Product Description
The Arkel ARLINE-S-TP is a critical safety component within the Arkel ARLINE ecosystem. Designed specifically for the “dark zones” of an elevator—the pit (kuyu dibi) and the car top (kabin üstü)—this unit ensures that maintenance personnel are never out of reach.
Ergonomic and Safe Design: Visual identification is vital in emergency situations. The ARLINE-S-TP features a bright yellow enclosure, adhering to visual ergonomics principles for immediate detection in low-light environments. Its large speaker grille ensures crystal-clear audio quality, enabling effective hands-free communication even in noisy shafts.
Integrated Intelligence: Unlike standalone analog phones, the S-TP is an intelligent digital unit. It connects directly to the ARLINE-M (Master Unit) via CANbus. It supports remote monitoring and management via Arkel Cloud, allowing facility managers to check the status of the intercom system without physical inspection.
Critical Safety Features:
- Power Backup: The unit is designed to operate on battery power during mains failure, ensuring the alarm and intercom functions remain active when they are needed most.
- Easy Configuration: Features accessible DIP switches for quick address configuration (e.g., setting the unit as “Pit” or “Car Top”), preventing communication conflicts on the CANbus line.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q1: Can the ARLINE-S-TP (S-TBI) work as a standalone intercom?
No. The ARLINE-S-TP is a peripheral unit (slave). It must be connected to the ARLINE-M (Main Unit) to function. It cannot make external calls on its own without the main GSM/PSTN gateway,.
Q2: When is this specific unit required in an elevator installation?
According to EN 81-20 safety standards, an intercom system is mandatory for any elevator where the travel distance exceeds 30 meters, or where direct voice communication between the car and the rescue team is not possible without assistance.
Q3: Where should this unit be installed?
It is designed for multiple locations within the shaft. Common installation points include the inspection box on top of the car and the emergency panel in the elevator pit. Its IP54 rating makes it suitable for these potentially damp and dusty environments,.
Q4: How do I prevent “Address Conflict” errors during installation?
The S-TP unit has DIP switches that must be set to assign a unique address on the CANbus network. For example, if you install one in the pit and one on the car top, they must have different address settings to function correctly without interference.
