GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This chapter describes the Exchange, Multi interface unit and IP station system configurations, station types, and functions of the N-8000 Series Packet Intercom System.
Page 15
1-2
Chapter 1: GENERAL DESCRIPTION

1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The N-8000 Series is a packet intercom system (IP network compatible intercom) employing packet audio technology*1. By connecting IP intercom exchanges (which can connect up to 16 stations per exchange), Multi interface units, and IP stations to a network (LAN or WAN*2), an optimal system can be constructed for in-house or wide area information communications such as duplex conversations between stations, periodical broadcasts, and BGM broadcasts. Since up to 80 exchanges, multi interface units and IP stations can be combined, systems of up to a total of 1,280 stations can be realized. The system's "echo cancellation"*
3
feature makes hands-free duplex conversation possible (conversations made without using a handset at both parties) between stations. In addition, the multi interface unit features a contact bridge function to be performed by way of contact input and output control.
*1Technology related to audio transmission over a network. *2The fixed global IP address must be assigned to the units connected via the Internet. *3A circuit that prevents acoustic feedback or echo generated when the voice output from the station's
internal speaker enters the microphone.
Warning
This is a class A product. In a domestic environment this product may cause radio interference in which case the user may be required to take adequate measures.

2. FEATURES

• Exchanges, Multi interface units, and IP stations can be distributed over a data communications network.
• Can be connected to an existing local area network (LAN) or wide-area network (WAN). The system can also be easily connected to fiber-optic networks without restrictions on operating distance.
• The dedicated software program enables centralized control with a personal computer.
• System maintenance (verifying operation log and Line supervision) can also be performed with a personal computer and Internet browser.
• Both types of exchanges differ in the following points.
N-8000EX: Internal 4 links*4, external 8 links*4, with PA paging output N-8010EX: Internal 1 link*4, external 2 links*4, without PA paging output
• Can be connected to the Exchange of the EXES-2000 or EXES-6000 Intercom System by a tie-line, or the PBX exchange via the analog E&M interface.
• The Multi interface unit can interlock with an electronic lock system or CCTV surveillance system by way of contact input/output control function.
• Using IP stations permits a system having no exchange to be created. However, the system configured only with IP door stations cannot be realized.
*4Link is a speech path. The "internal 4 links" means that 4 simultaneous calls can be performed between
the stations connected to an exchange or 4 different broadcasts can be simultaneously made in a system. The "external 8 links" means that 8 simultaneous calls can be made to the stations connected to other exchange or to IP stations, or 8 different broadcasts can be simultaneously made to other exchange system.

3. HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

The Internet is not guaranteed quality. So, when this system is connected to the Internet, packet loss may result if the network is congested, possibly causing voice communications to be interrupted or noise to be generated.

8. PAGING FUNCTION OUTLINES

There are two types of paging: (1) PA paging by way of external PA equipment and (2) Station paging by way of the station's internal speaker. Both types have access to the (1) zone paging function which pages one zone, (2) the selectable paging function which pages multiple selected zones, and (3) the all-call paging function which pages all zones simultaneously.

8.1. Paging Types

8.1.1. PA paging (Only when the N-8000EX/8000MI is used)
Connecting PA equipment to the N-8000EX exchange's or N-8000MI multi interface unit's output terminal permits PA paging to be made by dial operation at the station.
8.1.2. Station paging
Performing dial operation at a station permits paging to be made to other stations' internal speakers. When paging is made to stations engaged in conversation, its behavior depends on the following priority modes, either of which can be selected: "Paging priority" that puts the busy stations on hold and allows them to be paged, and "Conversation priority" that allows the paging to go through except the busy stations. Use the supplied N-8000 Software program to perform the mode setting.

8.2. Paging Functions

8.2.1. Zone paging
Calls can be made to one of the pre-programmed zones. For PA paging, assign a PA paging output to the zone number. For station paging, assign a station to the zone number. One of the following three settings can be selected: PA paging only, station paging only, or a combination of PA paging and station paging. Use the supplied N-8000 Software program to perform the mode setting. There are no limitations of the number of stations that can be programmed nor the number of PA paging output.
8.2.2. Selectable paging
By performing dial operation at the station, paging can be made to up to 10 zones of the pre-programmed multiple zones.
8.2.3. All-call paging
Calls can be made simultaneously to all of the pre-programmed zones.
Zone 1 Zone 2 Zone 3

8.3. Station Paging Receiving Mode

The station that receives Station Paging operates in either Conversation priority mode or Paging priority mode as described below. However, when the exchange to which the station connects is the N-8010EX, the mode is fixed to the Conversation priority mode. Use the supplied N-8000 software for the mode setting.
8.3.1. Conversation priority mode
• When a paging is made, the station in standby mode receives it. If it is engaged in conversation or dialing, it does not receive the paging.
• Even when a station is called while being paged, it continues to receive paging without being placed in called status. In this case, the calling party hears a busy tone. When a paging arises on a station being engaged in conversation and still continues after the conversation is over, the station starts receiving the paging on completion of the conversation.
Note
Dialing is possible even while receiving a paging.
8.3.2. Paging priority mode
• When a page is made, the station in standby mode receives it. If paged during a conversation, the paged station receives the page without terminating the current conversation, while a holding tone is transmitted to the conversation partner during a conversation between paging and paged parties if the paging station does not belong to the same paging zone.
• When the station being paged receives a call from another station, the paged station becomes busy and maintains the paging. When the call to the station maintains after paging completion, the station receives the call.
Note
Dialing is impossible while receiving a page. (Paging response cannot be performed at a paging receiving station, either.)

8.4. Responding to Paging

If the paged party responds at a station, the paged party can be put through to the paging party. The following two response modes are available. Use the supplied N-8000 Software program to set either mode.
8.4.1. Automatic response
If the paged party dials the number assigned to paging response, the paging party who initiated the paging last is called and put through to the paged party. To respond to the paging, use the station assigned to the paged zone. Use this mode when each paging zone is independent. When using external PA speakers, their zones must match those of master stations.
8.4.2. Zone number dialing
When making a paging, the paging party notifies the paging zone to use, and the paged party dials the designated zone number when responding. If the paged party responds dialing the designated zone number, the paging party who made the paging to the designated zone last is called and put through to the paged party. Use this mode in locations where broadcasts from multiple zones can be heard or if only the PA Paging is used. To respond to the paging, use the station assigned to the paged zone. Any station can also respond to the paging as long as it is connected to the same exchange as the station assigned to the paged zone or the PA paging output are connected to.
Note
The Automatic response does not function in the paged zone to which only the PA paging is assigned.

9. MULTI INTERFACE FUNCTION OUTLINES

Functions that are available with the use of the N-8000MI Multi interface unit are described below.

9.1. External Input Paging

Microphone announcements or background music can be broadcast to any desired channel by connecting a Remote microphone or playback components to the N-8000MI unit.

9.3. Tie-line Connection

Conversations or paging can be performed by connecting the N-8000MI unit to the exchange of EXES-2000 or EXES-6000 Series intercom systems. Wiring requires two pairs of cables per line, and the connected exchange must be equipped with a Tie-line unit (TI-20A for the EXES-2000 and TI-600 for the EXES-6000).

9.5. BGM

Background music can be transmitted to the station speakers in standby mode by connecting the N-8000MI unit to musical playing equipment. Any BGM program can be selected from 8 channels at each station.
* 0 dB = 1 V
Note
Since BGM is lower than conversations and paging in priority, BGM may be interrupted at a BGM-broadcast station even if the station performs no operation when other station makes a call or paging with all speech links busy. Especially for the N-8010EX, which has a small number of speech links, BGM interruption happens more frequently.

9.4. PBX Interface (E and M Interface)

Connecting the N-8000MI unit to a PBX permits conversations to be made between the intercom station and the telephone, or paging calls to be initiated from the telephone. The N-8000MI is connected to a standard PBX analog E&M interface using 3 pairs of cables per line. Since the ground return method is employed for the installation of the system connecting between the trunk and the N-8000MI, use grounding or connect the grounding cable separately.

9.6. Contact Input and Output Functions

The following functions can be realized by using the N-8000MI's contact input and output.
9.6.1. External equipment control
External equipment can be controlled by a one-shot make signal or a make/break signal provided at the N­8000MI's contact output through either interlock with received calls or station operation. Such control includes door remote control, calling station indication control, and hospital waiting status indication control.
9.6.3. Contact bridge function (external contact interlock)
Contact signals can be transmitted by way of a network.
9.6.2. Remote dial control
When the N-8000MI's contact input terminal is closed, a station is made to automatically perform dial operation. A set of up to 20 dial codes (including dial numbers and key operations) can be assigned to each contact input terminal. For example, signals from a sensor can automatically activate a station to make a call as shown below.
Note
To perform the remote dial control, the contact input terminal needs to be closed for over 50 ms.

9.6.4. Paging busy input
Busy status data from an airport broadcast system or similar large sound systems can be received when the N-8000MI is interlocked with such systems, allowing important information to be accurately transmitted.
9.6.5. System diagnosis
The N-8000MI diagnoses the system condition, and provides its results at the contact output terminal as open or closed contact. The system diagnosis is performed in a way that the N-8000MI connects the target equipment via the network. The contact output terminal is closed only when an abnormality has been detected. Thereafter, its closed terminal opens when the N-8000MI judges the condition to be normal. This function aims to diagnose the exchange's line status and the network status of the connected equipment.
Note
Diagnosis is performed at the set time intervals*. Therefore, the diagnosis results are not obtained in real time. The system condition, even if a change occurs, cannot be detected in the intervals from a diagnosis to the next diagnosis.
* Diagnosis results are renewed every 20 seconds or less.

Chapter 2: FUNCTIONS AND OPERATION

1. BASIC USAGE

Operation is the same for both the stations connected to the exchange and the IP stations connected to a LAN.

1.1. Calling from a Master Station

Step 1. Dial the number of the station to be called.
• Dialing from a master station is possible with its handset either lifted or in place.
The calling station's internal speaker sounds an audible call tone (heard in the handset speaker if the handset is lifted). When a busy tone is heard, wait till the line becomes free, and you are automatically connected to the called party.
Step 2. Conversation can begin when the calling tone stops
and the called party responds.
• When the called station is set to Automatic connection mode*, the calling party is automatically connected after a brief call tone and conversation can begin.
• When the called station is set to Continuous call tone mode*, a continuous call tone sounds until the called station responds, after which conversation can begin.
Step 3. When conversation is finished, press the Clear key
or replace the handset.
* Use the supplied N-8000 Software program to perform Automatic connection mode/Continuous call tone
mode setting. (Refer to p.5-52, 5-56.)
Note
If the system has been set for call time-out or conversation time-out, the call or conversation automatically stops after the specified time limit. The specific length of this time-out (in 10-second units between 10 and 999 seconds) is preprogrammed into individual exchanges or IP stations using the supplied N-8000 software . (Refer to p. 5-30, 5-49.)

Chapter 2: FUNCTIONS AND OPERATION
The calling station's internal speaker sounds an audible call tone.
• If the door station is not set to door station mode, a busy tone is heard
when the called master station is busy. When a busy tone is heard, wait till the line becomes free, and you are automatically connected to the called party.
[When the door station is set to door station mode]
The call tone sounds only once regardless of the called station's connection mode settings. When no response is made to a call within 30 seconds, the call automatically stops, as the call timeout is limited to 30 seconds in this mode.
[When the door station is not set to door station mode]
When the called master station is set to Automatic connection mode, the calling party is automatically connected after a brief tone and conversation can begin. When the called master station is set to Continuous call tone mode, a continuous call tone sounds until the called station responds, after which conversation can begin.
Note
Calls cannot be terminated at the door station.
Step 2. Conversation can begin when the called party responds.
[When the door station is set to door station mode]
Conversation automatically terminates in 30 seconds, as the conversation timeout is limited to 30 seconds.
Tip
This 30-second limit becomes invalid when lifting the handset, or pressing the hold key or transfer key at the master station.
[When the door station is not set to door station mode]
Conversations are available until the called party at the master station executes the termination operation.
Note
Conversation cannot be terminated at the door station.
Notes
• Preprogram the master station to call to. Programming can be performed by dialing operation of the multifunctional master station (refer to p.7-7) or using the supplied N-8000 Software program (refer to p.5-54, 5-59).
• Use the supplied N-8000 Software program to perform Door station mode setting. (Refer to p.5-52, 5-56.)

1.2. Calling from a Door Station

Step 1. Press the call button to call the pre-programmed master station.

Chapter 2: FUNCTIONS AND OPERATION

1.4. Station Speaker Volume

The volume of the master station speaker can be preset (in five 3-decibel increments) using the supplied N­8000 software program, however it can also be adjusted at the station.
• Pressing the [ ] key during conversation increases the volume.
• Pressing the [ ] key during conversation decreases the volume.
Note
The resulting volume level will be maintained even after conversation is finished.

1.3. Receiving a Call

1.3.1. Receiving a call at the master station
Step 1. Responding to a Received Call.
1-1. If the called station is set to Automatic connection
mode*, the call tone sounds only once, after which the calling party's voice is heard immediately through the internal speaker. Respond by speaking into the station microphone or the handset.
1-2. If the called station is set to Continuous call tone mode*,
press any key for hands-free conversation or lift the handset for handset conversation.
Tip
If a headset is connected to the called station, the call tone is also heard from the station speaker. Lifting the handset creates a handset conversation.
Step 2. When conversation is finished, press the Clear key or
replace the handset.
* Use the supplied N-8000 Software program to perform
Automatic connection mode/Continuous call tone mode setting. (Refer to p.5-52, 5-56.)

or
Duplex conversations
Re -measu r i ng
2.1.2. Handset conversation
Calls can be made or received by lifting the handset.
[Ambient Noise Level Measurement]
The master station has a function to measure ambient noise level at its installation site, automatically making the internal setting for proper hands-free conversation. (Since IP stations are so designed as to always perform proper hands-free conversation, they need not make the measurement.) If a malfunction of hands-free conversation such as one-way conversation from the station in high ambient noise area occurs, recalibrate by re-measuring ambient noise as follows.
With the handset in place, press the [ ] key and then the [ ] key to begin ambient noise level re-measurement.
"Re-measuring" will appear on the LCD (if the N-8000MS station is being used). After about five seconds, a confirmation tone sounds to indicate that ambient noise re-measurement has been completed.
Tip
The master station automatically measures the ambient noise level when the Exchange is powered up or the station is connected to the line. During the measurement, the station's status indicator flashes and the dial operation cannot be performed.
Duplex conversations
or
[Operation when both stations are engaged in hands-free conversation]
In "hands-free to hands-free" conversation between both stations, simultaneous two-way conversation is established by way of an echo canceller* and voice switch employed in each station. During this conversation, station's internal settings (parameters relating to the condition of sound reflection) are constantly updated in response to the change in sound collected by the built-in microphone, allowing for optimum hands-free conversation. When both stations make hands-free conversation after either one has been moved in a new environment or the environment surrounding the station has significantly changed, this may cause acoustic feedback. In this case, continue the conversation and the situation will soon return to the normal condition. If acoustic feedback cannot be removed, adjust the microphone sensitivity and speaker output volume of the station.
Note
Use the supplied N-8000 Software program (refer to p. 5-52, 5-56) to set the microphone sensitivity and speaker output volume. It is possible to set the master station's speaker output volume at the station. (Refer to p. 2-4.)
* An echo canceller is used to eliminate acoustic feedback caused when the voice outputs from the station's
speaker are picked up by the same station's microphone. As acoustic feedback cannot be eliminated thoroughly, the echo canceller is usually used in conjunction with a voice switch.

2.2.6. Group calls
• When a station is assigned to group call member station, if the station is called, this station (representative
station) and all member stations are simultaneously called by a continuous call tone regardless of their call receiving mode settings.
• Even when the representative station is busy, all of the associated member stations within the same group
are called by means of a continuous call tone. This continuous call tone stops when any one of the associated stations responds to the call.
Notes
• Use the supplied N-8000 Software program to perform the group call member station setting.
(Refer to p. 5-52, 5-56)

2.9. Executive Priority

If a called station is busy, as indicated by a busy tone, performing Priority operation from a call station transmits a short priority call tone, then forcibly terminates the current conversation, allowing the call to go through. Access to priority call operation or refusal of priority calls can be set individually for each station. Use the supplied N-8000 Software program to perform the setting. (Refer to p. 5-52, 5-56.)
Notes
• Any station can perform the Executive Priority operation.
• The Executive priority calls cannot interrupt the stations connected to the N-8010EX Exchange.
[Operation]
When Station A calls Station B, which is at that time engaged in a conversation with Station C, Station A presses its [9] key.
A call tone is transmitted to both Stations B and C, and the conversation is forcibly terminated, enabling Station A to be connected to Station B.
• If a setting has been performed to allow Station B to refuse interrupt calls, the Priority Call function cannot be used, and the busy status remains unchanged.

2.10. Time-Out

This function restricts the duration of calling, conversation, and paging to prevent the speech path from being left unused when a user neglects to terminate conversation or paging. When the set time has elapsed, stations automatically return to standby state.
Note
Use the supplied N-8000 software to set each time limit (programmable for 10 – 990 seconds in 10-second units). (Refer to p. 5-30, 5-49.)
Tip
The time limit is programmed at the exchange to which the station that makes the call is connected, or at the IP station that makes the call.

There are two methods of activation: one is to use the Audio input terminal (A in the following figure), and the other is to use the Contact input terminal (B). Set only the broadcast zones when activating the Audio input terminal, and both the broadcast zones and input sound source when activating the Contact input terminal. Set the input sound source operation mode to "External input paging."
Note
Use the supplied N-8000 software to perform each setting. (Refer to p. 5-40, 5-42.)
• Closing the control input terminal broadcasts the outputs from the external sound source to the preprogrammed paging zone(s).
• The broadcast ends when the control input terminal opens.
In this example, a sound source is broadcast to Paging Zone 1 by activating the Audio input terminal and to Paging Zone 23 by activating the Control input terminal. Both broadcasts will not coincide. While a broadcast is being made to Paging Zone 1, another broadcast by the Control input terminal activation is neglected.
[Priority]
• There is no priority between control signals coming to the Audio input terminal and the Contact input terminal. Even if either terminal is closed while the other terminal is closed, the later activation is not accepted.
• Priorities are equal between paging calls, whether they are initiated by the N-8000 system station or other system station. If one input terminal closes while the other terminal is closed for paging, the last paging is placed in standby mode, and is allowed to go through when the other paging is completed.

3.3. Responding to Paging

If the paged party responds at the nearest station, the paging party is called and put through to the paged party. "Automatic Response" and "Zone Number Designation Response" modes are available, and the system is preset to one of the two paging response modes. (Refer to p. 5-30, 5-49.)
Note
The station that receives station paging operates in either Conversation priority mode or Paging priority mode, which has been already set to the station. When in Paging priority mode, the station being paged cannot respond to the paging. Respond to the paging after the paging call ends.
3.3.1. Automatic response
If the paged party responds dialing the Paging Response key, the paging party who made the last page is called and put through to the paged party.
[Operation]
If the paged party presses the Paging Response key, the paging party who made the last page is called and put through to the paged party.

Chapter 2: FUNCTIONS AND OPERATION
3.3.2. Zone number designation response
If the paged party responds dialing the designated zone number, the paging party who made the paging to the designated zone last is called and put through to the paged party. When making a paging, the paging party should announce the paging zone to use, and the paged party can dial the designated zone number when responding.
[Operations]
Press the Paging Response key, followed by zone number paged.
Note
Enter a zone number with the same digit length (1 – 3 digits) set with the N-8000 Software program. The paging party who made the paging to the designated zone last is called and put through to the paged party.
[Example]
The station that can make response is as follows.
• Station assigned to the paged zone
• Station connected to the same exchange as the station assigned to the paged zone or the PA paging output are connected to.

4.4. BGM (only when the N-8000MI is used)

Connecting playback components to the Multi interface unit permits Background music selectable from up to 8 programs to be heard from each station speaker while in standby mode.
It is possible to make or receive calls at the station even in BGM mode. In this event, BGM broadcasts are automatically interrupted.
Interrupted BGM broadcasts are automatically restored after the conversation or paging is completed.
Notes
• Use the supplied N-8000 software to set the unit number and audio input number of the Multi interface unit
with connected playback components, and the stations that can receive BGM broadcasts. (Refer to p. 5-30,
p. 5-40, 5-49, 5-52, 5-56.)
• Since BGM is lower than conversations and paging in priority, BGM may be interrupted at a BGM-broadcast
station even if the station performs no operation when other station makes a call or paging with all speech links busy. Especially for the N-8010EX, which has a small number of speech links, BGM interruption happens more frequently.
• For a Multi interface unit connected to playback components and exchanges connected to stations that
select BGM, perform settings so that they can be connected to the network that enables multicast communications (Refer to p. 5-24) of high-quality mode (Refer to p. 5-25, 5-33, 5-45).

4.6. Calling Station Indication/CCTV Interlock (only when the N-8000MI is used)

By installing a lamp type indication board* at the specified station, conversation partners and calling stations that made calls to the specified station during conversation can be displayed on the board. The indication board can be shared among multiple stations (up to 8 stations) to indicate which station within the group has been called. It is also possible to use the N-8000MI's contact for interlocking the N-8000MI with a CCTV system so that a calling party is displayed on the monitor screen.
* Needs to be separately made to interlock with the multi interface unit's output.
Note
Use the supplied N-8000 software to set the Multi interface unit's contact number and the stations equipped with the indication board. (Refer to p. 5-30, 5-49, 5-52, 5-56.)
[Calling station indication example]
• When a station equipped with the
indication board is called, the lamp for the calling station lights. The lamp extinguishes when a response is made to the call and the conversation is terminated.
• Even if the station equipped with the
indication board is on another line when it is called, the lamp for the calling station (i.e. station in camp-on­busy mode) lights.
• The lamp extinguishes when the
station in camp-on-busy mode stops waiting.
Note
Operations in this description are based on the calling station indication mode being set to "During call and talk." Perform the setting using the supplied N­8000 software. (Refer to p. 5-30, 5-49.)
[CCTV interlock example]
• When there is a call to the station with a CCTV monitor, responding to the call displays the calling station's place on the monitor.

4.12. System Diagnosis (only when the N-8000MI is used)
The N-8000MI diagnoses the system condition, and provides its results at the contact output terminal as open or closed contact. The system diagnosis is performed in a way that the N-8000MI connects the target equipment via the network. The contact output terminal is closed only when an abnormality has been detected. Thereafter, its closed terminal opens when the N-8000MI judges the condition to be normal. This function aims to diagnose the exchange's line status and the network status of the connected equipment. Use the N-8000 Software program to perform settings for the network lines and equipment to diagnose. (Refer to p. 5-44.)
Note
Diagnosis is performed at the set time intervals*. Therefore, the diagnosis results are not obtained in real time. The system condition, even if a change occurs, cannot be detected in the intervals from a diagnosis to the next diagnosis.
* Diagnosis results are renewed every 20 seconds or less.
4.12.1. Line status diagnosis
If the N-8000EX or N-8010EX exchange's line to be diagnosed shows the status below, the N-8000MI judges the line to be abnormal.
• Station's CPU failure
• Line synchronization error
• Station number registered but not connected
4.12.2. Network status diagnosis
The N-8000MI attempts to communicate with the network-connected equipment to be diagnosed such as exchange, Multi interface unit, or IP station. If no response is detected, the N-8000MI judges such equipment to be failed.
[Example]
Diagnosis results can be displayed on a status indicator.

Chapter 3: INSTALLATION & WIRING

1. INSTALLATION OF THE EXCHANGE

The Exchange can be installed in any of three ways: (1) equipment rack mounting, (2) wall mounting, and (3) desk-top installation.

1.1. Equipment Rack Mounting

A) Elevated Operating Ambient - If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient
temperature of the rack environment may be greater than room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma) specified by the manufacturer.
B) Reduced Air Flow - Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air flow
required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
C) Mechanical Loading - Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be such that a hazardous condition is
not achieved due to uneven mechanical loading.
D) Circuit Overloading - Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply circuit
and the effect that overloading of the circuits might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Appropriate consideration of equipment nameplate ratings should be used when addressing this concern.
E) Reliable Earthing - Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular attention
should be given to supply connections other than direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips)."
The Exchange can be mounted on the CR-273 or CR-413 or standard EIA 19" Equipment rack. One CR-273 for up to 128 stations, one CR-413 for up to 192 stations and seven CR-413 for up to a total of 1280 stations can be connected. (Refer to p. 1-8.) For the CR-273 and CR-413 Equipment rack assembly or BU-412 Blower unit installation, read the installation manual supplied with the rack.
Note
When installing the Blower units, Terminal boards, and Exchanges, lay the equipment rack down face-up to do installation work safely. Since the Blower unit is installed from the inside of the rack, be sure to install it first, before mounting the other components.
1.1.1. Setting space
For maintenance works, allow much space between the wall and Equipment rack.
CAUTION
Do not block the fan exhaust vent. Doing so may cause heat to build up inside the unit and result in fire.
1.1.2. Caution when installing the unit
Do not stack up 3 Exchanges or more. If 2 or more Exchanges are mounted in the Equipment rack, be sure to mount the perforated panel of 1-unit size (PF-013B) or more above and below every 2 Exchanges.
Using the supplied rack mounting screws, install the terminal board in a location that facilitates wiring and maintenance work, taking into consideration the direction of cable entry into the rack.
