Cutting the
cable
Make sure that the modular
plugs (RJ45) on the ends
of the cable are facing the
opposite way (see picture).
Installation
The connection cable is used between the connection board (CB)
and all oor station (ES and FS) in the shaft.
Heartbeat
message
The heartbeat is a message sent continuously by all units in an
EVAC intercom system.
The message contains only the sending node’s id. It is used by the
system master (entrance station) to identify and keep track of the
units in the system.
The master’s heartbeat is used by all other units to make sure the
system is working and that the bus is working properly. When the
entrance station receives a heartbeat from a CAN-bus node for the
rst time, it sets the node to the current system mode, i.e. EVAC,
FIRE or STANDBY. Any inactive CAN-bus node (parameter can be
congured in the entrance station) is set to standby and is ignored
by the system.
When a node nds the master’s heartbeat, the CAN LED stops
ashing and is turned on fully.
A node that loses the master’s heartbeat will enter into STANDBY
mode and starts ashing the CAN-error LED.
If the master loses any active unit, the unit is removed from the
system and an error is logged.

Unit address
Each unit, except the LMS unit
and the entrance station, needs
a set address. The addresses
on the CAN 1 bus start with the
 rst car station which should
be set to 00. If two car stations
are used, the second car station
should be set to 99.
The unit furthest from the LMS
unit on the CAN 2 bus should
be set to 01, the second furthest
from the LMS unit to 02 and so
on. The entrance station and the
LMS unit does not have a set
address.
CAN termination
The two CAN buses in the LMS
unit must be terminated on the
last units of each CAN bus.
The last unit on the bus (the
unit furthest from the LMS unit)
should have the TERM switch
set to OFF. All other units
between the last unit and the
LMS unit should have TERM
ON.
If the system has two car
stations, the car station furthest
from the LMS unit (car 1) should
be set to TERM ON while the
other car station (car 2) shoud
be set to TERM OFF.
Inside the LMS unit, both CAN 1
and CAN 2 should be set to off.

In the “CONNECT” menu it is possible to connect to the car station
and all oor station registered in the system. Please note that it is
not possible to connect nodes without a node ID or nodes that
have been inactivated in the setup menu on the CAN-bus.
In the EVAC menu, the alarms received are displayed with the
current alarm oor name displayed and the current number of
queued alarms. The number of queued alarms is updated as new
alarms are received.
The alarms are queued in the order they are received. To connect
to an alarm, move to the alarm you want to connect to with the
arrow up/down, and press “ENTER” to connect. When a connection
to the alarm has been made, the alarm will be removed from the
queue.
It is always possible to connect to the car station in the EVAC menu
by pressing the left function key.
There are two ways to connect to a unit. In STANDBY mode it is
possible to connect to a unit by entering the connect menu. In
EVAC mode it is always possible to connect to the car, the oor
stations can only be connected to if an alarm has been registered
from the unit.
Connection can only be made between the entrance station and a
oor/car station.
By default the connected oor/car station will have the microphone
activated and will transmit audio onto the audio bus. The entrance
station receives audio and the speaker is activated. If the PTT
input is activated on the entrance station, the microphone will be
activated and the speaker inactivated. All other units’ speakers are
then activated and their microphones deactivated. This means that
the entrance station has priority to speak at all times.
All parameters in the EVAC system can be setup in the entrance
station’s “SETUP” menu.
All changes (apart from the real time clock) are only made in RAM.
Only when exiting the setup menu and answering “YES” to saving
the settings, the parameters will be saved into the unit.
To exit the “SETUP” menu, press and hold the left functionkey.

Operating
EVAC
The system has three main modes; STANDBY, EVAC and FIRE.
Which mode to be used are switched via inputs, usually connected
and triggered by key switches.
STANDBY mode
STANDBY mode is the default mode, where the system is idle. This
is used during most times and when turned off. On the entry station
you can enter the setup menu and the connect menu.
EVAC mode
In case of emergency where there is need to evacuate persons
from different locations (oor levels), the system can be used as an
evacuation intercom by switching it into EVAC mode. The EVAC
mode is normally triggered by the main key switch on the front of
the entry station operation panel (but other set ups are possible).
The key switch should be operated by trained personnel on
location.
When in EVAC mode, persons needing rescue can call for assis-
tance from the oor station by pushing the button. The call will then
be connected (or put in queue) to the entry station where trained
personnel can give instructions. All conversations will also be
transmitted in the car station.
Please note: The EVAC system can be congured to operate the lift
in any way.
You can congure an input to trigger the EVAC mode in the setup
menu. The system will be in EVAC mode as long as the input is set
to a high value (16 to 30 V) and the FIRE mode is not activated.
FIRE mode has a higher priority than EVAC mode. If the input is
activated while the system is in EVAC mode, it will automatically
switch to FIRE mode. When FIRE mode is deactivated, the system
will return to EVAC mode if the input is set to “high”.
FIRE mode
The FIRE mode is entered by activate an input, typically connected
to a “re ghters key” strategically placed in the building. This will
turn the system into a “push to talk” type intercom between the
entry station and the car station. It is also possible to add 2 more
pre-dened oor stations to the intercom if needed. This makes it
possible to have a constant communication with e.g. a re ghter
inside the lift car, and a team/rescue leader on the entry oor.
You can congure an input to trigger FIRE mode in the setup menu.
As long as the input is active, the system will be in FIRE mode.
Floor stations and car stations that are congured as re units in the
setup menu will switch into FIRE mode. All other units will remain in
STANDBY mode, the default mode.
