PowerDsine Ringers


GPO Ringing Generators can be quite hard to find today.

This page has some data sheets for PowerDsine generators.

To locate these on the web it is recommended to do a search for the word "PCR-SIN01" on Ebay.

Datasheet 1
Datasheet 2

PCR-SIN01-V12 - 12 volts
PCR-SIN01-V24 - 24 volts
PCR-SIN15V48F00 - 48 volts


FAQ

Q.
The are labeled as having 17/20/25 Hz outputs: how are the different frequencies derived?

A.
The F0 and F1 pins are used to control the frequency, they're CMOS 5V input buffers, so tie them to 0v for a '0' and 5V for a '1'

F1,F0 = Freq

0,0 = 50Hz
0,1 = 16.7Hz
1,0 = 25Hz
1,1 = 20Hz

So to make it ring at 20Hz, tie both F1 and F0 to 5V.  To make it ring at 16.7Hz, tie F1 to 0V, and F0 to 5V.
