How to construct a Purple Box.
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
|
|
================================
|
|
|
|
The Purple Box is very simple to construct. I 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 L2 and from the
|
|
red wire a connection to L1.
|
|
|
|
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.

|
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

The SCR is a three prong PNPN. The a,g, and c tell you what pins to use.
|
|
The "g" pin is the one closest to the notch.
