Default Convertor ringing 2A

The square grey plastic box, item 375507, used to provide external bells on Norstar and some other systems.

I used to have, or could find online, information about the terminals, but I've lost it. Can anyone help?

Inputs PL1
AC IN
DC AUX
DC +
DC -
AC COM

(there are 4 connections for 5 designations - are DC- and AC COM the same?)

Output PL2
HIGH
N/C
LOW

"Ringing Generator" - that's why I couldn't find it. I did search, honestly! Slightly embarrassed

Thank you.

I've got one sitting on the bench- all the info is on the rear on a label. Ringing generator 2A
Item code 375507 , With a another number "GRS/90340004685" .
I used to remove them from old BT systems I replaced with Panasonics and kept them as often I'd be asked to fit an extension bell to something like a Norstar. Can't help on the battey supply as I had an old mate who used to help me out with wiring & programing. In return I could help him out with problems on Panasonic programming.
I also used to take out (smaller BT systems) a NTE sized socket with an invertor on the rear which runs on a 47v supply. It is polarity sensitive.
( Mentioned this one on here before , but nobody seemed to have seen one ,or knew the number/ N DIAGRAM ).
For info was in April this year .
