The telephones listed above must be weatherproofed before installation within a LITE Series Stanchion in
an unprotected outdoor environment. All stanchion components are housed in weatherproof boxes
(3R rating) or are completely sealed (IP 66 rating). Standard GAI-Tronics telephones do not have sealed
rear enclosures, and the stanchion body does not provide adequate protection. Weatherproofing can be
accomplished in two ways: by purchasing a sealed back box (Part No. 236-002) or by sealing the standard
GAI-Tronics back box.
N OTE : Steps 1 through 4 should be performed prior to wiring the stanchion body components to the rear
mounting plate.
1. Separate the back box from the telephone front panel.
2. If installing in an unprotected outdoor area, a sealed telephone back box must be used. Part No.
236-002 sealed back box can be purchased, or the supplied standard back box enclosure can be
sealed.
3. To seal the standard back box, run a sufficient bead of silicon caulk on both the inside and outside of
the enclosure’s four corners and seams. Ensure that all gaps are sealed.
4. The standard back box has a top and a bottom opening. Seal the supplied top hole plug to the back
box with silicone sealant. Attach a weatherproof cable bushing to the bottom enclosure hole for wire
entry. Additional entries can be placed on the bottom of the back box. Use the proper weatherproof
cable bushing for all wire entry. Indoor applications do not require sealing.
