Commissioning video
WARNING! Danger to life due to electric shock
First install all the devices of the system completely. Then switch on the mains voltage.
►Install the devices of the system completely.
►Do not connect V1 and V2 with the P-, a- or b-wire. Observe the polarity when connecting the video wires V1 (+)
and V2 (−).
►Proof the a-, b- and P-wire against each other on short-circuit.
►Switch on the mains voltage.

12
Extended code lock function
You can only use the extended code lock function for the first code (memory location). The function can be
set with the configuration software configoTM.
You can connect a time switch (alternatively: motion detector, brightness sensor, door contact of a lock etc.) to the
bipolar pluggable screw terminal (contacts 1 and 2, see
Device overview ). The switching input at the terminals 1 and
2 can be configured (opening/closing contact) and influences the effectiveness of the code on the first memory loca-
tion.
The additional device effects the code entry.
Example: In combination with a time switch access is only granted / not granted in the determined period of time,
depending on the configuration.
The programmed action is executed, if the code is entered correctly and the contact, according to the configuration
of the switching input, is effective.

Bell button programming
Basic principle
All devices at the TCS:BUS have an unique serial number.
The serial number of the indoor station is allocated to the bell button of the front-door station. The allocation is
stored in the EEPROM of the front-door station.
Requirements for the programming:
►Ensure that the access to the indoor station in the flat is granted.
►Check if the indoor station is connected to the TCS:BUS.
►Switch on the mains voltage. The operating LED at the power supply and control unit is on.
►Check if no programming lock is set.
Before you can reprogram an already programmed bell button, you have to delete the programming.
