Confidentiality Notice
This manual is provided solely as an operational, installation, and maintenance guide and contains
sensitive business and technical information that is confidential and proprietary to GAI-Tronics. GAI-
Tronics retains all intellectual property and other rights in or to the information contained herein, and

Product Overview
Telephones
RED ALERT®series Auto-dial (AD series) Telephones have been designed for maximum environmental
sustainability and high audio quality. The AD series telephones provide reliable, hands-free, two-way
communications in nearly any environment as all models are rated Type 3R. The AD series products are
intended for a single-button call activation telephone in a non-emergency environment.
Each AD series telephone complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in both physical and
operational characteristics. Each telephone includes a Braille label for vision-impaired individuals for
identifying the “call” function of the telephone and a visual CALL RECEIVED WHEN LIT LED for
hearing-impaired individuals. The LED will flash when the CALL button is pressed (call in progress) and
will provide a steady illumination when the call has been answered. The LED will remain illuminated
until the call has been terminated.
The CALL button on each telephone can be programmed to dial three different telephone numbers. These
include a primary telephone number and two “rollover” telephone numbers. In the event that the first
number goes unanswered or is busy, the telephone will automatically dial the first rollover number. The
second rollover number will be dialed if the first rollover number cannot connect. This feature is
completely programmable.
All RED ALERT®Auto-dial series Telephones are line-powered and can be connected to any of the
following networks:
Central Office (C.O.) line to the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN)
24 V dc or 48 V dc analog station port of a Private Branch Exchange (PBX), Private Automatic
Branch Exchange (PABX), or Key Service Unit (KSU).
NOTE:Connection to pay telephone extensions or shared service (party) lines should be avoided.

Each telephone requires a minimum line current of 24 mA for proper operation. For operation below
−4º F (−20° C), GAI-Tronics offers an Extreme Cold Weather Option that includes a plug-in power
supply (120 V ac required) and a non-tactile CALL push button. This option will allow reliable operation
to −40° C/F.
The RED ALERT®Auto-dial series Telephones provide 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
telephone’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
Values for these functions are initially programmed during factory testing, but can be changed remotely
from a touch-tone telephone.
The following RED ALERT®Auto-dial Telephone models are detailed in this manual:

Telephone Management Application (TMA)
RED ALERT®Auto-dial series Telephones are also compatible with GAI-Tronics Telephone
Management Application (TMA) software package (purchased separately). TMA is a maintenance data
collection tool that allows users to view and report the health and activity of the AD telephones. The
decision to use TMA can be made at any time and it is not needed for telephone operation. Installation of
TMA is not required unless system monitoring is desired.

PUB.42004-472B
AUTO-DIAL TELEPHONE MANUAL PAGE 3 of 33
f:\standard ioms - current release\42004 instr. manuals\42004-472b.doc
01/15
When used with TMA, each telephone will typically be polled on a scheduled basis to determine its health
and will report the following:
Stuck push button
Microphone failure
Speaker failure
Microprocessor health (handshake)
Line interrupt (line current loss)
A dedicated telephone line is required per auto-dial telephone when the typical “polling” operation is
used. Although not recommended, auto-dial telephones can share a telephone line with the understanding
that if two or more telephones are put into use simultaneously, the line current could drop sufficiently to
disconnect the telephone call completely. This will depend on the line current, the length of the cable run,
and the condition of the telephone cable. When sharing a telephone line using TMA, the telephone must
be scheduled to “call in” instead of being polled by TMA.
The basic TMA package, Model 12509-042, includes a single line transceiver for polling a single
telephone at a time (dedicated telephone line required). A TMA expansion kit (Model 12509-043)
introduces an additional transceiver to the system for multiple simultaneous telephone polling. The
system will support up to eight transceivers. A dedicated telephone line is required for each transceiver.

Standard Operation
1. Press the CALL push button to place an immediate call to a pre-programmed telephone number.
2. The CALL RECEIVED WHEN LIT indicator (LED) operates as follows:
The indicator will begin to flash when the CALL push button is pressed (call in progress) and will
illuminate steadily when the telephone detects audio after the call is answered.
- or -
The indicator will begin to flash when the CALL push button (call in progress) is pressed and will
illuminate steadily when the called party acknowledges receiving the call by transmitting a
DTMF “#” or “*” after answering the call.
3. Two-way, hands-free conversation can now occur.
Receiving a Call
Each RED ALERT®Telephone can be programmed to auto-answer an incoming call. When the auto-dial
telephone extension is dialed, the unit will automatically answer, generate a pair of triple “beep” tones,
and two-way, hands-free conversation can occur.
Disconnecting a Call
There are several methods by which a RED ALERT®Auto-dial Telephone can both manually and
automatically disconnect calls. The disconnect methods include the following:
Remote disconnect of a call – Called party transmits either a “##” or “*99” DTMF control
command.
Manual disconnect of a call – Press the CALL push button approximately 15 seconds after the initial
activation.
NOTE: Pressing the CALL push button a second time within 10 seconds of initially activating the
call will have no effect on the telephone’s operation. This prevents an anxious or hurried user from
disconnecting the call prematurely (this feature can be disabled).
Automatic disconnect:
-All calls; loop current-drop disconnect
-All calls; maximum call duration timeout (configurable from 1 minute to 4.5 hours)
-All voice calls; call progress tones (i.e., busy signal/fast busy, or reorder, tone) and, when enabled,
dial tone.
Refer to the “Programming” section of this manual for factory defaults and available options.
Location Identification Code Dialing
The Location Identification Code feature enables the called party to quickly and easily locate the source
of the auto-dial call. When the calling individual presses the CALL push button, the called party
(typically the security operator) presses the “*”button on their telephone. The AD Telephone detects the
“*” signal and transmits a three-digit, DTMF, location identification code. This location code can be
displayed on a customer-provided DTMF decoder/display.
Please refer to the “Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Programming” section on page 26.

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.
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Protection: Your telephone may have an earth ground terminal
provision. If so, ensure that it is connected to ground in accordance with all local safety regulations
and the National Electrical Code (NEC). Grounding has to be ensured for safe and stable
communications. Do not use long and coiled ground wires. Trim ground wires to the required
length. Use a star configuration whenever possible. 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 telephone installed where the telephone or telephone
cable is at risk of being exposed to lightning strikes. The lightning arrestor must be installed as close
to the telephone as possible to maximize the protection. It must not be installed within the enclosure
supplied with the telephone.
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.

General Installation Guidelines
As previously noted, the preferred system configuration is a dedicated telephone line per RED ALERT®
Telephone. This is an actual requirement when using TMA in its typical “polling” operation.
Although it is not recommended, a RED ALERT®Telephone can share a telephone line with another
RED ALERT®Telephone with the understanding that if two or more telephones are put into use
simultaneously the line current could drop sufficiently to disconnect the telephone call completely.
Additional “line sharing” or “party line” configuration issues could include sporadic telephone operation,
difficulties with programming, or premature disconnection of calls. Special system features (voice mail,
call waiting, etc.) could also create problems if not disabled. Successful shared line operation will depend
on the line current, the length of the cable run, and the condition of the telephone cable.
NOTE:A RED ALERT®Telephone should never be installed on the same telephone line as any
other (non-RED ALERT®) Telephone type.
When sharing a telephone line using TMA, the telephone must be scheduled to “call-in” instead of being
polled by TMA.
Security 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 security screws. A GAI-Tronics Model 233-001
Security Screwdriver or Torx T-25 security head tip (sold separately) is required for installing the
telephone.
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 whenever possible.
Sealed fittings should be installed at all cable entry points.
Silicone sealant or equivalent should be applied around and inside all conduit entries to prevent
moisture ingress.

Extreme Cold Temperature Option
RED ALERT®Auto-Dial Telephones equipped with the Extreme Cold Temperature Option (-AD3
models) are capable of operating to –40° C (non-option models are rated to –20° C). This option includes
two identifying features.
Each telephone is shipped with a plug-in power supply that requires a 120 V ac input to provide a 5 V dc
output to the unit. The power supply is a connectorized, 4-foot power cable that plugs into P17 on the
telephone PCBA. P17 must be vacated prior to plugging in the power supply. To do so, remove the
jumper from P17 pins 3 and 4 and plug it into the adjacent J18 header. Refer to Figure 11 for connector
locations.
In addition to the plug-in power supply, the –003AD models have had the standard tactile (moveable)
push button (CALL) replaced with non-tactile (non-moveable) push button. Using a non-moveable switch
eliminates the possibility of water or melting snow from forming and freezing behind the push button,
ultimately preventing the movement necessary for activation.

Auxiliary Output Control
As previously noted, each RED ALERT®Telephone is capable of providing two isolated control outputs
in the form of a dry (volt-free) contact closure rated at 125 mA.
Output 1 connects to TB2 on the telephone’s PCBA (refer to Figure 23). This output closes when an
auto-dial call begins (auto-dial CALL push button activation only) and remains in that state for the
duration of the telephone call. The typical use of this output is to activate the flashing sequence on a
