4 Quick Start Guide
Full programming and configuration details are contained in the
Configuration guide, available from
www.hubbell.com/gai-tronics/en/voip-support
The factory defaults will generally be sufficient in most cases, but the
following steps must be taken as a minimum:
•Provide an Ethernet connection and power (either 24-48Vdc or PoE)
•NOTE –PoE must be on spare pairs only (not data pairs)
•Ensure that a DHCP server is available on the network, and that the
IP address allocated to the telephone can be discovered (DHCP is
the normal factory default provisioning method). If DHCP fails (or
there is no DHCP server) the telephone will revert to a default IP
address of 192.168.1.2 after a few minutes
•Using a web browser, browse to the IP address.
•When prompted, enter the user name and password (Defaults: user
& password)
•From the Home Page, select the Configuration section, and from
that the VoIP Accounts main page
•On the VoIP Account 1 Information sub-page, enter:
oThe user name (the extension number or name used by the
SIP server for this telephone)
oDomain name, Proxy domain name and Register domain
name –set all of these to the domain name or IP address of
the SIP server
oAuth user password –set to the authentication password for
the extension on the SIP server if required.
oEnsure Provider enable and Register enable are both set to
enable.
oUpdate the changes, then save the changes.
oCheck that the registration state changes to “registered”
•Program any speed dial memories using the User Configuration

5.2 Pre- installation
The Auteldac 6 telephone is connected by hard-wiring - (unlike a plug
and socket on internal telephones). Because of this, installation must
be carried out by trained, competant personnel. Contact GAI-Tronics if
installation service is required.
The telephone is supplied suitable for vertical mounting only. Before
installing the unit, please take note of the following:
•Glands. Glands are not supplied. All glands and cables must meet
‘Increased Safety’ (‘e’ type) requirements. Only ‘e’ type glands and
suitable cables should be used and must be fitted correctly.
Glands must meet IP66 minimum and be certified Ex eb tb.
Glands must be suitable for -40°C to +70°C
•Earth connection. The unit must be connected to an
equipotential bonding system for the whole area in which the
intrinsically safe equipment is being used. See section 5.4.3 for
details.
•Cable entries - Auteldac 6 has two M20 cable entry gland
positions. Before installing, give consideration to the options
available to ensure that the required connections can be made
using the available glands.
If a high voltage is connected to the relay contacts (for example to
activate a mains-powered beacon) then that cable must be
segregated from all other cables and routed through its own gland.
Upon installation care should be taken to ensure that incoming
cables are cleanly routed with a view to maintaining segregation
between hazardous voltage cabling and the telephone's internal
wiring (i.e. handset, hookswitch, ringer and headset if fitted).
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 IT IN INCLEMENT
WEATHER CONDITIONS OR BY NEGLIGENCE.
FAILURE TO TAKE THIS PRECAUTION WILL INVALIDATE YOUR
WARRANTY AND CERTIFICATION
The telephone body must NOT be opened, nor glands removed or
cables disconnected unless all supplies to the telephone, including
network cables, power cables and external devices have been isolated
outside the hazardous area. Terminals for incoming cables are ‘e’ type
and must be carefully connected so as to make an ‘e’ type termination.

Auteldac 6
9
The Code of Practice for ‘e’ type enclosures is specified in IEC60079-
14. The installer and all service personnel should be familiar with the
relevant sections of these documents.
If only one gland entry is used, the black Ex e sealing plug must be
fitted to the unused entry.
1. Place the telephone on its base on a firm horizontal surface.
2. Using a 5mm Allen key, release the Front Casing from the Rear
Casing. The screws are not captive in the Front Casing.
3. Noting their positions, disconnect the ribbon cable(s) and the ringer
cable from the front section. See 5.5.
4. Take care when removing the Front Casing from the Rear Casing
and storing the Front Casing not to damage the internal electronics
or connections. To do so will violate the certification of the telephone
product.
5. Check the condition of the sealing gasket (in the recess running
round the edge of the front section), especially if the telephone has
been previously used. If this seal shows any sign of damage or
deterioration, it must be replaced prior to installing the telephone.
6. Remove the RED blanking plug from the cable entry hole leaving the
Ex e certified (usually BLACK) blanking plug in situ.
NOTE: The Ex e plug must be used to seal the unused gland
hole; failure to do so will invalidate the certification of the
telephone product.
7. Select the appropriate size Ex gland for the cable used.
8. Take care when inserting the selected gland into the threaded cable
entry hole. Follow the gland manufacturer’s instructions particularly
with respect to sealing, installation and earthing.
9. After the glands have been fitted, select the required mounting
method and follow the appropriate instructions below.

5.3 Mounting Methods
5.3.1 Wall Mounting
To ensure weatherproof integrity when wall mounted, external cables
should enter the enclosure from the bottom via the two 20mm gland
entries provided.
IMPORTANT WARNING:
DO NOT DRILL ANY EXTRA HOLES AS THIS WILL INVALIDATE
YOUR WARRANTY AND THE CERTIFICATION.
1. Ensuring that the cable entries are at the bottom, offer the Rear
Casing up to the vertical surface and mark through the fixing holes.
Do not use the Rear Casing as a template to drill the holes.
Work only from the marked positions.
2. Drill the holes in the vertical surface to suit the best method of fixing.
3. Ensure the Rear Casing is securely attached to the vertical surface
using the four 7mm diameter screw holes provided. No sealing
washers are necessary.
IMPORTANT: Do not use countersunk headed fixing screws. Only
use round head, socket cap head or pan head screws. Take care not
to over tighten the screws as doing so may damage the case and
will invalidate your warranty and the certification.
4. Remove the terminal cover to allow access to the cable glands and
terminals. Retain the cover to refit prior to putting the telephone into
use.
5. Pass the cable through the gland and tighten, following the gland
manufacturer’s instructions.

5.3.2 Pole-side Mounting
Kit No 100-02-0208-001
This accessory kit 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. For flat mounting on surfaces greater than 150mm across use
the wall mounted method.
Pole side mounting
NOTE:
Banding straps (large scale worm-drive clamps) are not included in this
kit and must be obtained separately. For details of where mounting kits
can be obtained, refer to GAI-Tronics .
1. Attach the pole mounting clamp assemblies to the Rear Casing
using the M6 x 25 screws provided. Tighten to a torque of 4.5Nm
(3.3 ft-lbs) max.
IMPORTANT: avoid the use of power tools. Spinning the nuts too
quickly can cause a rapid increase in heat which can cause the nuts
to seize as a result of galling or cold-welding.
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. Remove the terminal cover to allow access to the cable glands and
terminals. Retain the cover to refit prior to putting the telephone into
use.
4. Continue the installation procedure with the connection of individual
wires from the cable as described under sections 5.4 onwards.
5. Secure the telephone Front Casing to the Rear Casing (refer to 5.5).
6. 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.

5.4 Connections and Cabling
IMPORTANT WARNING:-
ISOLATE POWER AND NETWORK OUTSIDE THE HAZARDOUS
AREA BEFORE OPENING THE CASE.
ALL TERMINALS MUST BE CONNECTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH
THIS INSTALLATION GUIDE. ANY DEVIATION FROM THIS MAY
RESULT IN AN UNSAFE INSTALLATION AND VIOLATE THE
CONDITIONS OF THE CERTIFICATION.
The connections to the Auteldac 6 are made via 2 terminal blocks below the
main PCB. The cabling between the entry glands and the terminal blocks is
covered by a terminal cover, secured by 2 screws as shown. Remove this
cover to allow access to the terminals.
Cable selection must be appropriate to application: Solid wire 0.5 to 4.0mm²
(20 to 12AWG), stranded wire 1.5 to 4.0mm² (16 to 12AWG). Torque to 0.5-
0.6Nm (0.37-0.44 lbf.ft).
Any unused terminals must be fully tightened.
The terminal cover must be secured in place before re-assembling the
telephone prior to use. The terminal cover provides the required isolation
between the cabling in the rear section and the circuitry in the front section
and is critical to the product's certification.

5.4.2 Power
Power can be provided by either
•PoE (Vmax=57Vdc) using option B - spare pairs only.
Auteldac 6 cannot use PoE on data pairs.
•DC power input (AUX POWER) Vmax=53V , Imax=250mA.
If both power supplies are connected the telephone will give
preference to Aux power. If Aux power is disconnected the
telephone will reboot to renegotiate PoE. If PoE power is lost while
Aux power is connected the telephone will not reboot.
5.4.3 Earth connection
IMPORTANT: Auteldac 6 must be connected to an equipotential
bonding system for the whole area in which the intrinsically safe
equipment is being used.
Auteldac 6 is provided with an externally facing earth bonding screw
for this purpose.

Auteldac 6
14
This earth bonding screw can also be used as a continuity
connection between glands if 2 metal glands are used.
Note that there is a second screw adjacent to the earth bonding
point. This screw must not be used as an earth bonding point and
must not be removed.
5.4.4 Relay Contact
(Galvanically isolated, volt-free contact)
The connection from the telephone to the external load must be
installed such that the apparatus continues to comply with the
requirements of IEC 62368-1.
Typical connection scheme for a beacon and sounder
CONTACT RATING:

Auteldac 6
15
Maximum voltage = 250V rms (nominal 230V)
Maximum current = 5A rms
Note: the telephone does not include any fusing or transient
protection for the relay contact; this must be provided externally.
The relay fitted to the Auteldac 6 has a continuous current rating of
5A. It has been brought to our attention that some beacons, whilst
having a current rating well below this figure, actually generate
current spikes far in excess of this during making and breaking of the
relay contacts. These current spikes can cause the relay contacts to
fail.
GAI-Tronics have been working closely with a leading beacon
manufacturer to resolve this issue and our recommendations are:
•Restrict the use of beacons to non AC variants only or those
with a maximum flash intensity of 5 joules.
•Where beacons with greater than 5 joule flash intensity are
required, the beacons should be purchased directly from GAI-
Tronics, who will ensure compatibility with the Auteldac 6 and
that certification parameters are not compromised.
5.4.5 Headset
If a headset is required, an adapter cable must be connected
internally. The adapter cable is fed into the telephone through one
of the gland entries (via a suitable gland) and has an external, cable-
mounted socket to connect a certified headset.
After feeding into the the telephone, the wires in the adapter cable
are fitted to a 7-way Molex housing, which is then connected to the
mating part labelled CON5 on the circuit board in the front section as
shown:
When fitting the crimped wires into the housing, ensure that each
contact clicks fully home.

Auteldac 6
16
Adapter cables are available for different types of approved headset.
Some types have 5 wires (including a drain wire), whilst others have
4 wires (without drain wire).
The headset adapter cable should lie over the terminal cover,
leaving enough cable inside the telephone to allow the front and rear
sections to be separated without straining the connection.
The headset interface of the Auteldac 6 has been certified as
intrinsically safe. Therefore, it is permissible to connect and
disconnect the headset from the socket on an adapter cable in a
hazardous area.
The headset connection (internal) is defined with the following
apparatus terminal parameters:
Uo= 6.5V
Io= 0.097A
Po= 0.157W
Ci = 0
Li = 0
The capacitance and either the inductance or inductance to
resistance ratio (L/R) of the load connected to the hazardous area
terminals for the headset must not exceed the following values:
Group
Capacitance
Inductance or L/R ratio
(µF)
(mH)
(µH/Ω)

15.1
902
IIA
1000
30.2

The above load parameters apply where:

Auteldac 6
17
1. The external circuit contains no combined lumped
inductance Liand capacitance Cigreater than 1% of the
above values, or
2. The inductance and capacitance are distributed as in a
cable, or
3. The external circuit contains either only lumped inductance
or lumped capacitance in combination with a cable
In all other situations e.g. the external circuit contains combined
lumped inductance and lumped capacitance, up to 50% of each of
the L and C values is allowed. The reduced capacitance of the
external circuit (including cable) shall not be greater than 1µF for
Groups I, IIA and IIB, or greater than 600nF for Group IIC.
The headset must be used in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions and certification (supplied with headset).
Only certified headsets supplied by GAI-Tronics may be used.
5.4.6 Optional Headset Extension lead
A separate headset extension lead is available as an optional extra,
allowing the operator to extend the headset cord by up to a further 4
metres. Note: Refer to section Error! Reference source not found.
for hazard warnings regarding long corded headsets & handsets.
5.5 Reassembling the telephone enclosure
1. Check the condition of the sealing gasket (in the recess running
around the edge of the front section), especially if the telephone has
been previously used. If this seal shows any sign of damage or
deterioration, it must be replaced prior to installing the telephone.
2. Reconnect the internal cable(s) from the Rear Casing to the Front,
making sure each connector is correctly orientated. There is a keyway
on each connector to help. Do not forcibly fit the connector(s).
IMPORTANT –FAILURE TO ENSURE THE CORRECT
ORIENTATION OF THE CONNECTOR(S) WILL VIOLATE THE
CONDITIONS OF THE CERTIFICATION

Auteldac 6
18
Internal cable positions
3. Upon installation, care should be taken to ensure that incoming cables
are cleanly routed with a view to maintaining segregation from the
telephone's internal wiring (i.e. handset, hookswitch, ringer).
4. Ensure that the terminal cover is fitted. The terminal cover provides
the required isolation between the cabling in the rear section and the
circuitry in the front section and is critical to the product's certification.
5. Offer the Front Casing to the Rear Casing, with the internal cables
arranged as shown above; ensure that the cable(s) will not be trapped
when the Front Casing is tightened down. Take care that the large
ribbon cable can lay flat and that the insulation can not become
damaged.
IMPORTANT - DAMAGED INSULATION WILL VIOLATE THE
CONDITIONS OF THE CERTIFICATION.
6. The telephone cover has three M6 fixings which need to be tightened
gradually in turn in order to prevent distortion of the cover and to
ensure an even compression of the sealing gasket. Starting from the
bolt in the bottom left, and working in a clockwise direction, gradually
tighten the bolts until a snug fit is achieved between cover and gasket
and the gap between the enclosure halves is even. Then tighten each

Auteldac 6
19
screw to 2Nm, checking that the gap between the enclosure halves is
even.
7. Auteldac 6 is now ready for use.
