BS EN81-28 & BS EN81-70 may require equipment and facilities in addition

to the standard equipment listed above. Example: Inductive Loop Amplifiers,

Speech Synthesis units etc. The rescue service operator i.e. recipient of the

Emergency calls from autodialler should have a telephone system which can generate DTMF tones in accordance to British Standards.

Non-Standard or Special Installation with other equipment go to Section 2.1

Common to all types of equipment

The Phone line (Analogue on 2 wires) goes to the Main unit and it is thereafter switched to any specific Speaker box assembly. Speech synthesis prompts are provided to assist and reassure the passenger; hence all wires have to be connected.

1

Main voltage (230V ac) is used and all normal safety considerations must be given in accordance with current IEEE regulation. The product complies with EMC regulations and BT Approvals. (Use Screened & Twisted Cable for all installations.

However, acceptable results have been obtained using standard cable.)

These instructions are “Fast Track” information for “Qualified Lift Engineers” and further information can be obtained from our offices on request.

WARNING

If SP Bit 2 is set to a 1 [YES], the Automated test facility will be enabled i.e. a call to the 5 th

telephone number will be made after 70 hours, and if not responded to, a call will be made Every 15 minutes for up to 6 times, and then again after 70 hours. During these attempts the programmer will display ‘C/S

Busy’ to indicate that Central Station is not answering a call.

12

Remote Programming of the AD1000EN-R range of Autodiallers

The autodialler has the facility to auto-answer an incoming call, after 6-15 seconds.

Once the call has been answered, the programming mode can be instigated by a series of simple commands via a simple Touch-Tone Telephone or a Mobile Phone.

The programming is by means of using the (DTMF) Touch-Tones from the calling telephone or a management computer based system into the Lift car.

To enter into the Remote Programming Mode, a Remote Programming Access (RPA)

Number, must be entered in the following format “

∗ v..vv#” within a time period of 30 seconds. (v is any digit 0 to 9). The Default is 1234.

If the RAP is incorrect the system will go in the normal auto-answer.

If the RAP number is correct, the system will output two short Beep tones and wait for additional command tones for a period of 30 seconds before exiting and going in the normal auto-answer mode, i.e. line being connected to the speaker box, after the emission of a short tone.

Exiting from the programming mode is by either a command code sequence, or no activity for 30seconds whilst in the programming mode. (Note, when entering the remote programming mode, the call duration time period is suspended; and re-established when existing from the programming mode).

The following can be implemented once in the programming mode.

Voice Recording of the Lift Location on Site

It is recommended that the car speaker be installed after all recording has been made, as the speaker can be used to confirm the quality of the recording.

Introduction

This set of instructions are provided so that the Engineers can record his voice on the solid state device within the Windcrest unit to inform the recipient of the call as to the location of the lift.

Equipment/Information required

1. Windcrest Hand Held Programmer

2. Lift number and Address of location

3. The Car Speaker box plugged into the side of the Windcrest Unit. (For EN4 applications, remove the existing plug from the socket on the side of the Windcrest unit and plug in the car speaker box for the duration of the recording).

Procedure

Connect the speaker box for the lift car directly into the Windcrest Autodialler. Ie into the

BT Type socket on the side of the inner box. Do not connect the flying lead of the

Windcrest unit into the Telephone line.

Disconnect the Mains Power by pulling out the fuse, and disconnect one of the Battery leads; so the equipment has no power at all.

Plug in the Programmer and then Power up the unit by the Mains fuse.

1. Press button [3] on the programmer i.e. to enter the Test mode the display will show “SELECT TEST”.

2. Press button [5] on the programmer to display “RECORD NEW ?” press [0] The display will show “PLAYING MESSAGES” whilst the unit plays the current contents of the chip. As the message is played and as it comes to the end the display shows

“REC/PLAY….3s..” then “REC/PLAY….2s..” then “REC/PLAY….1s..” then when it ends “REC/PLAY….END..”

3. Press button [5] again, to display “RECORD NEW ?”

4. Identify the small push button in the unit and PRESS & HOLD it DOWN. As you do so the LED3 will illuminate.

5. Now with the other hand, press the [1] button of the Programmer to commence voice recording. Recording is fixed at a period of approx. 10 seconds. (Microphone is near the illuminated LED3).

6. After the recording has been completed, release the small push button, which you have held down.

(Example of recording “Alarm has been activated from lift 2 at St Peters

Street, London NW2, please press Star after the tone”.)

7. Press [5] again. The display will show “RECORD NEW ?”. To hear your recording, press [0]. The recording will be played. If acceptable, press [CANCEL] button.

14

8. If the recording was not acceptable – repeat steps 4 & 5 as above.

9. Press [5] again. The display will show “RECORD NEW ?”. To hear your recording, press [0]. The recording will be played. If acceptable, press [CANCEL] button.

10. Pressing of the [CANCEL] button concludes the recording mode.

11. Re- Connect the battery back up.

The fact that the recording has been carried out, it could be advantageous to select

“VOICE IDENTIFY?” during the normal programming so that the lift’s identification is automatically announced during the call from the lift.

Special Bits Settings: “SP Bit ?”

“SP Bit1?”

Set [N0] as Default. For autodiallers with software version v15 or above, this bit if set to a

[YES] will automatically switch from Yellow Pictogram to Green Pictogram once a call is connected.

“SP Bit 2?” for EN81-28 implementation select [YES]

Set [N0] as Default. If [YES] Automatic Test Calls will be made every 1/2/3 days, depending upon the programming of the unit, to the 5 th

Telephone Number, which should be the Windcrest Central Station. Low battery voltage detection will result in a call being made to central station.

“SP Bit 3?” (Set YES for EN81-28

∗

).

Set [N0] as Default. The flashing of the Yellow Pictogram will also indicate the Alarm state. {Alarm state/flashing of Yellow Pictogram can be cleared by calling the unit & transmitting/pressing DTMF tone “7” or after 10 minutes of flashing.}.

“SP Bit 4?” Set [N0] for Computer based Auto testing. Set [YES] for Non Computer based auto testing. An acknowledgement of DTMF “

∗

” and then a “0” will be required for this test.

“SP Bit 5?”

Set [N0] as Default. If [YES] all incoming DTMF tones are NOT detected.

Set SP Bit 2 to [NO] & SP Bit 4 to [YES] to increase delay between ID/Location announcements to 30 seconds.

ALARM Filtering

An ALARM Filter is required if the equipment is to comply with the requirements of BS

EN81-28. The Input signals required are:

Zone Signal (ie Signal when the Lift is in Door zone).

Door Open Limit (ie Signal High when the lift doors are fully open).

Engineer Signal (ie a lift in Test Mode signal or an Eng.ON Site).

Gate Lock (ie Signal when the landing door is open)

To active/deactivate alarm filter remotely please refer to sequence of remote programming on page 12 & 13.

15

CB/Hot Line Mode

This is a special mode. When Alarm is activated the unit first speaks the user

recorded message and goes online. After successful conversation the user needs to press the alarm button to disconnect the call. For this it is recommended to record a message eg

“Lift Alarm has been activated from lift 2 at St Peters Street,

London NW2, please press the Alarm button when finished

.”

Testing of the Installation

Each speaker box needs to be tested by activating the associated alarm push button.

The system will trigger provided the lift is in a fault condition or has been switched for

Engineer on site/Lift Switched for Test.

Once triggered, the Yellow Pictogram will illuminate, and the unit will call for assistance.

A speech prompt will assist in the operation of the equipment. After the rescue service responds and acknowledges the call, by pressing a star (

∗

) on his telephone, the Green

Pictogram will illuminate. (However, for autodiallers with software version v15 or above, if

SP BIT 1 is set to [YES] the autodialler will automatically switch from Yellow Pictogram to

Green Pictogram once a call is connected). If an announcement is in progress the helper should wait until the announcement is over before pressing a button on the telephone

(e.g. [*]).

The call can be terminated by pressing a zero (0) on the telephone by the rescue service operator. However, the autodialler will terminate the call automatically after the programmed call duration period if a zero (0) was not received. (The call may be extended by the pressing of Alarm Push when requested to do so by voice message prior to call termination).

On completion of the call, the system will indicate an alarm state, has been activated by the flashing of the Yellow Pictogram.

The rescue service needs to be informed of the test call and request then to call you back after terminating this call. At which point the alarm state can be reset by the rescue service whereupon the Yellow Pictogram will stop flashing.

The Windcrest system has an ability to carry out an automated test every 3 days. This must be implemented if the product is to comply with BS EN81-28 and BS EN81-70.

Further it is important that a manual test be carried out as defined above on a regular basis.

Maintenance & Warranty

The Windcrest system has been manufactured under BSI Quality system and requires very little maintenance. However, the Windcrest system will need the main battery test/change every three years. The internal Battery Backed RAM should be tested every

8 to 10 years by confirming the data is retained after a power down of the main backup battery for 5 minutes. At the time of battery test, the DTMF tones should also be tested/calibrated.

16

Special Information to be kept with the equipment for the

Owner/Managing Agent for the BS EN81-28 Implementation.

1.

2.

3.

4.

5.

The lift’s communication system must be connected to a rescue service and be kept working to provide a 2-way voice link.

The rescue service must be informed of the installation of the Autodialler (The

ID of the unit together with the telephone number of the phone line on which the unit is connected must be noted. Further, if more than a single unit is placed on the phone line, a note of the lift number must also be provided).

The communication system must be regularly tested, manually and automatically, to ensure the system is working. If it fails to work, the lift must be placed out of service.

Information in the Operating, Maintenance and Testing of the Autodialler must be kept. (A copy of the installation manual will contain all the necessary information).

Information on programming, with a Hand-held programmer, or with a simple

Touch Tone telephone, is included in the installation manual.

Answering an incoming call

From a Trapped Passenger or Non computer based Auto-Test

) button on the telephone to acknowledge the call, and conduct the conversation with the Lift Engineer.

Once the conversation has finished, Cancel the Alarm State by pressing a “7” (i.e.

Flashing of the Pictogram) and then terminate the call with a zero (0) and thereafter placing the handset down. If the Alarm State is not cleared for 10 minutes, the Pictogram Flashing will reset automatically.

Calling a Lift

NB: It may not be possible to call a lift if connected to an extension of a PABX

Call the Lift’s phone number as usual.

When the call is answered, a tone and a speech prompt “Answering an incoming call” will confirm connection to the lift car.

Once the conversation has finished, terminate the call with a zero (0) and thereafter placing the handset down.

(The call may be extended by the pressing of Alarm Push when requested to do so by voice message prior to call termination).

Under normal circumstances, the lift, which has made an outgoing call, will be the lift, which will answer the call first. However, if an incorrect lift has responded, simply terminate the call and ring in again.

To inform the rescue service that passengers have been released a separate switch (key switch) can be installed in the lift car which when operated will call the rescue service in a different way to that of a normal call when the alarm push is pressed.

Note: Autodiallers with ID x x x x 02 77 will need LiftAlert

2000 version 2.0 software for central monitoring station.
