Overview
The BP-1A Power Failure Transfer Unit is designed to
connect two-wire Central Office (CO) loop start trunk
lines to selected station telephones in the event of a
power failure or telecommunications system malfunction.
In the normal, non-transfer mode of operation, the BP-1A
connects the CO trunk lines to trunk ports on the
associated PBX system; PBX extension ports are connected
to the station telephones.
BP-1A features include eight circuits of power failure
transfer (PFT), LED status indicators, manual transfer
switch, an auxiliary relay contact, return to normal
mode delay timer, and universal powering. Also included
are provisions for a normally open, normally closed, or
logic level signal to control the operating mode.
BP-1A Specifications
Transfer Voltage:
Minimum voltage to go from normal mode to transfer mode: 8 Vac, –10 Vdc,
approximate
Minimum voltage to go from transfer mode to normal mode: 10 Vac, –18 Vdc,
approximate
Number of PFT Circuits: 8
Trunk Compatibility: loop start
Return to Normal Mode Delay Timer:
Time Interval: 0 to 15 minutes, selectable in 60-second increments
Accuracy: ±10% of selected time interval
Auxiliary Relay Contact NO1:
Type: normally open (not shorted), break before make
Rating: 0.5 A maximum at 60 Vdc or 60 Vac (resistive)
Transfer Control Inputs:
Contact Input: the contact connected to the contact input must be
capable of handling 1 mA at –24 Vdc; contact inputs on multiple BP-1A
units can be bridged (connected in parallel)
Logic Input: transfer is enabled by applying a logic low to the logic
input. Minimum logic current for logic high: 1 mA. Input current is
limited via an 1800 ohm resistor in series with the logic input’s
optical coupler. If sufficient logic current is available, logic inputs
on multiple BP-1A units can be bridged (connected in parallel).
Operating Modes: switch selectable for normally open contact input,
normally closed contact input, or normally high logic input
Environment: 0 to 50 degrees C, humidity to 95% (no condensation)
