Installing the WRT-A
•
•
WRT-A telephones shall be installed by qualified service personnel.
See: Figure 3 - Setting
Dialing Mode &
Installation
The WRT-A is set to tone dialing when shipped. If pulse dialing is required
see the section on Setting Dialing Mode.
•
•
•
•
Follow all appropriate electrical codes and use only approved electrical
fittings for the installation.
See: Figure 2 - Overall
Dimensions
Choose a wall location that is free of obstructions and permits space for
wiring.
Ensure mounting can support 6.5 lbs (2.95 kg) plus any additional,
foreseeable load.
Ensure that none of the electrical connection circuits are live.
Mounting
•
Use the template or the unit itself to locate and drill holes for mounting
screws.
•
Secure the unit to the wall.
Hard Wiring the WRT-A to the Telephone System
•
•
•
Remove the wiring access cover plate.
Install a suitable conduit hub or cable gland in the cable entrance hole.
Bring cable into the enclosure through the cable entrance and attach
individual wires from the exchange – Tip/Ring/Ground – to the surge
arrestor (Tip & Ring are not polarity sensitive).
WARNING
Protective earthing terminal of the phone shall be properly hardwired
to a protective earth system.
•
Replace the wiring access cover plate.
Final Check
•
Check the set visually for loose screws and trapped wires. Check that the
handset hangs freely in the cradle and that the handset cord is not trapped
by the door.
•
•
Check that the faceplate is snug to its gasket, paying particular attention to
the area around the cradle. Check that the door closes flush to the housing.
Test the unit by calling to and from another unit on the exchange.
Operation
•
Once your Model WRT-A Telephone has been properly installed and
energized, operation is identical to most other single line telephones.
WARNING
Due to magnetic fields, it is possible that dangerous objects may get trapped
within the earcap region of this device.

Setting Dialing Mode
The WRT-A is shipped from the factory set for DTMF (Tone) dialing mode. If
loop disconnect (Pulse) dialing is required proceed as follows.
See: Figure 3 - Setting
Dialing Mode &
Installation
•
Loosen the five captive screws in the faceplate and swing the faceplate to
the left. If the set is on a vertical surface the faceplate will stay open like a
book in this position. Take care not to disturb the internal wiring.
•
•
•
Change the position of the Tone/Pulse jumper on the circuit board to Pulse,
as indicated on the label.
The set will now be in pulse dialing mode, it can be returned to tone mode
by changing the position of the jumper back to the Tone position.
Carefully replace the front plate and install all five screws. Do not over
tighten the cover screws, there is a flexible gasket between the cover and
the body. Excessive tightening of the screws deforms the gasket and
reduces the weather resistance of the set.

•
•
Disconnect the telephone from Tip and Ring power supplied by the PABX
or central office before attempting repairs.
See: Figure 4 - Fuse
Replacement
Loosen the five captive screws in the faceplate and swing the faceplate to
the left. If the set is on a vertical surface the faceplate will stay open like a
book in this position. Take care not to disturb the internal wiring.
•
•
Perform the necessary repairs or adjustments.
Note: Ensure that
connections are secure
before replacing
faceplate.
Carefully replace the front plate and install all five screws. Do not over
tighten the cover screws, there is a flexible gasket between the cover and
the body. Excessive tightening of the screws deforms the gasket and
reduces the weather resistance of the set.
Fuse Replacement
•
Remove the old fuse by pushing in the end cap of the fuse holder and
turning counterclockwise to open. Insert a new 0.25 amp, 250Volt, 3AG
fast blow fuse and close the fuse holder.
WARNING!
•
Replace only with a 0.25 amp 250V 3AG fast blow fuse. Failure to do so
will void the warranty.
•
If, on reconnecting power, the fuse fails, check the telephone system
wiring. The fuse protects the Tip and Ring line from the telephone system.
It is usually powered at 48 volts DC and must not be connected to 120 volts
AC.

Government Certification
Attached to the telephone is a label for the Australian Communications Authority. This identifies
equipment certifications indicating the WRT-A series telephones meet certain telecommunications
network protective, operational and safety requirements. This agency does not guarantee the
equipment will operate to the user's satisfaction.
Before installing this telephone equipment, users should ensure it is permissible to connect the
equipment to facilities of the local telecommunications company.
Equipment must be installed using acceptable connection methods. In some cases, the telephone
users inside wiring, associated with a single line service, may be extended by a certified connector
assembly (telephone extension cord). The customer should be aware that in some situations
compliance with the above conditions may not prevent degradation of service.
Repairs to certified equipment should be made by a supplier designated authorized maintenance
facility.
For their own protection users should ensure the electrical ground connections of the power utility,
telephone lines and internal metallic water pipe systems, if present, are connected. This precaution
may be particularly important in rural areas.
CAUTION: Users should not attempt to make ground connections, but should contact the appropriate
electrical inspection authority or electrician.
Notification to Telephone Company
Upon request, the customer must notify the telephone company of the particular line to which the
connection will be made and provide the Australian Communications Authority registration number. The
local telephone company may request disconnection of the telephone where alterations or malfunctions
affect the telephone’s performance.
ACA Rules and Ringer Equivalence Number
This equipment complies with the regulation AS/ACIF S002:2001 Australian Standard Analogue
internetworking and non-interference requirements for customer equipment for connection to public
switched telephone networks. On the side of this equipment is a label that contains, among other
information, the ACA registration number and ringer equivalence number (REN) for this equipment. If
requested, this information must be provided to the telephone company.
The REN is used to determine the quantity of devices which may be connected to the telephone line.
Excessive RENs on the telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming
call. In most, but not all areas, the sum of the RENs should not exceed three. To be certain of the
number of devices that may be connected to the line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the
telephone company to determine the maximum REN for the calling area.
Service changes and Limitations
The telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations, or procedures that
could affect the operation of the equipment. If this happens, the telephone company will provide
advance notice in order for you to make the necessary modifications in order to maintain uninterrupted
service.
This equipment can not be used on public coin telephone service as provided by your telephone
company. Connection to party line service is subject to state tariffs (contact the state public utility
commission, public service commission or corporate commission for information.)

Guardian Product Return
Guardian products have been quality tested and are in full working order when shipped from
the factory, given the rugged nature of these products shipping is not expected to damage a
unit. In the unlikely event of a malfunction, Guardian follows the three step procedure below.
Step I - On-Site Correction
•
•
•
The most common source of difficulties with a new product is improper installation in one of
two ways: incorrect wiring connections or connection to an incorrect power source.
Product wiring needs to be properly connected to the on-site wiring. Correct wiring
instructions are shown in the user manual included with the product.
Connecting a telephone to a standard power source, rather than tip & ring, will blow the
telephone’s internal, user-replaceable fuse. In the event of fuse burn-out, disconnect the
telephone from the power source, replace the fuse, and reconnect following the wiring
diagrams provided with the product.
Step II - Return Materials Authorization (RMA)
•
•
•
When a product has been installed following user manual instructions, and the unit fails to
operate, the user must contact the Service Number indicated on the previous page, to
obtain authorization to return the product.
After providing information on the product, the owner and the nature of the problem,
Guardian will issue a RMA number, to be shown on documentation returned with the
product.
In addition to the RMA number, shipping documents should include name, address and
telephone number of the owner along with contact information for the person responsible
for the repair and/or the user who identified the malfunction.
Step III - Factory Authorized Service
•
Once received, each product is carefully inspected and tested. If the product is under
warranty, repairs are completed and the product returned to the owner, generally within
five working days of receipt.
•
A product that has been subjected to misuse, neglect or accident or is beyond the warranty
period will be evaluated. The service department will provide the owner’s representative
with a repair cost estimate. Once approved, repairs are completed and the product
returned, generally within five working days.
