SWITCHBOARD Art. 945B AND Art. 955

To program interphone user numbers with the switchboard, proceed as follows:

-  

Set the switchboard on “INTERNO” (Internal) mode

-  

Lift the switchboard handset and press button 

 so that the indicator 

lamp in key 

 illuminates.

-  

Without replacing the handset on the switchboard, program the interphone 

or distributor.

Programming interphones with

internal coder Art. 6204 and 887B (887B/1)

1)    Briefly press the programming button on the interphone.
2)   Press then the door lock release button 

until the LED near the 

programming button illuminates.

3)  If the LED does not illuminate, repeat the above steps from point 1.

4)   Remove the handset from the unit and check the audio connection with the 

switchboard. 

5)   From the switchboard, key in the number with which you wish to program the 

internal unit and route the call by pressing button  

.

6)   Wait for the LED switching off on the interphone for the programming con-

firmation.

7)   Program the remaining internal units following the same procedure outlined 

above.

N.B

.:  

The audio line between the switchboard and interphone is only con-
nected when the led in key 

 illuminates. Consequently, if the LED 

is switched off, press button 

  again until it illuminates. The LED 

remains illuminated for the maximum conversation time set for the 

switchboard.

Programming digital distributors Art. 949B 

1)   Briefly press button PS1on the digital distributor.

2)   Press then button PS2 on the digital distributor until the first of four LEDs on 

the distributor illuminates.

4)   Remove the handset from the interphone connected to terminals A1 and A3 

of the digital distributor in question and check the audio connection with the 

switchboard. 

5)   From the switchboard, key in the number with which you wish to program the 

internal unit and route the call by pressing button  

.

6)   Wait for the LED switching off on the interphone for the programming con-

firmation.

7)   To program the remaining three interphones connected to the distributor in 

question, press button PS1 again and hold button PS2 pressed down until 

the corresponding LED illuminates on the distributor (second, third or fourth 

LED).

8)   The LEDS illuminate to indicate which internal unit is currently being pro-

grammed as illustrated in the table below, whereby:

LED 1 ¬ ® Terminals A1 and A3

LED 2 ¬ ® Terminals B1 and B3

LED 3 ¬ ® Terminals C1 and C3

LED 4 ¬ ® Terminals D1 and D3

9)   Program the remaining internal units following the same procedure outlined 

above

N.B

.:The audio line between the switchboard and interphone is only connected 

when the led in key 

 illuminates. Consequently, if the LED is switched off, 

press button 

 again until it illuminates. The LED remains illuminated for the 

maximum conversation time set for the switchboard.

INSTALLATION OPERATION

Standard power supplier Art. 6941 is fitted in DIGIBUS video door entry systems 

to power the interphones, digital distributors, entrance panels and switchboard. In 

some installations however, due to particularly long cable runs prone to excessive 

voltage drops or the number of internal units installed, the following additional 

power supply units may be installed: Art. 6942 which powers the entrance panels, 

switchboard, digital distributors and interphones, and Art. 6947 regenerates the 

call signal. For more information about the layout of power suppliers, refer to the 

corresponding installation wiring diagrams.

To call interphones from the entrance panel or switchboard, simply key in the user 

number on the entrance panel or switchboard keypad and press button “C” or  

 to route the call. To cancel the call, simply press button “R”. After the call 

button has been pressed, the entrance panel or switchboard transmit a digital 

code which connects the internal unit. The first entrance panel or switchboard 

connected to the interphone cable riser activates the call generator inside the 

power supplier for the set call time and routes the call signal to the cable riser. At 

the end of the call signal, the interphone phonic line connects to the external 

entrance panel or switchboard. 

The auxiliary functions may be activated irrespective of whether the internal unit 
is activated or not. However, the door lock release button  

will only re-

lease the entrance panel door lock if the internal unit is connected to the external 

entrance panel. 

Otherwise it will call the porter’s switchboard. Once the call has been routed 

to the internal unit, the two units will only remain connected for the reply delay 

time set for the entrance panel or switchboard. If the delay time elapses before 

the handset is lifted, the entrance panel or switchboard disconnects the internal 

unit. If instead the handset is lifted within the set reply time, the call is connected 

and the two units can communicate for the maximum conversation time. If the 

handset is replaced before the maximum conversation time has elapsed, the 

interphone is disconnected after about 5 seconds.

DESCRIPTION OF DIFFERENT INSTALLATIONS

A description follows of three DIGIBUS door entry systems which use power 

supplier Art. 6941.

If both auxiliary functions are required, terminals F1 and F2 on the entrance 

panel (or switchboard) must be connected to the corresponding terminals on the 

power supplier.

If both the auxiliary functions facility are required in installations fitted with inter-

phones Art. 6201, 8877, the corresponding connections must be made between 

the interphone and digital distributor Art. 949B. 

A)   Door entry system with one video entrance panel (see drawing si352 or 

si351).

B)   Door entry system for building complex (see drawing si354).

C)   Door entry system with one entrance panel and switchboard (see drawing 

si093).

A)   Video door entry system with one entrance panel (drawing SI 352 or 

SI351)

-   Key in the required user number, (i.e. 77) on the entrance panel keypad.

-   Confirm with button “C”.

-   TeL on the entrance panel activates.

-   The digital code corresponding to user number 77 is routed along line 1 to the 

interphone cable riser.

-   The phonic circuit for interphone number 77 connects to the cable riser.

-   Entrance panel terminal CH activates for the set call time and routes the call 

signal along line 3 of the cable riser.

-   The entrance panel phonic circuit connects at the end of the call time.

-   If the interphone handset is not lifted the entrance panel activates the reply 

time counter. 

-   If instead the interphone handset is lifted within the set reply time, the entrance 

panel activates the maximum conversation time counter. 

-   The two auxiliary functions and the door lock opening function may all be 

activated when the handset is lifted or set down. The two auxiliary functions 

may also be activated when the interphone has not been called.

-   When the door lock release button is pressed  

, the door lock release 

code corresponding to the interphone user number (77) is transmitted by the 

interphone to the cable riser. The entrance panel from where the call originates 

then identifies the code and activates terminal S for the set door lock activation 

time. Power supplier terminal S1 therefore de-energises to zero Volts for the 

time terminal S is activated.

-   When the F2 button is pressed, the code for auxiliary function corresponding to 

the interphone user number (77) is transmitted by the interphone to the cable 

riser. The entrance panel then identifies the code and activates terminal F2 for 

the activation time set for auxiliary function F2. 

-   When the F1 button is pressed, the code for auxiliary function corresponding to 

the interphone user number (77) is transmitted by the interphone to the cable 

riser. The entrance panel then identifies the code and activates terminal F1 for 

the activation time set for auxiliary function F1.

-   Once the reply delay time or maximum conversation time has elapsed, the en-

trance panel connected to the interphone transmits a reset code to disconnect 

the interphone.

-   The same sequence occurs if the interphone handset is replaced before the 

maximum conversation time has elapsed. Five seconds after the handset is 

replaced, the entrance panel transmits a reset code.

B)   Door entry system for building complex (drawing si354)

-   Key in the required user number, (i.e. 77) on the main entrance panel keypad.

-   Confirm with button “C”.

-   TeL on the main entrance panel activates.

-   The digital code corresponding to user number 77 is routed along line 1 to the 

cable riser.

-   The digital call code for user number 77 is recognised by all the secondary 

entrance panels. If the call number (77) keyed in falls between the first and 

final call number set for one of the secondary panels, the following sequence 

occurs:

-   The secondary panel in question switches to “ENGAGED-WAIT” mode.

-   The call code for user number 77 is regenerated and re-routed to the inter-

phone cable riser.

-   The phonic circuit for interphone number 77 connects to the cable riser.
