Installation
WARNING
—
This product can contain hazardous voltages. Always remove power to this
station and any associated equipment before beginning any installation.
CAUTION
—
Do not install this equipment in 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.
Install equipment without modification and according to all applicable local and national electrical codes.
Consult the National Electrical Code (NFPA 70), Canadian Standards Association (CSA 22.1), and local
codes for specific requirements regarding your installation. Class 2 circuit wiring must be performed in

Safety Guidelines
When installing any GAI-Tronics equipment, please adhere to the following guidelines to ensure the
safety of all personnel:
•
Do not install wiring during a lightning storm.
•
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Protection:
GAI-Tronics’ VoIP telephones may have an earth
ground terminal provision. Connect this terminal to ground in accordance with all local safety
regulations and the NEC (National Electrical Code). Grounding must be ensured for safe and stable
communications. Do not use long and coiled ground wires. Trim ground wires to the required
length. Use a star configuration whenever possible. Please note proper grounding does not eliminate
the need for lightning protection for the telephone or the telephone system. A Cat5 data line lightning
surge protector is recommended for telephones subject to any electrostatic discharge (e.g. lightning).
•
Do not install jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically designed for wet locations.
Security Hardware
Models 210-702BH/-702BHAC, 227-700, and 277-702BH/-702BHAC are vandal-resistant. The front
enclosure or panel of these telephones is attached to its mounting plate or enclosure with security screws.
A GAI-Tronics Model 233-001 Security Screwdriver or Torx T-25 security head tip (sold separately) is
required to install the security screws. Models 247-700 and 257-700 Telephones’ front panels are
attached with standard Phillips head screws.
Conduit Installation Details (Applicable to Models 247-700 and 257-
700)
GAI-Tronics recommends installing cabling in conduit to protect against accidental damage and
vandalism. The following points are strongly recommended to prevent moisture from entering the
enclosure:
•
Conduit should enter the enclosure from the bottom.
•
If entered from the top, the conduit must be internally sealed to prevent moisture ingress.
•
Sealed fittings should be installed at all cable entry points.
•
Silicone sealant or equivalent must be applied around and inside all conduit entries.
Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2.
