Assembly of modules
The IP-Fermax doorphone is a modular system, it includes an advanced
technology, timeless design. It is easy for installation and operation.
The IP-Fermax doorphone is equipped with two switches or it can control two
remote IP switches via http commands. It can be PoE powered. You can
choose a version with or without a colour camera. The entire system can be
expanded to a maximum of 200 push buttons. It can also be expanded by a
keypad.
The IP-Fermax 1CP201IP doorphone has two push buttons and a colour
camera. The IP-Fermax 1AP201IP doorphone has two push buttons, it is an
audio version without a camera The IP-Fermax Skyline version is a modular
system. The basic IP-Fermax Skyline video module 7421IP contains the main
VoIP board, switches, PoE, ETH port and a colour camera. The basic IP-
Fermax Skyline audio module 7415IP contains the main VoIP board, switches,
PoE, ETH port, it is without a camera.
The Fermax Skyline expanding push button modules and a numeric keypad
are the Fermax VDS / BUS2 modules. The Fermax Skyline expansion modules
are connected with the 6-core Fermax cable, which is always a part of each
Fermax Skyline expansion module.
The Fermax keypad is automatically detected in the system, it does not need to
be programmed. Also it does not matter where the Fermax keypad is
connected.
The Fermax Skyline VDS / BUS2 push button modules are connected in an
independent order of the numbering of the push buttons. The Fermax Skyline
push buttons numbering is programmed in the usual Fermax way –by pressing
the push buttons in the order from the first to the last (see more details further
in the text).

Push button modules and keypad
The Fermax Skyline expanding push button
modules and a numeric keypad are the Fermax
Skyline VDS / BUS2 modules. The Fermax
Skyline expansion modules are connected with
the 6-core Fermax cable, which is always a part
of each Fermax Skyline expansion module.
The Fermax keypad is automatically detected in
the system, it does not need to be programmed.
Also it does not matter where the Fermax keypad
is connected.
The Fermax Skyline VDS / BUS2 push button
modules are connected in an independent order
of the numbering of the push buttons. The
Fermax Skyline push buttons numbering is
programmed in the usual Fermax way –by
pressing the push buttons in the order from the
first to the last (see more below).
The principle of the connecting the expanding
modules (C) is shown in the figure.
Direction A - (input) is the cable leading to the basic (voice) module.
Direction B - (output) is the direction to the last module on the bus.
The position and the order of the expanding modules does not affect the
numbering of the push buttons. This is done in the programming sequence (so
called „push buttons mapping“) when everything is connected.
Numeric keypad
The numeric keypad is the original Fermax Skyline VDS/BUS2 module. It
is connected with the 6-core Fermax cable, which is always a part of each
Fermax Skyline expansion module.
The Fermax keypad is automatically detected in the system, it does not need to
be programmed. Also it does not matter where the Fermax keypad is connected.
Its presence in the system can be verified on the main
Status page in the programming web interface of the
doorphone. The keypad is detected with the first restart
after the keypad´s connection.
The selection is entered by consecutive pressing of the
number buttons, the key B (or the Bell sign according
to the type of keypad) must be pressed first to enter
the password. To hang up the call (to teminate the call),
press the key A and the doorphone will hang up at any
time. When entering an IP address for P2P direct dialling, use the key B as the
dot (.) in the IP address.

Mounting of IP Fermax
Mounting on the wall
For surface mounting on the wall use the original
Fermax Cityline or Fermax Skyline series of mounting boxes.
Mounting is done by screwing on the wall, for example with
anchors. As an example, the figure shows a surface
mounting box for 1 module. Mount the surface box at the
correct height of 1,7m above the floor/ground.
Mounting into the wall
For flush mounting into the wall use the original Fermax Cityline or Fermax
Skyline series of mounting boxes.
1. Prepare the flush mounting box
2. Principe of connecting flush mounting
boxes next to each other. Use the original
Fermax joining bolts (ref. 8829) to connect
the flush mounting boxes.
3. Mount the flush box at the
correct height of 1,7m above the
floor/ground.

Connection of IP-Fermax
The IP-Fermax contains the main board, optionally a camera board in
video version. The main board always comes with two push buttons on the
board. In the versions 1CP201IP and 1AP201IP both push buttons are used. The
modular Fermax Skyline series does not use any of these push buttons on the
main board. Only the Fermax Skyline expansion push button modules are used
in this case. Number of push buttons depends on the programming (consecutive
pressing of all push buttons in the selected order, more details are explained
later on). Up to 200 Fermax Skyline VDS/BUS2 push buttons and a Fermax
VDS/BUS2 numerical keypad can be connected to the main board. The main
board is equipped with two inputs (two door sensors or two exit buttons) and two
switches (relays). By using two programmable virtual relays you can control two
remote relays via http commands.
IP-Fermax main board
The main board is the same for all models of the IP-Fermax doorphone
and it differs only if the camera module is connected or not. There is always a
PoE module (according to the norm IEEE802.3af), connector for connecting
expansion modules, LED name card illumination, MicroSD card reader slot and
two switches (relays).
All functional and connected elements are marked with a number in a
red circle.
1. CPU board (processor module)
2. LED green –powering of the doorphone is alright
3. LED for checking network activity, green = connection of 100M LAN, yellow
= data transfer on LAN
4. Slot for MicroSD card –insert the card before switching on the doorphone
and do not pull it out during the entire operation of the doorphone!
5. DIP switch
1–always on (used for factory service only)
2 –off, when it is „on“during the start, then a default
IP address 192.168.1.250 and a default style are
set. Name is admin and password is 1234. To show a video
stream, name is video and password 1234 (if required). The
operational position is off.
6. Connection of the UTP cable (Ethernet, LAN, network)
7. Two switches (the middle clamp is common for both switches) for door
sensors or exit buttons (programmable)
8. Connection of cable from expansion modules –6-wire Fermax cable
9. Terminal block of the switching contact of the first relay (NC= normally
closed, NO= normally open and COM= common, middle clamp/pin)
10. Terminal block of the switching contact of the second relay (NO= normally
open and COM=comman, middle clamp/pin)

Camera (22)
On the figure below and the previous figure above (22) –detailed description
(valid for camera models only):
22a Two-colour LED for status indication. Red=establishing a call, Green=active
call, Orange=a switch is switched on (you need to set acoustic signalling of
the switch)
22b White LEDs for illumination of the space in front of the camera
22c Sensor of ambient surrounding illumination for controlling of name cards
illumination and camera illumination
22d Objective of the camera. View angle is 120°, max. resolution 640x480.
Replacement of name cards
The name cards are removed from the front of the doorphone as shown
on the figure below. Be careful when opening the front plastic cover to avoid
damaging or scratching the front panel or the plastic cover of name cards. The
name card cover is actually a tray where the label paper must be loaded.

18
Power supply - clamp (10)
12V power supply can be direct (DC) or alternating (AC), it is
inpependent on polarity, from 12V the max. consumption is 300mA.
The power supply can be used also for powering the elecrical lock, then
we recommend to use 12V/1A.
You can also use a 24V direct current (DC) power supply. Usually it
is used at instllations where there is a power supply already, for example at
attendance systems or at sliding gates. You must not use an alternating current
(AC) power supply, you can use a direct current (DC) power supply only. It is
inpependent on polarity.
Micro SD card (4)
The microSD card is used for savig user audio files. In the future it will be
used for storing images, videos and audio files. Then the MicroSD card will be
used as a recorder.
If use choose a user audio tone and the card is not inserted in the
doorphone, then only the audio tones of the basic signalling will be used.
Do not eject the SD card during operation of the doorphone!

Connection of switches
Examples of switches connection is shown on the next page. There are just
a few basic examples, but it gives you a good guidance how to connect individual
circuits (red circle = example number).
1. Basic wiring - 2 electric locks and the possibility of controlling two doors
independently (switches 1 and 2 are monostable) this scheme also applies
to the gradual opening of the door. This connection is the most common, one
common source powers the IP-Fermax doorphone and two electric locks.
The current load of the power supply depends especially on the electric locks
used. The standard lock has a current consumption of 0.6A - 1.0A, and it is
also necessary to consider whether it is possible to switch on both switches
of the electric locks simultaneously. If not, choose a 2A power supply source
instead. If you use low consumption electrical locks, then 1A power supply
source is fully compliant.
2. Two sources - the possibility to use independently two power supplies, one
for the IP-Fermax doorphone and the other for electric locks. The electric
lock 2 is inversely connected (fire escape door).
3. Combination of doors with electric lock and gates in fencing.
4. Extending the previous example to two doors with a gradual opening (this
function is set in TimeRelay - external module)
5. Combination of electric lock and auxiliary bell. The auxiliary bell switch can
be in the switching mode of the call (responds to all push buttons) or
switching the switch from the selected push button, then the switch responds
to only one selected push button.
6. Switching lighting (eg road to the building) by switch 1 (setting the switch
from call to switch). Switch 2 - heating control according to the weekly
schedule - the time profile table synchronizes the selected switch. Attention!
A contactor must be used (the IP-Fermax doorphone must not switch
230V!).
The examples in the figures below are principal examples only.
