Introduction

The Art380 is a self contained telephone interface module for use on an analogue telephone
line. Its primary function is to enable a user to communicate with a telephone line and a door
entry point (or points) from the same telephone handset. This handset can be a standard
corded model, a cordless such as a DECT telephone or even a hands free telephone. The
Art380’s main features are listed below:-

o Communicate with both a telephone line and door entry points.
o Open a door using the telephone keypad.
o Open the speech to a door entry point without first being called.
o Activate up to two auxiliary outputs. (Outputs can be either momentary or latching).
o Reverse the door open relay for use with power to lock releases.
o Make the following call adjustments in programming mode:-

• Number of rings (From 1 – 10 rings)

• Door open time (From 1 – 18 seconds)

• Door open key (Either 0(default), 8 or 9)

• Internal/external speech volume.

o Divert the call to another pre-programmed number. or is engaged).
o Program an access code to protect the programming and the use of facilities in either

divert mode or normal mode.

o Operate in a hands free mode (Speech automatically adjusts the gain to the direction

of speech).

o One way speech mode (Simplex speech)
o PABX mode (Allows the units to operate without the need for a telephone line).
o Dial in facility which allows the Art380 to be activated from an incoming telephone call.

Mounting instructions

The Art380 can be either mounted to a DIN rail or mounted directly to a wall. Begin by
removing the terminal side covers by unscrewing the retaining screws. Either clip the Art380
to a DIN rail or screw directly to the wall using two screws and suitable wall plugs. You should
leave the terminal side covers off until all connections have been made.

Safety notes

The system must be installed by a competent installer following the regulations in force. We
recommend:-

• Use an appropriate fused spur to isolate the mains from the Art380.

• Isolate the mains before removing any covers from the system (Please note: There are no

user serviceable parts within the Art380 and so the covers should only be removed by a
competent technician).

Connections to the telephone line

Each telephone line coming into your home or office must be fitted with a six pin primary
socket installed by the PTO (Public Telecommunication Operator). It is illegal to tamper in any
way with this primary socket and you can’t install it yourself. Additional connections to the
primary socket must be carried out using a BT style plug (You cannot connect directly to the

3 of 19

terminals inside). The ART380 telephone interface unit is supplied with a BT style plug. For
more information, see relevant paper work supplied with extension sockets.
When connecting additional equipment to a telephone line it is good practise to first check the
equipment already installed by previous engineers. This includes any additional secondary
sockets, digital set top box such as Sky Digital, faxes, modems, Broadband and REDCARE
alarm monitoring etc. The following precautions should be observed when connecting to any
of the named above:-

Secondary sockets
If secondary sockets are installed, open each one and check it is a secondary socket and not
another master (A secondary socket will not contain any components whereas a master
socket will have a capacitor, resistor and suppressor fitted). Only one master socket should
be connected after the Art380. If there are more than one fitted they must be replaced with
secondary (Slave) sockets. (Also note: The Art380 is only capable of ringing two handsets
with a REN value of 1 each).

Sky Digital, Faxes, Redcare and modems

Sky digital, fax machines,
Redcare or any other
form of telephone line
based monitoring and
conventional modems
must be fitted before the
Art380 and not after.

Broadband
On installations with broadband it is important to connect the Art380 into the system as shown
below:-

Note: The
Art380 must
always connect
after an ADSL
Filter.

Connecting more than one handset

Up to one additional handset can be connected, using secondary telephone sockets as
shown in the diagram below.

Interface

If more telephones are required. They should be connected to the Art380 via a REN booster
(The REN booster is a third party product not supplied by Videx). IMPORTANT NOTE: When

using a REN boost the Art.380 must be put into PABX mode. It will then be necessary
to press ‘0’ to get an outside line.

Lock release back EMF protection

A capacitor must be fitted across the terminals on an AC lock release and a diode must be
fitted across the terminals on a DC lock release to suppress back EMF voltages. The
diagrams below show how to connect these components to the lock releases.
