1Product Description
The Crossing Telephone is a metal-bodied, weather resistant telephone
designed for connection to PETS. Features include:
•CB Operation only – lift handset to loop line – no dialling is possible.
•Illuminated legend panel and switch.
•Selectable illumination level setting.
•Selectable call timer
•Voltage free contacts, (N\C, N\O, COM) available on the terminal block,
which operate when the front panel button is pressed.
2Pre-Installation
The Crossing Telephone is connected by hard wiring -(unlike a standard indoor
telephone, which uses a plug and socket). Because of this, additional
requirements must be observed. Connection to the network (including via a
PBX/PABX) must be performed by authorised personnel with the agreement of
the network provider. Connections to the telephone should be isolated at the
network termination point (NTP) before opening the telephone case.
IMPORTANT
THE SAFETY OF THE USER/INSTALLER RELIES ON ISOLATION OF THE
TELEPHONE NETWORK AND NOT ON THE EARTHING OF THE CASE.
When connection is being made to privately owned extension wiring of a
PBX/PABX, then this should only be performed by either the network provider
to which the PBX/PABX may be linked, or by the authorised maintainer of the
PBX/PABX.
2.1 Ringer Equivalence Number (REN)
Exchange lines provide a limited amount of current to make telephones
connected to them ring correctly. In order to ensure that telephones will ring
properly, the number of instruments that may be connected to one line must be
controlled. All telephones are designated a Ringer Equivalence Number (REN)
- the Crossing Telephone has a REN of 1.
Note: Some PBX/PABX lines have different capabilities to the public network
and the Installation Handbook should be consulted for information.
When the Crossing Telephone is 3-wire connected with different models of
telephone, then full performance cannot be guaranteed.

2.2 Suitability For Use
Crossing Telephones are suitable for connection to either loop disconnect or
multifrequency (tone) dialling telephone lines.
Connection may NOT be made to shared service (party) lines.
The telephone is NOT suitable for connection to a PABX which returns
secondary proceed indication
2.3 Preparation
Figure 2 – Circuit Board with Option Setting
2.3.1 Light Panel Current Selection
It is possible to give the legend panel and PRESS button illumination by wiring
the connections 1 and 2 together. A jumper is available to select, 5mA, or 1mA
of current from the line. The jumper is supplied in the 5mA position, (maximum
light output). For 1mA the jumper must be left off. It is advisable to select the
maximum current setting possible to give the best light output.
2.3.2 Timer Selection
Set the call time-out selector as required. If set to the ENABLE position, calls
will terminate after approximately 7 minutes even if the handset is still off hook.

3INSTALLATION
IMPORTANT
All possible measures must be taken to ensure water or fluid 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 carry out this basic function may invalidate your warranty and
Certification
As supplied the telephones are suitable for wall/vertical surface, pole or post
mounting.
If only one gland is used, the sealing plug should be left in place.
3.1Vertical Surface or Wall Mounting
As supplied, the telephone is only suitable for vertical surface mounting.
The following parts are included in the standard installation kit:
•2 - cable glands with sealing washers
•1 - 4mm socket wrench
1. Place the telephone on its rear surface on a firm horizontal surface.
2. Open the cover, release the front plate from the rear enclosure by
unscrewing the four captive screws using a 3mm socket wrench provided.
Figure 3 – Releasing the front plate
1. Remove the RED blanking plug from the cable entry hole leaving the
YELLOW plug in situ.

2. Select the appropriate sized cable gland provided:
Use the smallest gland for cables diameters 4 - 7mm.
Use the largest gland for cable diameters 8 - 13mm.
Figure 5 – Threading the cable
3. Insert the selected gland into the threaded cable entry hole and tighten
using a 19mm A/F spanner, so that its sealing washer is compressed
against the enclosure surface.
Figure 6 – Tightening the gland
Using a suitable tool to create the mounting holes needed by punching through
the centre of the plastic flanged bushes fitted to the back wall of the rear
enclosure.
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.

4. Ensuring that the cable entries are at the bottom, offer the rear enclosure up
to a vertical surface and mark through the punched holes. Do not use the
backplate as a template to drill the holes, work only from the marked
positions. Be careful not to damage the plastic washers.
⇒Drill the required number of holes in the vertical surface to the
appropriate depth to suit the best possible method of fixing.
5. Ensure that all four plastic flanged bushes are in place and the rear
enclosure is screwed tightly to the surface to prevent any water incursion
through the punched holes.
IMPORTANT:DO NOT use countersunk headed fixing screws. Only use
either round head, hexagon head or pan head screws provided.

6. Insert the cable through the gland body and screw down the gland nut
sufficient to clamp the cable and make a seal.

IMPORTANT: If only one gland entry is used, the blanking plug fitted to the
second gland position must be left in place.
3.2 Pole Mounting
Kit No 100-02-0208-001
For mounting 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.
Banding straps (large-scale worm drive clamps) are not included in this kit and
must be obtained separately. For details of where these may be obtained call
GAI-Tronics.
For flat mounting on surfaces greater than 150mm across, use the Vertical
Surface or Wall Mounting method.
Figure 10 – Pole mounting
1. Disassemble the telephone as described in Vertical Surface or Wall
Mounting.
2. Punch through the flanged bushes in the rear enclosure - taking care to note
the IMPORTANT advice in Vertical Surface or Wall Mounting regarding
extra holes and warranty invalidation.
3. Attach the pole mounting clamp assemblies to the rear enclosure using the
M6 x 25 screws provided - see Figure 14 – Pole mounting.
