General Master Station Information
The Master Station and the S3C phones connected to it can be a very versatile system
and multi-functional. The Master station can make the programming of the S3C phones it’s
connected to very easy and quick, especially on a large job. The Master Station allows up to
8 units to share a single telephone line.
Master Station Capabilities
1. Can be used to communicate directly to S3C phones connected to it.
2. Can be used as a telephone.
3. Can join an already established call placed by the S3C elevator phone.
4. Can communicate with the S3C phones connected to it individually or all at once.
5. Can be used as an intercom system if a phone line is not present. Note: S3C elevator
phones will NOT have the ability to initiate a call to an outside line or the master station if
a phone line is not present at the Master Station.
6. If there is a telephone line failure the Master Station can still communicate to each
elevator using it’s intercom mode. Note: The S3C elevator phone can NOT initiate a call
to the Master Station.
7. Can program any S3C phone remotely that is connected to it. Note: Unit numbers must
already be programmed in the S3C elevator phones in order to accomplish this.
System Capabilities
The entire system of Master Station and S3C elevator phones can be used in two ways. The
first way is with a telephone line present. With a telephone line present the Master Station
can act as a normal telephone and the S3C elevator phones can call an outside line or an
extension if on an analog PBX port via the emergency call button.
The system can also be used as just an intercom. If a telephone line is not present the
Master Station can communicate with a ceiling mounted version of the S3C elevator phone.
But in this mode the Master Station can’t be used as a normal telephone to call an outside
line, and since the S3C elevator phone is ceiling mounted, it has no button for the capability of
calling an outside line.
This system really comes in handy in the event of a phone line outage. If you have the
system connected to a telephone line and the line goes out, the S3C elevator phones will not
be able to make an emergency call. In the instance that this event occurs the Master Station
can still call the S3C emergency elevator phones because the system can also be used as an
intercom automatically should this event occur.

Using the Master Station
The Master Station is used to communicate to each S3C phone it’s connected to individually
or all at the same time. The S3C elevator phones still have the ability to call an outside line
by pushing the emergency call button. The S3C phone does NOT have the ability to call the
Master Station. The Master Station can call any elevator phone or it can join a call that has
already been established by the S3C in the elevator.
Calling Elevator from the Master Station
STEP 1 Press
VOL UP on the Master Station keypad. The phone will say “enter unit number to
speak to that phone or zero to speak to all phones.”
STEP 2 Press the unit number to the corresponding phone you’d like to contact.
STEP 3 Once communication has been established you will have two-way communication
between the Master Station and the S3C in the elevator. Once the conversation
is over press TALK
/ END on the Master Station. The S3C elevator phone will hang up
automatically. Hanging up the handset on the Master Station will NOT end the
conversation, it will just put the Master Station into speakerphone mode.
Calling Outside Line from the Master Station
The Master Station can be used as a normal telephone as well as an intercom to the elevator
cars as long as you have a valid telephone line connected.
STEP 1 Press
TALK
/ END on the keypad of the Master Station. The phone will say “enter number
to be called”.
STEP 2 Using the keypad dial the number you want to call as if using a normal telephone.
STEP 3 After the conversation is over press the TALK
/ END key again to hang up the Master
Station. Hanging up the handset will NOT hang up the phone, it will just put the
Master Station into speakerphone mode.

Programming S3C from Master Station
The Master Station has the capability of programming the S3C phones that are connected to it
remotely. In order to do this the unit numbers must be programmed into the phones first. You
can do this by programming it on the onboard keypad of each phone or programming the unit
number remotely with only one phone connected at a time.
Program from the Master Station
STEP 1 Press the
VOL UP key on the Master Station Keypad. The phone will say “enter unit
number to speak to that phone or zero to speak to all phones.
STEP 2 Press the number to the corresponding phone you want to program. You are not
allowed to press zero to program all the phones at once.
STEP 3 Once communication has been established you will hear inside the elevator cab
and will have two-way communication. Press 55on the Master Station
keypad. Two-way communication will cease and you will then hear a menu prompt.
STEP 4 Press
2to program or press VOL UP then 0to disconnect from the phone.
STEP 5 Once in programming mode you can program anything into the phone as if you
were calling in remotely. Use the quick programming guide starting on page 5 to
program the phone, use the full programming instructions starting on page 8, or use
the flow chart on page 24.
STEP 6 When you are finished programming, press VOL UP then 0to hang up the S3C
elevator phone. Then press TALK
/ END to hang up the Master Station. Hanging up
the handset on the Master Station will NOT hang up the phone, it will just put the
Master Station in speakerphone mode.

Introduction
There are two ways to program the Wurtec S3C: 1) locally [using onboard keypad and battery
or external power supply] or 2) remotely [accessing the S3C from another location by calling
it]. We recommend programming LOCALLY.
Power Requirements: External 12-24V AC/DC isolated from earth ground at 200 mA or
higher. The rechargeable 9V battery should be rated 150 mAh or better.
Use the program keys on the onboard keypad to program Emergency Phone Numbers and
Site ID Message. You can perform these programming procedures and access all available
options by entering the Program Menu, which is explained on pages 9-19.
To leave any menu at any time press VOL UP then 0.
Before Programming the Wurtec Master Station
STEP 1 When programming locally be sure to have a 9V battery with adequate charge
connected to the phone or external power connected. This will energize the keypad
so it can be programmed. Keypad will NOT be active with telephone line power
only.
STEP 2 Be sure to have all the information you need programmed ready before you begin
programming the phone. The phone will repeat itself every three seconds until
the information is programmed into the phone or you press VOL UP then 0to exit
programming mode.
STEP 3 Do NOT be afraid to program the Master Station. The phone at any point can be
programmed backed to factory defaults (see page 11) if a mistake is made. Also
take note that if information is programmed incorrectly the first time, just follow
the steps of programming again and it will overwrite the previous program. For
example, if an incorrect phone number was programmed, follow the steps of
programming the phone number again and the latest number programmed would
be the one saved to the phone.
STEP 4 If you are having trouble getting the keypad to work for programming at this point,
please see the trouble shooting section on page 20. The trouble shooting page
also has our help line number for any questions or problems.

Quick Set-Up (from onboard keypad)
Programming Site Identification Message
STEP 1 Press the
SITE ID
MSG button on the keypad.
STEP 2 Press
1to record. The phone will say “at the tone, record your message followed
by #
VOL DN . After you heard the tone, record the message and press the # VOL DN key
when finished. A typical message consists of the address, name of the building the
elevator is in, and the elevator number if more than one elevator is present, and a
call back number. The site identification message should not exceed 16 seconds.
STEP 3 If the message that has been recorded is correct you may
press VOL UP then 0to exit programming mode. If the message is incorrect and
needs to be recorded again, follow the steps for programming the site identification
message again. The new recording will automatically overwrite the old recording.
You can repeat this process until the message is correct.
