Quick Install & Test
The 3228 Station Port FXS Doorphone is pre-configured for a typical
installation. All that is needed is to configure a target phone number.
Programming is only required to
change default setting or for more
advanced applications.
1. Connect the power supply to the
Power Jack of the Doorphone
Controller and plug into an
available AC outlet.
2. Flush or surface-mount the
Digital Door Station at desired
location and connect a twisted
telephone wire pair between the
“CTRL” terminals of the Door
Station and the center pair
(red and green) of the supplied
Telephone Wiring Jack. Polarity is
not important.
3. Using the short six conductor
modular cable, connect the Telephone Wiring Jack to the Door Station Jack
of the Doorphone Controller.
4. Using the 6 foot (1.8 m) two-wire modular cable, connect your FXS
Gateway or analog station port of a traditional phone system to the
Telephone Jack of the Doorphone Controller.
5. Program the target telephone number for the 3228 to dial by using either
the DTMF interface, or by connecting to a PC via USB (see “Programming &
Configuration” on page 10).
To use the DTMF commands for programming, first establish a call by
dialling the telephone number of the 3228 from another telephone.
The 3228 will auto-answer the call.

Application Basics
Typical Applications for Auxiliary Inputs and Outputs
The 3228 architecture and digital link between the Door Station and Controller
provides flexible options using the auxiliary inputs and outputs. These are some
typical applications:
Cancel Ring When Door Opened
In a residential or warehouse installation it is not uncommon for the door to
be answered in person before the phone is answered. Either Door Station or
Control Unit inputs can be configured to cancel ring if the door is opened
before a call is answered. This requires a normally closed or normally open
contact to detect door open.
Trigger Door Bell from Door Station
When the Door Station call button is pressed, either (or both) the Door Station
or Control Unit dry contact output can be configured to activate a door bell or
auxiliary alerting system in addition to phone ring.
Trigger Door Station from External Button/Event
Either the Control Unit or Door Station can accept a dry contact closure to
activate the Doorphone as if the call button had been pressed. This could be an
external doorbell button, PIR detector, or some other system.
Cancel Door Open Relay once Door Opened
The door opening control can be set for activation (using the `Open Code’) up
to 30 seconds (set by the `Relay Time’ setting) to allow sufficient time for entry.
For security, the 3228 Doorphone can be configured to cancel Door Opening
once the door is opened to prevent “tailgating” by unauthorized personnel.
Unlock Door Indefinitely until Canceled
The door opening control can be set to unlock indefinitely (using the `Latch
Open Code’) until canceled (using the `Release Code’) that locks it again. This
allows an entrance to be used repeatedly for a period of time without requiring
multiple activations of the door control relay.

- 8 -
Anti-Door Tamper
A feature of the 3228 Doorphone is to ring the telephone(s) with a warning alert
in the event a door is ajar due to tampering (such as a door blocked open after
being legitimately released for a visitor).
In-Use and Ring
Either the Control Unit or Door Station can be configured to provide a dry
contact output during ring or in-use for channel selection (typically) of third
party video monitoring systems.
For more information on applications for the
3228 Station Port FXS Doorphone, please visit www.algosolutions.com/3228.
The 3228 Doorphone firmware may be modified by USB connection to a
PC and Algo routinely accepts requests for custom firmware for unique
applications.

Door or Gate Control Basics
Door control contacts are provided from the Doorphone Controller and are
typically used for door strike activation or gate control. For security, the door
control relay is located in the Controller to avoid entry by tampering. The Door
Station dry contact output (OUT) may be configured for ‘low security’ gate
control requiring a low current dry contact.
Door Release
Door release typically involves energizing or de-energizing a door strike which
pivots to allow a locked door to open without retraction of the latch bolt. There
are two different types of door strikes:
• “Fail Locked” (or “Fail Secure”)
• “Fail Unlocked” (or “Fail Safe”)
24V 0.3A
Door
Strike
“Fail Locked”
24 Vdc 0.2 A Typical
24V 0.3A
“Fail Unlocked”
24 Vdc 0.2 A Typical
Fail Locked / Fail Secure Electric Strike
These require power to release and remain
locked during power failure. The door may
still normally be opened from the outside
with a key, or from inside without a key.
The door control relay is used to apply
power to release the door.
Fail Unlocked / Fail Safe Electric Strike
These (as well as magnetic locks), require
power to lock and become unlocked
during power failure. The door control
relay is used to maintain power to the
door lock (NC and C contacts) which is
interrupted to release the door. Magnetic
locks may require override systems to allow
safety exit in the event of fire.

- 14 -
Power Supply
The Doorphone Controller provides an auxiliary 24 V 0.3 A power supply
which is suitable for common types of door strikes. If more current or a different
voltage is required, then the customer must provide a matching power supply
for the electric strike or magnetic lock. Maximum switching capability of the
door control contacts is 1 A 30 V.
The Door Control relay may also be configured for alternate functionality
including In-Use, Ring, and Call Button Press.

- 15 -
Connections and Lights
Auxiliary Dry Contact Outputs
Both the Doorphone Controller and Door Station provide a dry contact output
for connection to auxiliary devices. Maximum switching capacity is 30 V 50 mA.
Default operations are as follows:
• Doorphone Controller Output = In-Use (commonly used for camera control)
• Door Station Output = Call Button Press (commonly used to activate a
secondary door bell)
Other options for Doorphone Controller output include Ring and Call Button
Press. Other options for Door Station output include In-Use and Door Control.
See “Programming & Configuration” on page 10 for more information on options.
Auxiliary Dry Contact Inputs
Both the Doorphone Controller and Door Station can detect a dry contact
closure from auxiliary devices. A non-capacitive and non-inductive low voltage
and low current is used to detect contact closure.
Default operations are as follows:
• Doorphone Controller input = Door Sensor Normally Closed (used to
detect door open)
• Door Station input = Call Button Normally Open (used to detect external
doorbell switch)
Options for Doorphone Controller input include Door Sensor Normally Closed,
Door Sensor Normally Open, Manual Door Release, Door Control Lockout, Call
Button Normally Closed, and Call Button Normally Open.
Options for Door Station input include Door Sensor Normally Closed, Door
Sensor Normally Open, Call Button Normally Closed, and Call Button
Normally Open.
