General Information
This manual applies to the GAI-Tronics 732-101 Single-Party Weatherproof Aluminum 115 V AC
Amplifier Enclosure, which is an important component of the 700 series Page/Party
enclosure is configu red for s ingle- par ty syst ems.

system. This
The 732-101 Enclosure is made of cast aluminum alloy, which is extremely weatherproof and corrosionresistant. It is equipped with terminal strips f or connecting system ca ble. The 701 and 751 series
Amplifiers mate directly with this enclosure.
Installation
CAUTION
the approval list ing in the S pe c ification section of this manual. Such installation may cause a safety
hazard and consequent injury or property damage.
When installing an a dd- on sta tion, cons ult the s ys tem layout diagram at t he end of this manual. This
figure, when used in conju nc tion with the s tat ion installation information and cable layout guide, shou ld
provide all the informa tion necessa ry to install additional Page/Party< stations .
Enclos ure Placement
All GAI-Tronics Page/Party® units are wir ed in p arallel. Good system layout design minimizes the cable
required for eac h installation. GAI-Tronics mult i- c onductor cabl e, des i gned esp eci ally for this ap plicat ion,
is recommended. The number, size, and color-c oding of c onductors are listed in t he accompa nying system
connection diagra m.
System layout and power c able length are very importa nt when installing Pa ge/ Party< equipment.
Although it varies f or differ ent syst ems, the genera l guideline is that the tot al power cable length should not
exceed one mile (5280 feet) for 115 V ac systems. The total cable length is the most important
consideration while cable length bet ween the stat ions is genera lly not a factor.
Do not install this equipment in hazardous areas other than those indicated on

Mounting
The 732-101 Single-Party Weatherproof Aluminum Enclosure is supplied with pre-drilled cable openings
and condu it hubs with top and bottom cap p l ugs in place to prevent contamination.
For specific details inclu ding mounting hole dimensions, refer to Figure 1 . When mounting t he enclos ure,
use caution to avoid da ma ging the termina l blocks insi de. The su gges ted mounting height for all s tat ion
enclosures is 54 inches (137 cm) up to the centerline of the enclosure.

Wiring
Attach the condu it to the enclos ure. Feed the wiring t hrough the conduit and bring it into the enclosu re.
See Figu re 2. Follow the wire colors carefu lly because the colors correspond t o G AI - Tronic s 60038 Series
cab le. The wir es mu st be spade-lugged and connected carefully and completely to the termina l block. An
improper termina tion may res ult in diminished station p erformanc e.
Local Muting
Figure 2 illus tra tes local speaker muting when sta tions a re completely as sembled and pa ging operation
occurs. Normally, when the station button is pressed, the paging speaker connect ed t o that station is
silenced (muted) to pr event acous tic feedba c k to the hands et microphone. However, while the handset is in
use for party line conver sations, the p aging speaker is “live” to enab le p aging calls from other stations.
To d i sable th e mute feature, fol l o w these i n struc tions:
1. Locate the lugged violet wire attached to terminal point 7 (mute) on the terminal block within the
enclosure.
2. Transf er the lugged violet wir e to terminal p oint 8 (P age L1).
After any muting changes are made, unpack t he s tat ion amplifier and install.
Mutual Muting
In the event that feedback occu rs wit hin an area a nd repositioning of the system spea kers does not help ,
mutual muting may be used to correct this problem.
The following steps mutually mutes adjacent amplifiers /handset s within a z one.
1. Ensure tha t the purple lugged wire is connected t o terminal 7 of TB1.
2. Connect terminal TB1-7 of the handset st ation t o TB1-7 of the stat ion within the zone that is causing
feedback. This is done by using the spare system wire (orange conduc tor) f rom within the system
ca ble th at run s between th e statio n s.

Maintenance
Regula r inspection and a good preventive ma intenance progra m will increase the reliability of your
GAI-Tronics station. The GAI-T ronics F i eld Service Department c an formul ate a service contract suited
to your facility’s s p ecific need for preventive maintenanc e.
®
In addition, the f ollowing p rocedure can be u sed to keep Page/Party
systems o perating eff ectivel y .
WARNING
Before performing any of the following preventive maintenance steps, remove
all power from the station.
1. Remove the amplifi er from th e en closure.
2. Visually check the interior of the enclosure for s i gns of contamination s uch as dust , condensa tion or
process liquid.
3. Using the No. 10440-002 Maintenance Cable, plug the amplifier into the connector in the enclosure.
Check, and if necessary, adjus t the amplif ier to maximize performa nc e.
4. Reinstall the amplif ier in the enclosure. Ensure that all gaskets and hardware are in place. Failure t o
install the gas kets, which also act a s spacers, can result in damage to t he connectors on the amplifier s
and insi de t he enclosures and can cau se syst em faults.
It may become necessary to re-terminate some or all of the enclosures in a system. If so, strip the wires
bac k to clean c opper and connect only one wire to each c onnector t o allow for easier futu re
troubleshooting.
Troubleshooti ng
The following t able list s some hints t o aid technicians in t roubles hooting.
Problem Solution
Feedback occurs
only duri ng
page.
1. If a speaker is close to the sta tion, try using the muting featur e in t he amplifier
enclosure at the termina l blocks. Connect t he violet wire at TB1- 8 to TB1-7.
Refer to the wiring diagram.
2. Ensu re that speakers attached to ot her stations loc ated nearby a re not pointed in
your direction. If changing the orient ation of the other s peakers has no effect,
mutual muting may b e required. Mutu al muting s ilences all the sp eakers within
proximity to the affected s tat ions duri ng a pa ge from any one of the mutually
muted st ations .
Connect the orange wire (spare) to the TB1-7 of all the st ations to be mutu ally
muted. N
OTE: If too many stations are selected, paging cover age can b e
adver sely affec ted.
3. Check line ter mina tions at the line balance as sembly. Line balance a ssembly
connections are critical.
Crosstalk
occurs.
One or more system ca ble pairs ma y be improperly terminated . Vis ual l y i n spec t the
system cable connect ions for accidental cr ossing of the cable p airs or gr ounds.
