Description of alarm cycle

A) – Stand-By: When in this status, the AMIGO telephone can receive external calls; it will reply after the choosen amount of rings.

B) – No-panic message.

C) – Autodialling of emergency numbers stored in memory. If all programmed numbers are called without reply for the programmed number of times, the line is disconnected, the “alarm sent” LED stays on and the Emergency Telephone returns to the stand-by mode, ready to start a new alarm cycle.

D) – Protocol set ? (Yes / No).

E) – Answer within the time set (Yes / No).

F) – If the Amigo II is connected to a DTMF tones enabled communication center, all service messages and the system ID will be sent as DTMF tones. Voice messages are therefore disabled.

G) – Reason for call / Identification / Instructions. Attention: The telephone must be enabled for communication via DTMF tones.

H) – Two-way communication.

I) – Attention: The telephone must be enabled for communication via DTMF tones.

I1) – End of alarm

I2) – End of conversation.

I3) – Site Identification message.

I4) – Conversation time extended (after warning tones).

L) – Telephone remains in alarm untill a manual (on the lift) or remote reset is performed.

Installation

Configurations

Standard configuration
A) – Just pick up the handset to talk to the other installed devices.
Configuration with Pitagora V3
A) – Just pick up the handset to talk to the other installed devices.
Configuration with Pitagora 4.0
A) – Just pick up the handset to talk to the other installed devices.

Detail of connection

Wiring Instructions

Basic wirings

ETSA2MRA telephone dialer (installed in the elevator car)
1) – Connect the Emergency Telephone to the devices ETSA2SLA (if present).
2) – Connect the phone line to terminals 11 and 12.
3) – Connect the alarm pushbutton (NO/C or NC/C ) to its input (see Programming menù) .
4) – Connect the 12V DC power source to terminals 1(+) and 2(-); power up the Emergency phone subsequently.
5) – Make sure the screen shows “DMG – AMIGO2” followed by software version number (ex. “v.2.2”).
6) – To make sure the telephone line is present, perform the basic programming and press the Alarm button.
7) – To end the alarm cycle test, press the (*) key.

Detail of connection with Pitagora 4.0 system

A) – Connection required because the display must remain on even in the event of a blackout in order to view the telephone signals.
Device ETSA2SLA
GSM external module

The external module AMIGO GSM allows to connect the AMIGO to GSM network, thereby avoiding the need of the fixed phone line.
Board for triphonie wiring Pitagora
Emergency power supply test (§ 4.1.3 of EN 81-28 norm)
Amigo Emergency telephone can be connected to the Playboard V3 controller battery (Pitagora V3 system) or to the ETS8128CH3/7 battery charger (optionals) with 12V external battery.
When power in tension falls below 10V, Amigo sends out a service call with the “Low battery charge” message. When the 12V line in is restored, a service call with the “Regular operation” message is sent (see Programming menù).
If the emergency telephone has firmware 2.5.0 or higher, for ETS8128CH2 power supply compatibility set the parameter “ETS8128CH3 = 0” (see Programming menù)
In case of low battery, the alarm signalization and communication established signalization blink simultaneously (1 sec. ON / 1 sec. OFF).

Advanced wirings

Alarm Filtering (§ 4.1.5 of EN 81-28 norm)
When made available by the controller (or by any other device in the installation), information relating to the opening of the doors (floor/elevator car) and to the presence of the elevator car at floor can be used to filter undue alarms (§ 4.2.1 of EN 81-28 norm).
For this purpose, connect the potential-free contact between the ALARM FILTER input of the Emergency Telephone and the screw terminal n°7 (COM/GND).
Full compliance to EN81-28 norm shall be achieved by connecting AMIGO Telephone to an external Rescue Service (Call Center or the like).
Connecting multiple telephones on a single telephone line
End of alarm

A) – Alarm Reset
The message “END OF ALARM” will be played and a call (data / voice) of “End of alarm” will be made to the service center in order to be able to record the intervention time. However, the remote RESET function remains available (see Remote parameters’ setting table – code 20).

B) – Manual Test
It is possible to bypass the alarm filter by pressing and holding the alarm button for 20 ÷ 30 sec (see Remote parameters’ setting table – code 11).

Advanced Functions

See also Programming menu

Automatic ID message (§ 4.1.6 of EN 81-28 norm)
If enabled, device will automaticaly generate the Address message synthesizing
telephone’s ID number.
Automatic call closed recognition
If enabled, telephone will try to automatically understand if the operator hanged handset without pressing ‘8’. The event is based on the recognition of busy tone coming from the line and may not work well in every country.
Unit ID in multiline configuration
If many telephones are to be installed on the same line (up to 9), every device can be tagged with a unit identifier that can be used by the remote operator to select the one he want’s to talk with.
Selection is needed when operator calls the telephone on the lift and is performed by just selecting the Unit ID on his keypad.
There must be a telephone with ID1; all ID’s must be different.
Automatic double language messages
You can configure Amigo telephone to automatically play elevator car messages in two languages.
Audio messages playback controll
You can choose whether Amigo telephone must play audio messages or not during the call cycle. Option “Only in Cabin” enables car messages playback only (user messages):
– Courtesy Car Message
– End Alarm Message
– Technical test Message
– Alarm filter Message
Self-test call 72h (EN81-28 § 4.2.1)
The Amigo Emergency Telephone can be programmed to carry out the self-test call every 72 hours as prescribed by the EN 81-28 standard.
The frequency of the self-test can be programmed between 24, 48 or 72 hours; when the timer expires, the phone will make a call to the service number. If a communication protocol is set, the listening unit will reply with codes specific to that protocol to signal the success of the test to the Amigo; in case the protocol is set to “none”, a voice call will be made and the operator who answers the call will be required to press the “8” key to end the call successfully.
Should the call fail for any reason, the Amigo would signal the event by turning on the Alarm Sent (yellow) and Communication Established (green) LEDs in an alternating pattern, until the next successful call (either self-test or emergency call).

To disable automatic calling, set the self-test calling frequency to 0 (zero)


In order for the self-test to work correctly, these parameters must be set:
(3) Service call number
(4) Address message (only in case of operation with “no protocol”)
(5) Self Test (set a timing between 24-48-72 hours)
(6) ID number: in case of operation using a protocol, this number is supplied by the call center; in case of operation with “no protocol” a number is still required (user choice, maximum 16 digits).
(7) Protocol type: set the protocol used by the call center or “None” to have the Amigo make standard voice calls.
(EXPERT USER menu) Automatic identity message: this parameter must be enabled in case of operation with “no protocol”, otherwise the self-test call will automatically fail.
