Welcome
The Link Lift Watch is designed for emergency call from lift to first aid ( service
department, police, etc…
The NLLW is certained for 1 lift cabin. It is connectable to analog PSTN
line or analog extension of PABX. The NLLW is powered from telephone line –
the features reminds hands free phone. It is completely independent on lift
power supply.The signalization as same as status detection only requires
connection of external power supply. All inputs even outputs are galvanically
isolated from telephone line. The button as same as control („third“) wire only
is connected with telephone line.
The NLLW has adjustable parametres saved in internal memory. The
parametres might be programmed either by phone via tone (DTMF) dial or by
computer PC via configuration software. For connection the NLLW to PC you
have to use special cabel.
After button pressing the NLLW enables to make phone call up 6 numbers
max 16 digits in tone or pulse dial. It is possible also dial
“* ”, “ # ”, Pauze and Flash in tone dial. The button activation might be
blocked by input BLOCK. As follow NLLW enables to make a call in case of
change the status at input INPUT (failure). The NLLW also provides automatic
phone call from systém time clock to confirm its functionality.
At all numbers is possible to use mode with or without confirmation.
After confirmation of phone call by called party the NLLW reply by its seriál
number and current call is taken as accepted. It means that NLLW not dial any
other number saved in memory.
The next feature is remote control of relay in connection with NLLW by 2
digit code. The switching contact of relay is isolated from the outstanding
components. It is very useful feature for example : LIFT RESET .

1.2 Terminology
It is explain here the meaning of used words in manual.
Communicator LLW - it is final product designed for communication from
lift cabin to service center.
Emergency call - it is person calling while lift failure or other
emergency situation happened. It is activates by
button pushing. The call is being between lift cabin
and service center.
Service calling - it is calling regularly repeated. (for example every 3
days). It is automatic proving of NLLW functionality. )
Failure calling - it is calling caused by status change on input
INPUT
Machine room call - it is calling between lift cabin and machine room, )
Incoming call - it is calling coming from outside into NLLW unit.
The NLLW pick up (you can programm
parametres)
Dial - it is kind of dial on telephone line –dial (DTMF) dial
(dial even acknowledgement * and # , use loop
interuption = Flash) or pulse –(dial only numeral)
Telephone line - PSTN line (public line) (line coming directly from
Telecommunication carrier) or extension line
(coming from PBX)
confirmation - dial of combination star *and numerals. After
dialling of those characters the call is authorised and
lift communicator reply by its unique serial number.
(5 digits)
serial number - each lift communicator NLLW has unique seriál
number since 00001 to 65535. This number is
sending via DTMF every time when NLLW receives
confirmation character
call connection - this status is indicated via lighting of green check –
light and might be caused either by call confirmation
( dial confirmation character) or when is not present
ringing tone for longer time period.

1.3 Wiring contacts
1.3.1 Description of basic module
The NLLW is compact solution of communicator, it means that contains
loudspeaker, microphone, screw terminal and connector for PC connection
(configuration). At picture 1 is drawing of NLLW basic board (version A).
Functionality of connection is explain in follow chapters. On the basic board are
3 setting elements ( trimmers) :
MIC –microphone volume setting
VOL –loudspeaker volume setting
TRH –setting of balance between micro and speaker
Note: Please take in mind during TRH setting that incoming direction ( speaker)
and outgoing direction ( microphone) are influence each other.
We recommend to dont set high volume in the begining of micro or speaker
and via TRH set both direction to be both in good volume quality.
Picture 1: NLLW basic board
For explanation: when signal into speaker approach certain level then
decreases micro volume to enter signal into speaker. At the other hand signal
from microphone decreases volume of speaker. By TRH trimmer you are
setting prefferention of microphone or speaker.
Here you can see that when is set high volume of microphone (MIC)
as same as speaker (VOL) then signals influence each other. The result might
be that call is interrupted or one direction is silent.

The loudspeaker as same as microphone are connected by wires as
you can see on picture 1. Caution on polarity of microphone because is
powered (+ -).
Version A contain three connectors for connect microphone a three
conectors for connect speaker. Microphones is possible conect to the
conectors MIC1..MIC3 it is paralel inputs with same features. Conectors for
speakers has diferent features, left connector SPK is output from HandsFree
and powered from line (only one for Version B), connectors SPK1..SPK2 is
output from 1W amplifier powered from 12-24V connection (only version A).
The jumper marked SERVICE is available for automatic enter to
programming mode when password is forgotten. When jumper is ON And you
make incoming call on NLLW then after picking up you are directly in
programming mode. In programming mode you can change all parametres
includes new password as well.
Connection of Button (emergency call) and connection of Input (Error
or Technical call) is wiring as current loop and by jumper is possible choice
from the current loop is powered. Attention - button is galvanic connect with
source power of current loop and isolated from line by optocoupler. In case
powered current loop from telephone line is button galvanic connect with
telephone line.
Two jumpers behind connector for connection LEDs determine if they
will be connection indication LEDs (jumers they are open) or indication bulbs or
LEDs with resistor (jumers they are short). These jumpers just short serial
resistors. At using power supply 12V is current LED c. 10mA, at short-circuited
jumpers be allowed max. current 0,5A.
The black connector on oposite side from screw terminal is designed
for PC connection by special cabel KAB. The cabel is galvanicaly isolated
convertor of RS 232 interface (PC port COM1, COM2…) and NLLW interface.
Galvanical isolation is neccessary because PC might be grounded and
telephone line MUST NOT be grounded! When your PC is not equiped by RS
232 port but only USB then you can use convertor USB-RS232 for its is in your
PC creates virtual seriál port (for example COM6) and this you will select in
configuration software LiftSet for communication to NLLW. Is posible too use
USB cable - we recommended.

1.3.2 Setting voice communication
Position trimmers are presetting from manufacture and in majority case
agree with, therefore changes setting altering only in necessary case.
Trimmer "MIC" be instrumental to setting loudness of microphone,
trimmer "SPK" be instrumental to setting loudness loudspeaker. In this version
is big reserve in gain, therefore isn't recommended adjust more than on half,
typical is in 1/3 from minimum gain. Trimmer "TRH" be instrumental to setting
levels activation of microphone, it means, so as doorphone "non whoop" owing
to acoustic loop so selection, which direction has priority, whether from
microphone, or into loudspeaker. Level from which volume with "switch on"
direction from microphone doorphone setting trimmer „TRH". This setting
interact level surrounding noise and setting gain of microphone „MIC".
Progress of setting: trimmer MIC and SPK setting in 1/4 from minimum
loudness (minimum is sense turning left), trimmer TRH setting in central
position. At conversation
connection stilly talk and trimmer
TRH turning from central value
direction to the left so, till you will
on the side phone (in building)
hear. Gain of loudspeaker, in
some case of microphone set-up
according to needs.
Picture 2: Typical range and sense of rotation trimmers
1.3.3 DTMF level setting
Level of DTMF dial it is possible adjust in three
levels, base level is -10dBm, here it is possible restrict
to -14dBm and or heighten on -6dBm. Setting is makes
by DIP switch according to pictures.

1.3.4 Telephone line connection (LINE a b)
The basic condition for NLLW operation is telephone line connection.
Telephone line is 2 wires which you connect to screw terminal up picture 3.
Picture 3: Telephone line connection
Telephone line interface has following typical parametres. The voltage in
Hang up status (disconnect loop) 20-60V = (during connection not depends on
polarity), when NLLW pick up (active status) on telephone line is cca 7-12V,
depends on line current which is in range 20-60mA. Further telephone line
parametres are signalling, ringing (incoming call) is define by AC voltage from
50-90V and frequency 20 –60Hz. To the signalling belongs even tones, have
frequency 425Hz +/- 20Hz and level -10dBm (cca 0,22V) and difference lis
cadency. The NLLW reacts on those tones.

1.3.5 Button and blocking connection (BUTTON a BLOCK)
When telephone line is connected we need connect button only.The
button is connected to screw terminal mark BUTTON. Look on picture 4.
Picture 4 : Button connection

Button is possible connecting up to 100m and is possible conecting
moore butons „switch on“ paralel or „switch off“ buttons serial. Control of type
buttons use is possible programming by parameter 6# 1 or 0. System of push
button is wired in current loop and by jumper is select from is loop powered.
Attention - button is galvanic connect with source power of current
loop and isolated from line by optocoupler. In case powered current loop from
telephone line is button galvanic connect with telephone line.
Picture 5 : connection block of call
The screw mark BLOCK (picture 5) is designed for blocking of button for
emergency call. Input is isolated from other parts of NLLW and not depends on
polarity. In configuration you can select if BLOCK input is activated by leading
of voltage 5-24V or by disconnection of this voltage.

1.3.6 Connection of optical signalization (YELOW and GREEN)
The NLLW is equiped by call status indication. It is by yellow and green
indicator. The switcher outputs for those indicators are isolated from other
components and each from other as well. The switchers are made until current
0,5A and voltage 50V. On Picture 6 you can see examples of lamp indicator
connection (power consumption should not be higher than 5W) –jumpers is
short or LED indicator connection –jumpers is open (internal add seriál resistor
).
Picture 6: Indicator connection

1.3.7 Input connection- failure notification (INPUT)
On screw INPUT is possible leads voltage 5-24V for activation failure
calling as you can see on picture 7.
Picture 7: Input connection for failure calling
Is possible to programm if input should be activated by connection or
disconnection of voltage on this screw. As next parameter you programm the
lenght of this voltage change before failure calling is activated.
INPUT is possible connecting up to 100m and is possible conecting
moore butons „switch on“ paralel or „switch off“ buttons serial. Control of type
buttons use is possible programming by parameter 6# 1 or 0. System of push
button is wired in current loop and by jumper is select from is loop powered.
Attention - INPUT is galvanic connect with source power of current
loop and isolated from line by optocoupler. In case powered current loop from
telephone line is button galvanic connect with telephone line.

1.3.8 Connection of machine room communication (3WR)
When use in machine room modul PREPOJ you can see on picture 8 its
connection. From machine room to lift cabin must lead 3 wires.
Picture 8: Connection of machine room communication

1.3.9 Relay connection (12V and NC/COM/NO)
The last feature of NLLW is remote control of switchable isolated contact
(relay). You can use it for remote control ( RESET of the lift), control of further
lift systems, etc… Description is on picture 9.
Picture 9: Relay connection
Screw 12V is neccessary for relay powering (power 12-24V is possible
and DC or AC voltage) because telephone line has not enough power. Screw
12V is isolated from other components and not depends on polarity. Screw
marks COM is share output of switchable contact. Screw marks NO ( normaly
open) the contact in stand by is OFF and screw marks NC (normaly close) the
contact in stand by is ON. In configuration you can programm code and time for
relay switching.
Screw 12V is neccessary for LEDs and for correct function circuit for
push button(s).

1.4 NLLW Installation
The compact solution of NLLW enables easy installation into lift cabin
panel. Dimension and installation holes are descriped on picture 10.
SPK-MIC panel
NLLW unit
Picture 10: NLLW50 dimension

NLLW contains two parts:
- NLLW unit it's meanns Top cover and motherboard and bottom cover
- SPK-MIC panel - this panel is possible by screews mechanicaly fixed
with NLLW unit
Version A makes it possible connect three SPK-MIC panels.
The lift cabin panel should be equiped by acoustic holes in microphone as
same as speaker part. It should be also provides by 4 screws M4 for fixing the
SPK-MIC panel. The proper mechanical installation essentially influence
acoustic parametres of the unit. Particularly microphone and speaker should be
fixed tightly to acoustic holes in panel.
Attention: microphone has polarity- red is + !!!

Table 1 : Signalling used in LLW

2.2 Calling from LLW
The functionality of NLLW is influenced by connection of further lift
components (failure notification, relay,...) as same as by setting of NLLW
parametres (via. chapter 4 –P / page24).
2.2.1 Emergency call (button activation)
The emergency call is basic and most important feature of NLLW. It is
activated by button pressing (screw BTN). To provide correct functionality you
must keep 2 conditions:
First condition is that , button blocking is not active. Please note that
blocking might be either by leading voltage 5-24V or by disconnection this
voltage.
Second condition is that button you must hold enough time. It is
adjustable from 0,5 sec to 5 sec.
Button pressing has priority before other calls (service, failure even
incoming). If is being a call ( not emergency) the call is stoped and starts
emergency call procedure.
During emergency call is active both way voice communication. During
establishing call is lighting yellow indicator . After call connection –call
confirmation –green indicator light up.
Emergency call dial progressivelly stored numbers (1÷6 position). It starts
from position 1 up to position which is not programmed. It means when you
programm numbers to all 6 position then progressivelly dial all 6 numbers.
When you erase number on position 3 then dial numbers on position 1 and 2
and returns back to position 1. You can also programm how many times the
round (programmed numbers on position 1-6 should be repeated ( 1 to 5
times). While is emergency call the button does not react on other pressing and
even more any other stage might not break emergency call procedure.
The machine room call only can break emergency call (chapter 2.2.6
page.21). The last point of emergency call is call confirmation . At every
emergency number ( position 1-6) you can select confirmation or not. (chapter
2.2.5 –page.20.). Dialling is stoped after call connection.
2.2.2 Calling from INPUT - Failure call
Calling from activated input INPUT is named failure calling - set
parameter 391. The NLLW enables to make notification about lift failure for
service department. The call is activated by voltage change ( 5-24V ON/OFF)
on input INPUT. It is adjustable in setting. As follow you can select time how
long must be change on input INPUT to start failure calling.
Failure calling has own number which might be of course the same as
emergency or service call number. You can also select if will be dialling only
this number or all round of emergeny numbers ( then you have max 7
numbers) .

NLLW 50 –‚User guide
20
Failure calling is not repeated. It means that all numbers are calling only
once And then NLLW hang up. Further round might be activated only by new
change on input INPUT. The voltage must returns back to stand by mode. The
change on input INPUT must happen again. During failure calling are all other
features available.
During failure calling is not lighting any indicator. It is not voice
communication. The call is generating beeps –via. Table 1 page. 18.
2.2.3 Calling from INPUT - Technical call
Calling from activated input INPUT is named technical calling - set
parameter 390. This call is acoustic - possible talking and indication LEDs is
like as Emergency call. Telephone number and other features is same like as
failure call.
2.2.4 Service calling ( from timer)
Service calling is optional parameter. You alsé define if this parameter is
activated since first connection of NLLW to telephone line.This service calling is
adjustable from 1 to 9 day period, for example 3 means that NLLW is make
automatically every 3th day a call to preprogrammed number. (test of NLLW
functionality).
For service calling you programm special number which might be of
course the same as emergency or failure calling number. You can also select if
will be dialling only this number or all round of emergeny numbers ( then you
have max 7 numbers) .
The service calling is repeated in period 0-9 min ( programmable) until
succesfull call ( confirmation). The repeated time between calls is
programmable because to service department can call more NLLW. To avoid
of problem that service department line is busy you can programm different
time period for service calling up installation place.
During failure calling is not lighting any indicator. It is not voice
communication. The call is generating beeps –via. Table 1 page. 18.
2.2.5 End of calling –call confirmation
The NLLW enables to programm at every number if will be confirm or
not. Every call needs authorisation if it was succesfull or not. Therefore analog
line doesnt support any kind of authorisation (signalling) we can define success
of call by 2 ways. The NLLW needs this info to not dial further numbers.
First way (no confirmation) is detection that call was succesfull on the
base control ringing tone (CRT). It is tone which we are hearing in handset
when make call to other subscriber. Thed NLLW detects this tone And when is
missing for certain time then evaluate the call was succesfull (Green indicator
light up and yellow light down). The time which define undetection of CRT (
called part picks up) is adjustable because each type of PBX can be different.
Usually should be 5 seconds as the best. At this call authorisation stays
possibility confirm the call by dial confirmation characters (*xxxxxx, where
