Adjusting video gain:
To adjust the gain of the RD-GB2A module, press button on one of the monitors connected to the RD-GB2A
module to be displayed (the image of the door panel will be displayed on the monitor). Note: The image should be
displayed throughout the process.
.
Step 1: Press button on one of the monitors connected to the RD-GB2A module that requires video gain
adjustment; the 'In-Use' LED will illuminate. (Note: RD-GB2A in gateway mode, establish communication with
the general entrance door panel).
Step 2: Press button PA or PB to reduce or increase the gain level of the RD-GB2A module respectively. The status
LEDs will indicate the modified gain level; see table:
Step 3: Then, to save the selected gain value, press the 'NoRoute' button for 3 seconds; the 'In-Use' LED will blink.
Step 4: Press the 'NoRoute' button again for 3 seconds until the LED illuminates. This indicates that the RD-GB2A
module is operating with the gain value set in the previous steps in 'fixed mode' (always).
Step 5: Check that the new gain value is correct. With the monitor video activated, press the 'NoRoute' button and check
that the status LEDs indicate the required gain value (see video gain table in step 2).
Note: Repeat the procedure (steps 1 to 5) until the RD-GB2Amodule is set to the required video gain

'Fixed' mode: The RD-GB2A module will always use the gain configured in the module.
Step 1: Press button on one of the monitors connected to the RD-GB2A module that requires
video gain adjustment; the 'In-Use' LED will illuminate. (Note: RD-GB2A in gateway mode,
establish communication with the general entrance door panel).
Step 2: Then press the 'NoRoute' button for 3 seconds and repeat this step until the 'In-Use' status LED
illuminates.
'Automatic' mode: The RD-GB2A module adjusts the gain automatically when it connects to the
system.
Step 1: Press button on one of the monitors connected to the RD-GB2A module that requires
adjustment to 'automatic' mode; the 'In-Use' LED will illuminate.
Step 2: Then press the 'NoRoute' button for 3 seconds and repeat this step until the 'In-Use' status LED
is blinking.
Default settings:
To use the default settings of the RD-GB2A module (level 1 gain and 'fixed' mode):
Step 1: Disconnect the module from the power supply.
Step 2: Reconnect the module to the power supply. Then, during the first 10 seconds, with the RD-GB2A
module in standby, press the 'NoRoute' button for 3 seconds; the 'In-Use' status LED will blink once
confirming that the module is now using the default settings.

IMPORTANT:
-In door panel systems with call buttons, the first address on the monitor is 'Code 0'.
-In coded panel systems (N3301/GB2), on , 'code 0' is 'code 32', which means that when a call isRD-GB2A module No. 1
made to a monitor with 'code 0' (DIP 1 to DIP 5 set to OFF), needs to be entered on the N3301/GB2 numeric
keypad.
-In the software (Address Manager GB2) of the EL632-GB2A module, button P1 with call 'code 0' is also shown as
'code 32'.

The EL610D button module needs to be configured in order to assign a call
code to the buttons. Carry out this configuration with the DIP switch
located at the back of the module.
Depending on the configuration option selected, the buttons will be assigned
with a certain call code.
To configure the call code on the monitors. It is worth noting the call code
of each button, as shown in the table below.
Important: Select a different configuration option for each EL610D module.
