Telephone instruments (BT and non BT supplied) are required to be labelled with their REN so that users do not exceed the permitted maximum number of ringers in circuit. A telephone with a REN of 1 has a ringer performance comparable to that of a standard instrument (Telephone No. 8746), the total REN value of all ringers connected at any time at an installation must not exceed 4.

The REN does not guarantee compatibility between ringers of different technologies on the same installation.

INSTALLATION
Telephone No. 8401AR is supplied with a line cord terminated with a Plug No. 431A. When used on C Wire signalling systems the line cord should be changed to a Cord Connecting No. 6/524 terminated as shown below:-

LINE TESTING
ON-HOOK
Telephone No. 8401AR each draws typically 24 micro Amps on-hook line current on a 50 volt line to retain stored number memory. This may give apparent 'Low Loop' line test conditions.

OFF-HOOK
As with other modern press button telephones, the electronic keypad and transmission circuitry may appear to give High Resistance telephone loop test conditions.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
POWER REQUIREMENTS
The keypads of Telephones No. 8401AR are line powered and required no external power supplies. Line current is drawn whilst the telephone is "on hook" to maintain stored number memory. The stored number memory will be cleared if the telephone is disconnected from line for longer than (typically) 10 minutes. There is no provision for memory retention batteries in Telephone No. 8401AR.

RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE
Telephone No. 8401AR is designed to incorporate good RFI immunity in the frequency range 50KHz to 200Mhz.

FIELD OF USE
Telephone No. 8401AR is suitable for use where customers need to access MF signalling data services (e.g. Voicebank and Message pager services) via Loop Disconnect pulsing network but may also be used to supersede existing Ambassador Telephones, where appropriate, when direct replacements are not available.

The timed break recall facility will work satisfactorily on 70 Volt System X Lines.
