Telephone Grounding Precautions:
The autopatch interface on the 'RLC-Club' contains a 3 pole SIDACtor that is used to provide
TM
surge and lightning protection to the circuits of the controller. You will notice that there is a
separate ground terminal provided. This terminal must be connected to an external earth
ground to provide the controller with the designed protection. Do not connect this ground to
your power supply ground terminal. Connection to the power supply ground can damage both
the controller and the power supply incase of a surge/lightning strike on the phone lines.
The autopatch provides 2 fuses (500mA) in series with the phone line (F3 is series with the
telephone TIP, and F2 is series with the telephone RING ciruits). If either or both of the fuses
blow, a surge/lightning incident has occurred. Only replace the fuses with 500mA, pico fuses.
If larger fuses are used, damage to the controllers telephone interface can occur. UL1459
regulations require the fuses, so don't bypass them.
