Arkel ArLine User Manual V1.24
• Communication time is 3 minutes. This time will be set back to 3 minutes each time you press the intercom button
during the call. If the button is pressed twice within 1 second, communication is terminated.
18. Automatic Communication Test (3 Days Test)
According to the EN 81-28 standard, alarm system should be checked using the same communication tools used for the alarm,
for testing purposes at the least every 3 days. Failure of the automatic test should be indicated in the cabin and the lift owner(s)
must be informed to take appropriate action.
• Warning: In case of failure of the alarm system, the owner of the lift will contact the rescue service/personnel or the
maintenance company immediately to report the malfunction and take the lift out of service (See EN 13015).
The frequency of the automatic communication test is set in the ARKEL Cloud menu (Up to 3 days).
The automatic communication test is performed via the ARKEL service provider. When the test fails, the automatic test alarm
is activated and the following operations are performed:
• The yellow/green pictogram LEDs of the Arkel ArLine-S-COP unit in the car will show an automatic test failure to the
owner(s)/user(s) of the lift by flashing contrary (One second off, one second on).
• The ERR LED on the Arkel ArLine-M is switched on.
• ‘Automatic test alarm TESTF’ of the Arkel ArLine-M programmable relay function is activated.
After a successful automatic communication test, the automatic communication test alarm resets and the above-mentioned fault
conditions return to normal.
Rescue service/personnel is automatically notified about the automatic test alarm termination (ARKEL Cloud shows that the
automatic test failure ended, an SMS indicating that the automatic test failure is terminated sent to the telephone number for the
technical alarm).As long as the automatic test alarm is not reset, the test will be repeated at the intervals of 1 hour.
19. Firefighter Mode
The firefighter mode is used to provide intercom communication between the machinery room, firefighter, and cabin interior
communication units. With this mode, the cabin unit can both listen and talk simultaneously, while the machinery room and
firefighter units participate in a push-to-talk manner. The activation of the firefighter mode requires information from a
programmable input or an ARKEL elevator controller.
• To activate the firefighter mode with a programmable input, the inputs must be selected as "FIRE". The firefighter mode
will be active as long as there is power on the input. If the power on the input is cut off, the firefighter mode will
automatically end.
• To activate the firefighter mode on the CanBUS, information from an ARKEL elevator controller is required. The
information from the controller is also used to end the mode on the CanBUS. If the CanBUS connection is lost, the
firefighter mode will end.
Note: If the connection of one of the three units is lost, it will automatically rejoin the system.
Note: Communication cannot be established if the firefighter and cabin interior units are not present.
20. Battery
20.1. Battery Requirement
According to the EN 81-28 standard, the remote alarm system operated by GSM mobile communication should continue to
operate at least 60 minutes (Including 15 minutes of talk) from the emergency electrical power supply in case of power failure.
The status of this emergency electrical power supply and the correct charging of the batteries must be monitored continuously.
The fault status should be reported to the rescue service/personnel automatically and indicated by appropriate means in the lift
installation.
20.2. Battery Test
The Arkel ArLine-M includes one 12V / 1.2Ah maintenance-free dry battery. The charging and automatic testing of the batteries
are performed by the Arkel ArLine-M.
In the Arkel ArLine system, the battery's capacity is tested at regular intervals (1 week). The test can take up to 30 minutes.
During the test, the battery alarm is activated when it is determined that the battery capacity, including 15 minutes of talk, is not
sufficient to allow the alarm system to run for 60 minutes.
It may take up to 12 hours to fully charge an empty battery. The first battery test is performed after 24 hours of operation. The
battery test is not performed during power failure. If a power failure occurs during the battery test, the test is terminated
immediately. The battery alarm is activated without delay if the battery is not plugged in, is connected incorrectly or has a short
circuit.
The following operations are performed during the battery alarm:
