Fixing the unit behind the COP
Follow the simple steps below to install the C100 Base behind the COP panel.
1. Drill xing holes2. Cut the grill pattern and
LED indicator holes
The C100 BASE is supplied with a self-adhesive gasket on the face of the unit.
In the absence of studs or screw holes in the COP the gasket may be used to
ax the C100 BASE to the COP.
To obtain optimum adhesion, the bonding surfaces must be clean, dry and
well unied. A typical surface cleaning solvent is isopropyl alcohol. Use proper
safety precautions for handling solvents.
3. Fix the unit in place
The external microphone is supplied with a 40mm long cable and mounting
plate (see image right).
Programming Options
+ One touch programming (using the programming tool)

ETR Software
The Memco C100 ETR software,
allows users to set up and maintain
their own database of lift emergency
telephones.
The software can be used to receive
emergency calls, test calls and
equipment monitoring for up to
4,000 lifts per system.
Additionally, the software can
remotely program the telephone
units, saving time and money and
reducing the number of site visits
required.
You have now nished the basic programming.
If you are in an option, press û to return to the
Quick Start Menu. Then, to exit programming
mode, Press û and select the action required
(by pressing ü) upon exiting from this list.

2, Alarm No. 3 etc.
Tech. no.
The C100 can place Technical alert calls to signal faults with the system.
A Technical alert is a non-scheduled event e.g. from a Technical Input or
low battery with no main power.
All other diagnostics are checked during a scheduled Background Call
(see below). As standard this number is attempted the number of times
indicated by the 5th digit in Call Attempts (see below Call Attempts)
screen before waiting for the next technical alarm.
If using Avire ETR software select the ‘Memco’ protocol.
Background no.
To set up the EN81-28 three day test call (background test call)
programme the required telephone number here.
If using Avire ETR software select the ‘Memco’ protocol.
Call Attempts
The number of attempts the C100 will make to contact each telephone
number (maximum is 9 attempts per number).
The default is ‘999999’; each digit identies one of the six programmed
telephone numbers.

Changes the dialling sequence; all
call attempts to the rst number are
completed before unit attempts to call

Allows system to work with an
intermittent dial tone.
Units gives a verbal countdown until
the emergency call is placed.
Require a passcode to be entered

is where the C100 will automatically
connect to another extension within
the building telephone exchange.
When an operator answers an alarm
call, the C100 will automatically play
the location message.
NOTE: when programming in the alarm
numbers ‘UNGUIDED’ protocol must
be selected (see section on Alarm
Numbers for more detail).
During an alarm call the C100 will not

HW Monitoring
Hardware monitoring sets which system elements are checked

Default settings are shown below:
HW Monitoring >
Delays
The delays can be set to alter the length of the delay before the unit
places a call.
COP delays - How long (in seconds) each of the alarm buttons, in the
COP, needs to be pressed before an emergency call is placed. Default
is 3 seconds
AS delay - Local voice alarm station (LVAS) and remote alarm station
(RAS). How long (in seconds) each of the alarm buttons needs to be
pressed before an emergency call is placed. Default is 3 seconds.
Tech delay - Relates to the delay before a technical call is placed,
upon receiving a fault signal from a connected third party device using
Technical Input.
Hang up delay - Sets time (in minutes) before C100 hangs up a call
(talk time).
Answer delay - the number of rings the C100 must detect before
answering any incoming calls. Where multiple C100 are sharing a line,
they must all have the same Answer Delay set.
Redial del. - Sets a delay (in seconds) between the C100 dialling
dierent numbers. A setting of 0 (the default setting) will de-activate
this feature.
VAD Timeout - Sets a time out (in seconds) whereby if the C100 does
not detect voice on the line it will automatically terminate the call. A
setting of 0 (the default setting) will de-activate this feature.
Reduces the dial tone detection test from 7 seconds
to 3 seconds – prevents issues with exchanges
timing out after 4 seconds.
Allows the C100 to detect speech before the rst
ring pulse has been sent down the line,
Requires the C100 to detect a dial tone before it
attempts to dial out.
If the phone line to the C100 is cut, the unit will
play an audible warning message. The message
will repeat every 3 minutes unit the phone line is
restored.
