4.2 Multiple lift phone connection
The Fältcom ECII® Flex is designed to run on the existing telephone line power supply. Sepa-
rate power supply is only required if several lift phones are connected to the same telephone
line or if the line voltage is below 25 VDC. See more under section
Technical data
.
Several lift phones may be connected to the same telephone line. When one of the lift phones
has established a connection, the other ones will not be able to use the line; a busy tone will
instead be heard in the loudspeaker and the yellow LED will flash five times. When the line
becomes free, the alarm call will be connected automatically.
Every lift phone requires a unique ID and the default ID is 1. The ID is used when calling in to
the lift phone. The unit with ID 1 will answer the call and the others will listen in on the line and
only pick up the line if that particular lift phone ID is chosen. Connect the lift phones in parallel
and place the lift phone with ID 1 at the far end of the line. View section 6.13 for program-
ming.
Installation of two or more Fältcom ECII® Flex on the same telephone line requires a sepa-
rate power supply to the lift phones. The lift phone outlet marked DC is then connected to the
lift’s existing emergency power supply via a special DC/DC converter. If no power supply is
available a separate emergency power source with a built-in battery can be used. Both prod-
ucts are described in the product catalogue.
A total of nine lift/emergency phones may be connected using the same subscription. Check
with the local telephone line operator how many devices they support on the line. Ordinary
telephones, fax machines, modems or other types of alarm transmitters must not be connect-
ed to the same telephone line because of the risk of disturbing the Fältcom ECII® Flex.
4.3 Programming and testing
On the back of the lift phone, there is a keypad used for programming call numbers, function
selection, and testing. All such settings are configured during the installation procedure and,
normally, no subsequent changes are required. It is also possible to remotely program the lift
phone using a standard phone or Windows-based software and a modem. Contact your local
distributor for more information.
The Fältcom ECII® Flex is capable of calling 6 alarm receivers or standard telephones with
tone selection.
The lift phone can be programmed to send a test alarm/routine call to a specific test
alarm/routine call receiver at intervals of 1 – 30 days. This alarm tests the lift phone electron-
ics and the telephone line itself.
The lift phone can also be programmed to answer an incoming call automatically after one
call signal. In this case, tones are heard in the receiver when the call is connected.
If an emergency power supply is connected, the lift phone can automatically send an alarm if
the battery voltage is low and needs to be replaced. A special telephone number for the bat-
tery alarm can be programmed.
See section
for detailed programming instructions.
