Safe Handling of CMOS Integrated Circuit Devices
Many of the integrated circuit devices used in communications equipment are of the Complementary
Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) type. Because of their high open circuit impedance, CMOS
integrated circuits are vulnerable to damage from static charges. Care must be taken handling, shipping,
and servicing them and the assemblies in which they are used.
Even though protection devices are provided in CMOS integrated circuit inputs, the protection is
effective only against overvoltage in the hundreds of volts range such as is encountered in an operating
system. In a system, circuit elements distribute static charges and load the CMOS circuits, decreasing the
chance of damage. However, CMOS circuits can be damaged by improper handling of the modules, even
in a system.
To avoid damage to circuits, observe the following handling, shipping, and servicing precautions:
1. Prior to and while servicing a circuit module, particularly after moving within the service area,
momentarily touch both hands to a bare metal, earth-grounded surface. This will discharge any static
charge that may have accumulated on the person doing the servicing.
N
OTE: Wearing a conductive wrist strap will minimize static build-up during servicing.
2. Whenever possible, avoid touching any electrically conductive parts of the circuit module with your
hands.
3. Power down the unit before installing or removing the circuit module.
4. When servicing a circuit module, avoid carpeted areas, dry environments, and certain types of
clothing (silk, nylon, etc.) because they contribute to static build-up. Similarly, disconnect the test
probe prior to removing the ground lead.
5. All electrically powered test equipment should be grounded. Apply the ground lead from the test
equipment to the circuit module before connecting the test probe.
6. If a circuit module is removed from the system, it is desirable to lay it on a conductive surface (such
as a sheet of aluminum foil) which is connected to ground through 100 k of resistance.
7. When soldering, be sure the soldering iron is grounded and has a grounded tip.
8. Prior to connecting jumpers, replacing circuit components, or touching CMOS pins (if this becomes
necessary in the replacement of an integrated circuit device), be sure to discharge any static build-up
as described in procedure 1. Since voltage differences can exist across the human body, it is
recommended that only one hand be used if it is necessary to touch pins on the CMOS device and
associated board wiring.
9. When replacing a CMOS integrated circuit device, leave the device in its conductive rail container or
conductive foam until it is to be inserted into the printed circuit module.
10. All low impedance test equipment (such as pulse generators, etc.) should be connected to CMOS
device inputs after power is applied to the CMOS circuitry. Similarly, such low impedance
equipment should be disconnected before power is turned off.
11. Replacement modules shipped separately from the factory will be packaged in a conductive material.
Any modules being transported from one area to another should be wrapped in a similar material
(aluminum foil may be used). Never use non-conductive material for packaging these modules.

Model CB193-xxx, CB194-xxx, and CB195-xxx RF Call Boxes Page
14 of 52
Introduction
The GAI-Tronics RF Call Boxes are designed for isolated areas requiring voice communication
equipment, using wireless RF technology to provide half-duplex communication. These units are ideal
for areas where underground or overhead cabling is undesirable or not available. The simple push-totalk, release-to-listen operation provides user-friendly functionality, and these designs are extremely
resistant to vandalism.

Figure 1. Model CB193-xxx, CB194-xxx, and CB195-xxx Outline Drawing
The Model CB193-xxx Push-Button RF Call Box (yellow) and CB194-xxx Handset RF Call Box (gray)
enclosures are constructed of durable Valox
®
material, and have a weatherproof rating of NEMA 3R
when installed according to directions. The CB193-xxx and CB194-xxx RF Call Boxes can be wallmounted or mounted to a pole measuring 1 to 4 inches in diameter using the Model 230-001 or the Model
231-001 Pole Mounting Kit.
The Model CB195-xxx Flush-Mount RF Call Box is equipped with these same features, but is housed in
a brushed stainless steel flush-panel enclosure rated NEMA 3R that is designed for flush mounting. This
can be done within any wall cavity or by using the GAI-Tronics Model 234 Series stanchions.

Model CB193-xxx, CB194-xxx, and CB195-xxx RF Call Boxes Page

The Model CB193-xxx and Model CB195-xxx include a push-to-talk (PTT) button, an LED status
indicator lamp, an integral speaker and a microphone. The Model CB194-xxx includes a handset with
noise-canceling microphone and an integral PTT pressbar and features a magnetic proximity hookswitch
for handset sensing.
The status lamp indicates the transmit/receive (talk/listen) status of the call box and provides indication
when the channel is busy (wait - flashing red), or if a low battery power condition exists (flashing amber
every 8 seconds).
All RF Call Box models can be programmed for call box-to-radio, call box-to-call box, or call box-totelephone line operation via the CARD Suite Software application. All modes of operation require a
receiving radio to complete the system (handheld, mobile, or base station). For call box-to-telephone line
operation, a GAI-Tronics PL1877A (MRTI 2000) Telephone Interconnect is additionally required to
interface the receiving radio’s signal to the telephone line via a host radio. The call box-to-call box mode
of operation can provide a common communication link (all units commonly broadcast received audio
transmission) between call boxes. In this configuration, all RF Call Boxes must be programmed for
“Standby Forever” operation and will require a constant external power source.
These units are programmed using the CARD Suite Software application, which is included on the
XAC4000A Programming Bundle CD. Each unit can be bench-programmed prior to installation, thus
limiting field installation time. The Model 19101-024 Programming Kit is additionally required for
programming the frequency and PL code into the integral radio transceiver (-001 and -002 models only).
The optional Model SPK100 Solar Panel Kit, Model GTRFP7784-108/SPK200 Solar Panel Array and
Interface Kit, and the 190-002PS Power Supply Kit are available for use with all models. See the “Field
Installed Optional Accessories” section on page 19 and Model 190-002PS installation instructions on
page 20 for additional information.
All Models CB19x-001 and CB19x-002 are provided with a factory-installed, integral RF transceiver.
These units are ready for programming and system activation without the need for additional circuitry.
The Model CB19x-003 is provided without RF circuitry. These units will require the installation of a
customer-provided Kenwood TK-3170 Series Portable Radio and Model 190-3170K Adapter Kit prior to
system activation.
