Panasonic TDA50 - Square System or CO Hold buttons, DPH4 Card Question 1

[jkirkerx]

I'm new to the Panasonic Line, Seems like a good system.

I have a TDA50 with DT512 Phones. I just wanted a plain square system for CO lines. Someone calls the business, pick up the phone, yell hey Chris Line 2, and he picks it up.

So I thought in the programming using the Management console software, that there is exclusive hold and just hold, the latter hold being anyone can pick up the CO line.

It's set to hold, but the calls have to be transferred to Chris's DT512. Is this just how it is? get use to it and learn, or can the system be set to the way I want it.

Question 2:

I also have a loud bell ringer in the warehouse. I bought the DPH4 card for the relays and sensors, I have all the wiring connected. but I just need to be able to trigger the relay.

So is the only way to trigger the relay is to send a signal to the sensor?
I guess the signal would be up to 5 volts at a max of 100 ohms, +- or positive and negative.

And I would have to grab this signal from an extension port?
Or can it be done via TDA50's programming?

Thanks for any reply to my questions.

you would use a short across the sensor like a pir or door switch or set relay to pull when line rings. the extension that rings is programmed in software and can not ring groups.

I don't what a dt 512 is but I presume it is a basic phone with no keys. you can give the main phones a park key or transfer call to *52 plus park pos 1 -9 and any phone can dial *52 plus park number 1-9 to get the call.

exclusive hold is also available as standard by pressing hold twice. but that is only to stop any other phone than the one that held it to pick it back up

So a short is like a jumper wire, across sensor 1, pin 1 and pin 2 to trigger the relay, this way I can test the wiring to the loud bell ringer. I'm not sure what a pir is, I know door switch.

[edit]
so I can just take a piece of jumper wire and short the sensor to test my wiring?, just want to make sure so I don't blow out the card.

Set relay to pull when line rings.
I can do that? in software?

A DT512 is a small basic Panasonic phone with 8 flexible buttons on the right, CO Buttons. I programmed the first 5 Buttons as CO line Buttons, and programmed button 8 to be a one touch button, to page system wide including the loud PA speaker in the warehouse. I wonder if I can program another button to *52 and then then the phone user just presses the final number of the CO line to pick up a call.

I would say the phone is a DT521 and you can program a park key on this phone

you can use a jumper wire to trigger a sensor. this will ring the destination that is programmed in sensor settings on the software.
pir is a motion sensor that will give a short id movement is detected.

if you have a relay selected you dial a code *56 plus relay number to trigger the relay for set amount of time. you have 4 relays, default is to open the doors for each door phone, but these can be changed to ringer or relay.

Oh Thanks for the info!

Weird thing, I setup the first phone via software and copied the setup to all the other phones, and now you can pick up CO lines by just pressing the CO line button at the first 3 stations, not sure about the rest. So I guess that is solved. I hope so.

I just have that loud bell ringer now, I'll test the bell circuit today, and look for a software trigger.

Thanks for your help, I will need to answer some questions here to return the favor.
