JANUS LMA-NC Line Monitor Alert Instructions Manual

JANUS LMA-NC Line Monitor Alert

Overview

The JANUS LMA-NC Line Monitor Alert board provides visual and audible alerts when detecting a contact closure at the alert input. The alert input of the LMA board can be connected to the phone line monitoring output (AUX2) of any Janus Elevator Product that includes it. This allows monitoring the status of the phone line on a Janus Elevator phone or any other ADA phone equipped with such output. For detailed guidance on ADA phone operation, see the Janus ADA Telephone G3 Line Powered Instruction Manual.

Installation

1. Install the JANUS ADA Telephone G3 Line Powered by mounting it securely on the car station.
2. Attach the red lens cap and bezel to the ¼” hole on the car station.
3. Insert the LED into the lens cap and plug the wire into the white LED1 connector.
4. Attach emergency button leads to the green connector at “BUT”.
5. Attach the phone line to the green connector at “TEL” or the P1 (TELCO) modular phone jack if available.

Programming Set-Up Methods

There are two methods for programming the JANUS ADA Telephone G3 Line Powered. Select the one applicable to your situation as described below.

1. From any touch-tone phone, call the phone number to which the elevator phone is connected.
2. After four rings (or if the “HELP” button is pressed), the JANUS ADA Telephone G3 Line Powered will turn on automatically, and you will hear a diddle-diddle-diddle sound.
3. Go to the “Programming Instructions” section to continue. After programming the phone, you should test it by pressing the “HELP” button. The test will ensure the phone is functioning correctly and as programmed.

Using the Keypad on the Board to Program it.

1. Connect a 9-volt battery to the battery clips on the board.
2. Wait 30 seconds and then press the “PROGRAM” button above the keypad.
3. Make sure that the red light of the JANUS ADA Telephone G3 Line Powered turns on. If it does not, go back to step 3 and start again.
4. The elevator phone will turn on, and you will hear a diddle-diddle-diddle sound.
5. Go to the “Programming Instructions” section.
6. When you have completed the programming of the phone, you can unplug the 9-volt battery.
7. After programming the phone, you should test it by pressing the “HELP” button.
8. This test ensures the JANUS ADA Telephone G3 Line Powered is functioning correctly and as programmed.

Troubleshooting Guide

When experiencing issues with the JANUS ADA Telephone G3 Line Powered, always visually check the phone for loose or shorted wires, physically damaged, or missing components. This phone will not work on a digital phone line and only functions properly on an analog phone line or an analog port from a digital phone system. Problem: Phone would not turn ʻONʼ

• Check the phone line connection.
• Check phone line voltage (normal C.O. line 48-52VDC or 20- 35VDC – internal systems)
• Try connecting a fully charged 9-Volt battery. ry
• Check if the unit is pulling down the line voltage (you should read the\ same as the phone line voltage)
• Check the voltage at the controller
• Check the button connection
• Check to see if the phone is on a ring-down line
• Check to see if another auto-dialer is on the line and remove it
• Reprogram unit
• Check speaker connection (see P.C. Board Diagram)
• Try calling into the unit and speaking to the person in the car
• Measure the resistance of the speaker, which should read approximately 40-45ohms
• Check the button connection
• Try a spare pair of wires through the traveling cable
• Check if the wire is running through the hoistway by itself
• Check if there is loud background noise in the cab
• Check the location of the microphone
• Check the mounting of the unit
• Hold the unit in hand and test
• Try adjusting the speaker and microphone volumes
• Check if other devices are on the line
• Check the voltage on the phone line
• Check polarity on the phone line
• Make sure the unit is off
• Remove the unit from the line to see if the line is still busy
• Check the phone line connection
• Check ring voltage (min. 30VRMS)

FAQs

Q: How does the Line Monitor Alert work?

The gadget keeps an eye on the phone line’s voltage all the time. The alarm indicator (LED or buzzer) turns on when the voltage falls below a certain threshold or the line is unplugged, and an external alert system may be triggered by a relay output.

Q: What does “LMA-NC” stand for?

“NC” stands for Normally Closed relay contacts, which means the relay circuit stays closed during regular operation and opens when a fault or line drop is detected. “LMA” stands for Line Monitor Alert.

Q: What is the input voltage range for monitoring?

Usually detecting line voltages between 24 and 52 volts DC, the device sounds a warning when the voltage falls much below the operational threshold (e.g., under 10 volts).

Q: What power supply does the unit require?

The LMA-NC uses very little current from the monitored line because it is a self-powered device. For increased usefulness, some versions might accept an external 12V or 24V DC input.

Q: How do I connect the relay output?

By default, the relay contacts are Normally Closed (NC). Connect the relay terminals to your external alarm system in accordance with its voltage and current requirements, which are typically 0.5A/125V AC or 1A/30V DC.

Q: How can I test the unit?

The LED and relay output should react within a few seconds when one side of the phone line is disconnected or a voltage drop is simulated, indicating normal functionality.

Q: Is it suitable for VoIP or digital lines?

No, analogue DC-based telephone lines are the intended use for the LMA-NC. On digital, fiber-optic, or VoIP-based lines without line voltage, it won’t work properly.
