1. Safety and Care Information
▲
The safety of the user/installer relies on the isolation of the telephone
network and not on the earthing of the case
▲
Please read these instructions thoroughly before starting installation.
These products must be installed by competent personnel familiar with
telephone installation.
▲
Telephone network voltages can be hazardous. Take adequate
precautions when opening the case or installing. If in doubt, disconnect
the telephone line elsewhere before accessing the line connections.
▲
For increased protection against lightning transients, attach a local
earth to the main terminal block (see section 5)
▲
Do not fit a terminating resistor across the telephone terminals. The
system does not require a terminating resistor, fitting a resistor may
prevent the telephone from initiating a call.
2. Product Description
This manual describes the ILC-1117 model Titan telephone, designed for use
on PETS (Public Emergency Telephone System) at automatic half barrier
(AHB) level crossings in the UK. The product was introduced with the design
of PETS3, but is backward compatible with PETS2 and PETS1.
2.1. Changes from previous versions
This manual describes an updated range of products introduced in June 2009.
For those familiar with GAI-Tronics’ products, the list of new or changed
features is as follows:
•Larger illuminated area, with instructions
•Clearer, more even illumination. Backlight colour is now white as
opposed to red. Illumination level does not vary when on or off hook.
•Prominent, vandal resistant pushbutton
•New, simpler terminal layout (section 5). No separate Cap-Shunt link
(ringing is permanently enabled). The pushbutton is permanently in
circuit.
•There is no longer an option to select an illumination current. Illumination
current is fixed at 6mA.
•Increased lightning protection (section 9).
•Compliance with railway EMC standards (section 9)
For the full list of product features, please see the specifications in section 9.

3. Operation / Testing
When connected to a telephone line, the telephone will draw a constant
current of 6mA on-hook and the illuminated panel will be lit.
Pressing the button with the handset on hook will cause the display to flicker
briefly. This will have no other effect and neither a call nor a fault will be
initiated
Lifting the handset will cause the phone to loop the line – dial tone should be
heard but a call will not be initiated.
Pressing the button will cause a timed loop break (approx 100ms) which
should initiate a call. Refer to the relevant PETS instructions for call
connection timings.
The loop break duration is independent of how long the button is held
pressed. Keeping the button pressed will still only result in a 100ms break.
3.1. Call timer
The phone has a selectable call timer that can limit the maximum call duration
to approximately 7 minutes.
When on, the timer forces the phone back off line after the preset time. This
prevents the line remaining tied if the handset is left off-hook. The timer is
factory-set to OFF by default.
3.2. Handset integrity alert
If the handset integrity loop is broken (most commonly because the handset
has been damaged or torn off), the illumination will not be lit and the on hook
current will be almost zero. This should cause PETS to signal an alarm.
Note that a terminating resistor should not be fitted across the telephone
terminals.

4. Installation
4.1. General
IMPORTANT
All possible measures must be taken to ensure water, fluid or dust
does not contaminate the internal components of the telephone whilst
unpacking, preparing and installing the telephone in inclement weather
conditions or by negligence.
Failure to do so may invalidate your warranty.
These telephones are supplied without connection leads – cabling to the
telephone network must be supplied and installed by the installer. Because of
this, extra precautions must be observed: installation must be carried out by
trained personnel. Contact GAI-Tronics if installation service is required.
1. To prepare for installation, open the door, then undo the four retaining
screws to remove the faceplate from the rear enclosure. A 3mm Allen
key is required. Take care not to damage the exposed circuit board
when setting the faceplate aside during installation.
Caution – take care to support the spring-loaded door whilst open
to prevent it slamming shut and trapping fingers.
2. All connections and option settings are on the rear of the faceplate
towards the lower edge.
3. The Titan telephone is intended for vertical installation to a wall or pole.
Select the required mounting method (section 4) and mount the rear
enclosure first where applicable.
4. Route the required cables through glands as appropriate, and make
connections and option settings following section 5.
Ensure that both cable entries are sealed with either a gland or a black
blanking plug as described.
5. Re-fit the faceplate ensuring a weatherproof seal is maintained.
6. Test the operation of the telephone (section 3). Installation is now
complete.
4.2. If glands are required
Before mounting the telephone, check the cable routing and requirements. If
glands are required, fit them to the case as follows:
1. Remove the RED blanking plug leaving the other (usually BLACK) in
place.

2. Select the appropriate sized gland:
Use the smaller gland for cables diameters 4 - 7mm.
Use the larger gland for cable diameters 8 - 13mm.
3. From the outside of the case, insert
the selected gland into the threaded
cable entry hole and tighten, so that its
sealing washer is compressed against
the enclosure surface.
4. Proceed with chosen mounting method
below
As standard, The telephone is supplied with a pole mounting kit 100-02-0208-
001, but no glands.
4.3. Wall mounting
1. Using a suitable tool, punch out 4 holes in the rear enclosure, taking
care not to damage or dislodge the plastic bushes. Only four of the
eight holes are required - the outer ones are recommended. The
inner holes are provided to be compatible with older-style mounting
posts, and should be left intact if not used. If the inner holes are
used they must be fitted with the supplied plastic bushes.

WARNING:.Your warranty will be invalidated if :-
1. Any fixing hole made in the rear enclosure is left unused.
2. Any additional holes are drilled into the telephone enclosure.
3. Plastic bushes are not used on all fixing holes.
2. Mark the wall with hole centres based on the dimensions shown
(145 x 270mm). If necessary offer the rear enclosure up to the wall
to check alignment. Do not use the enclosure as a template for
drilling.
3. Drill holes in the wall on the marked positions. Select appropriate
screws, wall plugs etc., for the type of wall, bearing in mind that the
weight of the complete phone is around 5kg.
IMPORTANT:Check that screws seat properly in the plastic bushes to
ensure a watertight seal. Do not use excessive tightening force, as
this may crack the case.
4. Ensure that all four plastic flanged bushes are in place and the rear
enclosure is screwed tightly to the surface to prevent any water
ingress through the punched holes.
5. Complete the installation by making the appropriate connections
(section 5) and re-fitting the face plate.
4.4. Pole mounting

ILC-1117 Titan Illuminated Crossing Telephone 9
Kit No 100-02-0208-001
This accessory is for mounting GAI-Tronics telephones on to the side of
round poles of 100mm to 200mm diameter, or on to square or
rectangular section uprights of 100mm to 150mm across the mounting
surface.
NOTE:
Banding straps (large scale worm-drive clamps) are not included in this
kit and must be obtained separately. For details of where banding can
be obtained, refer to GAI-Tronics.
1. Using a suitable tool, punch out the 4 outer holes in the rear
enclosure, taking care not to damage or dislodge the plastic
bushes.
2. Attach the pole mounting clamp assemblies to the rear enclosure
using the M6 x 25 screws provided, pushing the screws through
from inside the phone.
3. Tighten nuts to a torque of 4.5Nm max.
IMPORTANT: avoid the use of power tools. Spinning the nuts too
quickly can cause a rapid increase in heat which can cause the nuts
to seize as a result of galling or cold-welding.
Note: only use the outer four holes, and ensure that the screws seat
properly in the plastic bushes to avoid water ingress.
4. Ensuring that the glands are at the bottom, pass a proprietary
banding strap round each of the pole mounting clamps and the
support pole. Tighten securely.
5. Continue the installation by making the appropriate connections
(section 5) and re-fitting the face plate.
6. Re-tighten the straps firmly and trim off any excess band material.
For security the driving head of the band may also be sawn off.
5. Connections and option settings
If glands are used, insert the cable through the gland body and tighten the gland nut
sufficiently to clamp the cable, making a seal. Ensure sufficient cable is left to allow
removal of the faceplate without straining the cable.

IMPORTANT: If only one cable entry is used, the black blanking plug fitted to the
second position must be left in place.
Connect the telephone line A and B to the main terminal block TB2 as shown.
The centre earth terminal is intended for connection to a local earth to provide
common mode protection from lightning transients. If this terminal is not
earthed there is an increased risk that the telephone could be damaged
by line-born transients.
Note that user safety from the telephone network is provided by isolation and
does not rely on this earth connection.
Do not fit a terminating resistor across the telephone terminals. The
system does not require a terminating resistor, fitting a resistor may
prevent the telephone from initiating a call.
Note: Conductor sizes to be 0.5mm-2.5mm
