Elevator Telephone 

Every elevator must have a reliable emergency elevator telephone to ensure passenger safety and compliance with regulations. Our elevator telephones provide clear, instant communication with emergency services, maintenance teams, or building security.

These enclosures are strong and resist vandalism. They provide clear audio and are reliable. Their mean time between failures (MTBF) is 50,000 to 65,000 hours.

 

Why an Elevator Emergency Telephone is Essential

• Mandatory by Law – ASME A17.1 and ADA regulations require functional emergency communication systems in elevators.

• Instant Emergency Response – Enables passengers to call for help in case of entrapment or malfunction.

• Clear Audio in Noisy Environments – High-quality noise-canceling microphones ensure clear communication.

 

Where should we install elevator telephones?

​1. Inside Elevator Cabins

• Located at an accessible height per ADA requirements.

• Must include hands-free operation or a handset that connects automatically to emergency contacts.

• Often integrated into the elevator control panel.

​

2. Elevator Machine Rooms & Hoist ways (Required in high-rise buildings)

• Machine Room Phones: These are important in buildings taller than 4-5 stories. They help maintenance staff talk to building security or emergency responders.

• Hostway Phones: Installed inside elevator shafts for worker safety.

• Disaster Preparedness: Provides emergency communication in case of a power failure or maintenance accident.

 

How to Choose the Right Elevator Phone?

​

1. Connection Type

We offer four communication options to fit any building’s infrastructure:

• Analog (POTS) – Connects to a traditional telephone line and receives power from the same line.

• VoIP (SIP) – Uses Ethernet to connect to a SIP server, powered via PoE or a local adapter.

• GSM/4G – Works with a SIM card from a cellular provider, ideal when no wired infrastructure is available.

• Wireless Solutions – Reduce cabling costs and provide flexibility in older or remote buildings.

 

2. Phone Design & Durability

• Vandal-Resistant: IK10-rated enclosures withstand high-impact damage.

• Corrosion-Proof Materials: Stainless steel front panels resist rust and deterioration.

• Custom Branding Available: Add company logos, labels, and custom button inscriptions.

​

3. One-Touch Emergency Calling

• Single-Button Call System: Immediate connection to emergency responders with one press.

• Handset Models: Automatically dial a pre-programmed number when picked up.

• Programmable Speed Dial: Ensures calls go directly to security or maintenance.

 

Additional Safety Features & Accessories

• Loudspeakers – For public announcements in elevator areas.

• Flashing Beacons – Alerts hearing-impaired passengers to an active emergency call.

• Solar-Powered Options – Suitable for GSM/4G models in areas without direct power access.

• Noise-Canceling Microphones – Maintain clarity in machine rooms and busy lobbies.
