Installation

ATTENTION

Installation should be performed by qualified personnel and only in

accordance with the National Elec trical Code or applicable loc al cod es.

Safety Guidelines

When installing any GAI-Tronics telephone equipment, please adhere to the following guidelines to
ensure the safety of all personnel:

• Do not install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.

• E lectrostatic Discharge (ESD) Protection: Your telephone may have an earth ground terminal

provision. If so, ensure that it is connected to ground in accordance with all local safety regulations
and the National Electrical Code (NEC). Grounding has to be ensured for safe and stable
communications. Do not u se lon g and co iled ground wires. Trim ground wires to the requ ired
length. Use a star configuration whenever possible. Please note proper grounding does not eliminate
the need for lightning protection for the telephone or the telephone system.

• Install a UL Listed lightning arrestor on any phone installed where the phone or phone cable is at

ris k of bei ng exposed to lig htning strikes . The l ight ning arr es tor must b e installed as cl ose as poss i ble
to maximize the protection. It must not be installed within the enclosure supplied with the phone.
Please consult our Service Center at 800-492-1212 for further information.

• Do not install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically designed for wet

locations.

• Do not touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been

disconnected at the network interface.

General Installation Guidelines

GAI-Tronics S.M.A.R.T. phones are designed to operate on telephone lines as detailed in the Product
Overview section of this manual. The telephones are designed to operate with one telephone per line. If
telephones are operated in parallel or “party line configuration” you may experience sporadic phone
operation, difficulties with programming, or premature disconnection of calls. Additionally, if special
features, e.g. voice mail, call waiting, etc, are not disabled, the phone may not function.

Tamper-Resistant Hardware

Models 226-003 and 276-003 are vandal resistant, with the front panel for each telephone attached to its
enclosure with tamper-resistant screws. A GAI-Tronics Model 233-001 Tamper-Resistant Screwdriver
(sold separately) is recommended for installing the tamper-resistant screws. Models 246-003 and 256­003 Telephones’ front panels are attached with standard Phillips head screws.

Conduit In stallation D etails

GAI-Tronics recommends installing telephone lines in conduit to protect against accidental damage and
vandalism. To prevent moisture from entering the enclosure, we strongly recommend the following:

• Conduit should enter the enclosure from the bottom.

• Sealed fittings should be installed at all cable entry points.

• Silicone sealant or equivalent should be applied around and inside all conduit entries.
