R In this manual, the suffix of each model number (e.g., the "FX" in "VL-SWD501FX") is omitted unless

necessary.

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.

Troubleshooting

Problem Cause/solution

The repeater does not work. R When the indicators do not light, the AC adaptor is not

connected properly. Check the connections.

R When the indicators do not light green, move the repeater

closer to the main monitor.

R When the ID indicator does not light, the registration with

main monitor has not completed successfully. Re-register the repeater again.

The transmission condition (for images and sound) of the sub monitor or camera does not improve even when a repeater is installed.

R The sub monitor or camera is too far from the repeater.

→Install the sub monitor or camera within signal range of the

repeater.

R The repeater is too far from the main monitor. (The

indicator is lit or flashing in red.) →Install the repeater in a location where the ID indicator

is stable and lit in green or orange.

R The repeater is too close to the main monitor.

→When the repeater is too close to the main monitor, the

sub monitor or camera only receive signals from the main monitor, thus making the repeater ineffective. Install the repeater in a location where the sub monitor or camera are used, and is as far away from the main monitor as possible while still staying within signal range of the main monitor.

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). R Montaż 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.

R Przed użyciem produktu należy go zarejestrować w systemie wideodomofonowym. R Aby 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.

jest konieczny.

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.
