General Information
The GAI-Tronics Model 400-001 and 400-002NS RigCom Stations are designed for a common-talk, or
master/slave communication system for the following hazardous locations: Model 400-001: Class I, Div.
I, Groups C and D; Model 400-002NS: Class I, Div. I, Groups B, C, and D, when installed in accordance
with GAI-Tronics Pub. 42004-381, Control Drawing #73214. The system provides push-to-talk, release-
to-listen operation, and has a local on/off volume control switch to activate and control the volume level
for each station independently.
The Model 400-001 includes an attached speaker and
driver unit. The Model 400-002NS does not include
the speaker and driver unit, but does have a 1/2-inch
NPT hole to remotely mount and connect the speaker
driver unit to the station.
The RigCom stations have connections for an
auxiliary microphone and footswitch connection for
remote operation from the station itself.
In this operation, the auxiliary microphone replaces
the speaker as the microphone and the auxiliary
footswitch provides the same functionality as the
push-to-talk switch. With the use of auxiliary items,
the approved hazardous locations are reduced to Class
I, Div. I, Group D.

Page 2: Important Safety Instructions
Model 400-001 and 400-002NS RigCom Stations Page: 2 of 22 The Model 400-001 and 400-002NS RigCom Stations are designed to be field replacements for the previous MS39xx Series RigCom stations. As a field replacement for the MS39xx Series, the Model 400 Series must be configured as an unbalanced station. -
Page 3: Installation
These enclosures must be installed by trained, qualified and competent personnel. Installation must comply with state and national regulations, as well as safety practices for this type of equipment. Model 400-001 and 400-002NS must be installed in accordance with GAI-Tronics Pub. 42004-381, Control Drawing # 73214. - Page 4 The enclosure must be securely fastened with 7/16 -inch diameter steel mounting bolts located on all four mounting feet. Stainless steel hardware is recommended for applications in corrosive environments. Refer to Figure 2 for mounting dimensions. Figure 2.

CAUTION RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT OPEN! Figure 3. Model 400-001 RigCom Station Outline Internal The enclosure contains a single PCBA where all customer connections are made. All connections are made to the front cover by a single wiring harness with a plug. - Page 6 Pub. 42004-376A Model 400-001 and 400-002NS RigCom Stations Page: 6 of 22 Wiring Station Wiring Attach the conduit or cable glands to the ¾ inch NPT holes on the bottom of the enclosure. Feed the low- voltage wiring conduit on the left side hole, from front view, and the power wiring through the right side hole, from front view.
- Page 7 Pub. 42004-376A Model 400-001 and 400-002NS RigCom Stations Page: 7 of 22 System Line Balance Each system requires termination of the audio pair wires with the 1 kΩ/1-watt resistor assembly included with each unit. The line balance resistor assembly is made for easy installation into the customer- supplied junction box.

Page 12: Operation
Pub. 42004-376A Model 400-001 and 400-002NS RigCom Stations Page: 12 of 22 Operation The operator has access to an on-off/volume control switch and the push-to-talk switch. The on-off/volume control switch allows the operator to turn the unit on or off and adjust the volume level in the listen mode. - Page 13 Pub. 42004-376A Model 400-001 and 400-002NS RigCom Stations Page: 13 of 22 Master/Slave System In the Master/Slave configuration, a Master station controls the talk-listen function of the Slave units through external control wiring. When the Master’s push-to-talk is not activated, the Slave stations are in talk mode allowing the Master to monitor the Slave’s audio.
