Skutch Electronics AS-6 - Manual (Page 2)

• Mute
The MUTE switch is used to mute the local telephone so it will not
interfere with recordings. You must also have the MUTE switch engaged if
you wish to operate the simulator without using a local phone. The MUTE
switch must be OUT or disabled if you wish to control your voice system
with the touch tones on the phone.
• Output
This 1/8" phone jack is an audio output jack. It allows you to make
cassette recordings of messages from your voice system. To use it simply
connect a patch cord from the jack to the mic input on your cassette recorder.
This jack can also be used as an audio input if desired. In this case you
should drive it with an earphone output with adjustable volume.
• Level Meter
The level meter shows the audio level that is present at the phone line
input to your voice channel. It is calibrated so that the "0" is at the -10dbm
level. This is the normal audio level on phone lines.
• Audio Inputs
The MIC jack is a 1/8" phone jack. It is designed to accept MIC level
inputs. When a MIC is connected to this jack the LINE jack is automatically
disconnected. Use the INPUT LEVEL control to adjust the appropriate
volume.
The LINE level input is used for pre-amp level audio sources. The
INPUT LEVEL control is used to adjust to the desired level.
• Simulator Operation
This is an example how you would use the AS-6 in your application.
First connect an external audio source with the pre-recorded audio prompts to
either the MIC or LINE inputs. Change the TELE-LINE/SIMULATOR
switch to the SIMULATOR position. Disengage the MUTE switch. Pick up
the local phone and momentarily depress the RING UP switch to activate the
voice channel. At this point you should hear the initial voice prompt from
your voice system. Use the touch tones on your phone to route the voice
system to record a prompt. Upon starting the recording process, engage the
MUTE switch, activate the external audio source, and use the phone to
monitor the audio from the external audio source. At the end of the prompt,
disengage the MUTE switch and use the touch tones on the phone to
terminate the recording. Repeat this procedure for all prompt recordings. To
terminate the call, make sure the MUTE switch in disengaged and hang up
the local phone. This will simulate a disconnect condition and the voice
channel should immediately disconnect. Change the TELE-
LINE/SIMULATE switch to the TELE-LINE position.
