Equipment Electrical Rating
The control equipment is designed to operate on a mains supply of 230 Volts a.c. (230 V +10% -15%) at a
frequency of 50 Hz. It is not suitable for other types of supply. The maximum current consumption in normal
use is 200 mA.
Batteries
The battery used with the control panel must be a 12 V sealed lead-acid rechargeable battery of up to 7 Ahr
(plastic box) or 17 Ahr (metal box) capacity on the 2-44+ and 12 Ahr on the 2-20. The battery must...

Connecting the Galaxy 2 Series to the PSTN
The Telecommunications Network Voltage (TNV) port (terminals A and B on TB1) must be permanently
connected (hard-wired) to the PSTN via a BT master socket, refer to Figure 3.
Note: If the BT master socket is the newer type (
NTE5/CTE5), then the connection can be carried out by the
installation engineer. If the BT master socket is not an 
NTE5/CTE5, then the network operator must make the
connection.
Figure 3. Connecting the...

REN and SEN Numbers
It is possible to simultaneously connect a number of items to one line of the PSTN. The limit is determined by
summing the Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) shown on each item of apparatus, ensuring that the sum of
RENs is not more than four.
The REN of the Galaxy 2 Series is one (1).
Assume that all British Telecom equipment has a REN of one unless otherwise marked.
More than one item of series apparatus may be connected to the Galaxy 2 Series...
