Skutch AS-26-22 Automatic, Bi-Directional,
220v
Single Line Simulator, Discontinued
The AS-26 220v was developed to
meet the rising need for a Bi-Directional Telephone Line Simulator for 220v
European connection. The AS-26 will allow either Telecommunication Device to
RING UP the other. The AS-26 provides a simulated RING BACK signal, to the Telecommunication Device that initiates the call, during each ring to the other Telecommunication Device. The AS-26 has an adjustable DIAL TONE option, that
allows you to select from no dial tone to a maximum of six seconds of dial tone,
before the unit rings up the other Telecommunication Device. The AS-26 also
provides you with a Bi-Directional AUDIO jack for recording HIGH QUALITY AUDIO
into a Telecommunication Device, or for recording your voice information to
tape. The AS-26 even provides you with WINK disconnect in one direction, to
assure you of fast disconnect.

Manual
The AS-26 was developed to meet the rising need for a
Bi-Directional Telephone Line Simulator. The AS-26 will allow either
Telecommunication Device to "Ring Up" the other. The AS-26 provides a
simulated ring back signal, to the Telecommunication Device that initiates the call,
during each ring to the other Telecommunication Device. The AS-26 has an adjustable
dial tone option, that allows you to select from no dial tone to a maximum of six seconds
of dial tone, before the unit rings up the other Telecommunication Device. The As-26
also provides you with a Bi-Directional Audio jack for recording high quality audio into a
Telecommunication Device, or for recording your voice information to tape. The AS-26
even provides you with "wink" disconnect in one direction, to assure you of fast
disconnect.
Installation
- Connect the power cord from the AS-26 to any standard 110VAC power outlet.
- Connect one Telecommunication Device (TD1) to the jack on the AS-26 labeled Telephone
(you can use any telephone with an electronic ringer.)
- Connect the other Telecommunication Device (TD2) to the jack on the AS-26 labeled Voice
Card.
- To make tape archives with the AS-26, connect the audio jack to the microphone input of
any portable tape recorder.
- To download high quality audio to a Telecommunication Device, connect the audio jack to
the headphones output of any portable tape recorder.

Operation
To activate the AS-26, simply take either TD1 or TD2
off hook. The AS-26 will ring up the other TD with an interrupted ring signal, while
also giving the initiating TD a simulated ring back signal to indicate each ring.
Once both TD's are off hook, you will have talk battery and you can perform any function
you would normally do on any standard telephone company line (except for hook
flash). When you finish, simply place the initiating TD back on hook; if the call
was initiated from TD1, then the AS-26 will issue a wink disconnect signal on TD2 (Note:
The wink signal only goes from TD1 to TD2.)
To record high quality audio onto a Voice Card from a
tape, connect the audio jack from the AS-26 to the headphones output of any standard
portable tape recorder. Connect a telephone to the jack labeled Telephone, and the
Voice Card to the jack labeled Voice Card. Take the telephone off hook; when the
AS-26 connects you to the Voice Card, set the Voice Card to record, the play some of the
message from the tape. Now play back the message from the Voice Card and check it
for audio level and clarity. Make any adjustments necessary, then repeat the prior
steps until the play back from the Voice Card sounds great, then you can record the entire
message. Hint: To reduce the background noise from the office, you can use a
local telephone that has a mute button, or if the telephone's touch tone key pad is not
part of the handset, you can just unplug the handset cord from the handset during the
recording process. When you're finished, just place the telephone back on hook, and
that's it.
To make a tape archive of your messages, simple connect
the audio jack from the AS-26 to the microphone input on any standard portable tape
recorder. Connect a telephone to the jack labeled telephone, and the Voice Card to
the jack labeled Voice Card. Take the telephone off hook; when the AS-26 connects
you to the Voice Card, just place the tape recorder in the record mode and play the
messages back. When you're finished, just place the telephone back on hook, and
that's it.
Jumper Settings
The AS-26 has two, internal, computer type jumpers that
are used to adjust the dial tone option of the unit. The available options are no
dial tone, 2 seconds of dial tone, 4 seconds of dial tone, and 6 seconds of dial tone.
If you chose no dial tone, the AS-26 will instantly start to ring up the other TD
when one of the TD's goes off hook; any other option, the unit will provide the dial tone
and then wait 3 seconds before starting the ring up process. To adjust the dial tone
option, open the unit, pull the shorting blocks off of the computer jumpers J1 and J2,
place the shorting blocks on the jumpers for the desired setting, then reassemble the
unit.
