Why pay for a dedicated line for your
elevator/emergency phone or alarm panel?
The LSR-1 Line Seizure Relay allows the
user to share an existing phone line with an
emergency phone or other priority alarm
device. This can save hundreds of dollars a
year over leasing a dedicated phone line.
The LSR-1 can be used on any CO line or
analog PABX/KSU station.
Note: Connecting more than one set of
microphone and speaker combinations to
the LSR-1 may infringe on US Patent
5,386,463.
Important: When the emergency device is in
use, the phone line is not available for normal
use. Any additional emergency calls will have
to be made on another phone line. For this
reason the LSR-1 is not recommended for
single line applications.

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.
Installation
Note: Due to the two second access time for fresh dial tone, emergency phones should be
programmed with a 4 second pause in the beginning of the dialing string.
Step 1 Make an outbound call on the device connected to the STD PHONE port.
Step 2
While maintaining the first call come “off hook” with the device connected to
the EMERG PHONE port. The first call should be interrupted and the device
connected to the EMERG PHONE port should receive fresh dial tone.
Step 3 Hang up the devices on both ports.
Step 4 Call the line attached to the LSR-1 and verify that ring is passing to the STD
PHONE port.
Step 5 Unplug power to the LSR-1.
Step 6 Come off-hook with the device connected to the EMERG PHONE port and
verify that the dial tone is returned.

Operation
The LSR-1 Line Seizure Relay allows a standard phone line, analog PABX station, or
Centrex loop start line to be shared with an emergency phone, alarm system or any other
telecom device that needs instant access to a phone line. When the emergency device
comes off hook, the line is disconnected for two seconds to access fresh dial tone, then
reconnected to the emergency device.
The LSR-1 connects the incoming phone line to the device connected to the STD PHONE
port. The EMERG PHONE port is supplied with internally generated 32V DC talk battery.
When an “off hook” condition is sensed at the EMERG PHONE port, an internal relay breaks
the connection to the STD PHONE and holds both devices off the line simulating a two
second hang up. Another relay then connects the EMERG PHONE to the incoming line.
The emergency device receives fresh dial tone and is now able to dial out.
All incoming calls are routed to the STD PHONE port unless power is removed from the
LSR-1. To program or call into a device connected to the EMERG PHONE port, disconnect
the power to the LSR-1 and call into the unit.
ADA* Compliant Emergency Phones with Built-In Digital Voice Announcer
The 1600A Series ADA Compliant Emergency Phones are designed to provide quick and reliable handsfree
communication for any standard analog telephone line or analog phone system station port. All 1600A Series
phones meet ADA requirements for elevator/ emergency telephones, and can be programmed from any touch
tone phone. The phones can dial up to 5 programmable emergency numbers, as well as 2 central station
numbers. In addition, the E-1600-20A and E-1600-52A feature a second "INFO" button that will dial up to 3
non-emergency numbers.
The 1600A Series phones can be programmed to automatically deliver a digital announcement to identify the
location of the emergency call. Alternatively, a DTMF touch tone code may also be delivered. A “Call Connected”
LED can be initiated manually or automatically. All programming parameters, including phone numbers and
location numbers, are stored in non-volatile memory. All units are phone line powered, requiring no batteries or
external power and are compatible with common Central Station Monitoring equipment.
For outdoor installations where the unit is exposed to precipitation or condensation, select 1600A Series phones
are available with Enhanced Weather Protection (EWP).

and other electrical surges.
PART 15 LIMITATIONS
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used
in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful
interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
FCC REQUIREMENTS
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules and the requirements adopted by the
ACTA. On the side of this equipment is a label that contains, among other information, a product
identifier in the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. If requested, this number must be provided to the
telephone company.
The REN is used to determine the number of devices that may be connected to a telephone line.
Excessive REN's on a telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in response to an
incoming call. In most but not all areas, the sum of the REN's should not exceed five (5.0) To be
certain of the number of devices that may be connected to a line, as determined by the total REN's,
contact the local telephone company. For products approved after July 23, 2001, the REN for this
product is part of the product identifier that has the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits
represented by ## are the REN without a decimal point (e.g., 03 is a REN of 0.3). For earlier
products, the REN is separately shown on the label.
The plug used to connect this equipment to the premises wiring and telephone network must
comply with the applicable FCC Part 68 rules and requirements adopted by the ACTA. If your
home has specially wired alarm equipment connected to the telephone line, ensure the installation
of this LSR-1 does not disable your alarm equipment. If you have questions about what will disable
alarm equipment, consult your telephone company or a qualified installer.
If the LSR-1 causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company will notify you in
advance that temporary discontinuance of service may be required. But if advance notice isn't
practical, the telephone company will notify the customer as soon as possible. Also, you will be
advised of your right to file a complaint with the FCC if you believe it is necessary.
The telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations, or procedures
that could affect the operation of the equipment. If this happens, the telephone company will
provide advance notice in order for you to make the necessary modifications to maintain
uninterrupted service.
