Line Verification Panel with Key Switch

ASME A17.1-2013 code requires that “the two-way communications means within the (elevator) car shall include a means to verify operability of the telephone line”. When our local municipality adopts this ASME A17.1 code the LV-1K can be added to fulfill all requirements for visual and audible signaling when it is determined the telephone line is not functioning.
The LV-1K is essentially four products in one. First, it can be added to any new or existing Viking 1600A Series elevator emergency as a single phone stand-alone solution. With the LV1K installed, the 1600A Series phone will check the telephone line for actual dial tone on a daily basis. The LV-1K also continuously monitors for
loss of Talk Battery voltage and will immediately provide an audible and visual indication when the telephone line has been accidentally cut or disconnected.
Second, it can be wired to a Viking model LC-6 six-port concentrator, to provide visual and audible signaling for any grouping of elevators that are controlled by the same  FIRE RECALL” switch. The LC-6 not only allows 2 to 6 Viking elevator emergency phones share the same LV-1K-Line Verification panel, but it also allows the cost savings of hose phones being able to share a single telephone line, and still meet all requirements of ASME A17.1.
Third, it can be added to any Viking 1600-IP Series elevator emergency phone as a stand-alone solution. The LV-1K continuously monitors the 1600-IP Series phone’s relay output for a loss of PoE power or communication with the server. The LV-1K will immediately provide an audible and visual indication when the LAN connection has been accidentally cut, disconnected or is out-of-service.

Fourth, since the LV-1K continuously watches for loss of Talk Battery voltage, it can be used to provide an audible and visual indication when any analog station or telephone line has been accidentally cut or disconnected from any telecom device. In accordance to ASME A17.1, the LV-1K is labeled “ELEVATOR COMMUNICATION FAILURE”  in ¼” high red letters and will sound an audible signal every 30 seconds and flash a red light when a telephone line fault is detected. Authorized personnel can silence the audible signal with the included key switch. The LED will remain to flash until the fault is corrected.

Features Overview

Installation

IMPORTANT: Electronic devices are susceptible to lightning and power station electrical surges from both the AC outlet and the telephone line. It is recommended that a  surge protector be installed to protect against such surges.
A. Mounting
The LV-1K is designed to be flush mounted into a standard double gang rough-in box. A 5/64th hex key and four 6-32 x 1.25” long stainless steel hex drive flathead screws and are included to mount it to the double gang box.
B. Wiring
The LV-1K can be wired one of four different ways. For single emergency phone applications, the LV-1K can be wired to a single 1600A Series analog phone, or a single 1600- IP Series VoIP phone. When a Viking LC-6 is used the LV-1K can be wired as an accessory to the LC-6, or the LV-1K can be wired to any other analog telecom device.

1. Single 1600A Series Phone Wiring
When the LV-1K is wired in the below sequence, it will also test the unit for proper operation.

Step 1.| Set the 1600A Series emergency phone’s DIP switch 2 to ON, so that it automatically answers an incoming call.
---|---
Step 2.| Connect the Red/Yellow and Green/Yellow wires to the 1600A Series emergency phone.
Step 3.| Connect the Red/Black and Black/Red wires to the included 12-volt power adapter (LV-1K is not polarity sensitive). Once powered up, the LV-1 K will make a buzzing sound indicating the 1600A Series emergency phone is attempting to test the presence of a telephone line dial tone. Since the telephone line is not yet connected, the LV-1K will start continuously flashing its red LED and sounding the beep tones every 30 seconds to show there is a line failure. The buzzing will be heard every five minutes as the 1600A Series emergency phone continues attempting to test the presence of a telephone line dial tone.
Step 4.| Connect the solid Red and solid Green wires to the telephone line. Within five minutes the 1600A Series emergency phone should detect the presence of a telephone line dial tone, and the LV-1K will clear its audible and visual indications.

* Note: The gel-filled (water-tight) butt connectors are designed for insulation displacement on 19-26 gauge wire with maximum insulation of 0.082 inches. Do not strip wires prior to terminating.

2. Wiring to the Viking Model LC-6
When the LV-1K is wired in the below sequence, it will also test the unit for proper operation.

Step 1.| Cut the YELLOW wire loop to put the LV-1 K into the “Universal Model”.
---|---
Step 2.| Connect the RED/YELLOW and GREEN/YELLOW wires to LC-6 screw terminals 2 and 3.
Step 3.| Connect both ORANGE wires to LC-6 screw terminals 12 and 13.
Step 4.| Keeping the solid red and solid green wires disconnected, connect the RED/BLACK and BLACK/RED wires to the included 12-volt power supply (the LV-1K is not polarity sensitive). Once powered up, the LV-1 K will start continuously flashing its red LED and sounding the beep tones every 30 seconds to show there is a line failure.
Step 5.| Connect the solid RED and solid GREEN wires to the telephone line. The LV-1K will detect the presence of Talk Battery voltage and clear its audible and visual indications.
Step 6.| With the LC-6 powered up, flip its DIP Switch position 2 to ON. This will cause the LC-6 to run its own Line Verification Test which verifies the telephone line has loop current and that each of the emergency phones will answer an incoming call. If the LC-6 finds a fault, it will signal the LV-1 K on the orange wire pair causing the LV-1 K to show there is a line failure. If this is the case, refer to the LC-6 Technical Practice (DOD# 245), to clear the fault before proceeding. Tip: If less than six emergency phones are used, the LC-6 needs to be programmed with the actual number of emergency phones used.

* Note : The gel-filled (water-tight) butt connectors are designed for insulation displacement on 19-26 gauge wire with maximum insulation of 0.082 inches. Do not strip wires prior to terminating.

3 **.** Wiring to Any Other Analog Device on Any Station or Phone Line
When the LV-1K is wired in the below sequence, it will also test the unit for proper operation.

power supply (the LV1K is not polarity sensitive). Once powered up, the LV- 1Kwill start Continuously flashing its red  LED and sounding the beep tones every 30 seconds To show there is a line failure.
Step 3.| Connect the phone line directly to the analog device, and from there continue on to the LV1K’s solid RED and solid GREEN wires. This configuration will be sure To detect when the line has been accidentally cut or disconnected all the way Up to the device. Once the telephone line has been connected to the LV-1K, It will detect the presence of Talk Battery voltage and clear its audible and visual indications.

* Note: The gel-filled (water-tight) butt connectors are designed for insulation displacement on 19-26 gauge wire with maximum insulation of 0.082 inches. Do not strip wires prior to terminating.

4. Wiring to 1600-IP Series VoIP Phone
When the LV-1K is wired in the below sequence, it will also test the unit for proper operation.

Step 1.| Cut the YELLOW wire loop to put the LV-1K into the “Universal Mode”.
---|---
Step 2.| Connect the 12VDC power supply’s positive (+) wires to the 1600-IP’s BLUE wire.
Step 3.| Connect the 12VDC power supply’s negative (-) wires to the LV-1 K’s BLACK/RED wire.
Step 4.| Connect the LV-1K’s BLACK/RED wire to the 1600-IP’s GREY wire.
Step 5.| With the 1600-IP Series phone disconnected from the LAN, plug the 12VDCpower adapter into an AC outlet. The LV-1 K will start continuously flashing its red LED and sounding the beep tones every 30 seconds to show there is a connection failure.
Step 6.| Connect the 1600-IP Series phone back to the LAN and the LV-1 K will clear its audible and visual indications. If the LV-1K is still held in the alarm state, be sure the 1600-IP Series phone’s relay output is programmed in the “LV-1 K Control” mode. (See operation section D).

* Note: The gel-filled (water-tight) butt connectors are designed for insulation displacement on 19-26 gauge wire with maximum insulation of 0.082 inches. Do not strip wires prior to terminating.

Programming

The LV-1K has two programmable items. First, it can be set to run in either the “1600A” mode or the “Universal” mode. Second, the loudness of the audible signaling beeps can be programmed.
A. 1600A Mode or Universal Mode
The LV-1K comes factory set in the 1600A model. Keep the unit in this mode when using the LV-1K with a Viking 1600A Series emergency phone. When in this mode, in addition to continuously monitoring the phone line for the loss of talk battery, it will also signal the 1600A Series emergency phone daily, to check for the actual dial tone to further prove the telephone line is operating properly. When the LV-1K is used with one of the 1600-IP Series phones, the Viking Model LC-6 or any other analog telecom device, cut the YELLOW wire loop, as shown in the Installation section, to put the unit into the Universal mode.
B. Audible Signaling Volume ( Feature not available when wired to 1600-IP VoIP Phone )
There are 4 programmable volume levels for the audible beeps. The beeps are factory set to the loudest volume, and it is recommended they be left loud so in the event a  telephone line failure is detected, it will be recognized as quickly as possible. If it is determined that lower volume level audible signaling beeps are desired, authorized personnel can do this with the supplied keys. When the LV-1K is powered up and idle (not in the alarm state), insert the key and turn it ON to the right. Two beeps will be heard. Keep the key in the ON position and six seconds later the beeps will be heard walking down in volume from loudest to one step lower, and lower, and lowest. The beeps will continue to loop through the four-volume levels. Once you decide you hear the desired volume level, turn the key back OFF to set that volume level.

Operation

A. Single 1600A Series Phone
With the LV-1K installed, the 1600A Series phone will check the telephone line on a daily basis. If dial tone is not detected the LV-1K will sound an audible beep signal every 30 seconds and continuously flash its red LED light. The LV- 1K also continuously monitors for loss of Talk Battery voltage and will immediately provide the same audible and visual indication when the telephone line has been accidentally cut or disconnected. Once a line failure is detected, authorized personnel can silence the audible beep signals with the included key switch. Insert the key and turn ON to the right. Two beeps will be heard, then turn the key immediately OFF and remove. The LED will remain to flash until the fault is corrected. The audible beep signals will remain silent for this event only. Future line failure detections will sound the audible beep signals again, which can again be silenced.
When the LV-1K is actively showing a nonfunctional telephone line state, the phone line will be watched for the talk battery and dial tone to return. Once the telephone line is functional again, the LV-1K will clear within five minutes.
When used in this application, the key can be used to manually force an immediate dial tone test, (which otherwise happens automatically once a day). With the LV-1K in the normal state (not showing a failure), insert the key and turn ON to the right. Two beeps will be heard, then turn the key immediately OFF and remove. The LV-1K will make a  buzzing sound indicating that it is signaling the 1600A Series emergency phone to check for dial tone. If the 1600A Series phone is in use, the LV-1K will not produce a buzzing sound because the 1600A Series phone will be unable to check for dial tone. Within two minutes of the phone line becoming available, the dial tone test will run. If the phone line does not become available within an hour, the LV-1K will signal this as a fault.

B. When Wired to the LC-6
A Viking model LC-6 Six-Port Line Concentrator can be used for any grouping of elevators that are controlled by the same “FIRE RECALL” switch. The LC-6 not only allows 2 to 6 Viking elevator emergency phones to share the same LV-1K- Line Verification Panel, but also allows the cost savings of those phones to be able to share a single telephone line, and still meet all requirements of ASME A17.1. Note: The LC-6 additionally features the ability to install three other service phones. A Fire Floor Phone, a Lobby Phone,  and a Machine Room Phone can all call, or be called, by any of the elevator emergency phones.
The LC-6 has the ability to check the incoming telephone line for operability on a daily basis. The lines running from the LC-6 to each of the Viking 1600A Series emergency phones will also be tested at this same time. When a fault is detected, the LV-1K will sound an audible beep signal every 30 seconds and continuously flash its red LED light.  Once noticed, authorized personnel can silence the audible beep signals with the included key switch. Insert the key and turn ON to the right. Two beeps will be heard, then turn the key immediately OFF and remove. The LED will remain to flash until the fault is corrected. The audible beep signals will remain silent for this event only. Future line failure detections will sound the audible beep signals again, which can again be silenced. Once the fault is corrected, the alarm state will clear within two minutes.

C. When Wired to any Other Analog Device
The LV-1K will continuously monitor for loss of Talk Battery voltage indicating the telephone line has been accidentally cut or disconnected. When this fault is detected the LV- 1K will sound an audible beep signal every 30 seconds and continuously flash its red LED light. Once noticed, authorized personnel can silence the audible beep signals with the included key switch. Insert the key and turn ON to the right. Two beeps will be heard, then turn key immediately OFF and remove. The LED will remain to flash until the fault is corrected. The audible beep signals will remain silent for this event only. Future line failure detections will sound the audible beep signals again, which can again be silenced. Once the fault is corrected, the alarm state will clear.

D. Single 1600-IP Series VoIP  Phone
The Viking 1600-IP Series phone needs its relay output to be programmed into th ”LV-1K Control” mode. This can be done by entering digits 4#26 when in Touch Tone programming. Or, when using Viking’s IP Programming software, within the “Phone Settings” tab, Select “LV-1K Control” as the relay option. Once programmed, the 1600-IP  Series phone will hold its relay output active, as long as it is powered up and can communicate with the LAN. If either communication or PoE power are lost, the relay will open, indicating a fault condition.
The LV-1K will continuously monitor the 1600-IP Series phone’s output relay. When a fault is detected, the LV1K will sound an audible beep signal every 30 seconds and continuously flash its red LED light. Once noticed, authorized personnel can silence the audible beep signals with the included key switch. Insert the key and turn ON to the right. Two beeps will be heard, then turn key immediately OFF And remove. The LED will remain to flash until the fault is corrected. The audible beep signals will remain silent for this event only. Future line failure detections will sound the audible beep signals again, which can again be silenced. Once the failure  s corrected, the alarm state will
clear.
