Installations
Installation of a telephone or other standard (tip/ring) device in another 
building requires the following In-Range-Out-Of-Building (IROB) 
protectors to protect the control unit and device from electrical surges:
– System phone: two IROB protectors
– Standard phone: two IROB protectors plus one carbon block 
protector

Installing the Control Unit
The stand-alone processor module or a carrier and its modules are referred to as the control unit. 
The control unit must always be wall-mounted. 
WARNING:
There are no customer-serviceable components inside the system modules or carrier. There 
are hazardous voltages within that can cause severe or fatal personal injury. DO NOT OPEN 
MODULES.

Wall-Mounting a Stand-Alone Processor 
Module and a 2-Slot Carrier
Install the processor module within 5 feet (1.5 meters) of a properly grounded wall outlet (not 
controlled by a switch) and the network interface jacks.
Follow these steps to wall-mount the module(s):
1. Using the enclosed template, mark the screw 
locations on the wall.
2. Hold the processor module against the wall 
with the line and extension jacks facing left.
Leave at least 1 foot (0.3...

mounted PARTNER ACS processor module 
and the module to be added by grasping the 
tabs on the ends of the protector and lifting 
(see Figure 2-3).

9. Insert the 3-1/2 inch #8 screw into the bottom 
of the modules (see Figure 2-7). Tighten it until 
the mounting tracks of the PARTNER ACS 
processor module are flush against the wall. Do 
not overtighten or the module will warp. Then 
go to the next procedure, “Labeling Jacks” on 
page 2-9.

Wall-Mounting a 5-Slot Carrier and Modules 
Install the 5-slot carrier within 5 feet (1.5 meters) of a properly grounded wall outlet (not 
controlled by a switch) and the network interface jacks. When you mount the carrier on the wall, 
leave at least 1 foot (0.3 meter) of clearance at the top and sides, and 2 feet (0.6 meter) at the 
front and bottom to ensure proper ventilation.
For a 5-slot...

Labeling Jacks
After you have mounted the control unit on the wall, you must label the line and extension jacks. 
The line jacks are on the top of the modules, and the extension jacks on the bottom 
(see Figure 2-11). 4. In the other slots, from left to right, first install 
the 1600 DSL module, then the 012E, 308EC, 
or 206 modules, followed by the 400 or 200 
modules and/or a PARTNER Messaging or 
PARTNER MAIL VS module. Align the module 
carefully in the...

Follow these steps to label the line and extension jacks:
1. Label the line jacks on the processor module, beginning with “1” at the top line jack.
2. Do one of the following:
a. For a 2-slot carrier, label the line jacks on the other module.
b. For a 5-slot carrier, label the line jacks on the other modules by starting with the leftmost 
module and ending with the...

Grounding the System
Inserting Batteries in the Processor Module
The processor module uses two AAA-size standard alkaline batteries to guard against the loss of 
system programming in case of a power failure for 45 days to six months, depending on the 
freshness of the batteries. You should replace the batteries every year.
CAUTION:
Batteries and battery cover are packaged in a separate box. If you are replacing batteries, 
the old batteries must be removed...

1. Locate the battery compartment at the bottom of the PARTNER ACS processor module, 
below the extension jacks.
2. Push gently on the battery icon (the locking 
latch) and slide the battery icon up to cover the 
plus icon; this unlocks the battery assembly 
(see Figure 2-13).
