HUDSON, WI – May 24, 2017 – The LC-6 Line Concentrator allows six emergency phones to share a single analog phone line. When used in combination with Viking’s 1600A Series emergency phones, the line concentrator becomes a central part of the emergency notification system or area of refuge application.
“Designed to comply with current regulations, the LC-6 allows the ‘little guy’ to stay compliant and avoid fees – without wildly increasing monthly operating expenses.” – Paul Speltz, Senior Engineer, Viking Electronics, Inc.
The LC-6 eliminates operating expenses for additional analog phone lines traditionally purchased to comply with emergency regulations. Six emergency phones can connect to the LC-6 for use with a single analog C.O. line or analog station port. The emergency phones can be routed to an internal Command Center phone, a Machine Room phone, or the telephone line can be used to communicate outside the building.
In accordance to ASME A17.1, the LC-6 has the ability to check the incoming telephone line for operability on a daily basis. If a fault is detected, an audible and illuminated visual alarm showing “ELEVATOR COMMUNICATIONS FAILURE” will display on the optional Viking model LV-1K line verification alarm panel.
Once a call is connected, additional emergency calls are bridged onto the existing call. Emergency personnel calling the LC-6 will be automatically routed to the phone that placed the most recent emergency call. Incoming calls can also be routed by touch tones to a specific location.
