Tone Commander 524 Installation Instructions
Important Safety Instructions
1. Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
2. Never install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is
specifically designed for wet locations.
3. Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the
telephone line has been disconnected at the network interface.
4. Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines. 
						

							CPU Installation
Mounting CPU and Blocks
Refer to Figure 5.
1. Fasten a plywood sheet to the wall with hardware suitable for the wall material.
2. Using the supplied mounting template, mark and pre-drill the mounting holes for the CPU.
Make sure that the CPU mounting location is within 5 feet of a standard 117 VAC, 60 Hz grounded
power outlet.
Allow at least one foot of free space above and below the CPU for ventilation.
3. Drive in four suitable fasteners (such as #10×¾ pan head tapping screws), leaving the heads out ¼.
4. Remove the two cover screws, turn each CPU cover fastener so that the slots are horizontal, then
remove the cover.
When installation and testing are completed, replace the cover, turn each cover fastener so that
the slots are vertical, then lock it in place with the cover screws to assure compliance with UL
requirements.If the cover screws need to be replaced, use 6-32×¼ pan head machine screws.
5. Hang the CPU on the four mounting screws and tighten the screws.
6. Label each side of the split terminal blocks as shown in the Designation columns of Tables 1 and 2.
7. Mount the blocks to the plywood sheet below the CPU, using suitable fasteners.
Cabling to Blocks
Refer to Figure 5.
1. Punch down the cables to the blocks as shown in the Wire Color columns of Tables 1 and 2. The cable
with the male connector should be punched down to the right side of block #1.
2. Plug the 25 pair cable from block #1 into the connector on the left side of the CPU circuit board.
3. Plug the cable from the left side of block #2 into the connector on the lower right side of the CPU circuit
board.
4. Plug the cable from the right side of block #2 into the connector on the upper right side of the CPU
circuit board.
5. Secure the cables with the supplied cable retainers.

							Reference Grounding
CPU Chassis Grounding
This ground connection is required for safety and EMI shielding. It is usually provided by the 3rd wire on
the CPU power cord. If the integrity of the power outlet ground is questionable, use the ground connection
shown below for the 524 CPU.
1. Connect a solid copper #10 or #12 AWG wire to the ground terminal on the CPU. The wire should be
tightly clamped between the ground screw and the cup washer.
2. Connect the wire to an approved ground, such as MGN (multi-grounded neutral) from the power lines,
building ground, a metallic cold water pipe, or a grounding rod.

Figure 2
Figure 1
Connect telco or PABX ground to the GRD pin on the
bottom right of CPU block #1.
DO NOT connect this reference ground to the CPUs
metal housing! Reference grounding of the 524 is necessary for proper operation. 
						

							Connections to Telco/PABX Lines
Line Testing
Connect a test telephone to each line; verify the presence of dial tone, and break dial tone by dialing a
number.
The 524 allows DTMF tone dialing only – refer to the Telco/PABX Requirements
section.
Test any additional features ordered with the lines. Open circuit voltage must be approximately 48 volts.

1. Connect Tip and Ring of each line to the associated
TandRpair on the right side of CPU block #1.
If the 524 is used with a key system, connect to the
C.O. side of the line cards.
2. If this installation has stations paralleled with console
lines, the stations should be connected to Tip and
Ring at the telco/PABX block.

2. Label the jacks 524 voice/data and 524 power.
3. Connect a 3 pair cable to each jack and run them to the equipment room.
IMPORTANT– Whenever nonkey adapters are used in conjunction with existing multipair cable, verify
that the adapters conform to Tables 3 and 4 above.
4.Only if the colors of your cables differ from the typical colors:fill out Tables 3 and 4 with the actual wire
colors of the cables for each connection.
5. Punch down the voice/data cable on the right side of CPU block #1, to the pins listed in the Console
#1 Designation column in Table 3.
6. Punch down the power cable on the left side of CPU block #2, to the pins listed in the Console #1
Designation column in Table 4.
7. If the system has two consoles (two attendant positions), punch down the second consoles cables to
the pins listed in the Console #2 Designation columns of Tables 3 and 4.
