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. Please consult Distributor Sales at 800-838-9313 if further information is required.
• Sealed fittings should be installed at all cable entry points to prevent liquids from entering the unit.

Mount Enclosure.
