for the lift phone. The connections must be galvanically isolated. If they are not, or if the
existing alarm button only has one connection, the button must be replaced to another type.
Please note that there is a special version of the FältCom ECII SE with an integrated 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.
6.4.1 Closing alarm button function
Note that the alarm button may have closing or breaking function. Breaking function is to be
preferred and is the default setting in FältCom ECII SE. If the button has closing function, the
lift phone must be programmed to handle this. See section
Programming
for more
information.
6.4.2 Separate
alarm
button(s)
If there is no alarm button in the lift, a separate button must be installed in the cage and
marked accordingly. Note that, in order to avoid misunderstandings, there should never be
two alarm buttons in a lift cage. 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. It is important that all
buttons are of the same type.
6.5 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 disturbances when
more than one FältCom ECII SE is connected to the same telephone line it is recommended
that they are connected in series, not in parallel.
If the lift phone is connected to a standard telephone jack, the jack should be located in the lift
engine room or some other room with no admittance to unauthorized persons. This is
important to make sure that the connection will not be interrupted by mistake.
6.5.1 Connection to telephone exchange and other devices
The FältCom ECII SE can be connected to an extension in a telephone exchange, provided
the connection is analogue. Digital exchanges usually have at least one analogue connection,
since many alarms, faxes and modems require analogue communication.
When connecting
to a telephone exchange it must be verified that the exchange also works in case of
power failure.
The lift phone has a function, which enables it to dial a zero and then wait two
seconds for the dialing tone before proceeding with the alarm number. See section
Programming
for more information.
In some situations the telephone line has a function for Hot-line calling. This means that the
telephone line automatically calls up a pre-programmed number. By programming the
FältCom ECII SE with a suitable time of pause the lift phone accept that the telephone line
manages to call up the pre-programmed number. Afterwards the lift phone uses the telephone
line for intended functions. For more information read Programming.
By connecting the lift phone to a GSM adapter which simulates an analogue telephone line
the lift phone easily can send alarms via the GSM network. Contact your distributor for more
