3. KETS System Summary
KETS is an "omnibus" system, meaning that all the telephones are connected
in parallel on a single cable pair from the crossing to the concentrator.
In practice all the phones at a crossing are connected into a Line Termination
Unit (LTU), but this is a passive device containing only line conditioning
components, terminals to connect up to 4 devices to a common pair and an
ON OFF switch to isolate all crossing phones from the line. The ability for 4
telephones to work independently on a single pair with detailed fault
monitoring and without interfering with each other relies on each telephone
being an intelligent device with its own unique address on the system.
4. Addressing Procedure
To make sure that a KETS phone automatically acquires the correct address
the rules are simple:
1. Only apply power to a phone when the handset is OFF HOOK.
2. Always test ALL phones at a crossing before leaving site, even
if only a single unit has been changed.
These rules apply equally to a complete new crossing installation or
replacement of a unit or units on an existing installed crossing.
If a KETS phone powers up with the handset on hook, it will retain its previous
address. So, in the event of temporary disconnection or power interruption, all
phones will retain their original addresses and function normally.
When installing or replacing a phone, it is essential that it does not retain any
previously set address, for example from another crossing, which may cause
a conflict. Powering up with the handset off hook will force it to acquire a new,
unique address.

KETS 1141 Titan Illuminated Crossing Telephone 7
Always check the function of all KETS phones after any replacement has
been made. If any individual phone does not perform as expected, it is usually
because the above procedure has not been followed. In this case follow
these steps to recover:
•disconnect power from all the phones (using the LTU switch),
•take all the handsets off hook,
•turn the LTU switch back on
•Replace all the handsets one by one
This will ensure that every phone acquires a unique address.
Note this situation can only occur as a result of maintenance activity, not
during normal operation or as a result of power or line interruption.
5. Operation / Testing
Normal operation of the phone is as follows:
Open the door - the illumination panel will come on
Lift handset - dial tone is heard but the call does not start.
Press button - ring tone is heard until the call is answered.
The call is cleared when the signaller hangs up, regardless of whether the
user hangs up.
When a call is made from the signal box back to the crossing, all KETS
phones on the line pair will ring.
When a handset is lifted the call is connected to that phone, and all the other
phones will stop ringing.

6. Installation
6.1. 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.
2. Line connections are on the reverse of the faceplate, on the lower edge
of the PCB as it protrudes from the back box.
3. The Titan telephone is intended for vertical installation to a wall or pole.
Select the required mounting method (section 6) and mount the rear
enclosure first where applicable.
4. Route the required cable through a gland as appropriate.
5. Make sure the handset is off the cradle before connecting the
telephone to the line
6. Make connections following section 7.
Ensure that both cable entries are sealed with either a gland or a black
blanking plug as described.
7. Replace the handset on its cradle.
8. Re-fit the faceplate ensuring a weatherproof seal is maintained.
9. Test the operation of the telephone (sections 4 & 5) noting that all KETS
phones at the crossing must be tested before leaving site. Installation is
now complete.
6.2. 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:

KETS 1141 Titan Illuminated Crossing Telephone 9
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, part number
100-02-0208-001.
6.3. 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.

10 KETS 1141 Titan Illuminated Crossing Telephone
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 7) and re-fitting the face plate.
6.4. Pole mounting

KETS 1141 Titan Illuminated Crossing Telephone 11
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 7) 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.

12 KETS 1141 Titan Illuminated Crossing Telephone
7. Connections
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 as an optional connection to a local
earth for the purpose of enhanced protection from lightning transients, and is
not required in terms of user safety from the telephone network.

8.2. Fitting the legend panel.
To fit the legend panel, first ensure that a panel has been correctly printed and
cut to size according to the template above.
Remove the faceplate from the telephone by removing the 4 retaining screws.
Locate the slot behind the window, at the left hand edge when viewing from
the front. The slot is only approximately 1mm thick, and there is a retaining
guide to keep the legend panel aligned correctly.
Gently slide the legend panel into place. Undue force should not be
necessary. Note that the slot is fairly tight to the dimensions above to ensure
correct alignment.
When fully inserted, the edge of the legend panel will protrude beyond the
circuit board to the edge of the gasket, allowing a tab for ease of removal. It
must not overlap the strip of gasket, otherwise the water seal will be
compromised.
9. Cleaning
Recommended cleaning methods are outlined below:
9.1. Normal Cleaning
For normal cleaning we recommend "Virosol", manufactured by Clover
products.
Carefully follow manufacturer's instructions for storage, handling and use.
9.2. Stainless Steel Push-button
The stainless steel push-button should be cleaned regularly especially if the
telephone is in a marine environment. The stainless steel may show signs of
discolouration or rust – this will not damage the button or impair its
performance but may look unsightly and can be cleaned off using normal
cleaning agents as above. In extreme cases a mild abrasive may be
necessary.
9.3. Graffiti
For graffiti, paint and ink we recommend the use of 3M GR1 graffiti stain
remover.
CAUTION: This is a very aggressive chemical. Pay close attention to the
manufacturer's recommendations for storage, handling and use.
