MANUAL INTRODUCTION

The information in this manual is intended as an installation and commissioning guide for
the vandal resistant one button audio intercom kit. This manual should be read carefully
before the installation commences. Any damage caused to the equipment due to faulty
installations where the information in this manual has not been followed is not the
responsibility of Videx Security Ltd.

VIDEX run free training courses for engineers who are not familiar with the Videx product
range. Technical help is also available on 0191 224 3174 during office hours or via e-mail

SYSTEM INTRODUCTION

This kit will enable a caller at an entrance point to signal an occupant in the dwelling by
pressing a call button which will send an electronic call tone to an audio telephone. A
Yellow ‘SPEAK’ LED will indicate the call has been answered and a two way conversation
can take place, the occupant can release an electric lock release by pressing a button on
the telephone base unit. The kit does not include the electric lock release. A 12V AC
release should be used with this kit (The output for the lock is a dry contact relay so any
other type of lock can be used with an appropriate PSU). If this kit is to be used with a
gate, the dry contact output can be used to trigger the gate control board. DDA features
such as a ‘SPEAK’ LED, ‘DOOR OPEN’ LED and reassurance tones are standard on this
kit.
A two code, two relay codelock unit is also incorporated into the door panel to allow users
to gain access using an access code.

SYSTEM COMPONENTS

This kit comprises of a flush or surface vandal resistant door panel, audio telephone and
PSU. Up to a maximum of three telephones can be used on the system to call in parallel.

DOOR PANEL

The vandal resistant door panel will consist of an amplifier module, codelock module,
button, vandal resistant plate, frame and back box.

Dip-Switches

The four way dip-switch bank has the following functions. Please note: dip-switches must
be set before power up. Any changes made when power is on will not take effect until a
power down reset.

INSTALLATION

The wiring diagram towards the back of this manual should be followed carefully. Heavy
duty conductors on wiring diagrams are shown heavily outlined; these wires should be
doubled up.

- Check that all components are free from damage before installing (Do not proceed with installation in the
event of damage).

- Keep all packaging away from children.

- Do not obstruct the ventilation openings or slots on any of the devices.

- All connections to mains voltages must be made to the current national standards (IEE Wiring
regulations)

- Install an appropriate fused spur or isolation switch to isolate the mains.

- Isolate the mains before carrying out any maintenance work on the system.

- All intercom and access control cables must be routed separately from the mains.

- When the panel is mounted on an uneven surface, use additional sealant to protect from water ingress.

Lock release back EMF protection : A

capacitor should be fitted across the terminals on

an AC lock release as shown in the diagram

below to suppress back EMF voltages.

Maximum acceptable resistance for above cables = 3Ω

TESTING THE INSTALLATION

- Check all the connections have been made correctly and dip-switches have been set
and then power up the system.

- Call the apartments. Check for call to the apartment, speech in both directions and lock
release and correct operation of the SPEAK & DOOR OPEN LED’s.

- If the volume of speech needs to be adjusted, this can be done by adjusting the presets
on the rear of the amplifier at the door panel.

- Program a code into the codelock and check it releases the door for the programmed
time.

PANEL CARE

The door panel is manufactured from 12 Gauge 304 grade stainless steel. It is important
that the facia is cleaned on regular occasions to prevent dirt build up and tarnishing of the
metal. A general household metal polish can be used but care should be taken to follow
the grain of the metal when polishing and also avoid any polish build up around the call
button which may prevent the button from operating correctly.

ACCESSORIES CONNECTION GUIDE

512A Extension sounder ES/1 Extension Strobe

o A normally open push to exit button can be connected across PTE & - on the door

panel.

o When triggering a gate, use C & NO as dry contacts.
o When using a fail safe lock release use a separate DC PSU and the NC connection

instead of the NO connection.

o Remember to fit the 0.1uF capacitor across the lock release.

VR4KCLM-1 CODELOCK

The VR4KCLM-1 includes two relays (5A contacts), two push to exit inputs (Switched
negative) and can have up to two 4 to 8 digit access codes programmed (One per relay).
The relay times can be programmed from 01 second up to 99 seconds or by setting the
relay time to 00, latch the relay (To latch, enter the code followed by enter and to unlatch
enter the code followed by clear).

INITIAL PROGRAMMING

All programming is carried out using the codelock keypad. The programming menu is
protected by an engineer’s code. The factory default engineers code is 111111 (6x1). This
code can be changed to any four to eight digit code during the program but must be
different to the codes used to gain entry. Follow the flow chart to setup the system:-

Enter the engineer’s

code.

111111

Then press enter

The red LED will illuminate to acknowledge programming mode. If the red
LED does not illuminate check the master code is correct. If the master
code may have been changed from the factory default and you do not
know what it is then follow the factory default procedure on the following
page.

Enter a new engineers

code or enter the same

engineers code again

followed b

y

enter

This code can be from 4 – 8 digits and will not activate a relay. It can only
be used to enter programming mode.
Note this new code in the box provided on the next page. It will be needed
to re-program the codes in the future.

Enter the access code

for relay 1 and then

press enter

This code will be used to open the door/gate (Relay 1). The code can be
from 4 – 8 digits long and must be different from the engineer’s code.

Enter a two digit relay 1

time from 00 – 99 and

then

p

ress enter

This is the time the relay 1 will energise for. 00 will latch the relay when
the code is entered and require the code followed by clear to unlatch.

Enter the access code

for relay 2 and then

press enter

This code will be used to open the door/gate (Relay 2). The code can be
from 4 – 8 digits long and must be different from the engineer’s code.

Enter a two digit relay 2

time from 00 – 99 and

then

p

ress enter

This is the time the relay 2 will energise for. 00 will latch the relay when
the code is entered and require the code followed by clear to unlatch.

More

codes?

YES

NO

Press enter twice

The red LED will go off to confirm the exit from programming mode.

TROUBLE SHOOTING

SYMPTOM TEST

No speech from the door panel to the
telephone.

Check terminal 2 on the amplifier for continuity to
terminal 2 on the telephone.

Check the voltage drops to approx. 1Vdc after the
handset is lifted. (If not try another telephone)
If all else fails try another amplifier at the door station

No speech from the telephone to the door
panel.

Check terminal 1 on the door panel amplifier for
continuity back to terminal 1 on the telephone.

Check the voltage drops to approx. 4Vdc after the
handset is lifted. (If not try another telephone)
If all else fails try another amplifier at the door station

No speech in either direction

Check the 315mA fuse in the power supply
Check for 12Vdc across terminals + & - on the door

panel amplifier. This should be there all the time and
comes directly from the PSU.

Lock will not operate from telephone

Check terminal 5 on the telephone. This terminal
shorts to terminal 3 of the telephone when pressed
(Becomes 0V) and sends a 0V to terminal 5 on the
VX136 amplifier at the door panel which in turn
triggers the relay
Check the relay on the VX136 is energising. Use a
continuity meter to check the switching.

Nothing happens when call button is
pressed

Check the common of the button is connected to T
on the VX136

Check continuity from the other side of the call
button to terminal 4 on the handset

Hum on the speech lines

Ensure all intercom cables do not run close to higher
voltage cables
Try another amplifier at the door panel.

Codelock not operating

Check power on terminals 1 & 2 on the codelock is
12V. If this voltage is lower it may not operate the
relays correctly.
Check the keys beep when pressed. This will not
happen if the codelock is faulty or has the incorrect
power connected to terminals 1 & 2

Try re-programming the codelock
