Well, I think I'm Done......for now. (key system setup)

[Babybearjs]

Enclosed are some pictures of my key system setup as of 03/18. I think I'm done for now, as all the stations are wired and working... the ICM is complete and all the signaling is working... I have my alarm panel completely hooked up and its been totally converted to LED lamps.... and the buzzers are installed.... (these are tied to terminals 7 and 8 on my 212 and 202.) I even added my #8 Buzzer to the alarm cabinet, but can't get it working due to lack of operating voltage...still haven't found out what its voltage is.... won't work on any of the outputs on my 20B2 power supply.  Speaking of which, I also converted it from #24 fuses to GMA fuses. a lot easier to replace and when you can get 100 of those for $15.00  it really saves money.... the #24 fuses are hard to get, and too expensive.... I hope you all like the pictures..... Oh yeh, I also added a 25 pair jack for testing phones that I don't have on my system.... this too is an expensive piece and I only have 1 of them.... going from 25 pair to 4 8 pair cabling has really a work... now that everything is on a home run system....trouble shooting is a lot easier and no more crawl space wiring.... (well, almost.... I still have splices, but not like what I had.....)

Very nice setup! Looks like a lot of work! I like the fuse retrofit also.

Quite the blend of equipment eras, very well organized and rather impressive. I'd feel sorry for any cable repair person that opens that door.....

Nice job! I need to get my 19" rack built out - just never enough hours in the day!

I would like to get my 551B system operational but like Jim stated "never enough hours in the day" or enough room in my home office/phone room.

I had to switch out my 212KTU with a new one.... the "FA" relay contacts are out of alignment and I didn't have the tools to adjust it... so I just switched out the whole unit.. put the old one to sleep for now.... the whole system works great and now with the 208's online, my intercom works better then before.... took me awhile to understand how the 208KTU works.... now that I'm that much smarter.... I'll be able to tackle the next problem....if there is one....

As an old PBX tech nothing is more important the a a clean crosswire field.  Every Friday I would pull all connections tight and have the crosswire perfect. Easy to find a pair when the cross wire is neat and secured. This was for an 18 floor building. Now in the day of LAN cables, I am hardly ever in the MDF. Back to work in a month...Doug

  :)LOL! its a piece of work alright.... I had posted the picture of the modified 66 block on FB's "Bell Telephone of The US and Canada" site and got some "interesting" feedback.... I look at it this way... the "Bell system" is gone, and so are the rules of the day.....custom....all custom.....
