Summary
The Lexicomm ViLX-OSR is a flexible roaming fire telephone handset designed primarily for use by the fire service in high-rise buildings to provide clear communications between the control point and firefighters in situations where radio systems may not work effectively. The handset operates in conjunction with jack points (ViLX-OSJ or ViLX-OSJ-S) installed throughout the building, allowing firefighters to plug in at any location to establish immediate communication with the master station.

FAQs
What is the ViLX-OSR roaming handset used for?
The ViLX-OSR is a roaming fire telephone handset designed primarily for use by the fire service in high-rise buildings. It provides clear communications between the control point and firefighters during emergency situations where radio systems may not work effectively due to building construction or fire conditions.
How does the roaming handset work?
The ViLX-OSR operates by plugging into jack points (ViLX-OSJ or ViLX-OSJ-S) installed throughout the building. When the handset is plugged into any jack point, it automatically initiates a call to the master station, establishing immediate full duplex two-way communication without requiring any additional actions.
How many people can communicate simultaneously on the same line?
The Lexicomm EVC and UnicornVoice PAVA systems support party line functionality, allowing up to 5 roaming fire telephones connected to the same line to have a simultaneous conversation with the master station. This enables coordinated emergency response across multiple locations.
Is the ViLX-OSR accessible for hearing impaired users?
Yes, the ViLX-OSR is designed for multi-disability users and includes an induction loop coil (telecoil) in the handset that is compliant with BS EN 60118-4:2015+A1:2018, specifically to support hearing impaired users during emergency communications.
What jack points are compatible with the ViLX-OSR?
The ViLX-OSR is compatible with ViLX-OSJ standard jack points and ViLX-OSJ-S switch jack points. Both types mount in standard MK style 25mm flush or surface back boxes and should be installed at a height of 1300 to 1400mm from the floor.
Can the ViLX-OSR be used in the UK?
Jack point systems are generally used in Far East and Middle East markets. The documentation notes that their use in the UK is not allowed under current regulations, which typically require fixed fire telephone outstations instead.
What is the difference between ViLX-OSJ and ViLX-OSJ-S jack points?
The ViLX-OSJ is a standard jack point that connects the roaming handset to the fire telephone system. The ViLX-OSJ-S is a switch jack point that provides an additional isolated volt-free contact, which can signal to other systems when a roaming fire telephone has been inserted into the jack point.
How far can jack points be installed from the control panel?
Jack points can be installed using Enhanced Fire Resistant 1.5mm CSA cable up to 500m from the panel to the last jack point. Multiple jack points can be wired on a single EVC line throughout this distance.
What type of plug does the ViLX-OSR use?
The ViLX-OSR uses a standard 1/4″ (6.35mm) mono jack plug connector, making it easy to plug into and remove from compatible jack points.
What are the dimensions and weight of the handset?
