Description
Paying for a separate phone line in every elevator cab is an expensive way to meet code requirements. The Viking LC-8 Line Concentrator connects up to eight emergency phones to a single telephone line — cutting your monthly line costs significantly while keeping every phone fully functional and code-compliant.
When a visitor or tenant picks up any connected emergency phone, the LC-8 automatically routes the call over the shared line. If another phone is already in use, it plays a call-waiting tone so the next caller knows the line is busy. A building manager or monitoring station can switch between phones using simple touch-tone commands, making it easy to check in on any of the eight connected units remotely.
Our Expert Take: The LC-8 is the right tool for buildings with multiple elevator cabs, stairwells, or parking levels — anywhere you have eight or fewer emergency phones that currently each require their own line. For smaller installations, the LC-3 handles up to three phones. Pair with Viking E-1600 series emergency phones for a complete, code-compliant system.
