Approval Numbers - Response 150 S/1000/3/N/502549
Approved as supplied for connection to the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) and
PBX 2-wire extensions.

DOCUMENTATION
User guides (supplied with the Answering Machine).
Response 150 - TPU 1666
Customer Field Notes. Published as necessary containing any product specific transitory
information.
PLANNING
A Phone Socket and a 240 volts, 13 amp, 50 Hertz mains supply is required within 2.5
metres of the Response 150.
The Response 150 is suitable for use on Phone Socket installations on DELs and most types
of PBX extensions that provide automatic ringing. The Response 150 has a Ringer
Equivalence Number (REN) of 1 and is intended for use in normal Domestic, Residential or
Business locations. It is not suited for use in bathrooms or other locations prone to damp
or condensation.
Approximate overall dimensions are:-
135 mm x 205 mm x 54 mm, weight 910 grams.
It the machine has failed completely, the output voltage of the Transformer should be
checked. The output is marked 9V AC, but will measure about 12volts when tested with the
output open circuit.
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
The user is advised in the User Guide to change the tape at six monthly intervals, turning
the tape over once after three months. On each occasion the tape is changed or turned
over, the tape head should be cleaned and a new OGM must be recorded.
WARRANTY
New units carry a 21 month warranty from the date of manufacture, identified by the first
4 digits (YY WW ****) of the 8 digit serial number marked on the underside of the machine.
This guarantee is from supplier to BT.
PSU OUTPUT VOLTAGES
On-site maintenance of the Response range is limited as the equipment
contains no serviceable parts. Some routine servicing - detailed in the User
Guide should be carried out by the customer, but field maintenance is restricted
to checking the facility switch settings and testing the power unit output.
Several adapters used with Response instruments are marked with lower outputs
than those actually measured. Approximate voltage readings (with the output open
circuit) are as follows:-
Transformer 19B (marked 13.5V DC) measures 19 - 20v.
Transformer 752 (marked 9V AC) measures 11 - 12v.
Transformer 753 (marked 9.5V DC) measures 13 - 14v.

KNOWN ISSUES
ACTION BEFORE CHANGEOUT (July 1994)
It has been reported that a large quantity of the Response range of TARMs have been returned as faulty without being fully reset and retried. Some faults are caused
by quick line disconnects and Radio Frequency Interference and may be cleared by a reset.
Models such as the Response 200, 300, 400, 500 & 1000 have all got a reset button on the underside of the unit. Depressing this button momentarily, using a small probe, will perform a slightly different reset to that performed when the mains is turned off/on. It is suggested that this is performed first, then retry all facilities, before changing out the unit.
However, if after changing the unit the same fault recurs on the new unit, the problem may be site specific and changing the unit again will be of no advantage. If this is the case, please contact the Technical Helpdesk for further advise.
RESPONSE RANGE: NOT CLEARING AFTER CALL (July 1994)
A major problem with Response TARMs recording after a message has been left has been caused by the exchange equipment presenting 'clicks' on the line when it is idle. This is due to a modified line card on System X exchanges. BT Labs are
aware of the problem and are investigating a cure. Changing the unit will not clear this problem.
