The MDS DIGITISER Ref. 7460) is a device in the SKYLINE family, with the purpose of being able to configure
both MDS CITY and MDS DIRECT panels, since the device allows for both configurations.
It works in combination with both the keypad SKYLINE MODULES (Reference 7439) and buttons module (References
7371, 7372, 7376, 7367, 7368 and 7375), and even allows for both types of modules. Call extension modules are
not required.
The amplifier module to use for these types of panels is the 4+ n Amplifier Module Video Ref. 7406, for video door
entry systems, or the 4+n Amplifier modules Audio Ref. 7400 for door entry panels.
Both the MDS GENERAL ENTRANCE and INTERIOR BLOCK panels can be configured, and can be combined
with VDS panels to configure systems with the MDS GENERAL ENTRANCE combined with VDS.
This module is also integrated in the MDS DIRECT panels with continuous profile, Ref. 7287 (vídeo) and Ref. 7286
(audio).
It implements a OneToOne front panel, that provides visual information to each of the operating status (calling,
conversation, door open and system busy).
1. Call indicator. Lights up after a call is made.
2. "In conversation" indicator. Lights while a call is in process.
3. "Open door" indicator. Indicates that the door is opening.
4. "System busy" indicator. Indicates that another panel is in
use.
5. Programming display. To help programming.
6. Acoustic volume indicators regulator

ASSEMBLY OPTIONS
*Calls to residences are made by pressing the corresponding call button.
* You can program the phones both sequentially and individually (or
MDS/VDS decoders) for the MDS installations with the VDS).
* You can inversely program the buttons,that is, assign a button to an
already programmed telephone.
*The general parameters may not be configured, even though you can
check the status of said configuration.
*The maximum number of modules to insert depends on the systems
limitation (9999 terminals for MDS installations).
* You can "reset buttons," that is, put all buttons to a default configuration
(with the code "0000"). This is useful if you do not know the current
programming status, and want to start from a known configuration.
*Calls to residences are made by pressing the corresponding telephone
number on the keypad.
* You can program all of the system's configuration parameters.
* You program the telephones and decoders and change the number of a
specific telephone individually.
* You can also open the door by entering a 4 digit code. Even though to
activate this code for the first time you need to access the back of the
panel. You can change it from the keypad itself (without dismounting the
wall panel). This function can be deactivated from the keypad itself. This
way to activate it again, you must access the back of the panel.
* You can restore the system to night mode, in which case you need to put
it in this mode and then it isn't available or accessible at the Central Guard
Unit.
* You can reset the system's configuration parameters to default. This is
useful if want to start from a known status.
Depending on the modules it is combined with (keypad, buttons or both), the Digitiser offers different features.

*Calls to residences are made by pressing the corresponding telephone
number on the keypad.
You can also make a call to one or more of the homes via the corresponding
button, if assigned to a residence, since you can also assign telephone
numbers to buttons.
This is useful, for example, if you want certain homes, offices or shops
to be able to receive calls directly (via the button), instead of dialling a
numeric code.
*Assigning a telephone number to a button is done on the keypad itself,
not needing to access the residence.
*Just like on the keypad only panels, you can program all of the system's
configuration parameters and you can also reset the parameters and
buttons.
This configuration is basically the same as the previous one (button module/modules "before" the keypad). The only
difference is aesthetic.

TECHNICAL FEATURES
The MDS Digitiser is an auxiliary device that allows you to configure a SKYLINE panel to be integrated in the MDS
DIGITAL installations or combinations of MDS DIRECT with MDS CITY or VDS.
The configuration of the mode in which it should function (GENERAL ENTRANCE or INTERIOR BLOCK), is done
via a simple programming after the system installation, keeping in mind the installation's characteristics, and in
which no tool or special equipment is required.
The following table specifies the limitations of each of the possible combinations:
The main technical characteristics of the MDS Digitiser are as follows:
*Programming via 2 buttons. With a digital display of 4 digits that help programming. This allows for the
programming of MDS DECODERS, MDS/VDS DECODERS when programming and changing already programmed
telephone numbers.
*Activation time of the lock release is programmable between 1 and 99 seconds, and indistinctly for the opening
from homes or from the button inside the entrance hall.
GENERAL ENTRANCES INTERIOR BLOCKS LIMITS
Observations:
* You can not configure the MDS DIGITAL combined with the Digitiser configured as GENERAL ENTRANCE,
since the management of the general entrances is done via the MDS Central Unit via the panel bus.
* "If the installations with MDS Digitiser that are not developments (only one block), the limit is 5 accesses and
9999 homes.

START-UP ROUTINE
The MDS Digitiser has a start-up routine that allows the installer to verify if the modules connection has been
properly made, otherwise, if there is a problem with the connections, and the information on the incorporated
firmware version.
After powering it, the front display shows the firmware version and then indicates the type of modules detected and
their order, that is, the first information indicates what type of module is connected directly to the Digitiser, and the
following information indicates the next one's or module's type.
If no module is detected (due to a failure or if not connected), this routine will continue to repeat, until one is detected.
The digitiser's front indicators blink and the display only indicates the firmware version and the "Err" (error).
The type or types of modules detected will determine the panel's operating mode (MDS DIRECT, MDS CITY or
mixed). The following diagram schematically represents this start-up routine:
RESTORING DEFAULT SETTINGS
You can reset the Digitiser's configuration to its default values. This is useful, for example, if you don't know the
mode it's configured in and want to start from a known value.
The default configuration values are as follows:
- Panel number: 01
- Block number: 00
- Lock-release activation time (when opened from the residence): 3 seconds.
. Lock-release activation time (when opened from the entrance hall's button): 6 seconds
- Conversation time. Max.: 60 seconds. Min: 16 seconds
- NIGHT MODE Panel.
This operation can only be performed on panels with the keypad module, or those provisionally connected to one.
The steps for restoring are to power the system and enter "A-7-0-8-BELL-9" on the keypad in less than 1 minute's
time.

The MDS systems that have some type of Central Guard Unit may function in DAY MODE: The calls from the street
panels to the homes are only received in the Guard unit, or in NIGHT MODE, the calls are received in the homes.
Changing from one mode to another is done from the Central Guard Unit.
Asystem may be configured in DAY MODE, and not be able to make the change to NIGHT MODE, since the Central
Guard Unit isn't available or accessible. In this situation, the calls are not received in the homes, but are forwarded
to the Central Guard Unit (even if the central is not physically connected).
From the panel with Digitiser you can restore the NIGHT MODE panel and then allow for calls to homes.
This operation is only done via the panels with keypad module, or provisionally connected to a module.
The procedure is the following:
- Press the "A" key
- Mark the sequence "3 - 1 - 4 - 1"
- Mark the sequence "0 -0 -0 -0" (twice).
This resetting can also be done via the programming. See the SYSTEM PROGRAMMING section.
RESTORING NIGHT MODE
OPENING THE DOOR WITH THE PIN
The panels with keypad module have the front entrance door open function via a general 4-digit PIN. Upon entering
this code via the keypad, you can open the door.
This code is programmed and active via the SYSTEM PROGRAMMING (see the corresponding section), even
though it can be changed later from the keypad itself. It can be deactivated as well. To activate and program again,
you need to do so via the SYSTEM PROGRAMMING, that is, accessing the front part of the panel.
The way to open the door via the PIN is as follows:
- Press the A key
- Mark the PIN code. The "door" icon on the digitiser's front OneToOne is lit.
The procedure for changing the code via the keypad is as follows:
