Connection may not be made to pay telephone extensions or shared service (party) lines.
Each telephone requires a minimum line current of 20 mA for proper operation. For operation below
−4º F (−20° C), GAI-Tronics offers a plug-in power supply (120 V ac required), which will allow
operation to −40° C. Please refer to page 18.
The SMART Telephones provide the flexibility to address a diverse range of applications. A wide variety
of functions can be achieved by altering the configuration data stored in the telephone’s non-volatile
memory. These configuration options include:
Pre-programmed auto-dial telephone numbers
Call termination method (automatic or manual)
Maximum call duration
Answering options
Values for these functions are initially programmed during factory testing. These settings can be changed
remotely from a touch-tone telephone, manually (with an integral or portable keypad), or via TMA.
Telephone Management Application (TMA)
GAI-Tronics’ TMA software is a maintenance data collection and reporting tool that allows users to view
and report the health of the SMART Telephones. SMART Telephones can function with or without the
TMA software application installed. The decision to use TMA can be made at any time and is not needed
for telephone operation. Installation of TMA is not required until system monitoring is desired.
When used with TMA, each telephone will typically be polled to determine the health of the unit and
report the following:
Stuck push buttons
Cut handset cord
Microprocessor health
Line interrupt (power)
The basic TMA package (Model 12509-037) includes a single line transceiver for polling a single
telephone at a time. With each telephone requiring approximately 90 seconds to relay its health status to
TMA, the ability to poll multiple telephones simultaneously may become very important in larger
systems. A TMA expansion kit (Model 12509-036) is available and is required for each additional
connected telephone line, with a maximum of eight lines allowed. This allows a maximum of eight
telephones to be polled simultaneously. A dedicated PC is strongly recommended for TMA operation.

SMART
AUTO-DIAL HANDSET TELEPHONES PAGE 3 of 31
A dedicated telephone line per SMART Telephone is required when using TMA in its typical “polling”
operation. Although it is not recommended, SMART Telephones can share a telephone line with the
understanding that if two or more telephones are put into use simultaneously, the line current could drop
sufficiently to disconnect the telephone call completely. This will depend on the line current, the length
of the cable run, and the condition of the telephone cable. When sharing a telephone line using TMA, the
telephone must be scheduled to “call-in” instead of being polled by TMA.
TMA users can schedule auto-dial maintenance calls to alert maintenance personnel of any unusual sensor
or fault conditions that exist. SMART Telephones can also be programmed to generate an auto-dial
maintenance call when certain sensor events are discovered. Access to the SMART Telephone settings is
restricted through the use of the maintenance access PIN, which should be disclosed only to trained
maintenance personnel.
Existing TMA Application (pre-version 7.4.1 software)
We strongly recommend any existing operating TMA system be upgraded to 7.4.1 (or greater). Although
the -005 series SMART telephones will function with pre-version 7.4.1 TMA software, upgrading to 7.4.1
will allow users to take advantage of any new SMART and TMA features. Version 7.4.1 is backward
compatible with the -003 series SMART telephones so there will be no interruption in the reporting
operation. Refer to the TMA User Guide, no. 42004-440, for specific programming instructions. This
manual can be found on our website at www.gai-tronics.com.
TMA Upgrade (free)
GAI-Tronics offers a free upgrade to customers currently utilizing a TMA system that is operating from a
pre 7.4.1 version. To take advantage of this free upgrade, please visit our website at www.gaitronics.com:

Standard Operation
Volume Control Button
The volume control button on the front panel of each telephone is used to control the handset receiver
volume. The handset volume is pre-set/pre-programmed into each telephone to provide an initial handset
volume when the handset is removed from its cradle. Each press of the button will increase the volume in
5-dB increments until the maximum volume is attained. When the volume has reached maximum,
another button press will drop the volume to its minimum level. This is considered to be a “round robin”
method of volume control. The telephone will return to its pre-programmed volume setting when the
handset is returned to its cradle.
Receiving a Call
When the telephone rings:
1. Lift the handset.
2. Converse with the caller.
3. When finished, hang up the handset.
Placing a Call
To place a call:
1. Lift the handset.
2. The telephone automatically dials a pre-programmed number.
3. Converse with the person answering the call.
4. When finished, hang up the handset.
Disconnecting a Call
There are several methods by which a SMART Telephone’s call can be disconnected. The disconnect
methods include the following:
Remote disconnect of a call – Called party transmits either a “##” or “*99” DTMF control
command.
Automatic disconnect:
- All calls; loop current-drop disconnect
- All calls; maximum call duration timeout (configurable from 1 minute to 4.5 hours)
- All voice calls; call progress tones (i.e., busy signal/fast busy, or reorder, tone) and, when enabled,
dial tone.
Refer to the “Programming” section on page 24 and to the TMA User Guide for factory defaults and
available options.

Installation
ATTENTION
Installation should be performed by qualified personnel and only in
accordance with the National Electrical Code or applicable local codes.
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.
Electrostatic 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 use long and coiled ground wires. Trim ground wires to the required
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 telephone installed where the telephone or telephone
cable is at risk of being exposed to lightning strikes. The lightning arrestor must be installed as close
as possible to maximize the protection. It must not be installed within the enclosure supplied with the
telephone. 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
As previously noted, the preferred system configuration is a dedicated telephone line for each -005
SMART Telephone. This is an actual requirement when using TMA in its typical “polling” operation.
Although it is not recommended, it is recognized that certain system operations and interconnecting
wiring require that multiple telephones share a single line. This is permissible with the understanding that
if two or more telephones sharing the same line are put into use simultaneously, the line current could
drop sufficiently to disconnect the call completely. Additional “line sharing” or “party line”
configuration issues could include sporadic telephone operation, difficulties with programming, or
premature disconnection of calls. A GAI-Tronics Model 12600-xxx Line Current Booster assembly may
be a viable solution for improving the effects of low line current.
If line sharing is required, it is strongly recommended that all telephones on the line are the -005 SMART
Telephone series. The maximum number of telephones on the line depends on operating and idle line
current and the amount of time a SMART Telephone remains off hook. In this installation, each -005
SMART series telephone must be reconfigured to prevent auto answer and must be programmed to “callin” to TMA for data collection (if TMA is being utilized).
Due to difference in circuit operation, sharing a telephone line between a -005 series SMART Telephone
and a -003 series SMART Telephone is specifically not recommended. There can be many line and
operational conditions in play that could make this type of installation a “hit or miss” proposition.

High Noise Area Installation
Installing a SMART Telephone in a high noise area may require the use of an external audible or visual
device for ringing notification. Utilizing one of these devices differs from an installation utilizing a
standard analog telephone. Typical analog telephones utilize the telephone line ring voltage (90 V ac) to
activate the ringer in the telephone. Typical installation of a peripheral ring notification device for a
standard analog telephone would include connecting a ring relay across the telephone line and using it to
activate the notification device.
Each SMART Telephone, however, is factory programmed for auto answer. In this mode, the SMART
Telephone utilizes the telephone line ring voltage for only a fraction of a second to auto answer and
activate its own internal circuitry. The SMART Telephone then creates its own ringing audible signal, no
longer requiring the line ring voltage. If an external device is required for ringing notification in a
SMART Telephone installation, it should be connected to one of the SMART Telephone’s two external
outputs. One of these outputs can be programmed to “follow the ringer” and provide opening and closing
with a standard ring cycle. This eliminates the need for a ring relay and allows a standard bell or
strobe/light to be used for notification. (An interposing relay may be required depending on the device’s
current requirement.)
OTE: If multiple -005 SMART series telephones are connected to a single line and are configured not
N
to auto answer, a standard analog telephone application now exists. This means that an external ringing
notification would require the installation of a ring relay device as previously mentioned for typical
analog telephone operation. Refer to the “Auto-answer Configuration” section on page 19 for details on
disabling the auto-answer function.

Security Hardware
Models 227-005 and 277-005 are vandal-resistant, with the front panel for each telephone attached to its
enclosure with security screws. A GAI-Tronics Model 233-001 Security Screwdriver or Torx T-25
security head tip (sold separately) is recommended for installing the security screws. Model 247-005 and
257-005 Telephones’ front panels are attached with standard Phillips head screws.
Conduit Installation Details (Applicable to Models 247-005 and 257-005)
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.
If entered from the top, the conduit must
be internally sealed to prevent moisture ingress.
Sealed fittings should be installed at all cable entry points.
Silicone sealant or equivalent should be applied around and inside all conduit entries.
Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2.
