General information Digital entry phone panels OPTIMA SL255 have been developed based on OPTIMA 255. The OPTIMA SL255 series panels are adapted to operate in multi-entry systems as SLAVE type panels. OPTIMA panels are advanced entry phone central units with digital selection, displaying the number and messages on liquid crystal display and feature to control access executed by coded opening the entry door.
– to supply the panel use a power supply of output voltage within the range 12- § 15VAC and current 2A (min 20VA), handsets - with the digital entry phone system it is recommended to use Elfon OP-U7 hand sets or § equivalent or possibly Laskomex LM-8 handsets or equivalent, electric lock –...

AC20 power supply (14VAC, 20VA, available from ELFON). Should length of the supply cables be longer, it is necessary to increase the panel voltage supply remembering not to exceed 15 VAC. For example, when using the supply voltage 15 VAC, it is possible to extent the distance to 70 m using the cable AWG17.

Except the voice connection, video system allows displaying the image sent by Optima SL255RC panel on a screen. Panel cooperates only with Elfon OP-VM monitors. Mixed installation is also possible, where part of tenants have OP-VM monitors and another part uses handsets. Additional elements of one-entry video system are 4-channel video distributor modules OP-VR4.

Operation and programming manual It is possible to change a series of panel operation parameters (individual and general) in a simple and intuitive way. Parameters can be changed both by a fitter and user. Range of changes to be performed in the digital panel depends on the codes.
Figure 11: Potentiometers Loudness, Microphone, Balance. If any of the mentioned above actions were made, panel can be use, however its additional, correct configuration would allow more efficient operation of the system. By default, the panel is programmed to cooperate with 255 handsets - within full range. Selection of any number starts the calling (even when a handset of selected number is not present in the system, it is not connected).
operated, the connection with the panel will be established. The screen displays message "Talking". The connection can take max. 255 seconds (about 4 minutes) , and can be terminated earlier by putting down the handset receiver. 3. When using ABCD numeration: using the keyboard, select flat number with which you want to connect with the key "".
All functions of the coded lock (opening the lock / relay with a code or tag) operate independently from the currently established connections from other panels. Menu „Settings” The Settings menu may differ depending on whether we use service (fitter) code or user code. Administrator has more options concerning the changes of individual parameters, has the access to settings unavailable for regular users and also has the option to lock the access for users to some of the settings.

(option Number assignment). It is easier to do this by configuring the ranges from the level of Optima PC software. Detailed description can be found in Optima PC 2.28 rev8 manual available on elfon.com.pl (after logging in the tab Manuals). Example No 2 - hotel numeration There are three storeys in the building.
Page 24
Example No 3 - mixed numeration There are 30 flats in the building – 20-39 and 240-259. To delete and add these two ranges, user should proceed just as in example 2. Because the second range exceeds number 255 (which is maximal amount of handsets), OPTIMA 255V2 will assign numbers bigger than 255 to the lowest free adresses in the system.
This function allows to extend the flat number with letter A-Z. When entering this function, it's similar to NR ↔ HS Assignment, and screen prompts NR (number of flat entered on the Optima SL255) to HS (physical address of handset) connections. ABCD numeration can only be added to number of flat, which is used.
