2. IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTES
• Telephone equipment makes use of

DC voltages of 48V and AC voltages
of 80V. It is the responsibility of the
installer to make sure that the
electrical parts of our system is
properly covered, and that the PE
(Protective Earth) is always taken
back from all stations to the exchange
system and properly wired to ship hull.
• Only authorized personnel should

open any of our boxes.
• Always power the system off before

handling
• The installer is reliable for proper

fusing the system, and for designing
the wiring and power supply capacity
in a way that ensures that fuses blow
first if a short circuit should happen.
• NEVER connect 230V AC to ANY

terminal of this system. It is powered
by 24V DC only.
• Relays of this product is designed to

carry max. 50V, 1A. Make sure that
the wires are fused by max. 1A.
NEVER connect 230V AC to any relay
terminals.
• NEVER leave the exchange without

the cover put back on.
• The SeaCom 1000 and SeaCom 2100

are enclosed by heavy steel boxes.
Handle these with care and mount the
properly fastened, so they do not drop
of their brackets.
• Make sure that the exchange unit is

mounted according to the instructions
on a vertical
bulkhead in order to assure proper
ventilation of the system.

Next is the number of extensions installed.
Pexh is the stand by power used by the
exchange.
4.5.4 Power consumption - stations

Except for the analogue telephones and the
SeaCom 220, all the communication stations
also require 24V DC power. The power
needed depends on the actual operation of
communication, where especially the PA calls,
which can engage all stations simultaneously,
must be taken into account, in order to ensure
that the peak power needed can really be
delivered by the power supply chosen.
A guideline is:
Pstby = 2.0W * Nst
Ppeak = 2.0W * Nst + 22W * Nstpa
Pstby is the idle power used

Ppeak is the peak power used
Nst is the number of station requiring
Nstpa is the number of stations engaged
in PA calls
At the lowest right corner of the cable

6. Commissioning
When the system is properly installed on
board, time has come for commissioning the
system. If installation and wiring is made by an
installer company, it is the responsibility of the
person commissioning the system to verify
that the installation is done according to the
recommendations.
Commissioning includes the below disciplines:
- Powering on for the first time Apply 24V DC and flip the ON/OFF switch
- Making sure that the system down and view the system start up. This takes

configuration chosen by the installer. For
instructions in how to use the configuration
tool software, refer to chapter 12.
There are 4 main disciplines:
- Setting equipment types
- Call number plan
- Access control
- System call numbers
6.3 Equipment type

For each extension line, the equipment
hanging on that line must be set. By default all
lines are set to basic analogue telephone with
no display, but for the communication stations,
it is important for the full set of features to be
revealed, that the system programming begins
with setting the equipment type of each
analogue extension line.
If an extension line is connected to a SeaCom
411 station, the line must be set up to be of
such type for example the direct in calls to

10. Circuit boards.

This chapter holds detailed technical
information about all circuit boards used in the
exchange systems.
10.1 PSU power supply unit
Switching from ON to OFF starts the power

down sequence, which takes 10 seconds.
When in ON and the Up position is used for a
short time, the power supply will skip the
power down sequence and turn of
immediately.
The PSU is found in the rightmost position of
the board magazine.
10.1.3 Indicators

10.1.5 Fan drive

An open collector output is used to drive a fan
relay located on the PIM module. The fan
relay is activated based on temperature
measurements.
10.1.6 Input power supervision

If the source supply voltage is below 18V the
power supply will switch off and stay as such
until the input voltage exceeds 20V. During
power low, the power indicator will flash.
10.1.7 Temperature protection

The power supply has a temperature
protection mechanism. The scheme below
shows its actions:
Temperature Action
< 35°C Fan off
Alarm relay closed
> 45°C Fan on
Alarm relay closed
> 70°C Error indicator on

audio in/out channels. - Relay 24V DC 1A
The FIO2 board comes in two versions, the

master and the slave.
One and only one FIO2 master board must be
found in all exchange systems, so when more
than two trunk lines or audio in/outs are
needed, additional channels are added using
the FIO2 slave board.
10.3.8 Features of the master

The difference between the two board types is
that the FIO2 master holds a master clock
generator and the HDLC master
communication function. Both these are
needed for all the circuit boards to
communicate via the backplane lane and to pass
voice as PCM samples between boards
engaged in conversation.
The FIO2 master also creates the dial tone
used by all cards in a system. 10.3.10 Connector
The FIO2 master board is connected to the
CP board via a bidirectional serial Trunk lines and audio are connected via the
communication link. Via thisis link, the CP is 16 pin front connector. All connections are in

Each channel has 3 jumpers, which are used

to select the hardware function of a line to
either the 2 wire analogue trunk function or the
audio in/out function.
When choosing a hardware configuration
using the jumpers, it is important to choose
the right equipment type for that channel in the
system configuration programming. Refer to
chapter 12.
The use of the jumpers are explained below:
Analogue trunk line:

Set all 3 jumpers of the channel in position
p

the default setting.
Analogue in/out:
Set all 3 jumpers of channel in position 2+3

printing telephone directories.
12.2.3 Service groups

All call numbers will be linked to a list of 32
service groups in which the call number is
entitled to participate. This system is used to
restrict access to for example satellite
services, wake–up calls, right to set system
time etc. 32 groups are available. The names of the
service groups are to be determined by the
installer, and can be edited globally from any
open service group editor.
The check marks however only relates to the
call number for which the editor is open, and
by checking / un-checking, the call number is
included or excluded from participating in a
service group.
The service group editor has two pages, of
which the second is used for including
telephones into paging and alarm calls

12.2.4 System call numbers

System call numbers are call numbers
representing a dialed functions which does not
have any hardware related to it.
A good example of a system call number is
the priority dialing. The user dials *, which is
the default call number of this type system
call. When the processor of SeaCom
encounters that the dialed number is a priority
call, then it presents the caller of a new dial
tone, and makes a priority call to the dialed
number.
The following system call numbers are
available:
- Priority dial
- Set date and time
- Wake up ordering
- Ringing group
- Short number dialer
- Number alias
- Standard dialer
- User Account and PIN code checker
- Paging call
- Call pickup
- Semi-duplex conference group
- Alarm distribution call

13. Call Data Manager

This chapter covers the Call Data
Management system (CDM). This system is
used for registering and billing of calls via
trunks lines.
13.1 General
The Call Data Manager is used to maintain the
user database of the SeaCom system. In
order for the system to be able to control
access to, and to keep track of the use of
outgoing telephone lines, a database of In the about box, read out the Stored ID and

Calls having a duration less than the free time
will not be charged (but still logged), and call

will have the free time subtracted before the

13.7.4 Short number editor

Dialing out via the CDM system can be
assisted by a short number conversion table.
This table is edited using the short number
editor.
The short number editor has two columns, the

first column showing the short numbers and
the second showing the digits to be dialed out
when the short number is used. Figure 14
shows an example. Note that the short
numbers are shown with both the # terminator
and without. If both dial timeout and the # end
key has to be used, this must be the case for
each short number.

If the batch filed does not exist, the execution
is, of course, skipped.
The batch file execution gives the possibility of
copying files to/from the system disk.
Executing bat4 is new to CP2 revision 0500.
bat4.bat creates a full system backup onto the
USB stick. The system backup is a full copy of
the contents of the SeaCom2000 folder found
on the system disk.
This backup is useful to store whenever a
system is commissioned, so both the
configuration file but also the corresponding
versions of CP software and configuration
software are backed up.
