– ® except for the button backlight and electric lock, if connected. Nevertheless, 2N Helios Uni can work without these circuits too and sends an acoustic signal on having been connected to a line (or after having been disconnected from the line for a defined period of time).
Caution If the lock power supply fails and the telephone system carries on working, the intercom is unaware of the failure the switch will be password-activated and the activation is acoustically signalled, but the electric lock will not work because of the lack of power. Ground connection is mandatory.
Tag Printing ® Every Helios Uni delivery includes a sheet of translucent foil, which can be laser-printed. Cut the printed foil and insert the tags in the name plates. Every name plate includes a piece of foil, which can be written over manually, using a waterproof permanent marker, if necessary.

3.1 Programming ll the intercom parameters, including the keypad ones, are set remotely using any tone- dialling telephone set (or a mobile phone). First call the intercom and enter the programming mode. The access to this mode is service password protected. A voice menu is available in the programming mode and so you need not use this manual to program standard parameters.
contents (excluding passwords). Now you can enter new data – of variable meaning and length depending on the parameter selected (refer to the Full Parameter Chart). Finally, press again for confirmation. The intercom confirms the data saving. Repeat this procedure for each parameter. Switch Password Programming Each switch can be controlled with up to 10 different passwords that are listed in the intercom memory.
If you do not press any button within a predefined timeout, the intercom sends a hang-up signal and hangs up. The timeout is 5 seconds; every character is followed by 30 seconds for you to think over your setting. The 5-second limit starts when the intercom has read all that relates to the current user position in the programming menu.
If You Forget the Service Password If you forget the service password, contact the manufacturer. The manufacturer can change your service password to 12345 remotely without altering any other parameter. Keyboard letters facilitate password remembering. For example, it is easier to remember a 9-letter word (e.g. crocodile) than a 9-digit number (276263453) CIE-Group Ltd, www.cie-group.com 30 / 63...

Notes Terminology: For the purpose hereof, parameter means a value that is stored in the intercom memory and can be re-programmed. Function a means of execution of another service such as initialisation, software version identification and so on. 1) Types 3 and 4 of Automatic Dialling without Confirmation differ from each other in how they process very short calls (a few seconds).
Page 39
Example: The busy tone in the figure above is considerably longer than the pause time. Therefore, set parameter according to the pause, to 200 ms, e.g., and parameter according to the tone, to 600 ms, for example. In this case, however, the default values can be maintained for both the parameters.
3.3 Function Description From External User's View (Visitor) Like normal doorbells, intercom buttons are provided with labels. The visitor finds the appropriate button (e.g. Mr. Smith) and presses it. This activates the intercom, which then dials the number pre-programmed for that button, The visitor can then hear the ringing tone from the loudspeaker and the required (Mr.
From Internal User's View (Survey of Functions) Calling to 2N ® Helios Uni You call the appropriate extension and the intercom makes the call and gives a confirmation tone after two rings (or as pre-programmed). Now you can speak and control the switch, program the intercom (see later), and listen to what is going on outside and speak to the calling party if desired.
Programming The access to this mode is password-protected. For details refer to the Programming section. The voice menu helps you considerably with programming the intercom. Having entered the programming mode, you can also alter any parameter and memory settings. Caution The above mentioned functions (except for calls to the intercom) require a tone-dialling...

3.4 Section for Advanced Users Automatic Multiple Number Dialling When you press an intercom button, you may find out that the called line is busy or the called party is absent. The intercom is able to identify these situations and solve them by Automatic Multiple Number Dialling if one of three automatic dialling modes is enabled.
Situation Intercom Action Ringing tone, which is terminated Regarded as a successful call, continues for the before 10 rings are made (the count maximum timeout (maximum call duration). For details of rings is variable) refer to the text under the table. Ringing tone, 10 rings are made (the Hangs up and dials the next number.
Evaluation of Situations in Audible Automatic Dialling with Confirmation Situation Intercom Action Busy tone Hangs up in approximately 2 seconds and dials the next number. Call or silence Waits for the preset timeout (log-in time), then hangs up and dials the next number.
Otherwise, the function is the same as with Automatic Multiple Number Dialling with Confirmation. 2N ® Helios Uni Identification There are situations in which the calling person does not want to or cannot speak for security reasons in the automatic dialling mode. In these cases, the intercom can play back a message stored in its memory.

DTMF FUNCTION Character Call termination These digits are interpreted as a password beginning – for switch control. Notes These commands do not work in the Automatic Multiple Number Dialling mode without Confirmation! The above-mentioned commands may not be accepted due to poor connection if sent during a message.

How does switching work? Every button has memories for 6 numbers (intended primarily for Automatic Multiple Number Dialling). If the Automatic Multiple Number Dialling mode is , memory is used for the Day mode and memory for the Night mode. This is a simple two-number switching.
3.5 Maintenance Cleaning If used frequently, the intercom gets dirty. To clean it, use a piece of soft cloth moistened with clean water. We recommend you to obey the following principles while cleaning: Never use aggressive detergents (such as abrasives or strong disinfectants). Alcohol-based cleaners may be applied.
