Important Safety Instructions
This equipment is suitable for use in Zone 2/22 hazardous areas OR non-hazardous locations only.
Combinations of equipment in your system are subject to investigation by the local Authority Having
Jurisdiction at the time of installation.
Read, follow, and retain instructions – All safety and operating instructions should be read and followed
before operating the unit. Retain instructions for future reference.
Heed warnings – Adhere to all warnings on the unit and in the operating instructions.
Attachments – Attachments not recommended by the product manufacturer should not be used, as they
may cause hazards. Maximum system cable length is not to exceed two miles.
Servicing – Do not attempt to service this unit by yourself. Opening or removing covers may expose you
to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
WARNING – POTENTIAL ELECTROSTATIC CHARGING HAZARD – Model 10401-201 Headset
and 10416-103 Extension Cord should be used in Group IIB or Group IIA areas only.
Capacitance values of 140 pF to 580 pF were measured on the external metallic unearthed components of
this equipment. As such, special care must be taken in installation location and environment to address
this hazard. See EN TR50404, “Electrostatics – Code of practice for avoidance of hazards due to static
electricity” for additional information in regards to proper installation and potential hazards.
WARNING – EXPLOSION HAZARD – Do not disconnect equipment unless power has been removed
or the area is known to be non-hazardous. Avertissement – Risque d’explosion – Avant de débrancher
l'équipement, couper le courant ou assurer que le secteur est su pour n’être pas hasardeux.
WARNING
In 24 V dc systems: Under NO condition should this equipment be operated
from a battery charger without the batteries connected.
In 24 V dc systems, most chargers have an unloaded output of 35 to 45 volts that can quickly damage the
equipment designed for nominal 24 volts. The maximum battery voltage should never exceed the
maximum specified input voltage.

Mounting the Enclosure
Mount the enclosure using the four 0.31-inch (8
mm) diameter holes located on the mounting
flanges with 5/16-inch (M6) hardware. The ICS

with conduit or cable openings.
The station can be supplied either with or without
a stainless steel gland plate, located on the bottom
of the rear enclosure.
If there is no gland plate on the enclosure, remove
the front panel and drill or punch entry openings in
the rear section of the enclosure. Refer to Figure 2
for the suggested locations. There must be a
minimum of ½ inch (13 mm) of material between
entry holes.
If the station includes a gland plate, it can be
removed from the bottom of the rear enclosure for
ease of adding entry holes. Upon reinstalling the
gland plate, torque the #6-32 nuts to 10–12 in-lbs.
(1.13–1.36 n-m).
®
Station is not supplied
Pub. 42004-734L2D
The recommended entry is via the enclosure
bottom to prevent moisture from dripping onto the
terminals. Top entry is not recommended.
For specific details including mounting hole
dimensions, refer to Figure 2. When mounting the
enclosure, use caution to avoid damaging the
internal components.
The suggested mounting height for all station
enclosures is 48 inches (1219 mm) to the center of
the bottom mounting holes of the enclosure.
Cable Entries
Ensure any unused openings are sealed with
proper fittings per local standards. All metric
cable entry devices and blanking elements shall be
certified for Zone 2/22 applications with an IP66
rating, suitable for conditions of use and correctly
installed. Use field wiring suitable for the ambient
temperature.

Field Wiring
NOTE: Use conductors with a temperature rating of a minimum of 10k above the ambient
temperature.
The Zone 2/22 ICS Page/Party
the system cable has two terminals for daisy-chain wiring. Attach #6 spade lugs to the wires before
attachment to the terminal blocks for the most secure connection. Torque the terminal block screws to 8–
10 in-lbs. (0.90–1.13 n-m) when attaching the spade lugs.
The terminal blocks on the Termination PCBA are labeled to coincide with the color code used on GAITronics 60029 Series multi-party cable or 60038 Series single party cable. Refer to Figure 3 for a sample
wiring diagram.
In certain circumstances where paging audio induces feedback, muting the speakers of two or more
stations during a page, referred to as mutual muting, can eliminate such feedback problems. This function
is enabled by connecting the spare orange wire between stations to terminal block TB4-2 or TB5-2.

After all wiring and cable connections have been completed, place the front cover on the rear enclosure,
being careful not to pinch any cables. Secure the front cover using the four screws and washers provided.
Torque the screws to 50 in-lbs. (5.65 n-m). N

Level Adjustments
Transmit Level
The Transmit Level potentiometer, R34, adjusts the signal level from the handset or optional auxiliary
headset microphone to the page or party lines.
Receiver Volume
The Receiver Volume potentiometer, R5, adjusts the signal level to the handset receiver from the page or
party lines. It does not adjust the signal level to the optional auxiliary headset.
Speaker Volume
The Speaker Volume potentiometer, R91, adjusts the signal level to the speaker from the page line. The
default setting is 4 watts for an 8-ohm speaker and 2 watts for a 16-ohm speaker.
Warning – Maximum output power may exceed rated speaker wattage resulting in speaker damage.
Attach the Front Panel
After all adjustments have been completed, place the front cover in the rear enclosure, being careful not to
pinch any cables. Secure the front cover using the four screws and washers provided. Torque the screws
to 50 in-lbs (5.65 n-m).
Operation
For paging and subsequent party line conversation, the station operator lifts the handset or connects the
optional headset, selects a free party line using the five-position rotary selector switch (if equipped), and
presses the handset pressbar or headset page switch. The station operator pages the desired individual and
designates the party line on which that individual should respond. The individual then responds by
approaching the nearest ICS Page/Party
handset or connecting a headset. Full-duplex communication can then be held on the party line without
broadcasting over the speakers. After the conversation is complete, all parties should place the handset
back on hook or disconnect the headset.

Options
The ICS Page/Party® Station options can be factory installed or field installed in some cases. The field
installable options include ICS SmartSeries, VLC, and RTU.
ICS SmartSeries
General
The 69552 SmartSeries PCBA adds microprocessor control to the ICS Page/Party® station, providing
additional sensor and monitoring capabilities. SmartSeries and VLC PCBAs cannot be installed in the
same station.
Features
When used with or without ADVANCE head-end equipment:
Ambient Level Sensing (ALS) circuitry automatically changes the local speaker’s paging volume in
response to varying background noise
Off-hook timeout prevents noise being introduced to a party line by electronically placing the handset
“on-hook” after 8 minutes
Page timeout limits a single page broadcast to two minutes, freeing the page line for emergencies
When used with ADVANCE head-end equipment:
Station monitoring of key components (including handset, amplifier and local speaker) provides fast
notification of any faults
Ability to accept supervised contact closure inputs and provide a supervised relay output (requires
RTU option)
