Function and Use ® This section describes the basic and extending functions of the 2N LiftNet product. Here is what you can find in the section: User Instructions Dispatching Centre Instructions Fireman Function Function Description (for Advanced Users)
User Instructions 4.1 User Instructions Audio Unit - Lift Cabin The lift cabin audio unit is intended for lay users. Nevertheless, instructions can be placed in the lift cabin, e.g., to help the people trapped in the lift communicate with the dispatching centre.
User Instructions Audio Unit - Machine Room The shaft audio unit description applies to this audio unit too. To activate any voice function, pick up the receiver of the connected telephone, or enable the HandsFree mode on the telephone. Machine room voice menu When you pick up the phone in the machine room, you can set other functions available in the voice menu using the phone keyboard.
Dispatching Centre Instructions 4.2 Dispatching Centre Instructions ALARM Call The process starts the moment the ALARM button is pressed on any audio unit. Upon the press, LN calls the dispatching centre (refer to Automatic Dialling for details). 2. When the incoming call is answered by the operator, the LN voice message is played identifying the calling lift.
Dispatching Centre Instructions ALARM Call - Intercom 1. The process starts the moment the ALARM button is pressed on any audio unit (except for the pre-set machine room – dispatching centre unit). Upon the press, LN calls to the pre-set machine room – dispatching centre audio unit (refer to Automatic Dialling for details).
Dispatching Centre Instructions Setting Machine Room Audio Unit Number Enter # before the lift number to set the machine room number. For example, 011 - #8 means that calling to lift 8 machine room audio unit is set in ALARM button memory 1. Setting options: 1.
Dispatching Centre Instructions Tone Dialling Control during Call – Complete List of Commands Where automatic dialling with confirmation is used, it is possible to use tone dialling for LN control during the call according to the table below. For simplification, commands 1 to 5 are arranged in the sequence they are usually used in.
Fireman Function 4.3 Fireman Function Intended for firemen’s actions, the Fireman function helps establish calls with the highest priority. Connection is established between the Fire Station and the cabin audio unit. Description The Fire Station is a universal cabin audio unit pre-programmed for the Fireman function.
Function Description (for Advanced Users) 4.4 Function Description (for Advanced Users) Purpose of Section The purpose of this section is to help technicians solve problems, if any. If the system fails to work properly and a well-trained technician monitoring its operation step by step according to the description included herein gets to a point where the description and reality are in contradiction, he or she describes the contradiction, thus facilitating troubleshooting.
Function Description (for Advanced Users) Triphony Triphony provides interconnection of audio units. This mode can be activated by pressing the TRIPHONY button in the machine room (see the preceding subsection), in the lift shaft or on the lift cabin roof (audio units No. 913612E). This mode features a different setting of the automatic HandsFree mode.
Function Description (for Advanced Users) Call Sequencing If another request arises during communication, the calls are queued. Calls have different priorities – alarm calls have the highest one. Therefore, the alarm call suspends any lower-priority call (the checking call, e.g.). Calls with identical priorities are queued and processed one after another.
Function Description (for Advanced Users) Automatic Dialling of Multiple Numbers with Confirmation Up to 6 telephone numbers including repetitions can be stored for dispatching office calling. LN then tries to call all the numbers stored. To confirm successful calls, LN uses tone dialling (DTMF).
Automatic Call Receiving ® If equipped with a PC with the 2N LiftManager application, the dispatching centre receives calls automatically. It identifies the calling lifts and types of calls (alarm,...
Function Description (for Advanced Users) checking, and automatic failure report). The checking calls are served fully automatically.
