Each RED ALERT
®
telephone can provide two isolated control outputs in the form of a dry (volt-free)
contact closure rated at 125 mA. One output is controlled by the telephone’s emergency call activation
and the other is remotely controlled by a called party DTMF activation code.
All RED ALERT

emergency telephones are line-powered and require a minimum line current of 24 mA
for proper operation. These telephones can be connected to any of the following networks:
•
CO (Central Office) line to the PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network)
•
24 V dc or 48 V dc analog station port of a PBX (Private Branch Exchange), PABX (Private
Automatic Branch Exchange), or KSU (Key Service Unit).

Connection to pay telephone extensions or shared service (party) lines should be avoided.
GAI-Tronics offers an extreme cold weather option for operation below −4 °F (−20 °C) that includes a
plug-in power supply (120 V ac required). This option allows operation to −40 °C.
RED ALERT

emergency telephones provide the flexibility to address a diverse range of applications. A
wide variety of functions can be achieved by altering the configuration data stored in the telephone’s non-
volatile memory. These configuration options include:
•
pre-programmed auto-dial telephone numbers
•
call termination method (automatic or manual)
•
maximum call duration
•
answering options
Values for these functions are initially programmed during factory testing. The settings can be changed
remotely from a touch-tone telephone, locally (with an integral or portable keypad), or via TMA.
Emergency auto-dial telephone numbers are typically programmed in accordance with existing security
plans. Most applications will require very little additional programming because the factory defaults
should be applicable to most installations.
