Installing an RJ-31x Telephone Jack

Wednesday, July 18, 20122Comments

A special type of telephone jack called an RJ-31x is required with all security systems that use a central alarm monitoring service. The home central monitoring panel sends a message to the monitoring station when the alarm is activated. If the telephone line is in use when an alarm message starts or a phone instrument is left off the hook, there needs to be a way to clear the line and override all other call activity. Otherwise, the alarm message could be serious- ly delayed or blocked completely. Most security systems are wired to the phone line using an RJ-31x phone jack. This 8-pin telephone jack is specially designed to seize the phone line and send the alarm message. As indicated in the picture just bellow, the RJ-31x jack must be installed between telecommunications equipment in the home and the demarcation point where the phone line enters the home.

That was very rational. When deciding to put up security cameras, determine first the areas you’d like monitored. This gadget could be quite expensive if you’d put up one unit in every corner of the house. The key to such problem is proper angling. Home safety is paramount, that’s why it is really good news that home security cams are more affordable now. Having a secure home wouldn’t then be at all impossible for some people.
