21. DIGITAL DOOR PANEL INSTALLATION
The Advent xt system can be upgraded to include a door entry facility with the addition of digital door panels and
telephone handsets. Visitors can call residents direct from the door panels with full duplex speech via door entry
telephones. The onsite Manager can be contacted via the DECT (or fixed CLI telephones) by pressing the door panel
"Manager" button ‐ this type of call will also operate in Local Offsite or Remote Offsite mode. In all modes of operation an
electric lock release can be activated to allow visitors access.
The "Trade" button can allow access during 3 programmable time periods each day and the "Code" button can be used
with a programmable 4 digit access code to allow access at any time (or during 3 programmable periods) each day.
The door entry mode can be set to allow calls to residents 24 hours a day or to automatically transfer all calls to the
Manager during the evening and night. In addition, if a resident is away their calls can be temporarily transferred to a
neighbour or the Manager.
DIGITAL DOOR PANELS
Up to 16 digital door panels (P/No. ZSD411) can be connected to the Advent xt controller. A local PSU is required at each
door to provide power for the electric lock release. A "press to exit" pushbutton and a door status contact can also be
connected locally into each door panel.
INSTALLATION
The standard backbox is designed for flush mounting ‐ a stainless steel surface cowling (P/No. HM1140) is available
separately. The fascia is fixed by 6 No. M5 x 12mm screws which require a 3mm Allen key.
A cut‐out 415mm high x 170mm wide x 70mm deep will allow the backbox to fit flush into the wall or door screen with the
bezel overlapping by approx 10mm on all sides.
A separate 6 pair cable should be installed between each door panel and the Advent xt controller (ie. not looped‐off the
system network). A separate 1.0mm pair should be used for lock power. The backbox and fascia must be bonded to the
fused spur Earth terminal with a minimum of 2.5 mm
IMPORTANT NOTE: the door panel requires a 12V DC supply ‐ NOT 24V DC.
FERRITE CORE
The door panel wiring must be looped through the
ferrite core inside the backbox.
This will suppress any voltage transients induced
on the wiring and greatly reduce the likelihood
of damage to the CPU.

cable in line with current IEE regulations.
The backbox should be orientated with the single
Earth stud in the top left hand corner.
Do not cut a hole in the top face of the backbox for
cable entry ‐ this may allow water to enter and
damage the electronic components or keypad.
Cable entry into the backbox should be through
any of the 20mm knockouts provided.
Important: the backbox and fascia must be connected
to the Mains Earth terminal using a minimum
2
of 2.5 mm
cable.
