The VRC2000 was designed to be remotely operated using standard dial-up
telephone lines. To accommodate this, the rear panel of the unit contains
two modular telephone jacks (Figure 22, below).
VRC2000 Installation
Continued
Connect the LINE jack [5] to a standard dial-up telephone line. Plug any
DTMF telephone into the SET jack [6].
SURGE PROTECTION NOTE:
The VRC2000 is a sensitive electronic device. In order to avoid damage to the
unit, always properly protect the VRC2000 from voltage surges over the
telephone phone lines and connected AC power lines.
The VRC2000 is equipped with a highly reliable Telephone Surge Protector
on the telephone LINE input. Gentner Communications does not guarantee
that this Telephone Surge Protector will protect your unit from damage
caused by all voltage surges; however, the Telephone Surge Protector will
help limit such damage. Never disconnect or bypass the VRC Surge
Protector.
The VRC2000 is registered with the Federal Communications Commission
(FCC). Its use is governed by FCC Rules and Regulations Part 68, regarding
devices to be connected to the switched telephone network.
The FCC places the following restrictions on the use of the VRC2000:
1. The VRC2000 cannot be connected to a party line or a pay telephone.
2. You must notify your local telephone company that the VRC2000, an
automatic dialing device, is being installed. If the unit is permanently
removed, you must again notify your local telephone company.
3. Gentner Communications Corporation must make all necessary
repairs to the VRC2000 needed to maintain a valid FCC registration.
Your local telephone company has the right to disconnect service if problems
develop on the telephone circuit in use by the VRC2000. The telephone
company must provide proper notifications so the cause of such a problem
can be addressed. Your local telephone company also has the right to make
changes in their off-premesis wiring. If any such changes are related to the
VRC2000, the telephone company must notify you in writing of the changes
so steps an be taken to maintain uninterrupted service.
Step 7 — Four-Wire Connections (Dedicated Circuits)
A dedicated circuit can be connected to the VRC2000, eliminating the need
for a standard telephone line. With this four-wire connection, all VRC2000
functions can be accessed (required tones required to program the unit may
be sent over the hard-wired audio circuit).
