1.2 Terminology
Telephone line analog (2 wires) is way of connection to public network
(PSTN line) or connection to PABX –telephone exchange at
place of installation ( extension line)
Line picking up begin of call –same like OFF HOOK by handset
Line hanging up end of call –same like ON HOOK by handset
Dial DTMF - tone dial. It is dial by 2 tones combination (dial also
special character * and #. Use Flash loop interruption)
Pulse –dial by loop interruption (dial numbers only)
Incoming call connection between intercom and phone has been done by
dial from phone.The intercom picks up the call after
preprogrammed number of rings. After picking up and
password inserting you can programm the unit by phone.
Outgoing call connection between intercom and phone has been done by
dial from intercom, for example : by button pressing
Call establishing it is stage when call is picked up by called party. This stage
is not signalled at analog line. It just stop ringing tone and
call starts. It is difficult identify just this moment.
El.lock code function for relay closing by dial digits combination from
intercom buttons
External code Digits combination dial from intercom buttons for relay
activation. External = dial by intercom buttons –out of
building ( at place of door intercom installation)
Internal code Digits combination dial from phone for relay activation
(DTMF). Internal = dial by phone –inside building ( phone
connected to other PBX extension)

1.3 Different Models of Slim Brave door intercom
Brave door intercoms is designed as new generation of door intercom
units reflects all experiences collected during last 10 years of succesfull sales of
door enry solutions. Features and parametres are different for different models
of intercom to provide best balance between price and usage value.
In this manual you will meet features and parametres marked by (C) which are
specific for Brave Slim (Comfort) model only and features and parametres
marked (M) which are planned for modular model (in Slim solution are not
provided due mechanical solution)
Označení dostupných funkcí:
Model LC (low cost) has all features except particularly marked
Model /C is version equiped by full colour analog camera
Model C(comfort) has special features marked by (C)
Model M(modular) has marked (M) –in mechanical Slim solution is not
produced! And it is mentioned in programming tables only which are same for all
models.
1.4 Models of Brave door intercom
SLIM models of Brave LC/C includes appropriate mother board with all
connectable elements.
Brave Slim - 01C Brave Slim - 01C/C Brave Slim –02C Brave Slim –2C/C
Brave Slim - 01LC Brave Slim –01LC/C Brave Slim –02LC Brave Slim –LC/C
Models LCand Care different up mother board components. In model (LC)is
missing:
Second relay
RTC real time clocks for automatic DAY/NIGHT switching
Models with camera /C have added:
Possibility of external powering (usable for relay modes 7 and 8)
automatical / permanent lighting for camera (infra)
switch off cards lighting
disconnectable internal impedance for camera cable ending 75ohm

All functional and connectional elements are marked by red rounded
number at bellow picture. Explanation follow on next page.

1. Camera lighting - infra LED. It lights up space before camera when is active.
It is possible switch off (via. item 7) –version for camera only /C
2. Connector to PC connection via USB cable
3. Analog colour camera –version with camera /C only
4. Speaker connection
5. Microphone connection (caution on polarity)
6. DIP switch in all models:
1 = Service, usage –when programming
password is forgotton. Incoming call is
going directly to programming mode
where you can set new password.
2 = Heating –switch ON integrated heating of mother board to increase resistance
against condensation water during changes of temperature
7. DIP switch position in versions (C)and /C:
3 = external power supply
4 = external power supply –switching 3 and 4 simultaneously. The powering is
used from screw 12V (11) due following reasons:
- using relay mode 7 or 8 –tpermanent switching ON/OFF is possible only
with external power supply. Dont forget setup parametr 64.
- Connection of door intercom to certain type of PBX which has problems
with current consumption on its extensions during start (Siemens).
5 = Camera lighting up (switch ON/OFF lighting of space before camera via infra
LED)
6 = Cards lighting (switch ON/OFF Leds backlighting for cards beside button)
7 = Activate permanent camera operation. In default camera is active only when
door intercom is active.
8 = Allows connect 75ohm to camera output - impedance
8. Analog telephone line (not depends on polarity)
9. Grounding –connection to ground of static electricity protection –protects
electronic of door intercom as same as PBX
10. Relays are galvanically isolated - max. 48V, max. 1,5A
model (C)has 2 relays
model (LC)has 1 relay only
11. Camera output - PAL video 1V / 75ohm. For distance longer than 25m we
recommend coax cable. For other installation UTP cable is also available. /C
model only
12. 12V power supply: - relays control
- mother board heating
- cards backlighting
- camera powering and infra LED camera lighting up
- external powering of unit (DIP 3 and 4)
The power supply might be AC as same as DC, not depends on polarity,
max consumption 250mA from 12V.
The power supply might be used also for electrical lock powering. Then we
recommend power supply 12V/1A.
