5.3 Connection to alarm button
1.
Route a two-wire cable (max 10 m) from the lift’s alarm button and connect the wires
to the lift phone’s terminal block at ”ALARM1” or “ALARM2”.
2.
Fasten the cable with cable ties or cable clips on the outside of the lift.
Note that the alarm button in the lift car is normally double-breaking, i.e. made for two sepa-
rate connections, one of them usually connected to a local alarm bell and the other one used
for the lift phone. The connections must have 1500V isolation. If they are not, or if the existing
alarm button only has one connection, the button must be replaced with another type.
Please note that the Fältcom ECII® Flex has a special version called “ALBU”, with an inte-
grated alarm button which can be used if there is no suitable alarm button available in the lift.
That version has a double breaking alarm button where one part (NC) is used for the lift
phone and the other part (NO) can be used for the alarm bell.
5.3.1 Closing alarm button function
Note that the alarm button may have a closing or breaking function. Breaking function is to be
preferred and is the default setting in Fältcom ECII® Flex. If the button has closing function,
the lift phone must be programmed to handle this. See section
mation.
5.3.2 Separate alarm button(s)
If there is no alarm button in the lift car, a separate button must be installed. Note that in order
to avoid misunderstandings, there should never be two alarm buttons in a lift car. It is possible
to connect extra alarm buttons to the unit, for instance on top of the lift car where a repair man
can be trapped.
5.4 Connection to telephone line
The lift phone must be connected to a standard analogue telephone line. Normally it can also
be connected to an ISDN connection via a terminal adaptor. To minimize disturbance when
more than one Fältcom ECII® Flex is connected to the same telephone line it is recommend-
ed that they are connected in parallel.
If the lift phone is connected to a standard telephone jack, the jack should be located in the lift
motor room or some other room with no admittance to unauthorized persons. This is im-
portant to ensure the connection is not interrupted by mistake.
5.4.1 Connection to telephone switches and other devices
The Fältcom ECII® Flex can be connected to an extension in a telephone switch, provided
that the connection is analogue. Digital switches usually have at least one analogue connec-
tion, since many alarms, faxes and modems require analogue communication.
When con-
necting to a telephone switch it must be verified that the switch also works in case of
power failure.
The lift phone has a function, which enables it to dial a prefix, e.g. ‘0’, and then
wait two seconds for the dialing tone before proceeding with the alarm number. See section
