Installation
Installation Guidelines
These enclosures must be installed by trained, qualified, and competent personnel. Installation must
comply with state and national regulations, as well as safety practices for this type of equipment.
CAUTION
—Do not install this equipment in hazardous areas other than those indicated on
the approval listing in the Approvals section of this manual. Such installation
may cause a safety hazard and consequent injury or property damage.
The mounting location must be flat and provide proper clearance, rigidity, and strength to support the
enclosure and all contained devices.
WARNING
—Securely fasten the enclosure to the mounting location using 3/8-inch diameter
steel mounting bolts and washers, or washer head bolts.
WARNING
—
Do not disconnect equipment while energized.
Insure proper grounding to protective earthing.
WARNING
—The front cover is not hinged to the rear enclosure. Adequately support the
cover when removing the cover bolts.
ATTENTION
—Installation must be performed by qualified personnel and only in accordance
with the National Electrical Code or applicable local codes.
Inspect and clean the machined flange flame joint surfaces of both the cover and box. Surfaces must be
smooth, free of nicks, scratches, dirt, or any foreign particle build-up that will prevent a proper seal.
Surfaces must seat fully against each other to provide a proper explosion-proof joint. Clean surfaces by
wiping with a clean lint-free cloth.
Apply a light coat of Killark LUBG lubricant to flange surfaces and close the cover. Install and tighten
all cover bolts to 30 ft·lb. Do not omit any cover bolts. Use only the bolts supplied with the enclosure.
Please adhere to the following guidelines when installing GAI-Tronics’ telephone equipment to ensure
the safety of all personnel:
•
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Protection:
The telephone has an earth ground terminal provision.
Ensure that it is connected to ground in accordance with all local safety regulations and the National
Electrical Code (NEC). Grounding must be ensured for safe and stable communication. Do not use
long and coiled ground wires. Trim ground wires to the required length. Please note proper
grounding does not eliminate the need for lightning protection for the telephone or the telephone
system.
•
NEVER install a telephone during a lightning storm.
•
Install a Cat5 data line lightning surge protector
on all telephones installed where the phone or
phone cable is at risk of exposure to lightning strikes. The lightning arrestor must be installed as
close to the phone as possible in a non-hazardous environment. Do not install the lightning arrestor
inside the telephone enclosure.
•
USE CAUTION when installing or modifying Category 5 data lines.
