Installation
1. Remove the 12 security screws from unit.
2. Remove top cap from unit.
3. Pull front assembly away from back unit.
4. Disconnect the gray Wago connector (see diagram on page 9).
5. If wall mount, mount to wall.
6. If pole mount, attach unit to pole using Pole Mounting Bracket (Part # RP7700098A).

Station from the charging station.
8. Connect the electrical wires from the 120v power supply ran through conduit to the wires in the Call Station
using the waterproof wire nuts located on the wire.
If using 480v or 277v, an additional transformer will be installed in the Call Station and the following will need to be
performed: Warning! Electrical Connection Should Be Performed by a Qualied Electrician!
480 Volt AC Supplies:
Connect H1 and H4 on the transformer to the hot and neutral of the 480 volt supply. Connect H2 and H3
together. X2, X4 and the blue and the yellow wires on the charger should be connected to the ground lug on the
transformer. The ground lug should be connected to an earth ground. X1 and X3 should be connected to the brown
wire of the charger.
277 Volt AC Supplies:
Connect H1 and H6 on the transformer to the hot and neutral of the 277 volt supply. Connect H2 and H3
together. X2, X4 and the blue and the yellow wires on the charger should be connected to the ground lug on the
transformer. The ground lug should be connected to an earth ground. X1 and X3 should be connected to the brown
wire of the charger.
Once the electrical is “live”, the phone needs to be programmed and tested. Reconnect the Wago connectors that
attach the front plate to the NEMA 4 box. If the phone will be programmed remotely, secure the front assembly to the
back panel and reinstall the 12 screws to the sides of the unit. If the phone will be programmed on-site, proceed to
the directions for “On-Site Programming”.

Phone Testing
Did you hear a dial tone?
Did the strobe start ashing immediately after the button was pushed?
Did the red LED become a solid light when you pushed the button?
Did the red LED ash and approximately 15-20 seconds later the called party started
talking to you? (Delay is due to the phone telling the other party your location via the
“Location Message”)
Can you hear the other party clearly? (If not, see “Adjust Speaker” below)
Can the other party hear you clearly? (If not, see “Adjust Microphone” below)
When the party you called hangs up, does the strobe stop?
If you have answered YES to all questions, you have successfully installed and tested
the phone. If you answer NO to any question, proceed to the Troubleshooting Section.
Push the emergency button on the front of the Call Station: Yes No
*RATH®recommends the Call Station be tested on a regular basis to ensure proper operation.

the NEMA 4 enclosure and close the Call Station when nished.
Adjusting the Microphone:
If the person you are calling reports your voice is not loud enough, increase the Microphone Sensitivity by
adjusting VR2 a 1/4 turn clockwise (requires a small Phillips screwdriver).
Adjusting the Speaker:
If the voice of the person you call is not loud enough in the phone speaker, increase the volume by adjusting
VR1 a 1/4 turn clockwise.
