Hardware Installation
Talk-A-Phone phones are divided into two categories: 100-series indoor phones and
400-series outdoor phones. Outdoor phones are subdivided into surface mount and
flush mount. The ETP-103 Series is listed separately. Follow the installation procedure
listed below for your phone type.
Installation should be performed by qualified personnel only in accordance with the National
Electrical Code and other federal, state and local statutes and building codes. Using
shielded cable is recommended to avoid noise, hum, and other operational anomalies.
You will need a #10 spanner screwdriver or bit to complete this installation (except for
ETP-103 or ETP-100M series phones). If you do not own one, you may purchase one
from your local industrial supply store or from Talk-A-Phone. Contact your
Talk-A-Phone distributor for purchasing information.
A. 100 Series Indoor Phones
1. Plug the RJ11 connector on the cable extending from the unit into an RJ11
receptacle connected to the phone line (red is ring, green is tip).
2. If your phone has the AUX option, you have one auxiliary input and two auxiliary
outputs. The Black wire is the common wire. The auxiliary outputs are rated at a
maximum of 50 mA at 30V DC or AC.
a. The Brown and Black wires are the auxiliary input.
b. The Red and Black wires are auxiliary output #1.
c. The Orange and Black wires are auxiliary output #2.
If your phone has the AUX option and you choose not to use it, tape off the leads
to prevent shorting.
3. Place the phone in the desired location on the mounting surface and secure it
with included screws.
Talk-A-Phone model MS-400 Mounting Sleeve is designed to accommodate both indoor
and outdoor flush mounted phones. Contact your distributor or Talk-A-Phone Co. for more
information.
B. 400 Series Outdoor Surface Mount Phones (ETP-401, ETP-402, etc.)
Wiring extends from the rear of this unit (not bottom) for mounting to a pole or other
hollow surface. You cannot attach conduit directly to this phone. If you want to run
conduit directly to the phone, from either the back or the bottom, you should consider
purchasing the Talk-A-Phone ETP-SME Surface Mount Extension. Contact your
Talk-A-Phone distributor for purchasing information.
1. Remove the attached saddle bracket from the phone by unscrewing the four #10
spanner screws. DO NOT DISCARD THESE SCREWS.
2. Place the saddle bracket or ETP-SME in the desired location on the mounting
surface and secure with four screws.
3. Plug the RJ11 connector on the cable extending from the unit into an RJ11
receptacle connected to the phone line (red is ring, green is tip).
