i want to install a valcom 1030c horn for a customer but he doesnt have a phone system. can i use a single line phone to page with on this horn. thanks dave

With a V1094 booster amp.You are going to need a V1024 to power the 1030 and 1094 together. Or use a V2000 because it plugs into AC power and provides the 24v for the V1030. (Do the math, it's probably a push!)

You need to use a V2000A controller/power supply. That will have a T/R input with battery feed for the phone.

Dave, does this S/L phone connect to an outside line? That would open up quite a few options. If it is stand-alone and only used for accessing the paging horn, then your job may be a lot simpler.

Mmmm, good point. I assumed that the phone would not be connected to an outside line.

I would assume that for such and application they would have some type of multi-line phone.

I cringe when I hear my customer doesn't have a system.

Maybe full info is too much to ask for? Without such, I would think it would attach to an open single line position.

I would think the cost of line sharing equipment would be higher than adding a multiline station in this environment.

Years ago I did paging from a two line telephones. I used Valcom products. Line one to the outside world and line two for paging. I don't remeber what all parts I used.

It would be as I said above. Page on the the line 2.

thanks for all the input. that gets me going in the right direction. dave
