General Information

GAI-Tronics Corporation offers intrinsically-safe (I.S.) telephones and isolation barrier units (IBU),

which conform to all pertinent requirements in the USA and Canada. For convenience, a telephone and

an IBU can be purchased together under a single model number: Model 261-001 for indoor use, and

Model 271-001 for outdoors.

However, for rack-mount configurations or special applications, the telephones and IBUs can be

purchased separately:

•Model 262-001 Indoor I.S. Phone

•Model 272-001 Outdoor I.S. Phone

•Model 263 Isolation Barrier Unit

The I.S. telephones are designed to be installed in all hazardous areas. The IBU or rack-mount card unit

is placed in a non-hazardous area up to one mile from the phone, limiting the energy levels going to the

hazardous area to conform to intrinsically-safe requirements.

The Model 263 Isolation Barrier Unit is constructed of durable glass-reinforced polyester, which is highly

resistant to chemicals and weather, and is rated Type 3R (rainproof).

Installation

Installation Guidelines

When installing any GAI-Tronics telephone equipment, please adhere to the following guidelines to

ensure the safety of all personnel:

•NEVER install telephone wiring during a lightning storm.

•Install a UL Listed lightning arrestor on any phone installed where the phone or phone cable is at

risk of being exposed to lightning strikes. The lightning arrestor must be installed as close to the

phone as possible to maximize the protection. The lightning arrestor must not be installed within the

enclosure supplied with the phone.

•NEVER install telephone jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically designed for wet

locations.

•NEVER touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been

disconnected at the network interface.

•USE CAUTION when installing or modifying telephone lines.

•Install UL Listed telephone line suppressor (customer-supplied) on the telephone line.

•Use silicone sealant or equivalent around and inside all conduit entries

Installation of the IBU

The Model 263 Isolation Barrier Unit provides an intrinsically-safe circuit when connected in accordance

with GAI-Tronics Pub. 42004-380, Control Drawing 73242. It must be installed in a non-hazardous

location. See Figure 1 for a typical installation.

The Model 263 Isolation Barrier Unit interior includes a power switch selector, a ring pitch adjustment,

and four troubleshooting LEDs. The IBU housing is composed of two modular subassemblies, the front

panel and the rear enclosure assembly, for easy installation and wiring.

Wiring Requirements

Design Limits

In order to be intrinsically safe, energy and energy storage must be constrained to “safe” levels in

hazardous area apparatus. Wiring inherently has capacitance formed by a dielectric material between two

conductors. A buildup of this capacitance can form a surge of electricity, a dangerous situation in a

hazardous area.

Intrinsically-safe telephones require cabling that will limit the amount of capacitance formed. The

limitation on cable length was set by Underwriter’s Laboratory (UL) based on test results. This “worst

case” cable available was found to have a capacitance of 60 picofarads/foot. Therefore, UL set the cable

limitation at one mile, the length at which this worst-case cable capacitance level was still within

acceptable bounds. Cable types with less capacitance have been specified to allow connection distances

over one mile.

For example: GAI-Tronics Model 60059-001 and 60021-301 cables allow connection distances of up to

1.5 miles.

Shielded Cable

Where multiple I.S. telephone wires are routed together, shielded cable should be used. The use of

shielded cable prevents cross-talk from occurring between multiple I.S. telephone circuits. The shield

must be grounded to an I.S. ground and connected only at the IBU.

Wiring Guidelines/ControlDrawing

The Model 263 provides an intrinsically-safe circuit when installed in accordance with GAI-Tronics Pub.

42004-380, Control Drawing 73242. In addition, the NEC and the CEC provide additional installation

details that are recommended for safe installation.

System Setup

GAI-Tronics recommends taking the following steps to ensure a safe and trouble-free installation:

1. Install the Model 263 Isolation Barrier Unit (IBU) and wire it completely, except for the hazardous

area signal wires.

WARNING The unit must be wired in accordance with Pub. 42004-380, Control

Drawing 73242, to ensure intrinsic safety.

2. Next, temporarily connect the I.S. telephone to the IBU with a short pair of conductors, and operate

the unit by making a test phone call. If any problems are detected, see the Troubleshooting section.

3. Call the I.S. telephone from another telephone, and adjust the RING PITCH (located on the IBU) to

the desired pitch. See Figure 2 for location.

4. Disconnect the I.S. telephone and install it in the intended permanent location.

WARNING The unit must be wired in accordance with Pub. 42004-380, Control

Drawing 73242, to ensure intrinsic safety.

5. Make a call from the I.S. telephone. If any problems are detected, see the Troubleshooting section.

Mounting

1. Remove the front panel by loosening the four front captive screws.

2. Refer to Figure 3. Determine which of the conduit locations is to be used. Drill spots have been

provided for use with a chassis punch or hole saw. Using a hole saw is recommended.

3. One 0.280-inch diameter hole is located in each corner of the rear enclosure. Install the rear

enclosure to a wall of an appropriate surface through the supplied mounting holes.

4. Refer to Pub. 42004-380, Control Drawing 73242, for wiring details.

NOTE:Telephone system wire must be connected to the Isolation Barrier Unit only and not directly

to the I.S. telephone. Battery backup connection is not required for operation of the Model 262-001

and 272-001 I.S. Phones. If battery backup is desired, please consult the factory for specifications.

5. Apply power and test telephone operation.

6. Refer to the Troubleshooting section of problems are detected.

When proper operation has been verified, replace the cover and secure it by tightening the four captive

screws.

Maintenance

This section includes two troubleshooting charts designed to quickly pinpoint the source of problems.

Troubleshooting

NOTE:It may be advantageous to temporarily connect an I.S. telephone panel directly to the output

terminals of the Model 263 IBU when troubleshooting. Then, using the charts below, the cause of the

problem should be more easily determined.

Non-EquipmentRelated Problems

Problem Solution

The I.S. phone is inactive with

no lights on the IBU when the

phone is off-hook.

1. Check the ac power to the Model 263 IBU.

2. Check the ac fuse F4 at the Model 263 IBU.

3. Ensure there is no wiring open at the I.S. phone.

1. If the I.S. phone has a wiring short, the IBU lights will be lit in

the following pattern: O= On, P= Off

Lightning Protection

Telephone lines are susceptible to lightning strikes and must be properly protected and maintained. On-

premise line protection is usually provided at the building entrance by the responsible telephone company

when it is installed. This protection is often neglected after installation.

Degradation of conventional protection, such as carbon blocks or gas discharge types, will occur with

each lightning strike. To ensure safe operation, protective elements should be replaced frequently and

checked for proper connection and grounding. Gas discharge types are by far the most robust, cost-

effective means of protection.

The registered I.S. equipment meets all isolation and safety requirements of FCC, Part 68, DOC CS-03,

UL 913, and CSA C22.2-No. 157. However, lightning strikes are not predictable or considered to be a

condition of fault likely to occur in practice as defined by the guidelines for intrinsic safety. Therefore, it

is imperative that the user employ and maintain a proper lightning protection scheme. This is true for all

hazardous area equipment and all telecommunications equipment subject to lightning.
