two to possibly hundreds of stations. Available in several forms, each station includes a handset, two
amplifiers (one for the handset and the other to drive one or more paging speakers), associated controls,
and a paging speaker (usually mounted separately). All stations are wired in parallel and additional
stations may be added at any time.

station locations carefully, taking convenience, accessibility, and personal safety into account. The
quantity and location of paging speakers must be carefully considered, particularly in areas of high
ambient noise or reverberation. The speaker amplifier built into each station drives one horn-loaded page
speaker. If additional paging speakers are needed, separate speaker amplifiers can be added to the
system. In quiet areas, such as offices, several paging speakers can be connected to a single station.
Please refer to Pub. 42004-135, Speaker Installation, or consult with a GAI-Tronics sales representative
for additional system planning information.
All units are wired in parallel. Good planning will minimize the cable required for each installation.
GAI-Tronics Corporation can supply multi-conductor cable designed especially for this application. The
number, size and color-coding of conductors are listed in the accompanying system connection diagrams.
Standard cable has 600-volt insulation and is UL-rated for power cable tray use. Additionally, for ease of
installation GAI-Tronics' cable is color-coded to match the termination points in our enclosures. The
maximum standard cable length is 5250 feet (1600m) from the Line Balance Assembly systems. For non-
standard cable, please contact a GAI-Tronics representative.
The cable described above includes conductors to provide ac operating power to each station. All stations
operate from a common source, enhancing reliability, particularly if no other ac load is placed on the
circuit breaker or branch line feeding the system. This configuration also allows easy transfer to an
emergency power source in the event of power failure. However, if preferred, each station may be
individually powered from a nearby nominal 115 volt, 50 or 60 Hz single phase outlet.
