System Composition
Flush Mounting Monitor 20550 with module 01962 or surface mounting video door entry 01954 able to have images and voice interact for viewing and communicating with the person at the outdoor station. Equipped with 16 terminals, they enable connecting up with all the other appliances in the system (power supply, etc.).
Flush Mounting Speakerphones 20556 and 14556 that enable communication with the outdoor station (Elvox plate or call button 20576 and 14576).
Flush Mounting Landing Call Push Buttons 20576 and 14576 that enable calling and communication to the indoor station (flush mounting monitor or surface mounting speakerphones 20556 and 14556).
Flush Mounting Video Cameras available in 1- and 2-module sized (art. 20560, 14560 and 20565, 14565 respectively), enable filming the subject that will then be displayed on the mounting monitor or on the surface mounting video door entry.
Indoor Light 20570 and 14570 that, installed with the video cameras, enables lighting the subject to film so that the image displayed on the flush mounting monitor or on the surface mounting video door entry is clear and sharp.
Power Supplies which manage the audio and video communication between the indoor and outdoor stations and integrate the lock mechanisms, call generators and the necessary power supplies towards both the pillar and the outdoor stations.
The power supplies that can be used for installing the system are all those in the Elvox DigiBus range (for more details on these devices see the Elvox technical literature).
Distributors are used to duplicate the video signal so it can be received by more than one monitor; the devices that can be used are all those in the Elvox DigiBus range (for more details on these devices see the Elvox technical literature).
Plates understood as audi or audi-video devices that permit identifying the subject requesting access to the dwelling; the Elvox range offers various types of plates that can be used in a DigiBus installation (for all detail please refer to the dedicated Elvox literature). In the Digibus system the external plate is absolutely essential for operation 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 in the plate.
Elvox DigiBus surface mounting audio and video door entry installations that can be used with Vimar appliances in all installations where it is not possible to use flush mounting devices (for all the technical details, please refer to the dedicated Elvox literature).
Note: The 1 and 2 module flush mounting video cameras and the LED light are common articles in both Sound System and DigiBus systems (the codes are the same).
Functions and Applications
The main functions that can be accomplished thanks to the DigiBus system are the following:
Call Answering When a call is made from an outdoor station (external plate or landing call push button), the video door entry unit emits an audible warning and the LCD monitor lights up to display the person calling.
The audio communication is made by keeping a speakerphone button of the video door entry unit pressed throughout the conversation.
Self-Start This function is used to activate audio/video communication on the outdoor station without a call being received; this function is useful, for example, to check the area outside the dwelling.
Confidential Conversation This function is used to communicate with the outdoor station only if a call has arrived or there has been a self-start. It is not possible to listen to other communications in progress or self-start while a conversation is in progress.
"Door Open" Signal This function is used to display a LED signal on the video door entry indicating that the door or gate is open.
Lock Control This control activates the lock opening relay of the door or gate providing access to the dwelling.
Stairs Light Control With this control it is possible to activate the output used to control an appropriate external relay connected to one or more lamps to switch on.
"User away" function This type of function allows the user to signal his/her absense to the control unit (where applicable); in addition it can also be used when the user is present but does not want to be disturbed. When this function is enabled, the video door entry unit receving the call emits no audible warning, but sends the "user away" command to the control unit (where applicable) or the external plate.
Auxillary Function This control can be used to activate external devices or servies such as, for instance, courtesy lights, automation, etc.; to use this function you need to install a suitable external relay.
Outside Call Via the wiring of the dedicated terminal in the video door entry it is possible to differentiate the sound of a call from the outside button (for example, landing, secondary entrance, etc.) to distinguish it from a call from the outdoor station.
Supplementary Bells It is necessary to transmit the call warning to different points of the system (for example, very large dwellings), it is possible to install external bell repeaters.
All the functions are accoomplished with digital commands; these are data that can be sent by every device containing the information that enables activating a particular function (unlocking, etc.).
The actuators can be relays or voltage generators in the power supplies that are controlled by master devices (plate) after receiving the data containing the command to actuate.
The plate parameters can be configured in three different ways:
- directly from the plate using the alphanumeric keypad or single buttons;
- via the specific programmer Elvox 950B
- using a PC with a serial interface Elvox 6952 and software Elvox "PC Digibus ANALYZER".
