1 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The A103 telephone is an intrinsically safe telephone designed for use in mining applications. It has been design to be a direct replacement for the now obsolete A101 and A102 telephone. The A103 telephone comprises of a carbon loaded glass filled polyester telephone encased in a metallic surround which also contain the customer termination box referred to as the terminal chamber throughout this document.
