1. Safety and Care Information

▲ The safety of the user/installer relies on the isolation of the telephone network and not on the earthing of the case

▲ The spring-loaded door (Titan models only, where fitted) can close sharply. Take care not to trap fingers etc., during installation and use.

▲ Please read these instructions thoroughly before starting installation.

These products must be installed by competent personnel familiar with telephone installation.

▲ Telephone network voltages can be hazardous. Take adequate precautions when opening the case or installing. If in doubt, disconnect the telephone line elsewhere before accessing the line connections.

▲ For increased protection against lightning transients, attach a local earth to the main terminal block (see section 6)

This manual describes the CB versions of the Titan and Commander telephone ranges. The term “CB” originally stood for “central battery”, but in modern terms means a telephone with no dialling or signalling capability – it can only seize the line or ring. Although functionally and electrically identical,

(i.e. the operation and connection details are common), Titan and

Commander differ physically, so the installation and mounting details are described separately.

This manual describes an updated range of products (called ‘1064’ models) introduced in March 2005. For those familiar with GAI-Tronics’ products, the list of new or changed features is as follows:

• New terminal layout (section 6.1).

• Increased lightning protection (section 8).

• Handset integrity alert option (section 3.2).

• No separate Cap-Shunt link (ringing is permanently enabled).

• Compliance with ETSI European telephony standards (previous versions were to British standards) section 8.

• Compliance with railway EMC standards (section 8)

• Second hookswitch option (section 6.2)

For the full list of product features, please see the specifications in section 8.

Titan CB, Commander CB 3

Titan is a family of rugged, weather-resistant metal-bodied telephones available with a range of handset types, keypad configurations, colours and enclosures, based around a common faceplate style.

Most Titans are equipped with a heavy-duty spring-loaded door, but models are available without door and also as faceplate only, for flush mounting.

Titan doors may be fitted with slamlocks opened by an 8mm square socket key.

4

Commander is a family of rugged, weather-resistant telephones manufactured from moulded glass-reinforced polyester. A range of handset types and keypad configurations are available.

Titan CB, Commander CB

3. Operation / Testing

The CB telephone has no buttons and no means of dialling or signalling.

It can only be used to make calls where calls are routed by the exchange, for example the BT Direct Connect service or PABXs or concentrators specifically configured to do so. Seek assistance from your telephone service provider or infrastructure maintainer to configure this facility.

To make a call, lift the handset. The exchange should establish the call.

When the other party answers, two way speech is possible.

To end the call, replace the handset on its cradle.

To answer a call, wait for ringing (a loud, two-tone warble), then lift the handset. Two way speech should be possible as before, and the call is ended by replacing the handset.

The phone has a selectable call timer that can limit the maximum call duration to approximately 7 minutes.

When on, the timer forces the phone back off line after the preset time. This prevents the line remaining tied if the handset is left off-hook. The timer is factory-set to OFF by default.

3.2. Handset integrity alert

If configured, this feature will disable the call timer if the handset integrity loop is broken. This means that, if the handset is detached (for example by vandalism), the telephone will remain permanently on line even if the call timer is on.

This provides a method of alerting the signal box or control centre that the handset is damaged and needs urgent attention.

WARNING: this option should only be used on PABXs or concentrators configured to expect the alert condition. Not for use on the PSTN.

This is a factory-configured option. Telephones with this option have an internal label marked “Handset Integrity Alert, the call timer is disabled if the handset integrity loop is broken”.

4. Installation

4.1. General

IMPORTANT

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 the telephone in inclement weather conditions or by negligence.

Failure to do so may invalidate your warranty.

These telephones are supplied without connection leads – cabling to the telephone network must be supplied and installed by the installer. Because of this, extra precautions must be observed: installers must ensure that they have the permission of the owner of the PABX or telephone network to which the telephone is to be connected, and that installation is carried out by trained personnel. Contact GAI-Tronics if installation service is required.

IMPORTANT

Installation details differ between the TITAN and COMMANDER product ranges –please make sure you know which product you are installing and refer to the appropriate sections below.

These telephones are not capable of dialling, and therefore cannot make direct calls to the emergency services unless the exchange is configured to do so. Check with your telephone service provider or infrastructure maintainer whether it is necessary to warn users that emergency calls cannot be made from this telephone, and if so provide a suitable warning notice. A warning label, which can be fixed to the front of the telephone, is provided.

4.3. Titan

1. To prepare for installation, open the door (where fitted), then undo the four retaining screws to remove the faceplate from the rear enclosure. A

3mm Allen key is required. Do not remove the plastic cover on the back of the faceplate.

Caution – take care to support the spring-loaded door whilst open to prevent it slamming shut and trapping fingers.

2. All connections and option settings are on the rear of the faceplate towards the lower edge.

5.1. General

IMPORTANT

Installation details differ between the TITAN and COMMANDER product ranges –please make sure you know which product you are installing and refer to the appropriate sections below.

Before mounting the telephone, check the cable routing and requirements. If glands are required, fit them to the case as follows:

1. Remove the RED blanking plug leaving the other (usually BLACK) in place.

Titan CB, Commander CB 7

Only fit a second gland if a separate cable is required to the phone (for example for an additional hook contact).

2. Select the appropriate sized gland:

Use the smaller gland for cables diameters 4 - 7mm.

Use the larger gland for cable diameters 8 - 13mm.

3. From the outside of the case, insert the selected gland into the threaded cable entry hole and tighten, so that its sealing washer is compressed against the enclosure surface.

4. Proceed with chosen mounting method below

5.2. Titan

As standard, Titan with rear enclosure is supplied with 2 cable glands with sealing washers, 4 countersunk screws with wall plugs and a 3mm Allen key.

Titan telephones supplied for flush mounting have no rear enclosure – see section 5.2.3 below.

1. Using a suitable tool, punch out the 4 holes in the rear enclosure, taking care not to damage or dislodge the plastic bushes. Only four

Titan CB, Commander CB

of the eight holes are required - the outer ones are recommended.

The inner holes are provided to be compatible with older-style mounting posts, and should be left intact if not used. If the inner holes are used they must be fitted with the supplied plastic bushes.

WARNING:.Your warranty will be invalidated if :-

1. Any fixing hole made in the rear enclosure is left unused.

2. Any additional holes are drilled into the telephone enclosure.

3. Plastic bushes are not used on all fixing holes.

2. Mark the wall with hole centres based on the dimensions shown

(145 x 270mm). If necessary offer the rear enclosure up to the wall to check alignment. Do not use the enclosure as a template for drilling.

3. Drill holes in the wall on the marked positions. Select appropriate screws, wall plugs etc., for the type of wall, bearing in mind that the weight of the complete phone is around 5kg.

IMPORTANT : USE ONLY countersunk-headed fixing screws. Check that screws seat properly in the plastic bushes to ensure a watertight seal. Do not use excessive tightening force, as this may crack the case.

4. Ensure that all four plastic flanged bushes are in place and the rear enclosure is screwed tightly to the surface to prevent any water ingress through the punched holes.

5. Complete the installation by making the appropriate connections

(section 6) and re-fitting the face plate.

This accessory 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.

NOTE:

Banding straps (large scale worm-drive clamps) are not included in this kit and must be obtained separately. For details of where banding can be obtained, refer to GAI-Tronics.

1. After punching through the flanged bushes in the rear enclosure (as described in

WALL MOUNTING

), attach the pole mounting clamp assemblies to the rear enclosure using the M6 x 25 screws provided. Tighten to a torque of 4.5Nm max.

Note: only use the outer four holes, and ensure that the screws seat properly in the plastic bushes to avoid water ingress.

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. Continue the installation by making the appropriate connections

(section 6) and re-fitting the face plate.

4. 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.

Titan telephones supplied for flush mounting have a slightly different faceplate to those supplied with a rear enclosure – in particular the fixing holes are in different positions and there are no corner cut-outs (for door hinges). These models are usually described as “Titan fp” and the supplied mounting kit contains round-headed screws and no glands.

Titan CB, Commander CB

To flush-mount the telephone to a wall:

1. Prepare a recess (at least 50mm deep) in the wall according to the dimensions shown.

2. Mark the wall with hole centres based on the dimensions shown

(155 x 326mm). If necessary offer the faceplate up to the wall to check alignment. Do not use the telephone as a template for drilling.

3. Drill holes in the wall at the marked positions. Select appropriate screws, wall plugs etc., for the type of wall, bearing in mind that the weight of the complete phone is around 1.5kg.

4. Route the cable to within the recess, and make connections to the telephone as shown in section 6.

5. Secure the telephone to the wall taking care not to trap any wires.

Note that the gasket on the rear of the faceplate is intended to make a weather seal when compressed against a smooth surface. Do not rely on this gasket to keep water out if mounting directly to rough surfaces such as brickwork – in these cases use additional sealant around the edges to ensure a weatherproof seal.

Titan CB, Commander CB 11

5.3. Commander

To ensure weatherproof integrity when wall mounted, external cables should enter the enclosure from the bottom via the 20mm gland entries provided.

IMPORTANT:

Do not drill any extra holes as this will invalidate your warranty.

1. Remove rubber feet from the Rear Casing if fitted. 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, doing so may damage the case and will invalidate your warranty.
