Proper Usage Methods of Otis Elevator Duty Room Intercom Host XAA25302M17

1. Pre-Installation Preparation

2. Installation & Operation Steps

• Mounting the Intercom Host:
  • Locate the designated installation position in the building’s duty room—typically on a stable wall near the elevator control console, at a height of 1.5–1.7 meters for easy access. Ensure the mounting surface is dry, flat, and free from electromagnetic interference (e.g., away from large electrical equipment).
  • Secure the XAA25302M17 to the wall using the provided corrosion-resistant bolts (torque to 1.0–1.5 Nm) to prevent vibration-induced loosening. Leave at least 10cm of clearance around the host for ventilation and wiring access.
• Wiring Connection:
  • Follow the wiring diagram provided by Otis or Nanjing Zhuye to connect the intercom host to elevator car intercoms, pit stations, car top stations, and the power supply:
    • Connect the power wires (positive/negative) to the designated terminals, ensuring correct polarity to avoid component burnout.
    • Attach the communication bus wires to the corresponding terminals, routing them through the building’s conduit to elevator intercom stations. Use shielded cables to minimize noise interference and signal loss.
    • Connect the host to the duty room’s emergency alarm system (if applicable) to trigger visual/audio alerts when an elevator intercom call is initiated.
    • Secure all connections with terminal blocks and label wires clearly to simplify future maintenance or troubleshooting.
• Configuration & Functional Testing:
  • Power on the intercom host and access the configuration menu via the front-panel buttons or connected display (refer to the user manual for steps):
    • Set communication parameters: Station numbering (assign unique IDs to each elevator intercom), volume levels (microphone/speaker), and call priority settings.
    • Calibrate noise cancellation to filter out elevator motor noise, wind, or background sounds—ensuring clear audio transmission.
  • Conduct comprehensive communication tests:
    • Initiate a call from each elevator cab intercom to the duty room host—verify the host receives the call, displays the correct elevator number, and enables two-way audio with no delay or distortion.
    • Test calls from pit and car top stations to confirm full coverage and reliable connectivity.
    • Simulate a power outage by cutting the main power (ensure backup power is connected) to verify the host switches to standby power and maintains communication functionality.

3. Routine Usage Maintenance

• Conduct weekly visual inspections: Check for loose wiring, dust accumulation on the host, or damage to the microphone/speaker grilles. Clean the unit with a dry, lint-free cloth to remove debris.
• Test communication functionality monthly: Initiate test calls from all elevator stations to the duty room, verifying audio clarity and call routing accuracy. Document results in maintenance records.
• Inspect wiring connections quarterly for corrosion, wear, or looseness; tighten terminals or replace damaged cables as needed to maintain reliable signal transmission.
• Test backup power (battery or UPS) semi-annually to ensure the host operates for at least 4 hours during a power outage—replace backup batteries every 2 years or as recommended.

Recommended Replacement Cycle

1. Standard Replacement Cycle

2. Signs That Require Immediate Replacement

• Audio failures: Distorted sound, low volume, or no audio transmission/reception that persists after testing wiring and adjusting settings.
• Communication disruptions: Inability to receive calls from elevator stations, dropped calls, or incorrect call routing that cannot be resolved by troubleshooting.
• Physical damage: Cracked housing, water intrusion, damaged microphone/speaker, or corroded terminals that impair functionality.
• Power issues: Failure to switch to backup power during outages, frequent shutdowns, or no power despite verified connections.
• Firmware incompatibility: Inability to update firmware or integrate with building emergency management systems—older models may lack support for new safety protocols.

3. Maintenance to Extend Service Life

• Maintain the duty room environment at a stable temperature (10–35°C) and low humidity (30–60%) to prevent component corrosion and circuit damage.
• Protect the host from power surges by installing surge protectors in the power supply line.
• Avoid placing the host near loud equipment or sources of electromagnetic interference (e.g., radios, large motors) to maintain audio clarity.
• Use only genuine replacement parts and accessories from Nanjing Zhuye for repairs, as counterfeit intercom hosts may have inferior audio quality, incorrect wiring, or compatibility issues with Otis systems.
