6.2.2 - DC10

Also known as Signalling System Direct Current No. 10 (SSDC10) this is another short distance PBX interlinking system. The link is a 2 wire system , A and B, with signalling being achieved by application of combinations of negative battery voltage, earth and loop (A and B connected together) to the wires along with two way speech. The battery voltage is usually 50 volts.

The table below shows the conditions applied to the wires during the various stages of a call. In some cases the duration of the condition is important and in such cases the duration is also shown.
