General Information
The Model 234WM Wall-Mount Stanchion Assembly is designed to house a Model 298 Series or 297
Series Emergency Telephone or Model 276 Series or 277 Series Flush Panel Handset Telephone, and a
Model 530FB or 531A Beacon (each sold separately). The stanchion is a simple, attractive, yet highly
visible unit measuring 40.5 inches (1.03 meters) tall.
GAI-Tronics emergency telephones are designed for isolated high-risk areas requiring emergency
communications equipment. Emergency telephone users simply press the clearly labeled emergency push
button for immediate connection to a user-programmed central security telephone number. The following
is a list of GAI-Tronics telephone models that are compatible for use in the Model 234 Wall-Mount
Stanchion and the associated instruction publication number:

shines on the faceplate of the telephone mounted in the stanchion, illuminating it for nighttime use. Refer
