The rotary dialer is coded "41". it requires 18 Volts AC to operate the synchronous motor that drives the dialing mechanism.

You should apply 18 VAC to the violet/orange pair of the telephone mounting cord at a convenient point in your wiring scheme (connecting block, 66 block, etc.)

You can derive the 18 volts from a separate transformer, or from the 18 V tap on the key system power unit. Unlike the 18 V that is used for the 3- and 4-type speakerphones, which can't be grounded, the power for the dialer **CAN** be grounded.

I think the DTMF version is coded "40" which **would** be polarity-dependent. The DTMF dialer does not require the external power supply, since it dials out in real time as the dialing card passes over the contact matrix, on its way up.
