Signal range and repeater installation example

n Using each repeater connected separately

This extends signals away from the main monitor. Because signals are sent through the main monitor, different types of devices can be connected to each repeater. (For example, sub monitors can be connected to one repeater and cameras can be connected to another.) This is useful when you want to connect to different types of devices over shorter distances.

n Using 2 repeaters connected together

This extends the signal away from the main monitor by sending signals directly between repeaters. Because the signals are sent between repeaters, the same type of device must be connected to both repeaters (all sub monitors or all cameras). This is useful when you want to connect to the same type of devices over long distances.

Dziękujemy za zakup produktu firmy Panasonic.

Prosimy przeczytać tę instrukcję przed użyciem produktu i zachować ją do późniejszych konsultacji.

Wprowadzenie

Niniejszy produkt został zaprojektowany jako uzupełnienie systemów wideodomofonowych firmy Panasonic.

– VL-SWD501/VL-SWD501U (Stacja głównego monitora: VL-MWD501)

(Odpowiednie modele mogą być zmieniane bez uprzedzenia).

RMontaż tego produktu umożliwi rozszerzenie zasięgu systemu wideodomofonowego o strefy, w których wcześniej odbiór nie był możliwy.

Produkt zwiększa zasięg we wszystkich kierunkach, umożliwiając pokrycie kilku kondygnacji.

RPrzed użyciem produktu należy go zarejestrować w systemie wideodomofonowym.

RAby maksymalnie zwiększyć zasięg systemu wideodomofonowego, należy zachować odpowiednią odległość od głównego monitora. Można ją określić, obserwując kontrolkę ID po zarejestrowaniu produktu w systemie wideodomofonowym. Jeśli kontrolka ID świeci na czerwono lub pomarańczowo, należy przestawić produkt w miejsce, gdzie kontrolka ID będzie świecić na zielono.

Zasięg sygnału i przykładowy montaż wzmacniacza sygnału

n Używanie indywidualnych wzmacniaczy sygnału podłączonych oddzielnie

Umożliwia to zwiększenie zasięgu sygnału z głównego monitora. Ponieważ sygnał jest wysyłany przez główny monitor, do każdego wzmacniacza sygnału można podłączyć różne typy urządzeń. (Na przykład do jednego wzmacniacza sygnału można podłączyć monitory podrzędne, a do drugiego kamery). To przydatne, kiedy chcesz połączyć różne typy urządzeń na krótszych odcinkach.

n Używanie 2 wzmacniaczy sygnału połączonych razem

Umożliwia to zwiększenie zasięgu sygnału z głównego monitora poprzez przesyłanie sygnału bezpośrednio między wzmacniaczami. Ponieważ sygnał jest przesyłany między wzmacniaczami sygnału, do obu wzmacniaczy należy podłączyć ten sam typ urządzeń (tylko monitory podrzędne lub tylko kamery). To przydatne, kiedy chcesz połączyć urządzenia tego samego typu na dłuższych odcinkach.
