Frequently Asked Questions - ELVOX 170F Vimar

How to program output 1 of the ELVOX 170F relay?

To program output 1, press RES and P2 simultaneously, release RES while holding P2 until LED S1 lights up. Release P2. Then, send the command or activation number from a Digibus device (door panel, intercom) or a programmer. A short blink confirms reception. To set the activation time, wait the desired number of seconds and press P1 to confirm.

What does the mutual exclusion mode mean?

The mutual exclusion mode allows only one output to be activated at a time. If a valid command is received, the active output disables and the new output activates. Door panel calls and the reset command deactivate the active output. This mode is activated via a specific procedure with the RES and P1 buttons.

How to set the activation time of an output?

After programming the output code (see question 1), the device waits for the activation duration. You can enter the value in seconds (1 to 9999) from a numeric keypad or interrupt the self-learning by pressing P1. The time corresponds to the delay between the confirmation blink and pressing P1.

How to connect the device to a PC for configuration?

Use the serial interface 6952 or USB 6952/A. Connect the TX terminal of the interface to terminal 6 of the 170F, GND to terminal 4. Install the PC Digibus Analyzer software (downloadable from the Elvox website). Select the COM port and baud rate 1200, then click on 'Configura Principali Parametri' to read/modify parameters.

What to do if the LEDs do not light up during programming?

Check the power supply: voltage must be +12 V DC on terminal 5 (ground terminal 4). Ensure connections are correct and Dip Switches are properly positioned. If the problem persists, disconnect the power, wait a few seconds and reconnect. If the LEDs remain off, contact a technical support center.

How to reset the device?

To reset the device during programming, cut power or press the RES button. To erase all programming, perform a complete programming procedure restarting default settings (see manual). For a hardware reset, disconnect power for a few seconds.

What are the Dip Switch settings for ON/OFF mode?

For ON/OFF mode (state toggle with each command), the Dip Switches must be set as follows: DIP1 to OFF, DIP2 to OFF, DIP3 to OFF, DIP4 to ON (see table 1 of the manual). Activation time has no effect in this mode.

How to program a user window (initial and final)?

Put the device into programming mode and light up the 4 LEDs (S1, S2, A, B) following the procedure. First send the initial user number from a numeric keypad, wait for the blink, then send the final user number. The LEDs go out to confirm end of programming. Outputs will only activate for commands whose number is within this range.

What is the power supply voltage of the ELVOX 170F?

The power supply must be a DC voltage of +12 V DC (terminal 5) relative to ground (terminal 4). The device is designed to be powered by a suitable transformer (e.g., Art. 832/030). Ensure the power source is stable and complies with standards.

Where to find the complete user manual?

Operation description:

- COMMAND ONLY

Activation following reception of a specific command. The programmed output activates for the set time whenever this specific command is received, regardless of the associated number (e.g. when the "lock" key is pressed on any interphone in the system).
- NUMBER AND COMMAND

Activation for a set time only after reception of a number and relative command (e.g. call from entrance panel to interphone 1234 or when key F1 is pressed on interphone 87654321)

• SHUTDOWN WITH RESET
  Shutdown of all outputs each time the device receives a RESET signal, even if the activation time (which remains valid) has not elapsed.
• WINDOW ACTIVATION

Activation for set time after reception of a command with a number inside the window INITIAL USER - END USER programmed accordingly

- ON /OFF OPERATION

The output changes status (if on sets to off and vice versa) on reception of the memorised code. The activation time is irrelevant.

Programming Procedure

any loads connected to the outputs should be disconnected before programming to avoid inadvertent activations.

After entering programming mode, the device remains until correct completion of the procedure. Otherwise the power supply must be disconnected or press RES to exit.

1. Press keys RES and P2 at the same time
2. Release key RES keeping key P2 pressed until led S1 illuminates.
3. Subsequent activation of key P2 illuminates in sequence the leds S2, A, B and so on, to enable selection of the output and/or parameter to be programmed as described in Table 3. Each time P2 is pressed, there is approx. 5 seconds in which to modify the selection as required.

Parameter to program Leds lit
Code and Time of activation of Output 1	S1
Code and Time of activation of Output 2	S2
Code and Time of activation of Output 3	A
Code and Time of activation of Output 4	B
Initial User and Final User S1, S2, A, B
Device Number S1, S2

Table 3. Illumination of leds in programming mode

1. A brief flash of the led/s indicates that the selection has been made

Follow one of the procedures below on the basis of the type of programming selected:

5a Programming of output code and activation time:

a. At this point the command and/or activation number must be sent to the device 170F via a digibus device (pane or interphone) or programmer 950B or device in the digital intercommunication series (6221, 6935/A) or suitable PC software.
b. A brief flash indicates that the code has been received correctly and that it is on standby for the activation time setting.
c. The time (from 1 to 9999 in seconds) can be entered via the devices described above or by interrupting the self-learning process by pressing key P1. In fact from the time the flashing starts as described in point B, 170F starts to count the seconds of activation to be programmed until the key P1 is pressed.

5b Programming Initial User and Final User:

a. Enter the number of the initial user via the numerical keypad and send it to the device.
b. A brief flash confirms reception
c. Enter the number of the final user via the numerical keypad and send it to the device..
d. The leds switch off on completion of programming

5c Device Number Programming:

a. Enter the number via the numerical keypad and send it to the device.
b. The leds switch off on completion of programming

Example 1: Activation of output 3 of 170F for 5 seconds after delivery of a command LOCK from an interphone of a DIGIBUS system within the interval 4000 - 6000 of Initial User and Final User.

Set the Dip-Switches as specified in Table 1, item "Window activation"

First of all the limits of the Initial User and Final User on the 170F must be programmed. Then follow the programming procedure illuminating all 4 leds and entering the number 4000 on the numerical keypad of a panel and then, after the leds flash, enter the number 6000. Alternatively the programmer 950B or PC could be used or the user could press the keys on a panel with single keys previously programmed with the software numbers 4000 and 6000.

To enable delivery of the Lock command from a digibus interphone, the latter must be active, after which any other interphone in the system can be called. If the programmer or PC is used this operation is not necessary.

At this point set output 3 to programming mode illuminating led A, press the Lock key of the interphone (or send the command) and then set the activation time by pressing the key P1 5 seconds after the start of flashing or by sending the number 5 from a panel or the programmer or also from the interphone number 5 of the system. Led A turns off to indicate the end of the programming procedure.

Example 2: Activation of output 4 of 170F in ON/OFF mode after reception of the command STAIR LIGHT sent by interphone type 6221 number 4578.

Set the Dip-Switches DIP1 to ON ; DIP2 to OFF ; DIP3 to OFF ; DIP4 to ON

At this point set output 4 to programming mode illuminating led B only. After the flash press the stair light key on the interphone type 6221 number 4578. In this case the activation time is irrelevant but the device remains on standby to receive the number of activation seconds. Then press P1 on 170F or make a call from the entrance panel or press a function key on an interphone. Led B turns off to indicate the end of the programming procedure. Each time the "Stair light" key is pressed on interphone number 4578 output 4 changes status (if deactivated it activates and vice versa)

In this mode only one output is activated at a time. When a valid command is sent (one of the memorised commands), the output active at the time is deactivated and the new one is activated. The panel call command (with or without camera, following audio or video self-start) together with the reset command, deactivate any enabled output. After an entrance panel call, no memorised command can activate any of the outputs until a reset command is sent. The only exception is the reception of a valid command with the same number as the last call made from the entrance panel.

To activate this operating mode, see the next paragraph

OPERATING MODE CHANGE PROCEDURE:

Any loads connected to the outputs should be disconnected before programming to avoid inadvertent activations.

This procedure enables the user to change from the Basic operating mode to Mutually Exclusive mode and vice versa.

. Press RES and the key P1 at the same time.
. Release the RES key while keeping key P1 pressed
. Press and hold P1 for at least 10 seconds until leds S2 and A illuminate.
. On release of key P1 the four leds start to flash in pairs (S1 with B and S2 with A).
. To change the operating mode press P1 again and hold for approx. 3 seconds.

Correct programming is confirmed when during the 3-second interval that P1 is pressed only one pair of leds remains lit and at the end of the procedure all leds switch on briefly and then all turn off. If this procedure is not performed correctly all leds turn off immediately and the device continues to operate as normal.
