OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE FAMILIO PRO DIGITAL PANEL
FAM-PRO-xNP-xx-x (ACC, ZS)
GENERAL INFORMATION
The Familio Pro digital video interphone system is designed to be used for single-
family and multi-family solutions, where transmission of a video signal
accompanied by an audio signal is required. The system also allows one to
establish internal connections (intercom) between monitors. The system topology is
based on thernet twisted pair cable, category 5e. The dedicated, energy-saving
switched-mode power supply unit is equipped with an integrated video splitter:
1 input for the exchange unit and 3 monitor outputs.
The panel has got up to 3 independent call buttons. However, it can support
a higher number of monitors assigned to the same button (address). It is also
capable of reading proximity keycards and access badges, which allows the doors
to be easily opened directly from the panel. In the versions with a coded lock, doors
can additionally be opened by means of individual four digit codes. The housing
is made of stainless steel, which ensures effective protection against devastation
and the impact of atmospheric factors. It is easy to operate, functional and easy
to install. The integrated camera is equipped with infrared L Ds (emitting light
invisible to the eye), which allows users to get a video image after dark, without
dazzling the interlocutor. The camera heating-up system ensures good visibility
in any atmospheric conditions and prevents the lens from getting misted over
and it allows the system to operate in low temperatures.

OPERATION
Est blishing communic tion from the p nel
In order to establish communication, press the call button on the panel. If the called monitor is in the system, it will start
to ring (the call lasts for 45 s). Otherwise, the panel will generate a "busy" signal. During a call to a monitor, it is possible
to temporarily mute the ring by touching the – icon.
To receive a call, touch the telephone receiver icon. In the conversation mode, volume can be adjusted with + and –
icons. If a conversation is totally muted (the volume bar grayed out), the microphone in the monitor is switched off as
well. An established connection can last up to 4 minutes. After this period, it is terminated. The monitor has the function
of signalling an unreceived call from the panel. In case a call from the panel is not received, the monitor icon will blink.
The signal is cancelled by touching the icon.
Use of codes nd proximity keyc rds
In order to open the door (usually by activating the electric strike), the user should key in a correct code or bring
a proximity keycard close to the bottom field with a surname (by default, no keycards are registered in the device).
If a non-registered keycard is brought close to the device, the panel will generate a sequence of three sound signals.
It is easiest to manage codes and keycards with the Family PRO computer application. The following codes are factory-
set:
bottom button: 1111 (for address 1)
second button from the bottom: 2222 (for address 2)
third button from the bottom: 3333 (for address 3)
administrator's code: 4444
Attention! It is recommended to change all the codes, once the Panel has been installed.
If the key button is pressed before code keying or using a proximity keycard, an additional device is activated, e.g. a gate
(a special PRO-I/O module is required).
The user can modify codes in the following manner: Introduce the current code. Then, during 1.5 second, press and hold
the “key” button, until (after about 4 s) the panel will issue a single sound. Then, introduce the new four-digit code.
The panel will confirm with a sequence of three sound that it has been accepted.
Restoring factory-defined codes and adding/deleting keycards
It is possible to restore factory-defined opening codes and add/delete proximity keycards if “Block restoration of factory-
defined codes and keycards” option is not enabled. To do this, switch the panel power supply off, wait 5 seconds, press
the call button corresponding to the flat, which an ascribed code and cards are to be restored/deleted, switch the panel
power supply on, hold the button, until the panel issues a long continuous sound. After this operation, the panel will start
to generate a fast intermittent sound signal, which means that it has restored the factory-set code and entered the
keycard adding procedure (while deleting all the keycards that could have been ascribed before). If a keycard is applied
to the bottom surname field, when this sound is being issued (it lasts about 5 seconds), the panel will start to open the
door, which means that the first keycard (master) has been correctly read and recorded. If another unregistered card is
applied during 5 seconds after door opening, the panel will issue a short double sound signal – the next keycard has
been correctly read and recorded (if the keycard is held against the field for too long, the panel will start to open the door
again). After that, one can register other keycards. Up to 10 keycards can be ascribed to one flat (button). To finish the
keycard registration process, wait 5 seconds or press the “#” button. The keycard registration procedure will get
terminated. It is possible to restore the code and delete/add cards corresponding to the administrative account only with
the PC application.
Adding keyc rds by me ns of the “m ster” keyc rd”
very first keycard that is added to a particular flat and administrative account has the status of the “master” card that
can be used to add further cards. To do this, open the door with the master card and apply an unregistered card to the
field during 5 seconds after the door was opened. The panel will start to open the door again, which means the next
keycard has been correctly read and registered. The procedure is analogous to the one described above.
SYSTEM CONNECTION AND ASSEMBLY
The RJ45 jack should be crimped according to standard T568B. The signals on particular lines are presented in Fig. 4.1.
Before switching the power on, one should ensure th t ll the connections h ve been m de in compli nce with
the di gr m, th t RJ45 plugs re correctly crimped nd th t there re not short-circuits between c ble
conductors.
Fig. 4.1 Distribution of lines in RJ45 connector and description of terminals
It is recommended to use thernet twisted pair cable (UTP, at least category 5e) for system cabling, and to use at least
1.5 mm2 conductors to supply power to the electric strike, while keeping the distances indicated in Fig. 4.3. Panel
connections can be made interchangeably by means the RJ45 socket or screwed terminal connectors. lectric strike
power supply and control lines should be made of cables appropriate for the consumed current (typically 2x1.5 mm2).
In case RJ45 connector is used, twisted pair should be crimped as shown in Fig. 4.2. When screwed terminal connectors
are used, they should be made according to 4.2: power supply to +DC and GND terminals, the signal line to the LIN

terminal, the video signal to V+ and V- terminals. If the distance between the power-supply unit and the panel is small (up
to 10 m), it is admissible to supply the electric strike with power over the twisted pair cable and the RJ45 connector.
In this case, the +DC terminal should be connected to L POW+, while GND to L POW-. Such connection
rr ngement is not recommended. In c se of incorrect system oper tion, the electric strike should be supplied
with power over sep r te line. An optional DC power-supply unit can be used to support the electric strike.
The parameters of the unit should correspond to these of the strike. The INPUT terminals allow an external button/switch
to be connected, to control the electric strike “from the inside”. The maximum resistance of the INPUT circuit must
not exceed 20Ω. The panel should be connected, when the power is off.

Fig. 4.3 Basic information on the length of lines and conductor t pes
Notes:
1) The distance specified for cat 5e can be increased by increasing conductor cross-section area (e.g. cat 6e
or by adding a thicker conductor for the Line, GND and +DC signals). In order to connect the panel at the distance
exceeding 100m, one should implement an additional power-supply unit (e.g. DR-45-15), connected directly to the Panel.
2) UTP Cat 5e twisted pair is required to ensure correct video signal transmission. The visual signal can get distorted
if other cable types are used.
3) Power supply for the electric strike (if required) – no power-supply unit dedicated to support the electric strike
1)2)3) If conductors used to connect the system differ from the recommended ones or the distances exceed the specified
values, system installation is still possible, yet one should perform a test connection of the set and check, if the entire
system functions correctly. One can also get in touch with the technical support at www.aco.com.pl, [email protected].
The wiring of the video interphone s stem (especiall the audio/video signal conductors) should not run in close vicinit
of other installations (power-suppl , telecommunication, alarm s stem lines), as the proximit ma have an adverse
impact on the s stem operation. The communication volume is factory-set in the panel (as shown in Fig. 4.4).
The volume can be corrected in the following manner, after establishing a connection with a monitor:
“MIC” potentiometer adjusts the sensitivity of the panel microphone,
“SPK” potentiometer adjusts the volume of the panel loudspeaker.
Once these values are set with the “BALANCE” potentiometer, identify the points of panel loudspeaker excitation
(shrieking noise) and set the potentiometer half-way between these points. The volume of sounds generated by the
panel loudspeaker is set with the “PIC” potentiometer.
The panel should be mounted in such a way, as to minimize the impact of adverse atmospheric conditions, especially
that of water. The camera should be installed at the required height, typically 1.6 m above the ground. To ensure

the visual field is optimum, one should experiment with the actual place of mounting and panel position. Avoid places,
where the camera lens could be exposed to direct, perpendicular light rays (sunlight, street lamps, etc.). The box for
flush-mounting (or a flush-mounting adapter) should be mounted in an appropriate opening in the wall (or a brick column
by means of plaster and expansion plugs (5) (or appropriate screws) inserted into boreholes, so that the box flange
surface is flush with the wall/column surface. In case the device is to be mounted on a steel post (or similar structure,
where the max. wall thickness is 32 mm), one should use an additional set of seals and bolts (3) that can be purchase
separatel . Cables should be introduced into the box through opening (1) in the box base (to get a bigger opening,
remove the hole plug). Auxiliary openings (4) are used for temporary mounting, for instance, with nails, when the device
is mounted on soft material surfaces (e.g. styrofoam). Openings (4) also facilitate mounting, when caulking foam is used.
Hole plug (2) should be removed, to mount the additional module in its place. To ensure the enclosure is as hermetic
as possible, cut only the openings that are indispensable to mount the panel. The se l should be inst lled just before
mounting the interphone p nel (to prevent it from getting soiled or covered with dust). Implement a seal made
of a single section of silicone cord. Cut the seal only when it has been set in the housing. Check the condition of the
seal and the groove. If there are cracks, deformations in the seal and/or the groove or the seal and/or the groove are
soiled, the enclosure will not be hermetic. Place the seal in the box groove, press it inside by passing a finger along the
groove, do not stretch (stretching reduces the diameter), cut with scissors at the end. Do not remove the seal with
pointed or metal tools. Such objects may scratch or damage the box groove or the seal. The flush-mounting box should
be mounted in an appropriate place with openings (6) and expansion plugs or appropriate screws. Cables are introduced
throug opening (7) in the box base. Then, all housing bolts are screwed down to the assembly box by means of a 3 mm
Allen key.
