General Information
Product Overview
GAI-Tronics’ ICS (Industrial Communications
System) and SP2 (Serverless Page/Party) systems are
modular industrial communication systems. The
subsets covered by this publication are designed for
indoor use with remote amplifiers in ICS and SP2
systems.
The desktop subset enables page and party line
communication when installed with a remote
amplifier. The remote subset includes a pressbar
handset, an internal speaker with volume control,
and a five-party rotary selector switch (multi-party
subset only).
The desktop subset is designed for desktop
placement or wall-mount installation. The compact
size is made possible by housing most of the support
electronics in a separate remote amplifier enclosure.
The subset is designed for indoor applications. The
DB25 subset interconnect cable permits mounting the subset up to 10 feet from the amplifier.
Features
• one-way page announcements over
system speakers
• full-duplex party line communication
• durable, ABS plastic housing • built-in speaker with volume control

Wall-Mount Installation
To mount the subset on a vertical surface:
1. Remove the four screws from the bottom of the subset’s housing.
2. Rotate the bottom section of the housing 180º.
3. Reassemble the top to the bottom with the four screws.
4. Pull out the handset hook and rotate it 180º.
This allows the handset to remain on hook when wall mounted
5. Mount the subset in the desired location.
6. Continue with step two of the desktop installation instructions below.
Desktop Installation
1. Place the subset at the desired location.
2. Plug the interconnect cable into the subset and tighten the thumbscrews on the DB25 connector.
3. Route the opposite end of the cable to the remote amplifier location.
4. Plug the interconnect cable into the remote amplifier and tighten the thumbscrews on the DB25
connector.
