General Information

The Model 234WM Wall-Mount Stanchion Assembly is part of a completely integrated emergency

communications station and is designed to house a GAI-Tronics 39x or 27x Series Flush-Mount

Telephone and a Model 530-001or 531A Strobe (each sold separately). The stanchion is a simple,
attractive, yet highly visible unit measuring 40.5 inches (1.03 meters) tall.

GAI-Tronics enhanced emergency telephones are designed for isolated high-risk areas requiring
emergency communications equipment. Emergency telephone users simply press the clearly labeled
emergency push button for immediate connection to a user-programmed central security telephone
number.

The strobe creates added visibility to emergency telephone locations by providing a constant-on lamp that
automatically flashes when the emergency button is pressed. The telephone is also highly visible; a light
mounted in the stanchion shines on the front of the telephone to illuminate the telephone for nighttime
use.

The Model 234WM Wall-Mount Stanchion Assembly consists of the Model 84505-202 Wall-Mount

Stanchion and the Model 84503-30x Panel Light Assembly (each packaged separately). The 530 Series

Strobe and the emergency telephone are purchased and packaged separately.

The following sections provide information on the installation of the complete wall-mount stanchion.
