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. 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.

BRAVE –user guide
11
You can also use 24V DC power supply. It is useful mainly at installations
where power supply is already installed and it is used for sliding doors,
RFID, etc.. The heating has control element to restrict power.
The remaining components are designed for voltage up 24V DC!!!
It not depends on polarity.

2.2 Connection
The basic functionality of intercom (voice communication) needs
connection of telephone line only - LINE (8) on .Pict. 1 Brave Slim. The line is
connected by 2 wires (a,b) and in stand by has usually voltage 24V - 60V, short
circuit current 20mA - 60mA. When line is OFF HOOK the line voltage is 7V -
10V.
Line connection Brave Slim intercom announce by sound signal
(Reset) ♫ (capture 3.1 page.21) when is disconnected from line certain time.
Brave Slim is analog intercom designed for connection to analog line( PSTN line
or PBX analog extension) it means line where works ordinary analog phone. It
works regardless to line polarity and in range mentioned in technical parametres
(capture 6).
Paralel connection –we not recommend! Paralell connection with
other analog phone or other door intercom is not recommended! We also not
recommend use special devices switching the line ( inteligent couplers,
adapters, etc..).
When model of Brave Slim is with camera /C then on screw CAM (11)
on Pict. 1. connect cable for video transmission. Up to 25m you can use one
free pair of UTP cable. For longer distances you have to use coax cable Pict. 1.
Camera mode you setup by DIP switch (capture 1.5) and camera is either
activated automatically (when intercom is active) or is permanently ON (DIP 7).
Camera lighting up by infra LED is either active with camera (DIP 5) or you can
permanently switch OFF. Due DIP 8 you can paralelly connect to video output
impedance 75ohm
12V power supply (12) on Pict. 1 must be connected for mother board
heating, cards backlighting, camera powering inludes infra LEDs and for relays
control. The power supply might be AC and also DC, not depends on polarity.
From 12V is max consumption 250mA. Power supply might be used also for
electrical lock powering. Then we recommend power supply 12V/1A. You can
also use 24V DC power supply. It is useful mainly at installations where power
supply is already installed and it is used for sliding doors, RFID, etc..
You can use only 24DC power supply not AC!!! Not depends on polarity.
Relays (10) on Pict. 1 have many possibilities in practise usage. The
examples (drawings) are mentioned on Pict. 2. 12V power supply must be
connected for correct operation. The intercom unit has galvanically isolated all
important parts. Telephone line is isolated from power supply and relays
contacts are also galvanically isolated from other intercom electronic parts.
In any case must not be activated directly main voltage 120V or
230V !!! When you need control main devices please use contactors ( power
relays) as it is on Pict. 2 example (6) .

Relays connection examples are mentiond on following page. It is not all of
them but give you an idea how should be connected individual circuits (red rings
with numbers = example numbers).
1. Basic connection - 2 elektrical locks and possibility independently control
two doors. (relay mode 1 and 2 m=1) or progressive door opening (relay
mode 2 m=5 - version (C) only.
2. Two power supply –possibility to use independently two power supply One
for Brave Slim and second for electrical locks. Second electrical lock is
connected inversaly (fire emergency exit).
3. Combination of doors with electrical lock and sliding gate at fencing.
4. Extending of previous example (3) about second doors with progressive
opening (this feature is setup in TimeRelay - optional modul)
5. Combination of electrical lock and additional ring. Relay of additional ring
might be in mode m=4 (from each button is activated for preprogrammed
time) or in mode m=6 (it is activated from one presetup button for
preprogrammed time)
6. Lighting activation m=3 (for example: way to building ) and control of for
example: heating up DAY/NIGHT mode m=8 ( (C) version only - RTC
circuit). External power supply required (DIP 3 and 4) /C version only.
Further is neccessary use contactor (Brave Slim must not activate 230V!).
