£246.25 (inc VAT: £295.50)
Summary
The Lexicomm ViLX-OSA-GS is an internal telephone specifically designed for use in sports grounds as defined in the Guide to Safety at Sports Grounds (Green Guide) 2018. This specialized communication solution enables 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 sporting events may make the audible ringer difficult to hear, ensuring stewards can always identify when they are being contacted by the control room.
All Lexicomm Emergency Voice Communications Systems (EVCS) are designed to comply fully with the requirements of BS 5839-9:2021 for use as a fire telephone system, disabled refuge system, or as a combined system. The ViLX-OSA-GS features a stainless steel construction with a distinctive RAL6001 green painted finish, providing both durability and clear visual identification. The system requires only a single 2 core fire cable connection to a Lexicomm system, with the VID being fully line powered, eliminating the need for additional cabling or external power supplies and simplifying installation.

FAQs
What is the ViLX-OSA-GS designed for?
The ViLX-OSA-GS is an 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 difference between ViLX-OSA-GS and ViLX-IPA2-GS?
The ViLX-OSA-GS features stainless steel construction with RAL6001 green finish, is lighter (2.2kg), more compact (95mm depth), and includes a magnetic push catch. The ViLX-IPA2-GS has an IP66 weatherproof rating with texture painted steel construction in RAL7035 grey finish, is heavier (2.8kg), larger (130mm depth), and provides superior weather protection for more exposed outdoor locations. Both include the high-intensity green VID and line-powered 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-OSA-GS be flush mounted?
No, due to the location of the visual indication device (VID) on top of the unit, the ViLX-OSA-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-OSA-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 1.5mm screened cable 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-OSA-GS is compatible with LexiCommPro panels. Each panel can accommodate up to 8 lines, allowing multiple steward’s phones to be connected throughout the sports ground.
What is the magnetic push catch?
The magnetic push catch is a door mechanism that securely holds the handset compartment closed using magnetic force. It can be easily opened by pushing, providing convenient access to the handset while maintaining a secure closure when not in use.
What standards does the ViLX-OSA-GS comply with?
The ViLX-OSA-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. Refer to BS 5839-9:2021 for exceptions.
