Safety Guidelines
When installing any GAI-Tronics equipment, please adhere to the following guidelines to ensure the
safety of all personnel:
 Do not install wiring during a lightning storm.
 A Cat5 data line lightning surge protector is recommended for telephones subject to any electrostatic
discharge (e.g. lightning)
 Do not install jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically designed for wet locations.
Security Hardware
The Model 226-002 is vandal-resistant, with the front panel 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
recommended for installing the security screws. Models 341-001 and 351-001 Telephones’ front panels
are attached with standard Phillips head screws.
Conduit Installation Details (applicable to Models 341-001 & 351-001)
GAI-Tronics recommends installing telephone lines in conduit to protect against accidental damage and
vandalism and to meet applicable Div. 2 installation requirements. To prevent moisture from entering the
enclosure, we strongly recommend the following:
 Conduit should enter the enclosure from the bottom.
 If entered from the top, the conduit must be internally sealed to prevent moisture ingress.
 Sealed fittings should be installed at all cable entry points.
 Silicone sealant or equivalent must be applied around and inside all conduit entries.
Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2.
