Installation Manual for 2000 Series Telephone-Entry Autodialer
Arrangements should be made with the telephone company for the installation of a telephone line
for use by the system. It is recommended that the telephone jack be installed inside the entry
panel enclosure.
One 16 Volt/20 VA CSA approved Class 2 power transformer is required for system operation. A
second transformer is required for door strike activation. This transformer should have the
necessary voltage and current rating for the door strike that is to be used. Do not exceed the
maximum relay rating of 3 amps @ 28VDC.
Transformers and remote devices such as the door strike, emergency and door contacts, must be
wired to the system controller located in the enclosure housing. A wiring channel must be
provided for these devices to the rear of the system enclosure. Follow local building code
requirements for low voltage wiring.
If a Postal Service Lock is to be installed, arrangements must be made with Post-Office to have the
lock supplied.
In Multiple Entrance applications, two additional wires are required from each entry system
to interconnect the system controllers. A telephone line extension jack must also be installed at
each entry location (see system wiring diagram).
2.0 SPECIAL FEATURES
2.1 Postal Service Lock
Provision for the installation of a Postal Service Lock is available on the rear of the control panel of the
system enclosure. The system is pre-wired for this service.
2.2 Door Timer Cut-Off
Using this feature of the entry system will require the installation of a Normally Open switch contact that
closes when the entry door has been opened. A magnetic contact, as used in security systems is
acceptable for this application provided that a Normally Open type is obtained.
When the electric door strike is released, the door will normally remain open for the period of time that
has been programmed (see Door Timer Selection, Sec.4.7). When the door timer cut-off feature is used,
the door strike will de-energize as soon as the system senses that the entry door has been opened. This
will cause the door to lock when it closes regardless of the programmed time. This action will allow the
door strike to be energised only as long as necessary and will prevent unauthorised entry of individuals
who follow behind the visitor (tailgating).

2.0 SPECIAL FEATURES
2.3 Auxiliary Relay Activation
The system includes a Form C auxiliary relay contact that can be momentarily activated from the suite
telephone by dialing the digit 6 when the tenant is in conversation with the visitor at the entry system. This
contact can be used to trigger a parking gate, elevator, secondary door or video camera.
2.4 Emergency Input
Connection of a Normally Open alarm contact will cause the electric door strike to pulse on and off in the
event of an emergency situation. This will effectively leave the entry door unlocked for the duration of the
emergency.
2.5 Multiple Entrances
Accommodation of multiple entry doors is a built-in feature of the AlphaGuard System. Up to 20 entry
systems can be interconnected without the need for additional switching equipment, and all systems can
be connected to one common telephone line. One additional pair of wires, parallel connected, to terminals
ME and G of all entry systems will be required. When one entry panel is in use, the other panels will be
temporarily disabled and display a "System in Use" message. Note that each entry panel must be
independently powered and programmed, and requires a telephone extension jack at that location.
2.6 Night Service
When enabled, the Night Service feature can be used to redirect all entry system calls to a pre-
designated telephone number (Guard Phone). When in use (by entering * 4 5 6), the entry system will
display the "Night Service On" message. To return to normal, re-enter * 4 5 6.

3.0 INSTALLATION
1. Mount the system enclosure to the wall in a location close to the building's controlled entry point.
1. Connect the door strike wires to terminals D1 and D2 for D.C. (silent) operation or to terminals D3 and
D4 for A.C. (buzzing) operation. Do not exceed maximum switched door strike load of 28 volts at 3
Amps.
1. An auxiliary switched device may be controlled through the auxiliary relay contact that is available by
connecting to terminals N.C.(normally closed), C (common) and N.O.(normally open).The maximum
switched auxiliary load is 28 volts at 3 amps. This contact will change state for one second, when
energized by the tenant dialing the digit 6 from their suite telephone. (Tone type phones only).
1. Terminal PL is for the postal service lock. Closing of a normally open switch between terminals PL and
G is required for activation. Remove the panel plug button for the Postman's key and mount the lock
with the supplied hardware. Adjust the switch actuator for proper operation with the lock. Attach wires
from switch to terminals PL & G on controller.
1. Terminal TC is for connection of a door timer cut-off contact. A normally open contact that closes when
the door has been opened will cut-off the door timer and instantly re-lock the door. This is used to
prevent "tail-gating" of unwanted visitors through the entry doors.
Connect between terminals TC and G.
1. Terminal FA is for connection to the building emergency contact. A normally open contact that closes
during an alarm condition can be connected between terminals FA and G to pulse open the entry door
during an emergency situation.
7. Terminal ME is the interconnect point for multiple entrance systems. Terminals ME and G of all entry
systems must be interconnected from each entry system to allow operation with a common telephone
line. Each location must also be wired with its own transformer, door strike, extension telephone jack,
switch contacts, etc. as shown on the wiring diagram. Each location must be separately programmed.
8. Connect door strike transformer to terminals T3 and T4. Note that the maximum door strike load that
may switched through the controller is 28 volts at 3 amps.
8. At this time all wiring should be checked for shorts and opens. Connect 16 VAC from system
transformer to terminals T1 and T2 on system controller terminal block. This transformer must not be
used to power any other devices such as the door strike. The display should now be illuminated and
the message " Welcome, Dial Code Number " will appear. Telephone Line may now be connected.

5.0 ADJUSTMENTS
5.1 Volume Control
The communication volume levels come factory preset for normal operation. The levels can be increased
or decreased by adjusting the potentiometers located along the bottom of the system controller located
behind the front display plate. Audio level from the entry system to the suite is controlled by the MIC.
VOLUME control and the level from the suite to the entry system by the SPEAKER VOLUME control.
5.2 Rotary Phone Pulse Sensitivity
The telephone companies do not specify or guarantee the waveshape of the signal transmitted when the
tenant dials the digit 9 from a rotary (pulse) telephone. In order to achieve best results, the
System is furnished with a sensitivity adjustment potentiometer as well as an indicator lamp to view the
incoming rotary signal (pulses).
This potentiometer is labelled "PULSE SENSITIVITY" on the system controller. The system sensitivity is
factory preset to allow a wide range of incoming rotary signals to properly trigger the door circuit and
usually will not require any adjustment. If Pulse telephones are not being used, set the sensitivity
adjustment to minimum. If adjustment is necessary because the door strike cannot be properly triggered,
use the following procedure.
1. Set the "PULSE SENSITIVITY" control to mid position.
1. Call the suite telephone that does not properly trigger the door circuit from the entry system.
1. Observe the "PULSE INDICATOR" while the digit 9 is being dialled from the suite telephone. The
indicator should flash distinctly every time a pulse is heard.
1. If the indicator barely comes on, the sensitivity is set too low. Increase the sensitivity by turning the
shaft of the potentiometer clockwise 1/8th of a turn at a time until the indicator shows distinct flashing
and best results are obtained.
1. If the indicator is on steadily, the sensitivity is set too high and the door circuit may false trigger. Turn
the shaft of the potentiometer counter-clockwise to decrease the sensitivity. The sensitivity may also
require reduction if the phone line is particularly loud or noisy.
6. NOTE: Sensitivity adjustments are not required when using tone (DTMF) type suite telephones.
