sundance-communications.com/forum Forums TDM Business Telephone Systems Avaya - Lucent Telephones & Systems Suggestions needed ASAP

Could someone please give me some advise. Here is what I have. A Partner Plus with 3 Expansion cards, 3 different buidings, and 4 loudspeakers, running on T&R lines, off an amplifer. Here is what I need, I needed a devise that will tone a ring when the phone rings, over the loudspeakers. Everything that I have found can not work with Loudspeakers working off an Amp. The speakers need to be self powered. The Customer already has Bells, but according to Avaya, the bells can not work on the system, due to high power requirements, and the reason for us having to replace the units, which I have already done this past weekend. Please give me suggestions on what I can use.

Requirements:

Work with Partner Plus System
Audio tune over loudspeakers on an Amplifer.
Unit comes with own power Supply.
easily installed.

How about a Viking CPA-7B or a K-600D?

The Viking K-600D is an excellent piece if you're just looking for a ring signal in and warble tone out. It comes with a power supply.

For about $20 more, you can get a Bogen NR-100 and a power supply. It can use either a ring signal or contact closure to send tone out.

Just out of curiousity does this unit require too much power for a Partner System?

you could come off the speaker leads of a telephone into a paging amp or self amplified speakers, that way you can get both pageing and loud ringing

Valcom electronic ringers, require external p/supply, same as their horns.

Ring voltage to multiple bells is rarely sure.

Partner, particularly the newer releases have a poor track record operating devices such as external ringers.

Since there is already an amplifier and voice coil speakers in place you need a tone generator, not something with an amplifier also.

The Viking K-600D is all you need. Simply connect it to an extension port programmed to ring on the lines you want, connect the output of the K-600D to a spare line level input on the existing amplifier.
