Lexicomm ViLX-ACA Assist Call Alarm WC System
The Lexicomm ViLX-ACA Assist Call Alarm WC System provides a simple solution to integrating emergency assist alarm call systems within an EVCS, providing a single display point for all disabled calls within a building.
It can be used on a dedicated line, or may share a line with the ViLX-OSB disabled refuge outstation (as long as fire rated cable is used), where operation of the refuge point overrides the assistance call (ideal where a disabled toilet is adjacent to a refuge lobby).
When a call is made the over-door and cancel units emit a two tone siren with the “Halo” flashing, when the call is acknowledged from the EVCS controller the “Halo” on these units lights steadily and the tone double beeps every 15 seconds to reassure the caller help is on the way.
As the ViLX-ACA is connected to a Lexicomm master station the plates and cables are fully end of line monitored and battery backed as standard.
The ViLX-ACA plates are supplied with a brushed stainless finish and a Blue HALO to aid location.
