The ViLX-ACA provides a straightforward solution for integrating emergency assist alarm systems within an EVCS (Emergency Voice Communications System), offering a single display point for all disabled calls across a building. It can operate on a dedicated line or share a line with the ViLX-OSB disabled refuge outstation, provided fire-rated cabling is used. In such setups, operation of the refuge point overrides the assist call—ideal when a disabled toilet is located next to a refuge lobby.
When a call is made, the over-door and cancel units emit a two-tone siren with the blue “Halo” flashing. Once acknowledged from the EVCS controller, the Halo changes to a steady light, and the tone switches to double beeps every 15 seconds to reassure the caller that help is on the way.
As the ViLX-ACA connects to a Lexicomm master station, the plates and cabling are fully end-of-line monitored and battery-backed as standard. All plates feature a brushed stainless steel finish and a blue Halo for easy identification.
