Safety instructions
General safety regulations
Assembly, installation, commissioning and repair of electronic devices must be carried out by
qualified electricians.
Observe the latest regulations and standards for system installations.
WARNING! Danger to life due to electric shock
When working on main power connections of 230 V, the safety regulations according to DIN
VDE 0100 must be observed.
When installing TCS:BUS systems the general safety regulations for telecommunication sys-
tems according to VDE 0800 must be observed. Inter alia:
separated cable routing of high and low voltage lines
minimum distance of 10 cm in case of a common cable routing
use of separators between high and low voltage lines within shared cable ducts
use of standard telecommunication lines, e.g. J-Y (St) Y with 0.8 mm diameter,
already existing lines (modernisation) with deviating cross-sections can be used in compli-
ance with the loop resistance
Observe the general requirements for network installations according to DIN EN 50173.
Requirements to protect against lightning
ATTENTION! Device damage due to over-voltage
By suitable lightning protection measures it has to be ensured that the electric voltage of 32 V
DC at each connection is not to be exceeded.

Product description
Intended use
The IP video front door station ARGOS is a terminal for access control that combines access control and
video door communication. Video door communication can be implemented into a network directly via
SIP phones.
The IP video front door station ARGOS is suitable for flush- and surface-mount in the outdoor area.
For applications, which differ from the intended use or goes beyond it, the manufacturer ac-
cepts no liability.

Operation / configuration
capacitive colour touch screen with 5.7'' LCD (640 x 480 pixel)
brightness depends on the ambient light
configuration via LCD menus and web interface
customisable start screen
integrated data base, up to 1000 call destinations can be stored
Event handler
assigning events to actions
a maximum of 50 links can be configured
events:
– access control (RFID and/or PIN)
– tamper contact (contact, acceleration)
– SIP (INFO/DTMF, INVITE, BYE)
– trigger inputs
– RFID
– PIN
– TIMER
actions:
– video (PTZ, snapshot)
– relay
– SIP (INVITE, BYE, TALK)
– IP (HTTP GET, UDP Broadcast)
– LCD (Switch screen, Display ON/OFF)
Example 1:
An access event switches a relay. A video snapshot is taken and the message Access grant-
ed is displayed.
Example 2:
A relay is switched on in case of a SIP-DTMF signal and switched off after the timer period
has elapsed.
The configuration of the event handler is only approved for trained system integrators.
