Notes We would like to thank you for placing your confidence in Fält Communications AB and we are convinced that the choice of one of our security products will fulfill your expectations. In order to operate this Fältcom ECII® Flex correctly we would ask you to read this manual care- fully prior to using it.
Product description The Fältcom ECII® Flex is an alarm equipment for the PSTN network with built in duplex speech communication designed for installation in lifts. When a lift passenger presses the button for alarm/emergency signal, the lift phone automati- cally calls up an alarm centre or some other predefined alarm receiver. Voice communication is established and the person in distress can talk to the staff at the alarm centre, from where help will be dispatched.

On the lift phone’s front plate, there are two pictograms and two single colored LED (yellow and green), which are normally turned off. The left LED becomes yellow when an alarm call is in progress and the right LED becomes green when the alarm has been acknowledged by the receiver and a speech connection is established.
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.
Installation instructions Only suitably qualified personnel may install the Fältcom ECII® Flex. Expertise, technical skill and correct equipment are required to ensure safe and efficient installation. Mind your own safety when installing Fältcom ECII® Flex. You must never work in an open lift shaft without a safety harness.
5.3 Connection to alarm button Route a two-wire cable (max 10 m) from the lift’s alarm button and connect the wires to the lift phone’s terminal block at ”ALARM1” or “ALARM2”. Fasten the cable with cable ties or cable clips on the outside of the lift. Note that the alarm button in the lift car is normally double-breaking, i.e.
In some installations the telephone line might have an automatic dial or automatic connection. This means that the telephone line automatically dials or connects to a pre-programmed number. By programming the Fältcom ECII® Flex with a pause the lift phone accepts that the telephone line manages to call up the pre-programmed number.
connect the wires to the terminals marked ”TELE”. Fasten the cable with cable ties or cable clips on the outside of the lift near the lift phone. Connect the two central wires in the enclosed modular connector to the suspension cable wire, and connect the modular connector to the telephone jack in the motor room.
5.6 Connection to loop amplifier To enable passengers with impaired hearing to communicate with the alarm centre a loop amplifier can be connected to the Fältcom ECII® Flex. Contact your local distributor for infor- mation about approved loop amplifiers that can be used with Fältcom ECII® Flex. Connect the output marked “LOOP AMP”...
