Thismanual contains the information required to install
and program the TRIGON Minipak. If you are using
this manual to install this unit, it is very important to
read all the sections in order.
You should read these instructions before you begin
installation. This will insure that everything is done
efficiently.
Hookup Specifications
If you are using this manual as a programming guide
after the initial installation, you may find the TABLE
OF CONTENTS useful in locating the particular
programming procedure you need.
TheTrigon Minipak is a multi-numberTelephone Entry
System for resident/visitor control. Visitors contact the
desired tenant by entering a simple directory code. The
resident then grants or denies access.
The Minipak has a capacity of up to 400* telephone
numbers and up to 400* personal entry codes, and is
PBX compatible. It is constructed for rugged outdoor
use. Its long-lasting brushed-finish stainless steel
housing complements its thin design lines.
*Note: The maximum number of names that can be
displayed on the built-in directory is 52. Any larger
capacity will require an additional directory,

MOUNTINGMOUNTING
MOUNTINGMOUNTING
MOUNTING
Arrangements must be made for the installation of a
standard voice-grade telephone line (touch-tone or
rotary, telco or PBX Port), as close to the unit mounting
location as possible. The telephone company may
require the following information.
FCC Registration No..................1Z8898-62546-DI-T
Ringer Equivalence..............................................0.8B
Connector............................................Terminal Block
When selecting a mounting location,
Trigon recommends some shelter be provided from
direct rain and sunlight. An overhang is usually
sufficient. If a heater element is installed, be sure to use
abi-metal thermal switchto prevent over-heating during
the summer months. Pull the wiring through the access
hole in the lower portion of the back plate (Fig. 2). Bolt
the plate to the surface through the four .312" mounting
holes provided.At this time, the wiring should NOT be
energized.
Note: If used in extreme weather, a bead of
silicon sealant should be run around the outside top
two thirds of the unit, after the front case is
secured. (Fig. 2b).
WIRINGWIRING
WIRINGWIRING
WIRING
1.Use the wiring diagram on pg. 5 for wire connection
information.
2.Do not energize wires until installation is completed.
3. Do not power any other device from the Trigon’s
12 VAC transformer. If a substitute transformer is
used, be sure it is rated 12 VAC, 20VA, UL Class 2
listed. The 12 VAC input power wires should be
18AWG, 600V, insulated wire. This should be
sufficient for distances up to 200 feet.
4. Ground the unit by attaching a separate 12 AWG
ground wire to the ground location on the terminal
block. This ground wire should go to a grounding
rod or grounded metal conduit.
5. Trigon recommends that an EMI filter (Cornell-
Dubilier ModelAPF 1021 or equivalent) be mounted
between the 12 VAC transformer output and the unit.
EMI/RFI filters are available from Trigon. Mount
the filter as close to the unit as possible. Ground the
filter to the same point as unit ground.
6. Shielded cable is recommended for both the power
and telephone cabling. Ground the cable's shield to
the same point as the unit and filter. To avoid ground
loops, do not ground the shield at both ends. Use
600V insulated wire for this installation.
7. Isolate the phoneline from 12 VAC power wires.
This will prevent 60 Hz hum from occurring on the
phoneline. Use 22 AWG wire on Telco line run
distances of up to 2400 feet. Consult the factory for
distances greater than 2400 feet.
8.Primary Relay is a dry contact, Form C type, rated
for 5 AMPS @ 30 VDC/ 250VAC.
9. The Shunt relay is a low-power (4 watt) reed relay.
It can be used for temporary alarm switch bypass,
video camera activation, etc. The Shunt relay
activates with the output relay, and deactivates thirty
seconds after relay release.
10.(OPTIONAL) Connect printer wiring to the RS-
232 port (Printer IN to RS-232 OUT, Printer BUSY
to RS-232 DSR, Printer COM to RS-232 COM).
11. If all wiring and grounding is completed, mount the
faceplate onto the backbox.
12. Apply power to the unit.
