		Overview 
			
		
						The BP-2A 
						Power Failure Transfer Unit is designed to connect 
						two-wire Central Office (CO) ground start trunk lines to 
						selected station telephones in the event of a power 
						failure or telecommunications system malfunction. The 
						BP-2A includes automatic loop start to ground start 
						conversion circuitry to provide the signaling required 
						to draw CO dial tone when a station telephone is brought 
						off-hook. This eliminates the need to add ground start 
						push buttons to the station telephones. In the normal, 
						non-transfer mode of operation, the BP-2A connects the 
						CO trunk lines to trunk ports on the associated PBX 
						system; PBX extension ports are connected to the station 
						telephones. 
		
						BP-2A 
						features include eight circuits of power failure 
						transfer (PFT), delay transfer on each of the PFT 
						circuits, 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-2A 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: ground start 
		
		
		Return to Normal Mode Delay Timer: 
		Time Interval: 0 to 15 minutes, selectable in 60-second increments 
		
		PFT 
		Circuitry Delay Transfer: 
		Off-Hook Recognition: 10 ±5 mA trunk loop current recognized as valid 
		off-hook 
		Off-Hook to On-Hook Duration: 1 second (nominal) break in loop current 
		recognized as valid on-hook 
		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-2A 
		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 a 1800 ohm resistor in series with the logic input’s optical 
		coupler. If sufficient logic current is available, logic inputs on 
		multiple BP-2A 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)
