PLANNING
REN, Weather Resistant telephones have a REN of 1.
The casing material is die cast aluminium alloy with epoxy powder paint. The Weather
Resistant telephone may be mounted on walls or posts (see INSTALLATION PARTS for the
appropriate kit). The telephone must be installed using the rustproof round head screws
together with the screw seals as supplied with the telephone (or similar). Whether wall or
post mounted the space requirements for the Weather Resistant telephone is 360x410x325 mm.
The dimensions quoted are; 360mm = height: 410mm = width with door opened 180 degrees:
325mm = depth with door opened 90 degrees. Closed specification is 360 x 193 x 114 mm. (H
x W x D) The Weather Resistant telephone is suitable for external locations but not for
use in 'Hazardous Areas' i.e. where flammable or explosive atmospheres or combustible
dusts may be present. Cable entry is via a standard 20mm conduit compression gland for
external type cables having a circular cross-section.
Appropriate precautions must be taken if any site specific safety hazards exist where
Weather Resistant Telephones are installed. Weather Resistant Telephones are line powered
and do not require any external power supplies. They are approved for direct connection to
the BT network or to extensions off PBX's.
There is no provision for accommodating a Line Box or Master Line Jack within the body of
the telephone and the telephone must be 'hard wired'. When used on a direct exchange line
it should be hard wired via the internal capacitor to complete the bell circuit. Cabling
may be provided by external type cable, Mineral Insulated cable or cabling in 20mm conduit
as appropriate to site conditions. The telephone has 2 x 2omm conduit entries which can
accommodate cable compression glands as required. If cables enter via a compression gland
the cable size should be appropriate for the sealing washer. Only one cable per gland,
which must be of circular cross-section.
The BT line must be isolated from the Weather Resistant telephone before working on the
instrument.
If it is not possible to fasten the telephone to a flat surface, it must be fixed to a
post using one of the three optional mounting kits available. if this is not possible, the
customer should be advised that a suitable position for fixing should be provided. On no
account should modifications be made to the instrument to facilitate fixing.
It will be beneficial if some assessment of the installation needs are made prior to the
installation visit. This will ensure that the required kits, special tools and any
additional fixing materials will be available.
INSTALLATION/COMMISSIONING
Installation
THE WEATHER RESISTANT TELEPHONE MUST BE
INSTALLED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS SUPPLIED WITH THE INSTRUMENT
The telephone will only be weather resistant when installed correctly. If the
installation has to be carried out in inclement weather, precautions should be taken to
ensure that the instrument is kept dry. Any moisture in the instrument during installation
will be trapped inside the instrument.
NOTE: Only the round-head screws as supplied with the kit (or similar) should be used. It is
essential that each screw is fitted with a soft sealing washer. All four screws must be
used: No screw hole to be left open.
Only one cable should enter via either compression gland and the gland size must be
appropriate for the cable diameter. If it is necessary for two cables to enter the
instrument the second compression gland must be used. The gland supplied is for use with
cables having a circular cross-sectional area with a diameter between 4.0 and 7.0 mm. If
the cable sizes are outside this range, compression glands should be purchased locally.
Three variants are available, as indicated below. They are known as; Nylon Compression
Glands M20 for cable range xx - xx millimetre.
Cable diameter xx - xx millimetre 4.0 - 7.0 mm (Glands as supplied) 7.0 - 10.5 mm 8.0 - 13.0 mm
The gland should be tightened using a suitable spanner or wrench. Care should be taken to
ensure the cable is not damaged by over tightening.
It is important that the connection of the Weather Resistant telephone case to conduit, MI
or armoured cable glands is carried out by a competent person; e.g. an approved electrical
contractor.
Care must be taken not to damage any weather proofing seals whilst installing the
telephone.
NOTE: Later Versions of the Weather Resistant Telephone are supplied with red seals fitted
into the four screw holes of the back-plate and the compression gland entry. These are
intended to prevent moisture entry prior to installation and must be removed during
installation.
Commissioning The signalling and recall switch(es) located inside the Weather Resistant Telephone are
not Customer accessible and must be set on installation.
The Weather Resistant Telephone is compatible with the current customer premises wiring
code and may be installed by the customer's Approved Installer/Maintainer, in accordance
with instructions supplied with the instrument. If the Weather Resistant telephone is to
be connected to a DEL, by the customer's Approved Installer/Maintainer, a NTE 5B must be
fitted by BT.
