Block Diagram
Figure 5. Model 670-801 Block Diagram
As shown on Figure 5, P1 is the 16-pin male connector located on the back of the Base-16 PCBA. It
plugs into the socket located inside the cast aluminum enclosure. The socket provides connection to the
multi-party cable containing the page/party lines and ac power.
The Base-16 PCBA conducts ac power to the Bias Power Supply PCBA through connector J6 and
receives +5 V dc and +/-15 V dc in return. The Base-16 PCBA uses the bias supplies and also passes
them (as well as control, monitoring, and line signals) to the FSK Modem PCBA via J1, a 24-pin stacking
connector. Connector J2 on the Base-16 PCBA connects the speaker transformer for the station’s external
speaker, and J3 connects optional external devices.

Model 670-801-EX and 670-801-UL SmartSeries Amplifiers
Installation
Before installing SmartSeries equipment, design the system layout taking into consideration personnel
safety, operational function and convenience, and power cable length. In general, for 115 V ac systems
the total power cable length should not exceed 1 mile (1.6 km), but the length of cable between the
stations is not a critical factor.
However, it is a good practice to run a separate power feed to each station located in hazardous areas.
With a separate feed, individual stations can be de-energized for service or maintenance without affecting
the power supply and operation of the other stations in the hazardous area.
Mounting
NOTE: The mounting surface must be able to support 55 lbs (25 kg).
1. Remove the front panel. Allow the front panel to hang from the rear of the enclosure by means of
two retaining straps during installation. The straps serve as personnel safety feature and as a
safeguard designed to ensure the front panel flame path is not nicked, dented or otherwise damaged
while mounting the enclosure.
2. To maintain the explosion-proof integrity of the enclosure, all mounting hardware is located in non-
intrusive mounting holes under the front panel. The suggested mounting height of the station is 54
inches (137cm). Use standard 1/2-inch socket head cap screws or M12 bolts to secure the enclosure
to a flat mounting surface. See Figure 6 below for mounting hole dimensions.
Figure 6. Shows mounting holes with dimensions.
3. After the enclosure is securely mounted, remove the plug-in amplifier:
•
•
•
Remove the four screws that secure the amplifier to the standoffs, and retain.
Pull the amplifier straight toward you to disengage the 16-pin connector from the enclosure.
Set the amplifier aside in a safe place while completing the installation.
NOTE: The following instructions are provided to ensure compliance with the appropriate approval
standards. Select the version that applies to the equipment you have purchased based on approval agency
jurisdiction.

Operation
This unit amplifies page audio for broadcast over external speaker(s).
Adjustments
CAUTION
It is necessary to open the explosion-proof enclosure to make adjustments. Make adjustments only
when the conditions at your facility are such that no explosive atmospheres can be present.
This assembly includes one control that permits adjustments to be made while the assembly is mounted in
its enclosure but with the bolted cover removed. In addition there are several internal controls that are
accessible only by removing the assembly from its enclosure.
There is a user adjustment for setting the speaker amplifier gain for the SmartVolume™ feature, which
has three components: Minimum Level, Offset Level, and VLC Level. Although they typically require no
adjustments, these volume levels can be set with the User Level Adjustment control (labeled USER
ADJ). Use a small flat-blade screwdriver with an insulated shaft at least 4 inches long to make
adjustments.
To access the USER ADJ control, perform the following steps:
1. Unbolt and remove the front enclosure cover revealing the speaker amplifier.
2. Loosen (do not remove) the two screws that secure the nameplate.
3. Pivot the nameplate counterclockwise, exposing the access hole.
A guide behind the access hole helps direct the screwdriver to the USER ADJ control.
4. When you are done with the adjustment, pivot the nameplate clockwise into position, then tighten the
two screws. Re-install the bolted cover.
Minimum Level
The Minimum Level adjustment sets the minimum output of the speaker amplifier. The amplifier can be
set from minimum to full output (12 watts into 8 ohms) in 100 discrete steps, or no output. The factory
default is step 20, providing 4 watts.
To adjust the Minimum Level, perform the following steps:
1. Turn USER ADJ fully counterclockwise and wait to hear a single beep over the associated speaker.
This switches the speaker amplifier into the Minimum Level adjustment mode. If there is an audio
signal on the page line when the amplifier enters this mode, you hear it over the associated speaker.
Otherwise, you hear an amplifier-generated test tone.
2. Turn USER ADJ clockwise to the desired minimum speaker volume level.
The amplifier remains in the Minimum Level adjustment mode for as long as USER ADJ is varying.
After USER ADJ has remained stable for five seconds, the amplifier returns to its normal operating
mode.

Page: 11 of 15
Model 670-801-EX and 670-801-UL SmartSeries Amplifiers
Offset Level
The Offset Level adjustment causes the speaker amplifier to maintain a set difference between the
ambient level and the speaker output level. The SmartVolume™ feature measures the ambient noise at
the associated speaker and adds the Offset Level to set the speaker amplifier gain. This keeps page
announcements louder than the ambient noise. The Offset Level can be set from 0 dB (the speaker output
level is the same as the ambient level) to 49 dB. A speaker should be set for 6 to 10 dB louder than the
ambient noise, so the factory default is 9 dB.
To adjust the Offset Level, perform the following steps:
NOTE: There must be enough ambient noise for the amplifier to sense. The exact level depends upon the
speaker type, but it is typically approximately 80 dB.
1. Turn USER ADJ fully clockwise and wait to hear two beeps over the associated speaker.
This switches the amplifier into the Offset Level adjustment mode. If there is an audio signal on the
page line when the amplifier enters this mode, you hear it over the speaker. Otherwise, you hear an
amplifier-generated test tone.
2. Turn USER ADJ counterclockwise to the desired speaker volume level.
The amplifier remains in the Offset Level adjustment mode for as long as USER ADJ is varying.
After USER ADJ has remained stable for five seconds, the amplifier returns to its normal operating
mode.
VLC Level
The VLC Level adjustment sets the speaker amplifier gain for the Page Priority VLC feature to provide
an emergency output level. The amplifier can be set from minimum to full output (12 watts into 8 ohms)
in 100 discrete steps, or to no output. The factory default is step 10, but the System VLC Control feature
is disabled.
To adjust the VLC Level, perform the following steps:
1. Have an assistant page from a station that forces the amplifier being adjusted into VLC mode.
2. Turn USER ADJ fully counterclockwise and wait to hear two beeps over the amplifier’s associated
speaker.
This switches the amplifier into the VLC Level adjustment mode.
3. Turn USER ADJ clockwise to the desired speaker volume level.
The amplifier remains in the VLC Level adjustment mode for as long as USER ADJ is varying. After
USER ADJ has remained stable for five seconds, the amplifier returns to its normal operating mode.
Internal Adjustments
This assembly includes additional internal control, the FSK Transmit Level, which affects system
performance. Therefore, only qualified GAI-Tronics personnel with the appropriate test equipment
should make any adjustments. The function and location are included for information only. Tampering
with this control may void your warranty.
FSK Transmit Level
The control labeled XMIT LEVEL adjusts the level of the frequency shift keying (FSK) signal transmitted
to the page line.

Maintenance
In order to verify and ensure explosion-proof integrity, perform regular preventive maintenance and
inspection checks on the GAI-Tronics explosion-proof stations. The GAI-Tronics Field Service
Department can formulate a service contract to suit specific preventive maintenance needs.
CAUTION
Remove power from the enclosure before performing any maintenance.
Use the following procedures to ensure reliable operation of your equipment:
1. Remove power from the enclosure.
2. Unbolt the cover. Remove the amplifier from the enclosure.
3. Visually check the interior of the enclosure for signs of contamination. Contamination inside the
enclosure could mean that the conduit seals or cable gland seals have been compromised.
4. Ensure the gasket and hardware are in place and in good condition. Reinstall the amplifier and
enclosure cover. Restore power to the unit.
In certain circumstances, it may be necessary to re-terminate some or all of the enclosures in a system.
When this is done, strip the wires back to clean copper, and make wire connections to each terminal.
If contaminants from the plant atmosphere have entered the enclosure, clean the interior. Often, a solvent
contact cleaner is not strong enough to wash away the buildup. If this occurs, try the following steps:
1. Disconnect power from the enclosure.
2. Disconnect all wires from the terminal strip inside the box.
3. Spray the interior of the enclosure with a heavy-duty, surfactant-type, water-based industrial cleaner.
Heavy concentrations of contaminants may be scrubbed with a scrub pad or a soft brush.
4. Rinse the interior of the box with a water spray, and blow out any excess water using compressed air.
5. Apply a coating of water-displacement solution followed by contact cleaner and compressed air.
6. Strip wires back to clean copper before reconnections.
7. Reinstall the amplifier and enclosure cover. Reapply the power.
Troubleshooting
The following suggestions are provided to aid a technician in troubleshooting.
Problem
Solution
Feedback during page of nearby
handset station.
