INTRODUCTION

VIDEO INTERCOM MODULE VDV-B90
AUDIO INTERCOM MODULE ADV-B40

Thank you for purchasing an m-e product. This add-on module allows
you to equip existing intercoms, which are fitted inside e.g. letter box
systems or pillars, with the VISTADOOR system or convert them to this.
Internal units of the VISTADOOR and VISTUS systems can be connected.
It is suitable for connecting up to six parties.

CONTENTS

Tech box

Microphone module c/w 50 cm long connector cable
Camera module c/w 50 cm long connector cable (only VDV B90)
Adhesive pads for securing in position
Light sensor c/w 50 cm long connector cable

Available as optional accessories

External camera mod. VDV 500 Xcam, Xcam Pro1, Xcam Pro2, Xcam Pro3
Cap rail power supply unit mod. DT 2000
Mains adapter mod. ST 1000

Requirements

A simple make contact for each apartment is all that is needed in terms
of bell push. If a loudspeaker and microphone are present, these must
meet the following specifications if they are to work properly with the
add-on module:

Loudspeaker

Impedance: 8 ohms
Power: minimum of 0.5 watts

Microphone

Electret microphone
Phantom power: 5 volts (ensure correct polarity)

If the technical data are not known, to prevent any problems with
voice transmission, you should replace the existing loudspeaker and
microphone with the loudspeaker and microphone supplied.

CONNECTION OPTIONS FOR THE TECH BOX

Top connection terminal (26-pole)
LED+ and LED-: This is for connecting an LED which lights up when

the door opener is operated to indicate to the visitor that the door is
being opened. Output: 5 V DC max. 50 mA

MIC+ and MIC-: This is for connecting the microphone, the white
cable to + and the black cable to -.

KEY1 to KEY6 (2 screw terminals each): This is for connecting the
relevant bell push. KEY1 activates the internal unit, which is connected
to VIDEO1 and AUDIO1, etc.

9_12Vcc, GND, VIDEO and IR: This is for connecting the camera
module. Red cable to 9_12Vcc, black cable to GND and yellow cable to
VIDEO. The fourth cable of the camera module is connected to IR.

1010

SPK- and SPK+: This is for connecting the loudspeaker, the red cable

to + and the black cable to -.

CDS_L- and CDS_L+: This is for connecting the brightness sensor,
the red cable to + and the black cable to -.

ENGLISH | ADV-B40

BL- and BL+: This is for connecting the name tag lighting. Only LEDs
can be connected; make sure that the polarity is correct.

For the connected LEDs to light up, the brightness sensor must be
connected and shaded over.
Output: 12 V DC max. 60 mA

Bottom connection terminal (24-pole)

This terminal is for connecting the individual apartments. Up to four
internal units can be connected in parallel for each apartment. VIDEO1,
GND, +15V and AUDIO1 for apartment 1, etc.

Left connection terminal (4-pole)

LOCK- and LOCK+: This is for connecting the door opener. Some door
openers have a flyback diode fitted. If this is the case, make sure that
the polarity is correct. If the door opener only responds for a short
time (less than one second), its current consumption is too high. The
door opener should then be replaced with a model which uses less
current (maximum of 0.9 A). Alternatively a relay can be connected up
between the door opener and the terminal.

+15V and GND: This is for connecting the operating voltage.
You do not need to do this if you are using the recommended
star wiring.

Right connection terminal (4-pole)

This is for connecting an additional camera. Do not use the X module
with the VDV-500 Xcam, if the latter is used. The best thing is to cut the
cable to the camera just behind the X module. Then strip the insulation
from the cable. The three wires thus exposed are hooked up to the
connection: red to VCC, black to GND and yellow to Video. If you want
to use a camera from a different manufacturer, this must comply with
the following technical data:

FITTING RECOMMENDATIONS

During fitting, the power supply should be switched off
to avoid short circuits.

The tech box must be attached in such a manner that rain water cannot
penetrate it.
The connection cables of the camera, loudspeaker and microphone
modules, as well as the brightness sensor, should not be extended. They
may however be shortened.

A 3 mm diameter hole is needed for the brightness sensor. The sensor
should be able to be retained in the hole of its own accord; if necessary
you can use hot glue or with an adhesive pad to fix it in position.

Adhesive pads designed especially for the camera, loudspeaker and
microphone modules, respectively, are included. You can use these to
secure those items at their desired locations. If you want to attach the
modules with screws, you should use the relevant module as template.

The loudspeaker and microphone modules should not be fitted directly
next to one another. This is to prevent feedback.

A hole with a diameter of 52 mm is needed for the camera module.
The camera has special markings to help ensure it is fitted correctly.
Given that the height at which the camera module is fitted depends
on local factors, we cannot recommend an optimum mounting height.
A mounting height of 1.5 m to 1.6 m has been a good rule of thumb
in the past.

For the automatic system to work properly, the light sensor should be
fitted at a location where daylight can reach it. If you want to fit the
light sensor to your existing front plate, a 3 mm hole will be needed.

12 V operating voltage, max. 500 mA current consumption, FBAS video
signal (1 Vpp, 75 ohm)

VCC is connected to the positive pole of the camera’s power connection.
GND is connected to the negative pole of the camera’s power
connection.

VIDEO is connected to the video output of the camera. On most
cameras, the negative pole is connected directly to the video ground. In
a few rare cases, the video ground also has to be connected to GND.

Please note that the camera is only supplied with power at this connec­tion when the external camera is activated at the internal unit.

See the drawings for the exact dimensions of the individual modules.

POSSIBLE SETTINGS

The outdoor station offers the following possibilities to set the system
to your personal circumstances:

Volume of the outdoor station

The potentiometer (9) is used to set the volume on the outdoor station.
To set the highest volume, turn the potentiometer carefully clockwise
as far as possible. Reduce the volume by turning in an anti-clockwise
direction.

ID code

If several outdoor stations are switched in parallel (e.g. at the gate ent­rance and the house) then the ID code is set via the dip switch (6). This
makes it possible to activate the individual outdoor units in sequence,
e.g. in order to monitor the coverage of the relevant outdoor unit. The
switch is carried out on the indoor station with the ‘monitor’ switch.

ID1 = Switch 1 ‘on’ Switch 2 ‘on’
ID2 = Switch 1 ‘off’ Switch 2 ‘on’
ID3 = Switch 1 ‘on’ Switch 2 ‘off’

Opening time of the door opener

The dip switches (7) are used to set how long the door opener should
be activated. The possible settings are either 1 second or 5 seconds.
5 seconds are set at the factory and function for most standard door
openers.

Switch 1 ‘off’, Switch 2 ‘on’ is equivalent to an
opening time of 1 second.
Switch 1 ‘on’, Switch 2 ‘off’ is equivalent to an
opening time of 5 seconds.

OPERATION

1. Press the bell push-button.

2. The preset ring tone sounds on its inside station/s and the screen
displays the outside station view (VDV-B90 only).

3. Accept the dialogue on the inside unit by briefly pressing the press­to-talk button (MOUTH).

4. If an additional camera is present at the outside station, you may
switch over to this camera by pressing the “MONITOR” button.
Pressing the „Monitor“ button again switches you back to the
internal camera.

5. If a door opener is connected then you can activate the door opener
by pressing briefly on the door opener button (KEY).

6. Switch the system back to standby operation by briefly pressing the
speak button (MOUTH).
