1.2 Terminology Telephone line Analogue (2 conductors) connecting to a public telephone network (public line) or to a local telephone system (local line). Line connection The start of a telephone connection (the same as picking up a phone handset). Line disconnection End of connection (the same as replacing a phone handset).
1.3 Brave SlimDP versions and differences The Brave door entry system is conceived as system that provides a final solution based on a modular design. The features and parameters that are available to, and can be set, differ for each version of the Brave. It is therefore necessary to set the parameters for all versions including any add-on parameters for each version.
2 Installation This compact unit is fixed by 2 screws to the wall. 2.1 Opening, wiring, wall mounting and settings 2.1.1 Name card panel 1. Every unit is supplied with a special key which is used to release the name cards on the front panel.
2.1.3 Wiring and wall mounting 5. Use the wall mounting template at the end of the manual to mark the position for the screw holes cable connection mounting surface. Drill the holes. 6. Feed cable (analogue line, power – supply, lock figure - 6) through the cable hole.

The wiring of relay contacts is explained in the next picture. The symbol "NO" means contact normally open, "COM" means sharing output (central) and "NC" means contact normally closed. The relay contact is isolated from the other circuits on the board. For the variants of lock connection see the picture below.

2.5 Connect the Keyboard Keyboard work as separate code lock, he has connection power supply 12V, input for departure button and one relay with change-over contact. In case connection by special cable keyboard with Doorphone characteristics those code lock expand and keyboard can be use not only to control relay in keyboard, but relay in doorphone Doorphone contol too and use so 10 codes for one and 10 codes for second relay.
2.6 Code relay (COSW) For the switch (relay) is available function code relay (COSW CodeSwitch). It serves primarily to secure transmission of information by switching the electric lock. When using this function is not possible connecting or disconnecting the voltage at the terminals to lock this lock activated. Activation is performed only when positive result compared serial information transmitted between Brave and the board code relay...

3 Door Entry System Operation The Brave SlimDP door entry system’s functions are set by establishing parameters (see the chapter on parameter programming page 23). 3.1 Signalling overview Brave SlimDP acoustic signals that occur during its operation. Samples of sounds can be listened to in the setting programme ‘BraveSet’. State Tones Tone frequency...

and presses the button. The Brave will pick up a line, "plays" the pick up line tone (if it is not prohibited para.62) and dials the phone number saved under that button (parameter 1 or 2 depending on system regime). From the Brave’s speaker a ringing tone will be heard and Mr Smith’s phone will ring.

sends a notice about the end of the call but choosing a code (parameter 42) it is possible to pro-long the call. By replacing the handset the call is terminated (the switchboard phone will send a system busy tone and the system will disconnect).
4 Parameter programming 4.1 Programming with the help of a phone 4.1.1 Entry into the programming There are two ways to enter the Brave’s programming system: 1. With the help of a password –incoming calls only! – pick up a phone and dial the number that the Brave is connected to (either the number of the branch, if you are connected to a switchboard line, or the number of the...
Note. If you want to keep a connection opened during the programming (prolong the 30 sec time) regime (i.e. before a customer decides what else he wants to be set) then you can press * or #, the Brave immediately answers with an error tone but will prolong the time before disconnecting.
5 Description of programmable parameters Parameters always start with a fixed/mandatory part (address) followed by a variable part, which is your choice. The range and explanation is always under the table, sometimes with examples. Everything is dialled exactly as it is shown in the table, nothing needs to be confirmed in any way, after writing into a memory a confirmation tone can be heard and if an incorrect value is input then an error tone will be heard.
Note. If you are not using regime Day/night or regime 2 groups of numbers, then it is recommended to set regime Day/Night (parameter 47) and then set the same code for switching over Day/Night (parameters 45 and 46). His way it is guaranteed that Brave will always be in Day regime and you can only programme telephone numbers for the day regime (parameter 1).

Parameter Value Meaning Basic relay r control during incoming call 11 21 (0/1) – relay number relay number [1 in SlimDP] p – parameter whether it is allowed p=1 or disallowed p=0 to control relay during incoming call. To prohibit ‘control’ during an incoming call, for use with relay 2 in mode 1 for controlling a garage door, so the electronics open the garage door and the car passing through the door, closes the door.

Parameter Value Meaning Basic Threshold for switching on the microphone 1-4 (4 is the highest) There is a simultaneous signal from the microphone and the speaker on the telephone line, to ensure that the Brave doesn’t produce acoustic feedback. In the Hands Free circuit there are several functioning blocks for supressing this feedback.
