How do I connect a bell to the Partner ACS

[hankg]

Good Morning Gang,

I have a situation with a Partner ACS install. Here is the kicker- I install a 5x9 P/ACS at a customer site that has an existing bell in their warehouse. the bell worked off their old system but i tried to connect it to partner system it does not work. the bell is powered by an adapter that was drawn from the old system. Here is how I connected the bell to the partner.

I daisy chained the bell to one of the extentions of the phone system, the moment I did that, bell begin to ring and would not stop. so I like to know where did I went wrong or how do you do this? Pls. Help..... customer is mad by now because his warehouse workers can not here the phone ringing because of the noise in the plant.

The old bell operated off of 48VDC provided by a relay in the old control unit.

Either replace the bell, or get a 90VAC relay and a power supply for the old bell.

Does your amp or paging interface have that option?? List the equipment being used, maybe it can do it.
