ABSTRACT:
A line circuit for a key telephone system using as the main operative components, two relays i.e. a ring relay and a combined off-hook and hold relay and an optical coupler and rectifier bridge combination. On a ring signal from the exchange, the optical coupler is activated to cause the energization of the ring relay. On a station of the line going off-hook, the conventional A lead ground operates the off-hook relay and causes de-energization of the ring relay. When a station of the line goes into hold, the circuit must differentiate this condition from a hang-up condition. This differentiation is performed by the coupler sensing the line voltage as low or high. The line voltage is high if the line loop is open indicating a hang-up condition. The line voltage is low if the line loop is still closed during the sensing period as a preliminary to the hold condition. The off-hook relay is held during this sensing operation so that the circuit may enter the hold condition when indicated.
