Features

The Bogen Model PCMTIM is the telephone interface module for the Bogen PCM Zone Paging System, PCM2000. Only one module is required per system. The PCMTIM provides the telephone interface (including talk battery), night ringer input, emergency over ride input, background music source input, and auxiliary relay contacts for the system. The module is also responsible for all tone signaling features. Controls are included for background music volume and tone volume.

Interface

The PCM connects to virtually any telephone system:
PBX station lines and CO lines,
PBX Loop Start Trunk Ports,
PBX Ground Start Trunk Ports, and
Page Ports (using contact closure or VOX activation).

Interface installation consists of setting DIP switches and connecting with modular (RJ-11) telephone plugs.
