Add Location Announcement to

Emergency Phones

The EV-1 is the perfect solution to help
make your elevator/emergency phone
A.D.A.* compliant.

The EV-1 is a line powered emergency
voice announcer designed to add a
natural voice announcement to any
telephone. The announcer provides ten
seconds of non-volatile record time that
can be used to communicate the
location of an emergency phone, or a
piece of malfunctioning equipment.

*Americans with Disabilities Act of 1992 contains new federal
regulations regarding elevator telephones (Public Law 101-336).

After a call initiated behind the EV-1 is answered, the EV-1 repeats the announcement
continuously. Emergency personnel can stop and start the announcement at will by
dialing a Touch Tone Q.

B. Recording

The EV-1 may be recorded locally or remotely. Before recording, it is recommended that a script be written and
timed. There is 10 seconds of voice record time available. The script should contain information about the location
of the emergency call as well as how to start and stop the announcement.

Example: “Elevator number 1215, located in the Trade Center Building needs assistance. Press the star key on

our telephone to stop and start this announcement.”

1. Local Recording

a. Connect the LINE IN jack to a telephone line or analog PABX/KSU extension.
b. Set dip Switch 2 to the ON position.
c. Connect a standard Touch Tone telephone into the TO PHONE jack.
d. Take the phone off-hook and dial a Touch Tone 1. Start recording your announcement after hearing two
beeps. Dial a 4 to play back the recording.
e. When the ten seconds of record time has expired, the LED will go off and you will hear two more beeps. If

your announcement is less than 10 seconds in length, set dip Switch 2 to the OFF position to stop the
recording.

Operation

When an outbound call is initiated, the EV-1 remains silent and monitors for precise ring back tones. After the EV-1 has
determined that the call has been answered (5 - 10 seconds), it begins repeating the recorded announcement
continuously. You may then stop the announcement at any time with a Touch Tone Q. Upon detecting the Q, the EV-1
will play the remainder of the announcement in progress, and then stop. When the announcement has stopped, the
emergency personnel may communicate with the person at the emergency phone. The announcement may be started
again by pressing the Q.
