About the EMC-ALRM Phone Line Monitoring
Alarm Board
Key Features:
Complies with ANSI A17.1/CSA B44 Safety Code for Elevators
The EMC-60 Emergency Hands-free Elevator Phone, combined with the EMCS
Emergency Phone Consolidator, if applicable, verifies the operability of the
telephone line and signals the EMC-ALRM if the line is not functional.
In the event of a phone line failure, the EMC-ALRM activates an audible and
illuminated visual signal for each group of elevators.
The key-switch or pushbutton, accessible only to authorized personnel, will
silence the audible signal for no less than 12 hours.
The EMC-60/EMCS monitors the failed phone line repeatedly and will signal the
EMC-ALRM to cancel the alarm immediately.
The illuminated visual signal will extinguish and the system return to normal.
Battery backed-up power is recommended to enable notification of elevator
communications failure in the event of power failure (built-in when using an EMCS or
EMC-PAC).
