What is a
tunnel SOS telephone?

After an accident, a vehicle breakdown or a fire, this is where a driver can speak with the control center. Lifting the handset or pressing a single button is enough; the call is sent to the PBX over the IP (SIP) line.

01 · Protection

Against dust and moisture

A tunnel is dusty and humid. D and DS Series telephones have an IP66 rating once installation is complete; the LMD-12 enclosure is also IP66 and TSE certified.

02 · Durability

Metal enclosure, armored cord

The D Series has an aluminum alloy enclosure, is vandal-resistant and comes with a steel-armored cord. The DS Series is made from a single aluminum casting with electrostatic powder coating.

03 · Line

IP (SIP) and a single PBX

The telephones run on an IP (SIP) line. All Limpid products work on the same PBX and cabling, so the system can be extended along the whole tunnel.

FAQTunnel emergency telephone

Common
questions

What is a tunnel emergency telephone?

It is a fixed telephone inside and at the entrances of a tunnel that lets a driver or pedestrian speak with the control center during an incident. Lifting the handset or pressing a single button is enough; the call is sent to the PBX over the IP (SIP) line.

Which IP rating is suitable for a tunnel?

A tunnel is dusty and humid. Limpid D and DS Series telephones have an IP66 rating once installation is complete; the LMD-12 enclosure is also IP66 and TSE certified. The required IP rating is set by the project specification.

How far apart are telephones placed inside a tunnel?

The spacing is set by the project specification. In road tunnels, it is common practice to place a telephone every 100 meters inside the tunnel.

Which color is used in tunnels?

The most popular color is orange, which stands out in tunnels (RAL 2004, traffic orange). Yellow (RAL 1023, traffic yellow) and red (RAL 3020, traffic red) can also be chosen.

Can the telephone be used outdoors at a tunnel entrance?

Shelters are available for tunnel entrances: the ground-mounted and wall-mounted LMD-01, the LMD-03 with a base, and the LMD-02 acoustic shelter with 20 dB sound reduction for noisy locations. The telephone is installed inside, together with an enclosure if desired.
