8 Titan GSM
4. Installation
4.1. Prior to Installation
Please ensure the following steps are taken prior to installation:
•
Survey the site to ensure there is adequate GSM signal coverage
on the selected network.
•
SIM card : Obtain a suitable, unlocked SIM card for the network
concerned – IMPORTANT: Ensure that the SIM is activated and not
locked. If the SIM is locked there may not be a way of unlocking it
from the Titan and the telephone will not function. It is also
recommended to disable voicemail on the SIM.
•
Power source . Ensure the chosen power source (for example solar
panel, 230V mains outlet, etc.) is available.
•
Antenna location . Titan GSM is a metal-bodied telephone and
therefore the antenna needs to be mounted externally to the
telephone. Titan GSM is normally supplied with a rugged antenna
fitted with a 3m cable. Please ensure that there is a suitable
mounting location for the antenna and that suitable protection for the
cable is provided, for example conduit or trunking, from the antenna
to the telephone.
4.2. Important Notes for Installers
•
Qualified personnel only
Titan GSM telephones are supplied with one of several different
power supply options which may require connection of the power
supply to an AC mains outlet. The installation must only be carried
out by appropriately qualified and trained personnel. Contact GAI-
Tronics if installation service is required.
•
DC power adapter
The DC power adapter supplied as standard with the Titan GSM
telephone is for in-building use only. Where the Titan GSM telephone
is installed outside, the DC power adapter must be either installed in-
building or correctly installed within an IP65 enclosure if located
outside (enclosure not supplied). Route the power adapter DC output
to the Titan GSM telephone using suitable cabling.
•
Test tools required
During the testing and commissioning of the Titan GSM telephone,
the use of another mobile phone will be required in order to send
status and configuration commands via SMS text messages.
Alternatively, a laptop computer can be used connected to the
internal USB port, see Appendices.
