Power input.
The consumption of the video door entry unit depends on the current operating mode of the device (standby, on
call, red/green LED on, control activation, etc.).
The average values of the power input in the three typical operating modes are the following:
- on standby 15 mA.
- on call 200 mA.
- with monitor on 150 mA.
N.B. The above values are given as a guideline.
Operation of the ELVOX DigiBus system.
The ELVOX DigiBus system permits digital coding of the devices and commands that are sent or that come from
the external plate; the latter can be considered as the master device (main appliance governing communication
between the digital devices in the system), while every other single digital device can be considered as a slave
(secondary appliance that is piloted/controlled by the master).
The external plate is therefore absolutely essential for operation of the DigiBus system and must always
be installed in the system. All the programming parameters (call time, type of bell, electric lock opening, code
numbers of the indoor stations, etc.) are set and stored (until the next programming) in the main external plate
(EEPROM memory).
NOTE: Alternatively to the outdoor plate there are other master devices such as, for example, the consumer unit in
the porter's lodge, the consumer unit on EN 50022 rails for PC, etc. (see the ELVOX DigiBus catalogue).
For programming the plate and all the parameters correlated with it, see the relevant ELVOX technical literature.
The communication protocol used by the DigiBus system is proprietary ELVOX and is “serial-similar” with active
level at 12 V d.c. (0 V d.c. at rest) and communication input on the digital line of 25 mA (current limiter on plate).
The standard speed is 600 b/s that enables reaching distances on the digital bus of a few kilometres.
Compatible ELVOX power supplies.
The power supplies that can be used for installing the system are all those in the ELVOX DigiBus range; in particular
the following articles are recommended:
• 6948 (standard video door entry unit power supply).
• 6947 (supplementary power supply for monitor and call signal).
• 6942 (supplementary power supply for plates, consumer unit and video distributors).
For all the technical characteristics (power supply voltage, current delivered, absorption, description of terminals,
etc.) see the ELVOX technical manuals.
