DESCRIPTION
Our Telephone Line Monitor (TLM) device is designed to activate whenever
the Telephone Line that it is connected to has been disconnected or cut.
TLM is totally ‘Transparent’ in operation and will not affect the use of the
Telephone Line in any way.
TELEPHONE LINE DISCONNECTION
TLM’s main role is to constantly monitor the Telephone Line that it is connected
to and only respond when the telephone line connected to it has been
disconnected or cut, which is detected by a loss of Telephone Line Voltage.
In the event that this happens, TLM will automatically CLOSE the contacts of
an Internal Relay, which in turn are used to trigger other external equipment to
advise of the loss of Telephone Line.
TLM’s Internally Relay has Dry Relay Contacts, rated at 12V/1A.
Three low cost Accessories are available from Natcomm for use with TLM, to
alert the User that the Telephone Line has been lost. These Accessory Devices
are all designed for Easy User Installation. See page 5 for further details.
The Relay Output of TLM can alternatively be used to Control a 3rd Party
Electrical Device (not supplied). An Accessory Device Connection box (with 2
screw terminals) is supplied for this purpose and connects to TLM via a short
supplied cable.
OFF HOOK DETECTION
In addition to its main function, TLM can also be set to indicate when a
Telephone Line is in use (Line is ‘Off Hook’). This facility is normally disabled,
but can be enabled by turning ON One or Two Dip Switches located on the
underside of the unit (see page 11 for details).
TLM can be set to indicate when :
* An Attached device goes ‘Off Hook’.
* A device connected in ‘Parallel’ goes ‘Off Hook’.
* Both of the above
* Neither of the above

DESCRIPTION Continued
TELEPHONE LINE CONNECTION
TLM can be connected to ANY Telephone Socket on the Telephone Line.
If another Telephone Device is to be used on the same Telephone
Socket, then it can either be connected using a Double Telephone
Adaptor (not supplied) or it can be connected to the LINE OUTPUT Port
of TLM.
POWERING TLM
A 12VAC Power Adaptor is supplied with TLM. It can also be operated
from a 12VDC source, with a minimum capacity of 200mA. If an
alternative 12VDC source is used, polarity is not important.
OPERATION WITH ADSL
TLM can operate on a Telephone Line which also has an ADSL service.
TLM will operate correctly, with or without ADSL Filtering.
If a separate Telephone Device is connected to the TELEPHONE LINE
OUTPUT port of TLM, then it will be necessary to have an ADSL FILTER
fitted ahead of the TLM device.

OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES
The Internal Relay of Telephone Line Monitor (TLM) can be used to control
one of Three low cost accessories available from Natcomm.
1) Mini Strobe Light (blue)
This accessory connects direct to TLM with a supplied
junction box and cable. A 10 meter cable is supplied to
allow the Strobe Light to be located remote from TLM.
The cable can be easily shortened or extended if required.
Important Note : The polarity of the 2 wires used for this accessory is important
and damage will result if the supplied Red and Red/Black wires are mixed.
It uses 6 high brightness LEDs to provide a SUBTLE but EFFECTIVE
indication that the telephone line has been cut, disconnected or is in use.
It can be wall or ceiling mounted using the supplied screws or by using
double sided tape.
Flash rate: 60-90 per minute. 1 Watt. See page 8 for further information.
2) Siren Speaker with Volume Control
The SIREN accessory outputs up to 110dB and is
therefore suitable for small factories. A volume adjustment
knob allows for the ideal volume to be set for individual
environments. A 10 meter cable is supplied to allow the
Siren Speaker to be located remote from TLM. The cable
can be easily shortened or extended if required.
Important Note : The polarity of the 2 wires used for this accessory is important
and damage will result if the supplied Red and Red/Black wires are mixed.
3) Power Control Unit
Our Power Control Unit accessory, will allow
ANY 240V Electrical Device (max 10A) to be
connected direct to it.
This means that you can use ANY desired Electrical Device to Indicate that
your telephone line has been cut, disconnected or is in use. Power Control
Unit connects direct to ANY Electrical Wall Socket. Your Desired Electrical
Device then connects to it via a normal extension cable socket. See page
7 for further information.
