Installation Guidelines

• GAI-Tronics’ Emergency Telephones are not designed to be installed in parallel or to be “party-

lined.” Any such installation can cause programming difficulties, premature disconnection of calls,
or stations that may not respond when activated. GAI-Tronics highly recommends that one telephone
line (PBX extension or CO line) be allocated for each unit.

• GAI-Tronics highly recommends that a telephone line surge suppressor be installed to guard against

lightning strikes.

• Sealed fittings should be installed at all cable entry points to prevent liquids from entering the unit.
