Overview<\/h2>\n \t
\n\t\t\t\t\n
\n

The JANUS\u00ae Call Director System is a centralized communication solution designed to manage and route emergency calls from multiple elevator phones. By consolidating elevator communication onto a single phone line, the system simplifies infrastructure while ensuring reliable, code-compliant communication between passengers and responders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the core of the system is the EMS5 Call Director, which automatically routes calls to designated emergency contacts and announces the caller\u2019s location to improve response accuracy. This centralized approach reduces the need for multiple dedicated phone lines while providing consistent and dependable call handling across the building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The system can be expanded with master stations located in the lobby or machine room, allowing responders to monitor and communicate with elevator passengers from convenient access points. With flexible configuration options, straightforward wiring, and scalable capacity, the Call Director System provides a practical solution for buildings requiring centralized call routing and efficient emergency communication.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t

JANUS\u00ae Master Stations provide centralized communication for monitoring and responding to elevator calls within the Call Director System. Installed in a lobby or machine room, they serve as the primary interface for communicating with elevator phones and coordinating response during service or emergency situations.\n \nAvailable in lobby (SHW) and machine room (SHW-MR) configurations, the Master Station connects directly to the EMS5 system using simple wiring and a shared phone line. With a compact design and straightforward installation, it delivers a reliable solution for buildings requiring centralized communication without complex infrastructure.<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
