£431.25 (inc VAT: £517.50)
Summary
The Lexicomm ViLX-IPA2-GS is a weatherproof internal telephone specifically designed for use in sports grounds as defined in the Guide to Safety at Sports Grounds (Green Guide) 2018. This robust communication solution allows for clear and reliable communication between the control room and stewards positioned around the sports ground, ensuring effective coordination during events and emergency situations.
The top of the outstation housing incorporates a high-intensity green visual indication device (VID) which provides visual notification when the phone is ringing, in addition to the high volume audible ringer. This dual notification system is particularly useful in situations where significant background noise from crowds and events may make the audible ringer difficult to hear, ensuring stewards never miss important communications from the control room.
Constructed with an IP66 rated robust housing, the ViLX-IPA2-GS provides comprehensive protection from weather conditions including rain, dust, and environmental factors commonly encountered in outdoor sports venues. All Lexicomm Emergency Voice Communications Systems (EVCS) are designed to comply fully with the requirements of BS 5839-9:2021, and the system requires only a single 2 core fire cable connection to a Lexicomm system. The VID is fully line powered, eliminating the need for additional cabling or external power supplies, simplifying installation and reducing system complexity.

FAQs
What is the ViLX-IPA2-GS designed for?
The ViLX-IPA2-GS is a weatherproof internal telephone specifically designed for use in sports grounds as defined in the Guide to Safety at Sports Grounds (Green Guide) 2018. It enables communication between the control room and stewards positioned around the sports ground during events and emergencies.
What is the IP66 rating and why is it important?
IP66 is a high level of ingress protection that provides complete protection against dust (solid particles) and protection against powerful water jets from any direction. This rating is essential for sports ground applications where the telephone may be exposed to rain, dust, and harsh outdoor conditions while maintaining reliable operation.
What is the visual indication device (VID)?
The VID is a high-intensity green visual indicator located at the top of the outstation housing. It provides visual notification when the phone is ringing, complementing the high volume audible ringer. This is particularly useful in sports grounds where crowd noise and other background sounds might make the audible ringer difficult to hear.
Does the VID require separate power?
No, the VID is fully line powered through the same 2 core fire cable that connects the telephone to the Lexicomm system. No additional cabling or external power supply is required, which simplifies installation and reduces system complexity.
Can the ViLX-IPA2-GS be flush mounted?
No, due to the location of the visual indication device (VID) on top of the unit, the ViLX-IPA2-GS can only be surface mounted. Flush mounting is not an option for this model.
What height should the telephone be mounted at?
The ViLX-IPA2-GS should be mounted at a height of 1300 to 1400mm from the floor to the centre line of the outstation to comply with BS 5839-9:2021 requirements, ensuring accessible operation for users.
What cabling is required?
The system requires only a single 2 core enhanced fire resistant cable (1mm or 1.5mm) connected to a Lexicomm system. The cable can run up to 500m from the compatible panel, and multiple units can be wired in a ring network configuration.
What fault monitoring is provided?
The entire telephone, including the VID, is fully monitored for open circuit and short circuit faults. These faults are displayed on the master panel, making installation easier and providing confidence that the telephone is wired correctly both during and after installation.
Which Lexicomm panels are compatible?
The ViLX-IPA2-GS is compatible with LexiCommPro, Lexicomm TMS, and Lexicomm EX8 panels. Each panel can accommodate up to 8 lines, allowing multiple steward’s phones to be connected throughout the sports ground.
What standards does the ViLX-IPA2-GS comply with?
The ViLX-IPA2-GS complies with BS 5839-9:2021 (emergency voice communication systems), BS 9999:2017 (fire safety code of practice), EN 60118-4:2015+A1:2018 (hearing aid compatibility), EMC standards EN 55035:2017+A11:2020 and EN 55032:2015+A1:2020, plus LVD standard EN IEC62368-1:2020+A11:2020. It also meets the requirements of the Guide to Safety at Sports Grounds (Green Guide) 2018.
