General Information

Product Overview

The Driller’s Intercom is a communications system designed to serve the needs of oil and gas industry on oil drilling platforms, especially in hazardous areas. It provides all-call, group call, and point to point communications, and is available in digital and analog versions.
The enclosure is rated NEMA-4X, and is factory sealed to ensure explosion-proof integrity.

System Requirements and Limitations

Each Driller’s Intercom system requires a Central Switch to operate. The Central Switch must be located in a non-hazardous area. The configuration parameters for all components of the system are set in the Central configuration.
Each central switch can manage up to 16 digital or analog subscribers, and can be expanded to 32 subscribers. Central switches can be linked or a larger switch can be used for increased system size. By combining central switches, the system is easily expanded at any time.
All stations must be connected in a star configuration to the Central Switch, but power to the stations can be daisy-chained. Please refer to the “Installation” section for the power cable and system cable distance limitations.
Additional features and functions (not detailed in this manual) are available. Refer to the Central Switch manual or contact a GAI-Tronics Corporation representative for more details.

Description of Major Components

The Driller’s Intercom stations consist of a factory-sealed enclosure (top) and a termination enclosure (bottom). Refer to Figure 1 for details. The factory-sealed configuration eliminates the need for external seals on this unit; however, additional seals may be required on auxiliary devices.
The audio, control, and power components for this assembly are contained in the factory-sealed enclosure. The front panel of the factory-sealed enclosure contains the user interface components (microphone, status LED, and keypad [digital models only]).
All system terminations (power, speaker, system, footswitch, and beacon) are to be made in the termination enclosure.
This station requires an external speaker (sold separately) to operate. Also, a customer-supplied beacon (digital models only) and footswitch can be added to this unit for visual status indication and talk/listen control.

Installation

General Information

WARNING
Always remove power to this station and any associated equipment before
beginning any installation.
Install equipment without modification and according to all applicable local and national electrical codes. Consult the National Electrical Code (NFPA 70), Canadian Standards Association (CSA 22.1), and local codes for specific requirements regarding your installation. Class 2 circuit wiring must be performed in accordance with NEC 725.55.
CAUTION
The factory-sealed section of this station is only to be opened for maintenance or repair by factory authorized personnel. Refer to the “Maintenance” section for more details.
WARNING
After installing station and before applying power, verify that the bolts on the factory-sealed section of the station are set at 30 ft-lbs.
This station has a highly sensitive microphone that allows the user to communicate at a distance from the station. This station also contains a high gain amplifier that enables operation in high noise environments.
To prevent feedback problems in the system, the ambient noise levels, volume settings, and station placement must be taken into consideration. In most cases, stations can be mounted perpendicular to the same surface and be placed 150 feet apart. This minimum spacing requirement between stations can be reduced under the following conditions:
Stations are installed in a high noise environment; Stations are configured for simplex mode (depressing T button); Stations contain speaker L-pads; Stations are placed in separate rooms.

Mounting

The station consists of two enclosures that are connected by a union. The mounting location must be a flat, vertical surface that provides proper clearance, rigidity and strength to support the station.
The suggested mounting height for stations is 54 inches (137 cm) up to the center of the factory-sealed enclosure.
To maintain the explosion-proof integrity of these stations, they are designed with all mounting hardware located outside the enclosures. Refer to Figure 3 for mounting hole and slot dimensions.
Securely fasten the factory-sealed and termination enclosures to the mounting location using steel mounting bolts and washers, or washer-head bolts (hardware not included).

Conduit Installation

Install the conduit using an approved electrical conducting-type lubricant on the threads. The termination enclosure on the station has one conduit entry on each side and two on the bottom of the enclosure.
The UL-approved Driller’s Intercom models contain ¾-inch NPT conduit entries. The bottom entries are plugged from the factory and can be removed to allow use of the entry. Refer to Figure 2 for locations. All unused conduit openings must be plugged using a close-up plug approved for the specific hazardous location where the enclosure is used. All conduit connections must meet minimum thread engagements as specified by the applicable electrical codes.

Power

A separate power feed is recommended for stations in Div. 1 areas so that the stations can be de-energized for maintenance without disrupting the power supply to the other equipment in the Div. 1 area. Refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 for wiring details. Remove the termination enclosure cover and pull all wiring into the termination enclosure. Terminal block TB2 is provided for connection of power to the station. Terminate all conductor ends using #6-32 screws lugs.

AC Models

Terminate the 120-240 V ac 50/60 Hz feed on TB2. This terminal block can also be used to connect 120­240 V ac 50/60 Hz to the next station. The maximum current of the ac feed shall not exceed 20 amperes. Refer to Figure 5 for more details.

DC Models

Refer to Figure 4. Terminate the 24 V dc feed on TB2. This terminal block can also be used to connect 24 V dc to the next station. The maximum current of the dc feed shall not exceed 20 amperes. Power must be supplied by an isolated 24 V dc power source. Additional power feeds may be required to increase the system distance and/or the number of stations.
N
OTE: Isolated dc power sources must be used for this installation. The 24 V dc source should be
located as close to the system center as possible.
Grounding the negative side of the power source at one point is recommended to ensure hum and noise­free operation. Noise present on dc power lines can negatively affect station operation. Therefore, noise should be limited to 10 mV or less.
When installing this equipment, the power cable length is an important consideration. Refer to Table 1 for the recommended wire sizing details and the maximum cable lengths. This table is a guideline that is useful in most applications; however, the installer must take into consideration any parameters specific to their application.
