Lexicomm Remote Visual Indicator
£83.12 (inc VAT: £99.74)
Summary
The Lexicomm ViLX-VID is a remote visual indicator device designed to work in conjunction with Lexicomm Type A outstations, providing a high-intensity flashing green LED indicator that activates when the associated telephone rings. This device is specifically designed for areas of high ambient noise where audible ringers may be difficult to hear, ensuring that incoming emergency calls are not missed in challenging acoustic environments.
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 when both fire telephones and disabled refuge call points are required. The ViLX-VID enhances these systems by providing visual notification in environments where sound-based alerts may be inadequate.
The device is particularly well-suited for stadium applications where Type A outstations are used as stewards’ phones. In these scenarios, the ViLX-VID can be wall or ceiling mounted to alert staff of phone activation across large, noisy venues. The system is fully line powered, requiring no additional cabling or external power supplies, and is wired before the Type A outstation to ensure complete circuit monitoring. LexicommPro systems incorporating ViLX-VID devices have already been successfully installed in several football stadiums, demonstrating their effectiveness in demanding sports ground environments.

FAQs
What is the ViLX-VID used for?
The ViLX-VID is a remote visual indicator device that provides a high-intensity flashing green LED indicator when a Lexicomm Type A outstation telephone rings. It is specifically designed for areas of high ambient noise where audible ringers may be difficult to hear, ensuring emergency calls are visually indicated.
Where is the ViLX-VID typically installed?
The ViLX-VID is commonly installed in noisy environments such as sports stadiums, industrial facilities, or other high ambient noise areas. In stadium applications, it can be wall or ceiling mounted to alert stewards of phone activation. It has been successfully installed in several football stadiums as part of LexicommPro systems.
Does the ViLX-VID require separate power?
No, the ViLX-VID is fully line powered through the same enhanced fire resistant cable used for the outstation connection. No additional cabling or external power supplies are required, simplifying installation and reducing system complexity.
Which outstations is the ViLX-VID compatible with?
The ViLX-VID is compatible with Lexicomm Type A outstations that do not have their own integral VIDs. It cannot be used with outstations that already have built-in visual indication devices.
How is the ViLX-VID wired into the system?
The ViLX-VID must be wired before the Type A outstation on the circuit so that both the VID and the outstation are fully monitored for open and short circuit faults. This wiring sequence ensures complete system monitoring and fault detection.
What type of back box is required?
The ViLX-VID is not supplied with a back box and can be used with any MK style double back-box over 25mm deep. To accept cable glands, the back box needs to be 35mm deep, including metal clad surface types and plastic plasterboard dry liner boxes.
How far can the ViLX-VID be installed from the panel?
Using enhanced fire resistant 1x 2 core radial 1mm or 1.5mm cable, the ViLX-VID can be installed up to 500m from a compatible panel. However, the VID must be wired before the outstation on the circuit.
Is the ViLX-VID monitored for faults?
Yes, the ViLX-VID and the outstation connected on the same line are fully monitored for open and short circuit faults. This provides confidence in system integrity both during installation and throughout the operational life of the system.
What are the dimensions of the ViLX-VID?
The ViLX-VID measures 86mm x 86mm x 22mm and weighs 270g. It is designed to fit on a single gang box, making it compact and easy to install in various locations.
Can multiple ViLX-VID units be used on the same line?
Yes, the system supports ring network wiring configuration with 2 x 2 core 1.5mm CSA enhanced fire cable. LexiCommPro panels can accommodate up to 8 lines, allowing multiple VIDs and outstations to be connected across different zones.
What standards does the ViLX-VID comply with?
The ViLX-VID complies with BS 5839-9:2021 and BS 9999:2017 product family standards, plus EMC standards EN 55035:2017+A11:2020 and EN 55032:2015+A1:2020. Refer to BS 5839-9:2021 for exceptions.
