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
▲
The spring-loaded door (Titan models only, where fitted) can close
sharply. Take care not to trap fingers etc., during installation and use.
▲
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 6)
2. Product Description
This manual describes the CB versions of the Titan and Commander
telephone ranges. The term “CB” originally stood for “central battery”, but in
modern terms means a telephone with no dialling or signalling capability – it
can only seize the line or ring. Although functionally and electrically identical,
(i.e. the operation and connection details are common), Titan and
Commander differ physically, so the installation and mounting details are
described separately.
2.1. Changes from previous versions
This manual describes an updated range of products (called ‘1064’ models)
introduced in March 2005. For those familiar with GAI-Tronics’ products, the
list of new or changed features is as follows:
•New terminal layout (section 6.1).
•Increased lightning protection (section 8).
•Handset integrity alert option (section 3.2).
•No separate Cap-Shunt link (ringing is permanently enabled).
•Compliance with ETSI European telephony standards (previous versions
were to British standards) section 8.
•Compliance with railway EMC standards (section 8)
•Second hookswitch option (section 6.2)
For the full list of product features, please see the specifications in section 8.

2.2. Titan features
Titan is a family of rugged, weather-resistant metal-bodied telephones
available with a range of handset types, keypad configurations, colours and
enclosures, based around a common faceplate style.
Most Titans are equipped with a heavy-duty spring-loaded door, but models
are available without door and also as faceplate only, for flush mounting.
Titan doors may be fitted with slamlocks opened by an 8mm square socket
key.
2.3. Commander features
Commander is a family of rugged, weather-resistant telephones manufactured
from moulded glass-reinforced polyester. A range of handset types and
keypad configurations are available.

3. Operation / Testing
The CB telephone has no buttons and no means of dialling or signalling.
It can only be used to make calls where calls are routed by the exchange, for
example the BT Direct Connect service or PABXs or concentrators specifically
configured to do so. Seek assistance from your telephone service provider or
infrastructure maintainer to configure this facility.
To make a call, lift the handset. The exchange should establish the call.
When the other party answers, two way speech is possible.
To end the call, replace the handset on its cradle.
To answer a call, wait for ringing (a loud, two-tone warble), then lift the
handset. Two way speech should be possible as before, and the call is ended
by replacing the handset.
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 configured, this feature will disable the call timer if the handset integrity loop
is broken. This means that, if the handset is detached (for example by
vandalism), the telephone will remain permanently on line even if the call timer
is on.
This provides a method of alerting the signal box or control centre that the
handset is damaged and needs urgent attention.
WARNING: this option should only be used on PABXs or concentrators
configured to expect the alert condition. Not for use on the PSTN.
This is a factory-configured option. Telephones with this option have an
internal label marked “Handset Integrity Alert, the call timer is disabled if the
handset integrity loop is broken”.

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: installers must ensure that they
have the permission of the owner of the PABX or telephone network to which
the telephone is to be connected, and that installation is carried out by trained
personnel. Contact GAI-Tronics if installation service is required.
IMPORTANT
Installation details differ between the TITAN and COMMANDER product
ranges –please make sure you know which product you are installing
and refer to the appropriate sections below.
4.2. Emergency Services warning
These telephones are not capable of dialling, and therefore cannot
make direct calls to the emergency services unless the exchange is
configured to do so. Check with your telephone service provider or
infrastructure maintainer whether it is necessary to warn users that
emergency calls cannot be made from this telephone, and if so provide
a suitable warning notice. A warning label, which can be fixed to the
front of the telephone, is provided.
4.3. Titan
1. To prepare for installation, open the door (where fitted), then undo the
four retaining screws to remove the faceplate from the rear enclosure. A
3mm Allen key is required. Do not remove the plastic cover on the back
of the faceplate.
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.

5. Mounting methods and dimensions
5.1. General
IMPORTANT
Installation details differ between the TITAN and COMMANDER product
ranges –please make sure you know which product you are installing
and refer to the appropriate sections below.
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.

8 Titan CB, Commander CB
Only fit a second gland if a separate cable is required to the phone (for
example for an additional hook contact).
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
5.2. Titan
As standard, Titan with rear enclosure is supplied with 2 cable glands with
sealing washers, 4 countersunk screws with wall plugs and a 3mm Allen key.
Titan telephones supplied for flush mounting have no rear enclosure – see
section 5.2.3 below.
5.2.1 Wall mounting
1. Using a suitable tool, punch out the 4 holes in the rear enclosure,
taking care not to damage or dislodge the plastic bushes. Only four

Titan CB, Commander CB 9
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:USE ONLY countersunk-headed fixing screws. 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 6) and re-fitting the face plate.

5.2.2 Pole mounting
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. After punching through the flanged bushes in the rear enclosure (as
described in WALL MOUNTING), attach the pole mounting clamp
assemblies to the rear enclosure using the M6 x 25 screws
provided. Tighten to a torque of 4.5Nm max.
Note: only use the outer four holes, and ensure that the screws seat
properly in the plastic bushes to avoid water ingress.
2. 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.
3. Continue the installation by making the appropriate connections
(section 6) and re-fitting the face plate.
4. 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.
5.2.3 Flush mounting
Titan telephones supplied for flush mounting have a slightly different
faceplate to those supplied with a rear enclosure – in particular the fixing
holes are in different positions and there are no corner cut-outs (for door
hinges). These models are usually described as “Titan fp” and the
supplied mounting kit contains round-headed screws and no glands.
