Power-Fail Transfer

Discontinued

Peace of mind protection during equipment failures

Both “154” Bypass products transfer 8 system phones to CO trunks when the power or phone system fails. All connections are isolated from the phone system while in Bypass mode. Multiple units can be ‘ganged’ together to support more than 8 trunks.
Model 154A-8/PSU requires a -24V power supply (plug-in supply included).
Model 154-8 requires a local -48V power source (Nortel external supply).

The 154A & 154 work with ground-start or loop-start trunks. Ground-start detection is automatic. No configuration is required. Both models also act as Automatic Loop-Start to Ground-Start Converters, allowing loop-start equipment to work on ground-start trunks without requiring a button. This function can be used with or without the transfer feature.

Transfer can be activated either by power failure, a manual bypass switch, or a switched ground (SWE) from the phone system or remote location. They can also control auxiliary equipment (and/ or other Bypass units) with two sets of dry relay contacts available.

When the power is returned, the Bypass unit will restore only those powerfail trunks that are idle. In-use trunks are restored only after they become idle. Calls are never lost a second time! (For digital sets or to defeat this feature, ask about model 154X.)

Models 154A and 154 are identical apart from the power supply voltage. Both are intended for use with “-48V” POTS lines, but support a wide range of line voltages. See Ordering Information chart for complete model numbers.

Application

When the power goes out, or you have a major alarm, you will continue to receive calls and business goes on as usual. You can even control auxiliary equipment using the Dees Bypass unit, such as an auto-dialer to inform another branch or customer that your power is down.

If your application doesn’t need the Transfer function (Ground-Start only), no power supply is required.
