Description
Need a code-compliant way to connect multiple emergency phones without the cost and hassle of running extra phone lines? The Viking LC-3 Line Concentrator lets up to three emergency phones share a single analog line with automatic call handling built right in.
When someone picks up an emergency phone, it seizes the line immediately. If the line is already in use, additional callers hear a busy signal and can redial — a perfect pairing with Viking emergency phones programmed for automatic redial. Inbound calls are answered automatically, and emergency responders can use simple touch-tone commands to connect directly to any of the three phones. A dedicated Fire Floor Phone port gives local first responders immediate hands-on access, meeting most elevator code requirements without extra hardware.
When the power goes out, the LC-3 keeps all connected emergency phones live on the phone line — exactly the kind of failsafe reliability that building managers and code inspectors expect. Five RJ-11 modular jacks make installation fast and straightforward, and the compact 5" x 5" footprint fits almost anywhere in an elevator machine room, utility closet, or telecom cabinet. It works equally well in parking garages, campuses, and multi-floor buildings where budget-conscious emergency communication is a priority.
Our Expert Take: The LC-3 is one of the most practical cost-savers available for buildings that need ADA and elevator-code-compliant emergency phones on multiple floors but only have a single analog line to work with. The built-in Fire Floor Phone port is the feature that often closes the deal — most elevator codes specifically require that capability, and having it integrated here eliminates the need for a separate patch solution. If you're pairing this with Viking emergency phones, make sure your models are configured for automatic busy redial to get the smoothest experience when the line is occupied.
