Titan CB, Commander CB 3

1. Safety and Care Information

▲

The safety of the user/installer relies on the isolation of the telephone
network and not on the earthing of the case

▲

The spring-loaded door (Titan models only, where fitted) can close
sharply. Take care not to trap fingers etc., during installation and use.

▲

Please read these instructions thoroughly before starting installation.
These products must be installed by competent p ersonnel familiar with
telephone installation.

▲

Telephone network voltages can be hazardous. Take adequate
precautions when opening the case or installing. If in doubt, disconnect
the telephone line elsewhere before accessing the line connections.

▲

For increased protection against lightning transients, attach a local
earth to the main term inal block (see section 6)

2. Product Description

This manual describes the CB versions of the Titan and Commander
telephone ranges. The term “CB” originally stood for “central battery”, but in
modern terms means a telephone with no dialling or signalling capability – it
can only seize the line or ring. Although functionally and electrically identical,
(i.e. the operation and connection details are common), Titan and
Commander differ physically, so the installation and mounting details are
described separately.

2.1. Changes from previous versions

This manual describes an updated range of products (called ‘1064’ models)
introduced in March 2005. For those familiar with GAI-Tronics’ products, the
list of new or changed features is as follows:

• New terminal layout (section 6.1).

• Increased lightning protection (section 8).

• Handset integrity alert option (section 3.2).

• No separate Cap-Shunt link (ringing is permanently enabled).

• Compliance with ETSI European telephony standards (previous versions

were to British standards) section 8.

• Compliance with railway EMC standards (section 8)

• Second hookswitch option (section 6.2)

For the full list of product features, please see the specifications in section 8.

2.2. Titan features

Titan is a family of rugged, weather-resistant metal-bodied telephones
available with a range of handset types, keypad configurations, colours and
enclosures, based around a common faceplate style.

Most Titans are equipped with a heavy-duty spring-loaded door, but models
are available without door and also as faceplate only, for flush mounting.

Titan doors may be fitted with slamlocks opened by an 8mm square socket
key.

2.3. Commander features

Commander is a family of rugged, weather-resistant telephones manufactured
from moulded glass-reinforced polyester. A range of handset types and
keypad configurations are available.

3. Operation / Testing

The CB telephone has no buttons and no means of dialling or signalling.

It can only be used to make calls where calls are routed by the exchange, for
example the BT Direct Connect service or PABXs or concentrators specifically
configured to do so. Seek assistance from your telephone service provider or
infrastructure maintainer to configure this facility.

To make a call, lift the handset. The exchange should establish the call.
When the other party answers, two way speech is possible.

To end the call, replace the handset on its cradle.

To answer a call, wait for ringing (a loud, two-tone warble), then lift the
handset. Two way speech should be possible as before, and the call is ended
by replacing the handset.

3.1. Call timer

The phone has a selectable call timer that can limit the maximum call duration
to approximately 7 minutes.

When on, the timer forces the phone back off line after the preset time. This
prevents the line remaining tied if the handset is left off-hook. The timer is
factory-set to OFF by default.

3.2. Handset integrity alert

If configured, this feature will disable the call timer if the handset integrity loop
is broken. This means that, if the handset is detached (for example by
vandalism), the telephone will remain permanently on line even if the call timer
is on.

This provides a method of alerting the signal box or control centre that the
handset is damaged and needs urgent attention.

WARNING: this option should only be used on PABXs or concentrators
configured to expect the alert condition. Not for use on the PSTN.

This is a factory-configured option. Telephones with this option have an
internal label marked “Handset Integrity Alert, the call timer is disabled if the
handset integrity loop is broken”.

4. Installation

4.1. General
IMPORTANT

All possible measures m ust be taken to ensure water, fluid or dust
does not contaminate the internal components of the telephone whilst
unpacking, preparing and installing the telephone in inclement weather
conditions or by negligence.

Failure to do so may invalidate your w arr anty.

These telephones are supplied without connection leads – cabling to the
telephone network must be supplied and installed by the installer. Because of
this, extra precautions must be observed: installers must ensure that they
have the permission of the owner of the PABX or telephone network to which
the telephone is to be connected, and that installation is carried out by trained
personnel. Contact GAI-Tronics if installation service is required.

IMPORTANT

Installation details differ between the TITAN and COMMANDER product
ranges –please make sure you know which product you are installing
and refer to the appropriate sections below.

4.2. Emergency Services warning

These telephones are not capable of dialling, and therefore cannot
make direct calls to the emergency services unless the exchange is
configured to do so. Check with your telephone service provider or
infrastructure maintainer whether it is necessary to warn users that
emergency calls cannot be made from this telephone, and if so provide
a suitable warning notice. A warning label, which can be fixed to the
front of the telephone, is provided.

4.3. Titan

1. To prepare for installation, open the door (where fitted), then undo the
four retaining screws to remove the faceplate from the rear enclosure. A
3mm Allen key is required. Do not remove the plastic cover on the back
of the faceplate.

Caution – take care to support the spring-loaded door whilst open
to prevent it slamming shut and trapping fingers.

2. All connections and option settings are on the rear of the faceplate
towards the lower edge.
