Front Panel Remote Control

It is possible to remote wire all versions of the TDS units to extend the front panel switch (Auto - Man - H/R) though it must be emphasised that this may involve considerable extra wiring. Whilst not complicated it should only be undertaken by those competant with very fine electrical wiring ie this is not 2.5mm T&E territory! Failure to properly connect wires will lead to erratic behaviour and possible line disconnection.

Why bother? For the vast majority of installations a shelf close to the telephone socket will be all that is required. However there will be occasions where lack of space or wiring considerations will mean that remote switching is the only feasible option and in this case the TDS can be fitted wherever convenient - in the loft, amplifier cabinet or wherever.

This is now a standard feature and all functions can be remote controlled via the facilities socket(s) which use a 5pin DIN connector. The product handbooks contain the latest connection details.

Other Functions

Remote Indicator(s) - Whenever your Dialup answers a call (AUTOmatic and MANual), the Active light illuminates on the front panel. The Facilities socket allows you to fit an additional Active light(s) at some remote location. See the product handbooks (facility page) for further details.

Remote Start - The Dialup has a switched output (via the Facilities socket) to start / stop or signal other equipment whenever a call is answered...more. Latest versions of the TDS (from Sept 09) using circuit board Dialup 8 have an internal link that allow the Remote Start output to be converted to a second Remote Indicator (move link from J21 to J20).

TDS1SR - By fitting a simple diode to the facilities socket, you can get the TDS1SR to auto answer incoming calls in RECEIVE mode. In other words you can call up a remote location and automatically connect onto their sound system such that they receive audio from you. This function can also be used to auto record telephone conversations - more. NOTE: The latest version of TDS1SR (from Sept 09) suppied using Dialup 8 circuit board, has this facility 'built in'. All you need do now to either 1) Enable link J24 or 2) Fit a switch to close a circuit between pins 3 and 5 of Facilities socket 2 (leave J24 disabled). See the latest product handbook for more details.
