Congratulation on purchasing the „BRAVE Steel Door Entry system‟, which is a continuation of the successful „New Universal Door Entry System‟ NUDV. The Brave Steel Door Entry System is a universal project with the title “BRAVE” with different designs bringing a wider spectrum of functions and possibilities.
Programmable with PC, via USB cable, and remote DTMF programming; Integrated regulated heating of the PCB; Switchable name tag lighting; Unit earthed for better protection against static electricity (C) – only full version (Comfort) BRAVE Steel – User and service manual...

The technology used allows you to upload to Brave the latest version of the firmware any time using a standard computer with BraveSet and USB cable. The latest version of the firmware is available at http://www.alphatech.cz...
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.

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 Brave is set in several codes to activate the relay code.
2.3.2 Power supply 12V A 12V/A alternative power supply is recommended for the Brave Steel. This is not a part of delivery and must be ordered separately. Further details power supplies and electric locks can be found at www.alphatech.cz...
Empty memory (no number is programmed) 1300-2100 It is useful to know what tones the Brave Steel plays during installation as it will assist in the analysis of its state and operation. The sounds can be turned off in several levels (parameters 61,62,63 and 65).
Visitor finds the appropriate name (for example Mr Smith) 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).
Option to choose 1 or 2 digits of code 2 digit code is basic and it is possible to shorten it by using * in the first place of code during programming BRAVE Steel – User and service manual...
Brave entry system (i.e. Mr Smith). 3.3.1 Outbound call An outbound call is a call from the Brave system (i.e. started by a visitor). Once the system has been dialled, a phone inside of the building rings and on pick up it is possible to talk to the visitor at the door.
The visitor enters a number combination and after a length of time, set by the max time between key presses (parameter 53), the Brave picks up and dials the given number. If 1 then the keyboard choses a 2 digit combination 01-99 as per the memory address, where a telephone number is saved.
We choose when the direction to the phone is interrupted. If parameter 73 greater than parameter 72, thus favored direction to the speaker. We choose this if the interrupted sound in the speaker of communicator. BRAVE Steel – User and service manual...
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.
Flash numbers. Pause Note. The Day/Night regime switch over remains set in the Brave even after a line disconnection, in version (C) this regime switches over according to actual time (if this function is on – parameter 084) Examples of setting: first button is supposed to dial 358 during the day and 0603441296 during the night, then the programming is - 101358 and wait for ♫, then 2010 *0 603441296 and wit...
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).

Suppression of background noise (0/1) This function is set to off as standard n=0. If the Brave is installed in noisy location (train station, busy street, car park etc.) by switching on this circuit n=1 the noise level is set as a default threshold for switching on the microphone and is not one way opened.

(0/1) Nearly every country in the world has different telephone norms and this parameter enables you to lower the voltage on the Brave‟s terminals to connect telephone line voltages in active state by 1V. Where it is required the respective norm I=0 lowers line voltage by 1V, as standard it is l=1.
