MANUAL INTRODUCTION
The information in this manual is intended as an installation and commissioning guide for
the vandal resistant one button audio intercom kit. This manual should be read carefully
before the installation commences. Any damage caused to the equipment due to faulty
installations where the information in this manual has not been followed is not the
responsibility of Videx Security Ltd.

SYSTEM INTRODUCTION
This kit will enable a caller at an entrance point to signal an occupant in the dwelling by
pressing a call button which will buzz an audio telephone inside. A two way conversation
can take place once the telephone is answered and then if required, the occupant can
release an electric lock release by pressing a button on the telephone. The kit does not
include the electric lock release. A 12V AC release should be used with this kit. If this kit is
to be used with a gate or other type of lock release then a 506N (Non timed) or 506T
(Timed) relay will be required along with the appropriate PSU for the lock release.
SYSTEM COMPONENTS
This kit comprises of a flush vandal resistant door panel, audio telephone and PSU. The
door panel can be converted to surface by ordering the VR/SR1N surface back box. Up to
a maximum of three telephones can be used on the system to call in parallel.
DOOR PANEL
The vandal resistant door panel will consist of an amplifier module, button, vandal resistant
plate and back box.
Speech volume adjustments are carried out at the door panel using a small trimmer driver.

POWER SUPPLY
Art.520M
The power supply is the Art.520M. Outputs of 12Vdc (200mA), 8Vdc (300mA) and 13Vac
(1A) are available. The dc outputs are designed to power the amplifier modules only and
can not be used to power other devices such as lock releases etc. These items must be
connected to the AC output of this power supply.

Art.3021
BLOCK DIAGRAM
INSTALLATION
The wiring diagram towards the back of this manual should be followed carefully. Heavy
duty conductors on wiring diagrams are shown heavily outlined, These wires should be
doubled up.
- Check that all components are free from damage before installing (Do not proceed with
installation in the event of damage).
- Keep all packaging away from children.
- Do not obstruct the ventilation openings or slots on any of the devices.

- All connections to mains voltages must be made to the current national standards (IEE
Wiring regulations)
- Install an appropriate fused spur or isolation switch to isolate the mains.
- Isolate the mains before carrying out any maintenance work on the system.
- All intercom and access control cables must be routed separately from the mains.

When ever possible connection 1(Tx) should be twisted with connection 3(Gnd) and connection 2(Rx) should
be twisted with connection 3(Gnd) as pairs.
Maximum acceptable resistance for terminals 1,2 & 6 = 10Ωand for terminals 3 & 5 = 3Ω
Connections for power supply output to door panel and lock release connections. These
connections are shown heavily outlined on the wiring diagram.

Connections 0.5mm² 0.75mm²
The power supply should be located as close to the door panel as possible for best performance.
Maximum acceptable resistance for above cables = 3Ω
TESTING THE INSTALLATION
- Check all the connections have been made correctly and then power up the system.
- Call all the apartments in turn. Check for call to the apartment, speech in both
directions and lock release.
- If the volume of speech needs to be adjusted, this can be done by adjusting the presets
on the rear of the amplifier at the door panel.
PANEL CARE
The door panels are manufactured from either 12 Gauge 304 grade stainless steel or
mirror finished brass. It is important that the facia is cleaned on regular occasions to
prevent dirt build up and tarnishing of the metal. A general household metal polish can be
used but care should be taken to follow the grain of the metal when polishing and also
avoid any polish build up around the call button which may prevent the button from
operating correctly.
Lock release back EMF protection : A
capacitor should be fitted across the terminals on
an AC lock release as shown in the diagram
below to suppress back EMF voltages.

TROUBLE SHOOTING
AUDIO SYSTEMS
SYMPTOM TEST
No speech from the door panel to the
telephone.
Check terminal 2 on the amplifier for continuity to
terminal 2 on the telephone.
Before lifting the handset, check the voltage to
terminal 2 of the amplifier is 8-12Vdc. Trace this
voltage to terminal 2 to the telephone.
Check the voltage drops to approx. 1Vdc after the
handset is lifted. (If not try another telephone)
If all else fails try another amplifier at the door station
No speech from the telephone to the door
panel.
Check terminal 1 on the door panel amplifier for
continuity back to terminal 1 on the telephone.
Before lifting the handset, check the voltage to on
terminal 1 of the amplifier is 8-12Vdc. Trace this
voltage to terminal 1 to the telephone.
Check the voltage drops to approx. 4Vdc after the
handset is lifted. (If not try another telephone)
If all else fails try another amplifier at the door station
No speech in either direction Check the 315mA fuse in the power supply
Check for 8-12Vdc across terminals 3 & 4 on the
door panel amplifier. This should be there all the time
and comes directly from the PSU.
Lock will not operate from telephone Check terminal 5 on the telephone. This terminal
shorts to terminal 3 of the telephone when pressed
(Becomes 0V).
Nothing happens when any call button is
pressed
Check the common of the button has 13Vac present
at all times.
When a call button is pressed you should be able to
read 13Vac on terminals 3 & 6 of the telephone (6 of
the telephone comes direct from the call button). If
voltage is there then check/change the buzzer.
Hum on the speech lines Ensure all intercom cables do not run close to higher
voltage cables
Try another amplifier at the door panel.
