The LC-6 Line Concentrator eliminates the monthly
charges for a dedicated line to each elevator. The LC-6 is
designed to be used with the Viking 1600A Series Elevator
Phones. Up to six of these emergency phones can communicate with authorized personnel on 3 other phones within a
building, or add a telephone line to allow communication
outside the building. A call initiated by an emergency phone
can dial internally, externally, or both. Any other phones that
are activated will be bridged with authorized personnel, thus
fulfilling ASME A17.1 requirements.
All telephone line inbound calls are answered by the LC-6.
A touch tone command will route the call to any of the
phone ports. If no command is detected within 4 seconds, the call will be routed to the last emergency
phone that was used. This allows emergency personnel to easily call back to the same phone.
Connections include a Fire Floor phone, a Machine Room phone and a Lobby phone. An output is also
provided for driving up to three Viking LM-24D displays to show status of all ports.
Per ASME A17.1 requirements, the LC-6 can verify the operability of the telephone line on a daily basis
and with the optional Viking model LV-1K line verification alarm panel, can display an “Elevator
Communications Failure”. Note: Per ASME A17.1 requirements, the LC-6 must be used with a battery
backup (UPS) capable of keeping the LC-6 running for up to 4 hours.
Concentrate up to Six Emergency Phones and
Comply with ASME A17.1 Elevator Code

Viking Electronics, Inc., 1531 Industrial Street, Hudson, WI 54016 (715) 386-8666
If the equipment is causing harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may request that you disconnect the
equipment until the problem is resolved.
Connection to Party Line Service is subject to State Tariffs. Contact the state public utility commission, public service commission or corporation commission for information.
WHEN PROGRAMMING EMERGENCY NUMBERS AND (OR) MAKING TEST CALLS TO EMERGENCY NUMBERS:
Remain on the line and briefly explain to the dispatcher the reason for the call. Perform such activities in the off-peak
hours, such as early morning or late evenings.
It is recommended that the customer install an AC surge arrester in the AC outlet to which this device is connected. This
is to avoid damaging the equipment caused by local lightning strikes and other electrical surges.
PART 15 LIMITATIONS
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part
15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference
when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause
harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
FCC REQUIREMENTS
This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules and the requirements adopted by the ACTA. On the side of this
equipment is a label that contains, among other information, a product identifier in the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. If
requested, this number must be provided to the telephone company.
The REN is used to determine the number of devices that may be connected to a telephone line. Excessive REN's on a
telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most but not all areas, the sum of
the REN's should not exceed five (5.0) To be certain of the number of devices that may be connected to a line, as determined by the total REN's, contact the local telephone company. For products approved after July 23, 2001, the REN for
this product is part of the product identifier that has the format US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits represented by ## are the
REN without a decimal point (e.g., 03 is a REN of 0.3). For earlier products, the REN is separately shown on the label.
The plug used to connect this equipment to the premises wiring and telephone network must comply with the applicable
FCC Part 68 rules and requirements adopted by the ACTA. If your home has specially wired alarm equipment connected
to the telephone line, ensure the installation of this LC-6 does not disable your alarm equipment. If you have questions
about what will disable alarm equipment, consult your telephone company or a qualified installer.
If the LC-6 causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company will notify you in advance that temporary discontinuance of service may be required. But if advance notice isn't practical, the telephone company will notify the customer as soon as possible. Also, you will be advised of your right to file a complaint with the FCC if you believe it is necessary.
The telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations, or procedures that could affect the
operation of the equipment. If this happens, the telephone company will provide advance notice in order for you to make
IMPORTANT: Electronic
devices are susceptible to
lightning and power station
electrical surges from both the AC outlet
and the telephone line. It is recommended that a surge protector be
installed to protect against such surges.

Up to six 1600A Series emergency phones can be installed to internally communicate with a Fire Floor phone, a Machine
Room phone and a Lobby phone through the LC-6. The Lobby phone connection is not a separate port, but is simply internally tied to the Machine Room port. A telephone line can also be added so that any of the above listed phones can place
an outbound call. Power the LC-6 from a battery back-up Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) to provide 4 hours of power
failure operation. Add an optional Viking model LV-1K line verification alarm panel to comply with the latest ASME A17.1
requirements to provide an audible and illuminated visual signal when an “ELEVATOR COMMUNICATIONS FAILURE” has
occurred. Add one or two optional Viking model LM-24D displays to show authorized personnel status of each phone, the
telephone line, and modes.
* TRIPP-LITE model INTERNET550U
This specific battery backup is chosen because it runs at a rated 99% efficiency. Battery backups that are not as efficient will waste battery power and not run as long. This TRIPP-LITE model INTERNET550U has been bench tested
to run the LC-6 for more than 4 hours under the worst case condition (all 9 phones, the telephone line and display continuously in use). Other high efficiency battery backups with equal or longer runtime ratings are TRIPP-LITE models:
INTERNET550SCR, INTERNET750U, ECO550UPS, ECO650UPS, ECO750UPS, ECO850UPS and AVR750U.
