USER MANUAL ADVF10 ME

2JAHRESBESCHRANKETGARANTIE

Thank you for purchasing the wireless indoor station ADV-F10, which can be used to extend an existing VISTADOOR or VISTUS intercom system by up to three wirelessly connected indoor stations. This makes it possible to install indoor stations in places in the house where a direct cable connection to the outdoor station is impossible or too complicated.

Please read these instructions carefully in order to avoid installation errors.

NOTE: In systems with several parties, one ADV-F10 is required for each party. The DECT power box is connected to the system in the same way as a 'normal' indoor station.

INSTALLATION

NOTE: When expanding a VISTADOOR system please disconnect it from mains before connecting the DECT power box with the system.

The DECT power box is only suitable for indoor use.

It should be installed as centrally as possible in the house in order to guarantee optimum wireless connections in the entire house. The DECT power box should not be installed on or close to metal (surfaces) as this can drastically limit the range. The antenna can be connected to the DECT power box with the separately available antenna extension to position the antenna optimally and thus align it optimally. The DECT power box has two connections each for GND, +15V and audio. These are connected in parallel. The power box is connected to the outdoor station with three wires (also see connection plan).

IMPORTANT/NOTE: Before installing the DECT power box and the indoor station in a fixed position, you should operate them provisionally at their assembly location to ensure that the range is sufficient.

Once you have found the optimum location in your house, you will need 3 wires from there to your outdoor station (audio, +15V and GND).

DECT power box

The DECT power box can be hung either with a screw (like a picture, for example) or fixed at the location using four installation holes in the corners.

The wires should be fed out of the wall in the lower quarter of the DECT power box. Any existing flush-mounted box can be completely covered by the DECT power box but no provision is made to attach the product to this box.

ENGLISH ADV-F10

1. The DECT power box must be opened before installation. No tools are required as the casing is only clicked together. Simple press the tab on the bottom inwards slightly and then lift the casing lid off the box as shown in figure A1.
2. Hold the back section with one hand and mark the holes with a suitable pen.
3. Lay the back section to one side and drill the holes with a 6 mm drill.
4. Insert the included dowels into the holes and screw the back section on.
5. Connect the antenna to the power box. It has a screw connection for this purpose.

NOTE: To optimize the range, you can place the antenna at a different location using a separately available antenna extension.

DECT indoor station

The DECT indoor station is installed in fixed position using four installation holes in the corners. The power supply is fed into the casing from behind. Ensure correct polarity when connecting the power supply.

1. The DECI indoor station must be opened before installation. As this casing is also only clicked together, no tools are necessary here either. Simply press the tab on the bottom inwards slightly and then lift the casing lid off the box as shown in figure B1. Take care not to rip off the wires for the loudspeaker and the microphone.
2. A drilling template is included to drill the corresponding holes to attach the DECT indoor station. Then, align this at the installation location, using a spirit level if necessary, and stick it to the wall with tape.
3. Drill the holes with a 6mm drill.
4. Insert the included dowels into the holes and screw the back section on.

Ensure that you feed the cable for the power supply to the DECT indoor station into the casing beforehand.

OPERATION

You can connect the power once all components have been installed, first at the outdoor station and the DECT power box and then at the DECT indoor station.

The red power LED (4a) should then light up on the DECT power box. On the DECT indoor station, the status LED (20) should first flash alternately red/blue and then light permanently after a short time. The system is then ready for operation and the bell can be activated at the outdoor station.

Procedure

1. Press the bell button on the outdoor station
2. The blue LED (4b) on the DECT power box flashes and the indoor station(s) play(s) the set ring melody.
3. Within 60 seconds, the press to talk button (17) can be pressed and a conversation held with the visitor. All other indoor stations immediately stop ringing.
4. Any door opener that is connected to the outdoor station can be activated during the conversation by pressing the door opener button (19).
5. To end the conversation, press the press to talk button once (17).

Note: after approximately 60 seconds, the DECT indoor station automatically switches back to standby mode.

Set the ring melody

To hear the programmed ring tone, you can simply ring from the outdoor station.

1. Press the button (10) to hear the next ring tone.
2. Once the tone that you wish to use is played, wait 10 seconds. The ring tone is then programmed.

Set the volume of the ring melody

1. Open the indoor station by pressing the bottom tab on the casing a little and pull the front casing forwards, as shown in the illustration.
2. The volume of the ring tone is set using the potentiometer (8) on the circuit board. Turn it in a clockwise direction to increase the volume and in an anti-clockwise direction to reduce the volume.

NOTE: Ensure that you do not overwind the potentiometer. It can only be turned by approx. 320^ .

Deactivating the ring tone

Use the button (16) below the loudspeaker to set the ring melody to silent, for example, so that you are not disturbed during your lunch break. The LED under the button (21) lights up red if the ring melody is deactivated.

Set the conversation volume on the indoor station

The potentiometer (9) on the side can be used to set the conversation volume to any level. Turn the wheel upwards to increase the volume and downwards to reduce it.

Alarm button

If the alarm button (11) is pressed during a conversation with the outdoor station, then an alarm will sound at the outdoor station.

This button is without function if there is no connection to the outdoor station.

Pairing / Training additional receivers

The included indoor station is already connected to the DECT power box, so it is normally not necessary to carry out these steps.

A total of 3 indoor units can be programmed to one DECT power box. Follow these steps for each indoor station in turn.

1. Hold the pairing button (18) on the DECT power box down for approx. 5 seconds until the blue LED flashes.
2. Hold the pairing button (18) on the DECT indoor station for approx. 5 seconds and then release it.
3. The indoor unit has now been programmed.
