DESCRIPTION Page 7
DESCRIPTION
HelpyL200 TL is an alarm system especially developed for elevators in
compliance with EN81-28:2004.
The main function is to make automatic calls to the programmed telephone
numbers if a person is trapped in the elevator and to establish a two-way
communication between the trapped person and the rescue service. The device
can also make calls to inform about malfunctioning or anomalies of the alarm
system and automatic test calls on a regular basis (in compliance with section
4.2.1 of the EN81:28:2004 standard).
The device is typically installed on the lift top and can be programmed and
used with an ordinary multi-frequency telephone, defined as “local telephone"
in the manual, directly connected to the device.
MAIN FUNCTIONALITIES AND FEATURES
•It can be connected to the fixed public telephone network (standard
operation mode) or to the GSM line (by installing the Esse-ti GSM200
proprietary module).
•Types of alarm:
-Emergency-call alarm: max. 2 pushbuttons, of which, typically, one
button for the elevator car and one optional button for the pit. Each
pushbutton can be matched with a handsfree device (Esse-ti
“active” handsfree terminal) for establishing a two-way
communication with a remote center or with the local telephone
located in the elevator machine room. Alternatively to standard
active handsfree terminals (to be connected to the Helpy L200 TL
independent output VV2), you can connect max. one Esse-ti
proprietary “passive” handsfree device in parallel to each active
handsfree terminal. In the car, for example, you can use one passive
handsfree terminal connected in parallel to the active handsfree
terminal of the lift top. For information on connection please refer
to the instructions supplied with the passive handsfree device.
-Technological alarms:

Page 8 DESCRIPTION
-dead battery
-no power supply
-1 input for auxiliary alarm
-Self-diagnostics alarm
•Automatic Test Call (EN-81:28 4.2.1).
•12 telephone numbers that, upon programming, can be individually
associated with:
-emergency-call alarm
-technological alarms and diagnostics
-automatic test call
•3 types of alarm destination:
-Ordinary telephone users
-Service Center with Ademco contact ID protocol
-Service Center with Esse-ti protocol (HeCall).
In case of standard telephone users, the person who answers the calls must
enter suitable programmable codes to manage the alarm. In case of Call
Centers with automatic protocols and software, please refer to the
corresponding documentation.
Each type of alarm can be associated with multiple telephone numbers
(that will be called in a sequence), also with different destination types.
•1 filter input for an external sensor in order to avoid emergency call alarms
when the car is at the floor and all doors are open or the car is moving and
the doors will open at the next floor. The filter has no effect on button 2
(pit), if any.
•Voice Messages:
-Customisable elevator identification message (max. 11 seconds). It
must be recorded during installation.
-Courtesy message broadcast in the car after the emergency call has
been sent out by the trapped person (8 seconds). The device is
provided with a pre-recorded courtesy message. Alternatively, you
can record your own courtesy message.
-Pre-recorded messages that identify the type of alarm (not
customizable).
•Management of ALARM GIVEN INDICATOR LIGHT and ALARM
RECORDED INDICATOR LIGHT.
•1 relay for door-opener.
•Local Programming through the local telephone. Remote programming
through DTMF telephone or Esse-ti programming software.

DESCRIPTION Page 9
The device has three priority levels associated with the alarm events.
•High priority: emergency call buttons
•Medium priority: technological alarms
•Low priority: automatic test, diagnostics.
Higher priority alarms temporarily abort lower priority alarms (thus the
emergency call alarm aborts all the others). When the higher priority alarm
ends, the system resumes the previously aborted alarm procedure.

Page 10 OPERATION
OPERATION
OPERATION IN IDLE STATE
In idle state the device (if these checks are enabled):
•Checks the battery status every 2 hours (“dead battery” technological alarm
must have been previously enabled);
•Checks the operation of the alarm system (diagnostics) every day at
programmable time;
If the one of these checks shows a malfunction (dead battery or malfunction
detected by the diagnostics procedure) the device starts the alarm procedure
described in “Alarm calls”.
•Makes a periodical automatic test call in compliance with EN 81-28:2004
with programmable frequency.
At the time set for the periodic automatic test call the device will call the
programmed number (or numbers).

INSTALLATION Page 11
INSTALLATION
Recommendations
•Keep the cables away from high voltage cables or other cables that may
produce electromagnetic interference.
•Do not lay telephone cables near the 230V mains.
•To protect the telephone line, connect the terminal shown with in the
connection diagram to the earth terminal.
MOUNTING
The device is normally installed on the elevator car top .
¾Drill four holes on the car-top as shown in the picture:

Page 12 INSTALLATION
GSM200 module connection
¾Please see also the GSM200 User Manual.
¾Check that jumper JP5 (on HelpyL200 TL) is in position 2-3.
¾Connect the cable supplied with the GSM module to connector RJ-45.

It is recommended to extract the terminals, make the connections and place the
terminals back into the correct position.
¾Connect the local telephone (for programming and managing HelpyL200
TL) to the TL1 terminals (irrespective of the polarity)
¾Connect the handsfree devices and the emergency-call pushbuttons:
You can install max 1 passive handsfree terminal:
¾Passive Handsfree 1 in the CAR: A, B, VV2-
Beware of the terminals polarity.
Note: Output VV2- can be used as negative pole up to max. 100mA
current.
¾Connect the “Alarm given” indicator light , which must be yellow-
colored, by means of the RL1 contacts. The indicator light switches on
after pressing the emergency button to indicate the beginning of the
alarm procedure and stays steady light until the end of the alarm cycle.
¾Connect the “Recorded alarm” indicator light (GREEN). It must be 12V,
max. 40mA
¾Connect the filter input to I1.
¾Connect the auxiliary alarm (if present) to I2.
Inputs I1 and I2 can be closed in two different ways:
•Through a contact on a negative pole (- of the hands-free) : in this
case you need to connect the C (common) terminal to +12 of
HelpyL200-TL , as shown in the diagram;
OR:
•Common (C) terminal connected to the positive pole of another
device and inputs set at -10 ÷ -20 with respect to the common
terminal in case of activation.
¾Connect a telephone to the LTO terminals. This telephone is connected
downstream of HelpyL200 TL and can use the same telephone line
utilized by HelpyL200 (in case of connection to the fixed telephone line).
¾Connect, if required, the door openers to contacts RL2.
It is also possibile to connect a siren and a LED for the emergency call button
according to the following diagram

Note: The LED is connected in series to the emergency call button
and must have no resistance in series.
¾Upon switching on, check that the device status LED stays steady for
about 5 seconds and then starts flashing. Check that the LED flashes
according to the type of connected line.
Note: In case the GSM200 Module is connected, , if the LED stays
steady for about 1 minute, check the connection between GSM
Module and HelpyL200 TL.
Note: The GSM signal level is measured every 10 seconds and can
be recognized according to the type of flashing.
¾Connect the battery (2Ah 12V), paying attention to terminal polarity. In
case of error the battery protection fuse is interrupted. In case the
device does not work properly, disconnect the batter or remove the
fuse.
¾Disconnect the device from the mains to check the battery operation
and reconnect the device to the mains.
