For an optimal operation we recommend a mounting height of 1.57 m (centre of the device above ground, Fig. 1). The ARGOS front door station is suitable for the use in very bright surroundings. Do not expose the camera to direct solar radiation.
Flush-mount ► Make a wall cut out for the flush-mount box. Use the flush-mount box as template for the wall cut out. Do not wall in or foam in the pressure compensa- tion element. Observe that there is a gap between the masonry and the pressure compensation element.
Connecting the lines For connecting external devices the ARGOS front door station offers different interfaces. Those are located at the right side of the circuit board (Fig. 5). Pos. Designation connection terminal (Fig. 6) switching inputs relay 2 relay 1...
Put on the front plate ► Clip (1) the front plate (2) onto the guidance points (3) of the flush-mount box (4). ► Push the front plate downwards. ► Secure the front plate with the locking screws (5). Fig. 7: Putting on the front plate Remove the front plate ►...
Connecting the lines Connecting lines Acceptable cross section (diameter): 0.25 … 1.5 mm (Ø 0.57 … 1.38 mm) Maximum number of wires per terminal contact: Connect further wires by using auxiliary terminals. Use only connecting lines made of the same material and with the same diameter within one terminal contact.
For the power supply of external devices the +12 V output at the switch can be used. If a different voltage resp. a load > 2.5 W is need- ed, an external voltage source is necessary. The functionality of the relay can be adapted via the web interface.
Initial operation WARNING! Danger to life due to electric shock Observe the safety regulations according to DIN VDE 0100, when working on main power con- nections of 230 V. ► Install the devices of the system voltage-free and completely. ► Switch on the mains voltage. ...
Configuration via OSD menu You need the red RFID card for the configuration via OSD menu (Fig. 12). Hold the red RFID card in front of the RFID reader. The con- figuration menu is displayed (Fig. 13). If there is no input within 30 sec, the configuration mode is left automatically.
Audio Volume The volume of the voice and tone output can be adapted to the local conditions (Fig. 15). ► Select the menu Audio from the configuration menu. ► Slide the volume control of the Voice (1) resp. of the Tones (2) to the right to increase the volume resp.
Display Automatic control The brightness of the display adapts automatically to the ambient brightness. The measured brightness is displayed under the slide switch (1) (Fig. 17). ► Select the menu Display from the configuration menu. ► Slide the slide switch to the position Automatic (1). The bright of the display is adapted automatically to the ambient bright.
Network ► Select the menu IP address from the configuration menu. IP address ► Slide the slide switch (1) to position DHCP ON. The IP ad- dress is allocated to the device automatically. The IP address can change in the mode DHCP ON during operation.
Intercom function for visitor communication The Intercom function can be used to communicate with visitors, further for employees who e.g. have forgotten their identification card. Due to the Voice over IP protocol SIP, the device is compatible to modern (video) telephony infrastructures. Thus, no additional end device is necessary on the company side.
Control during a voice connection During an active voice connection to a telephone, image phone or Soft phone, orders can be entered via the tele- phone keyboard (Fig. 23). Depending on the end device, first the transmission of short cuts has to be permitted eventually.
Set up the access control The device offers 2 technologies for access control: RFID access code Put in employee data For assigning access rights to employees, their data needs to be registered in the user list of the web interface. ...
Using the access control Access via RFID card ► Hold the RFID card in front of the RFID reader. If an as- signed card is recognised, access is granted. The card is recognised with a distance of 1 to 3 cm in front of the device.
Access with access code ► Tip the access code field (1). ► Enter you access code with the 10-key keyboard. ► Correct your input with the Corr. button (3). ► Confirm your input with OK (2). If the access code is cor- rect, access is granted (Fig.
