The GAI-Tronics emergency phone product line provides the flexibility to address a diverse range of
applications. A wide variety of functions can be achieved by altering the configuration data stored in the
phone’s non-volatile memory. These configuration options include:
•Pre-programmed auto-dial telephone numbers
•Call termination method (automatic or manual)
•Maximum call duration
•Answering options
All of the above telephones are line-powered telephones and can be connected to any of the following:
•Central Office (CO) line to the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN)
•24 V dc or 48 V dc analog station port of Private Branch Exchange (PBX), Private Automatic Branch
Exchange (PABX) or KSU.
Connection may not be made to pay phone extensions or shared service (party) lines.
The phones require a minimum line current of 24 mA to operate. However, when available line current is
below 35 mA, depending on the stability of the telephone line, the telephone’s operation can be affected.
To minimize the effects of lower line current, GAI-Tronics offers a plug-in power supply, Part No.
40404-045.

Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Functionality
Call Received Indicator Lamp
The CALL RECEIVED WHEN LIT lamp indicates to hearing-impaired individuals that the emergency call
has been answered. When the individual presses the emergency push button, the person receiving the call
(typically the security operator) presses the * DTMF button. The telephone detects the * DTMF signal
and illuminates the CALL RECEIVED WHEN LIT lamp.
Location Identification Code Dialing
The Location Identification Code feature enables security personnel to quickly and easily locate an
individual in trouble. When the individual presses the EMERGENCY push button, the person receiving the
call (typically the security operator) presses the * DTMF button. The telephone detects the * DTMF
signal and transmits a three-digit location identification code to identify which emergency telephone is
originating the call. This location code can be displayed on a DTMF decoder device (not supplied).
Disconnecting Calls
There are several methods to disconnect emergency telephone calls, including both manual and automatic
disconnect methods:
•To remotely disconnect an emergency call, the operator presses the #for a least 2 seconds or # #
twice within 2 seconds.
•To manually disconnect an emergency call, press the EMERGENCY button after 15 seconds (can be
disabled).
•To manually disconnect a non-emergency call, press the CALL button a second time.
•To automatically disconnect
-All calls, loop current disconnect.
-All calls, maximum call duration timeout (configurable from 1 minute to 99 minutes) or disable to
no timeout.
-Emergency and incoming calls, call progress tones (dial tone, busy signal, fast busy [or reorder]
tone)
For factory defaults and available options, please refer to the Programming section of this manual,
beginning on page 16.

Installation
ATTENTION Installation should be performed by qualified personnel and only in
accordance with the National Electrical Code or applicable local codes.
Safety Guidelines
When installing any GAI-Tronics telephone equipment, please adhere to the following guidelines to
ensure the safety of all personnel:
•Do not install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.
•All telephone models must be properly connected to earth ground to protect personnel and to
minimize the effects of any electrostatic discharge (e.g., lightning). The Model 293AL-001, 294AL-
001, 297-001, and 298-001 Telephones each include a ground terminal. Please note proper grounding
does not eliminate the need for lightning protection for the telephone or the telephone system.
•Install a UL Listed lightning arrestor on any phone installed where the phone or phone cable is at
risk of being exposed to lightning strikes. The lightning arrestor must be installed as close to the
phone as possible to maximize the protection. It must not be installed within the enclosure supplied
with the phone. Please consult our Service Center at 800-492-1212 for further information.
•Do not install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically designed for wet
locations.
•Do not touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been
disconnected at the network interface.
•The Model 40404-045 Power Supply must be connected to an ac source within 4 feet of the
telephone. The ac source and power supply must be mounted in a dry location, such as in a
GAI-Tronics stanchion.
General Installation Guidelines
GAI-Tronics emergency phones are designed to operate on telephone lines as detailed in the Product
Overview section of this manual. The telephones are designed to operate with one telephone per line. If
telephones are operated in parallel or “party line configuration” you may experience sporadic phone
operation, difficulties with programming, or premature disconnection of calls. Additionally, if special
features, e.g. voice mail, call waiting, etc, are not disabled, the phone may not function.
Tamper-Resistant Hardware
All of the telephones described in this manual are vandal resistant. The front panel for each telephone
covered in this manual is attached to its enclosure with tamper-resistant screws. A GAI-Tronics Model
233-001 Tamper-Resistant Screwdriver (sold separately) is recommended for installing the tamper-
resistant screws.

Conduit Installation Details
GAI-Tronics recommends installing telephone lines in conduit to protect against accidental damage and
vandalism. To prevent moisture from entering the enclosure, we strongly recommend the following:
•Conduit should enter the enclosure from the bottom.
•Sealed fittings should be installed at all cable entry points.
•Silicone sealant or equivalent should be applied around and inside all conduit entries.
Please refer to the examples below for the recommended conduit installation details.
Figure 1. Bottom entry conduit recommended for
non-metallic enclosures Figure 2. Top entry conduit installation for non-
metallic enclosures (NOT recommended)
Figure 3. Bottom entry conduit installation details
for metallic enclosures Figure 4. Top entry conduit installation details for

Models 293-001, 293AL-001, and 294AL-001
The mounting and wiring instructions for Models 293-001, 293AL-001 and 294AL-001 are as follows:
1. Remove the four tamper-resistant screws from
the front panel.
2. Position the enclosure on the mounting
surface. The enclosure provides four
0.28-inch mounting holes. Secure it with the
four ¼-inch diameter bolts of the appropriate
length for the mounting surface.
NOTE:When using the GAI-Tronics Model
231 Pole Mounting Kit, follow the mounting
instructions provided in the kit.
3. For Model 293-001 only: Create an access
hole using a Greenlee-type punch that is
equivalent in size to the conduit diameter.
Bottom entry is strongly recommended. Insert
a conduit fitting in the access hole. Refer to
conduit installation details on page 6.
NOTE:Use silicone sealant or equivalent
around and inside all conduit entries.
4. Pull the telephone line through the conduit. Connect the telephone line to the customer-supplied
telephone line surge suppressor (if applicable) and modular jack.
5. Connect the telephone’s modular plug to a USOC RJ11 or CA11A (Canada) modular jack.
NOTE:A modular jack may be mounted inside the telephone. Telephone line connections directly to
TB1 are acceptable.
6. Perform the initial programming of the phone. Refer to the Programming section on page 16.
7. Make hardware configuration changes, if necessary. Refer to page 12 for more information. Verify
that the phone is operating properly by calling to and from another phone.
8. Adjust the speaker levels if necessary. See the Audio Level Adjustments section on page 14 for
details.
9. Complete the installation by attaching the front panel assembly to the rear enclosure using the four
tamper-resistant screws.
