2. Product Overview The Lexicomm EVCS, or ViLX-228S, comprises of a Master Station and one or more outstations. Additionally, the “Assist Call” emergency assistance alarm system can either be connected to the same line as a Type B outstation or connected to a dedicated line.
3. Important Safety Information This Equipment must only be installed and maintained by a suitably skilled and competent person. This Equipment is defined as Class 1 in EN IEC62368-1:2020+A11:2020 (Low Voltage Directive) and must be EARTHED. Caution Indoor Use Only Shock Hazard- Warning Isolate Before Opening...
4. Unpacking the Unit Remove the ViLX-228S Master Station from its packing, and check the contents against the following list: • ViLX-228S Master Station. • Quick start guide. • Accessory pack with the following contents: - 1 number 2.5mm AF Hex Key. 1 number door handle/key.
5. Installation EVC line Mains Supply Connections Relay Contacts Figure 2 Prior to mounting the ViLX-228S Master Station, it should be decided if the field wiring is to be run on the surface or concealed. There are 14 knockouts on the top and 2 slotted entries with a dedicated mains supply entry at the rear.
The ViLX-228S Master Station weighs 6kg with batteries, so care should be taken to securely mount the Station on stud walling. 5.1 Connecting the ViLX-228S Master Station To comply with EMC (Electro Magnetic Compatibility) regulations and to reduce the risk of electrical interference in the system wiring, the use of fire-resistant screened cables is recommended throughout the installation.
5.3.6 ViLX-228S Master Station Wiring The wiring for a ViLX-228S Master Station is shown in the schematic below. Figure 4 5.4 Mains Connection Figure 5 Each ViLX-228S Master Station requires local isolation with verification as per the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989, returning to a B6A breaker clearly marked “EMERGENCY VOICE COMMUNICATION SYSTEM.
5.6 Outstation Connections The ViLX-228S Master Station is equipped with at least one number Dual line card. One outstation per line output can be connected. If no outstation is connected to the line output, then an end of line 10kΩ resistor should be fitted.
Note: The Earth screen should be sleeved and connected to the terminal block in the controller, and the earth connection in the metal back box (if a plastic back-box is used cut the earth back and insulate at the outstation.) 5.6.3 ACA Accessible Toilet Kit Figure 8 The ACA kit comprises an Over door Indicator, a pull cord and a cancel plate and they can be wired in...
6. Set up procedure The ViLX-228S Master Station has various site configurations which are configured using the dipswitch located on the rear of the Display PCB. Figure 10 6.1 ViLX-228S Master Station Display PCB Dipswitch Settings Line Line Line Line Reserved Remarks 1&2...
Exchange PCB Diagram- Figure 13 Figure 12 6.2 Adding a Line Card The ViLX-228S Master Station is supplied with at least one number Line Card. There are 2 lines per Line Card. Before adding a Line Card, ensure that the ViLX-228S Master Station is not powered. If the ViLX-228S Master Station is powered, then power down the ViLX-228S Master Station (see 5.9).
7.3 Panel Indicator Test To test the panel indicators, enter either the access level 2 (code: 1664) or access level 3 (code: 1812) menu, then press zone button 2. All LEDs will illuminate in a predefined sequence, and the buzzer will sound. Press zone button 8 to stop the panel indicator test and to return to the menu options.
Enter the access level 3 code (1812), then press button 5 to enter this mode. The magenta zone indicators from 1 to 8 will be illuminated depending on selection. When the required selection has been made press button 8 to exit this mode. Button Relay Option Not Used...
the buzzer will change from continuous to intermittent. This change in indication and buzzers during the acknowledge phase indicates to the WC user that help is on the way. 8.7 Accepting Faults Before accepting faults, the fault must be noted in the log book, along with the time the fault was reported.
9.2 Power supply and CPU indicator Summary General Description Mains OK ✓ Flash Flash Mains failure ✓ ✓ Battery OK ✓ Flash Flash Battery open circuit ✓ ✓ Flash Battery short circuit Flash Flash Battery high impedance ✓ ✓ Flash PSU processor fail ✓...
10. Commissioning procedure The commissioning should be carried out by a competent person who has a basic knowledge and understanding of the design and installation sections of BS 5839-9:2021and has access to the specification of the project. 10.1 Cable Checks The 500v insulation tests should have been carried out by the installer and the results made available to the commissioning engineer.
12. Outstation zone template There is space to the right of each outstation zone indicator to name the location of the outstation. At the rear of the display door there is a slot located in the centre above the display PCB; the outstation zone template can be inserted here.
