- Recommendation U.2
- STANDARDIZATION OF DIALS AND DIAL PULSE GENERATORS
- FOR THE INTERNATIONAL TELEX SERVICE
- (former CCIT Recommendation E.2, 1951;
- amended at Arnhem, 1953 and Geneva, 1956)
- The CCITT,
- considering
- (a) that, when dials and dial pulse generators are used for the process of
- automatic selection by subscribers to the international telex network, it is
- advantageous to standardize as far as possible the characteristics of such dials
- and dial pulse generators;
- (b) that the stand the dialling speed and
- lost motion periods of dials presents no
- technical difficulty;
- (c) that, for the satisfactory working of certain automatic
- systems, the time between successive pulse trains should not be
- less than 500 milliseconds, but that experience has shown that the
- minimum time taken by an experienced operator to rotate the dial is
- of the order of 300 milliseconds;
- (d) that pulse ratios from 1.2:1 to 1.9:1 will ensure the
- satisfactory working of existing automatic switching systems;
- (e) that these pulse ratios can be usefully adopted with a
- view to simplifying direct calling between subscribers,
- unanimously declares the view
- (1) that in the international telex service, when dials or dial pulse
- generators are used for the automatic selection of subscribers:
- a) the dialling speed shall be standardized at 10 pulses per second with a
- tolerance of ▒ 10%;
- b) the lost motion period of dials shall be not less than 200 milliseconds
- nominal value;
- c) the inter-digit pause of dial pulse trains generated by dial pulse
- generators shall not be less than 600 milliseconds;
- (2) a) that the pulse ratio must be between 1.2:1 and 1.9:1, the nominal
- ratio may be chosen as lying between 1.5:1 or 1.6:1;
- b) that when the selection signals pass through a regenerative
- repeater it may be advantageous to use a nominal ratio of 1.5:1.
