Recommendation for the Signal Lines

The signal lines transfer tone signals and verbal messages from the CommCenter to the remote SelecTone
devices. To reduce the possibility of cross talk, hum, and static-noise pickup, the signal lines must be
twisted-pair, shielded audio cable. In the majority of systems, use AWG 18 twisted-pair audio cables. Federal
Signal does not recommend that new or existing telephone lines be used as signal lines in a SelecTone
system for the following reasons:
✓ Interference from other services or systems, or interference from the system to other services
✓ Cross talk, interference, or hum induced by other telephone lines
✓ Extended downtime because of the second party involvement required to service the lines
✓ The additional cost of installation, interfacing devices and monthly charges as opposed to a one-time
cost of performing the installation

Physical Specifications
REDUCED SOUND OUTPUT — If too small a diameter cable is used, unacceptable
signal voltage drop in the signal line will cause reduced sound output from the
remote signal device. Only use a cable having wire diameter greater than 22 AWG.
