the 
STARPLUS Triad-S systems to the telephone network. Certain actions must be undertaken or
understood before the connection of customer provided equipment is completed.
Telephone Company Notif ication
Before connecting the STARPLUS Triad-S system to the telephone network, the local serving telephone
company must be given advance notice of intention to use customer provided equipment, and must be
provided with the following information:
QThe telephone numbers to be connected to the system.
-+ Triad-S system information:
oThe Ringer Equivalence Number also located on the KSU: 1.3B
8The USOC jack required for direct interconnection with the telephone network: RJl 1C
FCC Registration Numbers:
+For systems configured as a key system: (button appearances)
DLPKOR-24039~KF-E
oFor systems configured as a hybrid system: (dial access codes)
DLPKOR-24026-MF-E
Incidence of Harm
If the telephone company determines that the customer provided equipment is faulty and possibly causing
harm or interruption to the telephone network, it should be disconnected until repairs can be made. If this is
not done, the telephone company may temporarily disconnect service.

FCC Rules and Regulations.
UL/CSA Safety Compliance
The STARPLUS Triad-S system has met all safety requirements and was found in compliance with the
Underwriters Laboratories 
(UL) 1459. This system is authorized to bear the “NRTLK” marking.
Notice of Compliance
The STARPLUS Triad-S system complies with rules regarding radiation and radio frequency emissions by
Class A computing devices. In accordance with FCC Standard 15 (Subpart J), the following information
must be supplied to the end user:‘This equipment generates and uses RF energy and if not installed and
used in accordance with the Instruction Manual, may cause interference
to Radio Communications. It has been tested and found to comply 
with the
limits for a Class A computing device, pursuant to Subpart J of Fart 15 ofthe FCC Rules, which are designed to provide reasonable protection
against such interference, when operated in a commercial environment.
Operation of this 
equipment in a res~dentlal area is likely to cause interfer-
ence, in which case the user, at his own expense, 
will be required to takewhatever measures may be required to correct the interference.’

As with any sophisticated communications device, installation of the STARPLUS Triad-S system requires the
care and forethought of a competent technician. To assure easy servicing and reliable operation, several
factors must be considered when planning the system installation. The installation proceeds in these major
steps:
0 Site Preparation
9KSLJ and Power Supply (PS) Installation
o PCB Installation4 System Wiring
4
Keyset and Terminal Installation
4 Basic Installation Check-Out4
System Programming and Verification
Installing the 
STARPLUS Triad-S system is quick and efficient if these installation instructions are followed.
Site Preparation
General Site Considerations
The first step is to locate an acceptable site for the common equipment (KSUs, boards, etc.). When locating a
mounting site for the 
KSUs, the following points must be considered:4
KSLJs are designed for wall mounting and should not be mounted directly to a masonry or
plasterboard wall. It is recommended that a 
l/2 inch plywood backboard be firmly mounted to the
wall, and the KSU and MDF be mounted to the backboard.
+The location must have access to a dedicated 110 Volt AC (2 lo%), 60 Hz, single-phase circuit with
a circuit breaker or fuse rated at 
15 amps. A 3-wire parallel blade grounded outlet should be within
approximately 6 feet of the lower left rear of the BKSU mounting.4
The location must have access to a good earth ground, such as a metallic cold water pipe without
non-metallic joints. The ground source should be located as close as possible to the system.4
The system should be located in an area that is well ventilated with a recommended temperature
range of 
68-78 F and a relative humidity range of 5-60% (non condensing), 
						

							+The system should be located within 25 feet of the telephone company’s termination point. Also,
the location should be within the prescribed station loop lengths for all 
keysets and terminals. If
existing cabling is used, its location and conduits should be considered. Station wiring should be in
the building. Station ports are not designed for installation outside of the building.
eProtection from flooding, flammable materials, excessive dust and vibration.4
The site should be away from radio transmitting equipment, arc-welding devices, copying machines
and other electrical equipment capable of generating electrical interferences,4
Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause interference. In which case the
user, at his own expense, is required to take any necessary measures to correct the interference.
Backboard Installation
A wooden backboard is recommended for ah installations and must be installed when the location has
masonry or plasterboard wails. A 
l/2 inch plywood material is sufficient for most installations. The
backboard should be mounted at a convenient height, about three feet above the floor and be bolted in
various places to distribute the weight of the system.
Space should be available on the bottom side of the backboard for the MDF cabling and for optional
equipment such as a music source, battery backup, etc. It is recommended that the location of each major
item be roughly sketched on the backboard as an installation layout.
Verify On-Site Equipment
Once the equipment installation site is identified and a dedicated AC outlet, earth ground, and lighting and
ventilation are available, verify that all equipment required is on-site and was not damaged during
shipment, Unpack the 
KSUs to assure there is no shipping damage. Note that a mounting template is
packed with the BKSU; this template is required later in the installation. Check that the type and quantity of
boards received is correct and optional equipment and a Power Line Surge Protector are on-site. Do NOT
unpack the individual boards at this time.
If any equipment is damaged or missing, notify the appropriate personnel to correct the situation,

KSU Installation
The STARPLUS Triad-S system consists of a Basic KSU (BKSU) cabinet,
., .I -f
c“:-?>’ Mounting the Basic KSU
The Basic KSU consists of a plastic cover, a metal base frame designed for wall mounting. Before installing
BKSU on the wall, two wall mounting plates that are assembled in the bottom side of the BKSU, must be
extended for mounting. The KSU must NOT be mounted on a masonry or dry-wall surface; a wooden
backboard is required.
A mounting template is included with the BKSU. This template can be used to drill pilot holes for mounting
screws. Please note that the template provides screw hole locations for the BKSU and EKSU.
The BKSU is mounted with three #10 or larger, 1 
l/2 inch or longer screws. Drill pilot holes in the three
locations marked, insert the screws and tighten leaving about 
l/2 inch exposed,

Mounting the Expansion KSU (EKSU)
The Expansion KSU consists of a plastic cover, a metal base frame designed for wall mount installation. The
EKSIJ contains a power transformer and expansion interface board (EIB). The EKSU MUST be mounted
above the BKSU. Before installing the BKSU on the wall, the wall mounting plate that is assembled in the
bottom side of the EKSU, must be extended for wall mounting and the fastener provided with the EKSU must
be assembled with the EKSU. After positioning the EKSU above the BKSU, mark the location of the two screws
to mount the BKSU. The EKSU must NOT be mounted on a masonry or dry wall surface; a wooden backboard
is required.

The EKSU is mounted with two #lo or larger, 1 ‘/z inch or longer screws. Drill pilot holes in the two
locations marked, insert the screws and tighten leaving about 
‘/z inch exposed. Mount the
Expansion KSU on the screws and tighten the screws securely,
Interconnection is achieved via an 
amphenol type connector and power cable. The amphenol connector is
included and connects the EKSU to the BKSU on the right side through connectors labeled
