How to Construct a Purple Box.
|
||
------------------------------
|
||
|
||
|
||
The Purple Box is very simple to construct. It takes only six components
|
||
and a PC board if you want. The Purple Box is a telephone hold button. It
|
||
will allow you to switch phones very easily.
|
||
|
||
A red LED indicates when a party is on hold and is automatically
|
||
extinguished when either party releases the line.
|
||
|
||
To install your Purple Box, remove the telephone case and locate the red
|
||
and green wires. From the green wire, make a connection to L1 and from the
|
||
red
|
||
wire a connection to L2.
|
||
|
||
To test the circuit, call a friend and then while pressing the push
|
||
button, hang up the phone. As soon as the phone is on the hook, you may let
|
||
go
|
||
of the push button.
|
||

||
Parts:
|
||
|
||
D1 = Light Emitting Diode (LED)
|
||
D2 = 1N4003 Diode
|
||
R1 = 820 ohm 1/2 Watt
|
||
R2 = 1K ohm 1/2 Watt
|
||
S1 = N.O. Push Button S1
|
||
SCR1 = C106B1 __|__

The SCR is a three prong IC. The a,g, and c tell you what pins to use. The
|
||
"g" pin is the one on the left if you look at the numbers.
