Installation
Important Safety Information
When installing any GAI-Tronics telephone equipment, please adhere to the following guidelines to
ensure the safety of all personnel:
•
NEVER install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
•
NEVER install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically designed for wet
locations.
•
NEVER touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been
disconnected at the network interface.
•
USE CAUTION when installing or modifying telephone lines.
•
Install a UL Listed telephone line suppressor (customer-supplied) on the telephone line.
•
Use silicone sealant or equivalent around and inside of all conduit entries
•
Install a Cat5 data line lightning surge protector
on any phone installed where the phone or phone
cable is at risk of being exposed to lightning strikes. The lightning arrestor must be installed as close
to the phone as possible in a non-hazardous environment. The lightning arrestor must not be installed
within the telephone enclosure.
•
USE CAUTION when installing or modifying Cat5 data lines.
GAI-Tronics recommends the following precautionary steps to protect the unit during installation:
•
Install this unit using appropriate Division 2 wiring methods.
•
Run the subscriber line inside conduit to ensure that the unit is vandal resistant.
•
Use the conduit entries located on the bottom of the enclosure to prevent any condensation forming
inside the conduit from dripping into the unit. Additionally, using bottom conduit entries makes
water less likely to enter the unit at the conduit connection points.
•
Use Teflon™ pipe joint tape or a thread sealing compound around the conduit threads to seal
threaded connections and prevent water from entering into the unit at the conduit location.
•
Apply a small amount of silicone sealant inside and around the end of the conduit pipe that is inside
the unit. The sealant helps to prevent any condensation formed inside the conduit from dripping into
the unit. This is especially important when using the conduit entry located on the top of the
enclosure. (Manufacturers of silicon sealant include Dow Corning, Duron, General Electric, and
DuPont.)
•
Sealed fittings should be installed at all cable entry points to prevent liquids from entering the unit.
