AIPHONE AX Series, AXW-AVT, AXW-AVR Manual

INTRODUCTION

The AXW-AVT and AXW-AVR are designed to allow connection of a standard AX-series audio video door station (or audio-only lE-series door station) via the AXW-AVT, conditioning the signal for use with 3rd party transmission equipment (fiber optics, Ethernet, etc.) and converting it back via the AXW-AVR to a signal compatible with the AX-series exchange unit. External video input/output is provided at both adaptors to allow 3rd party camera input, output to recording devices, etc. A motion detector or other activation device can be connected to the Sensor input to trigger door / camera activation (AXW-AVT only). The units also feature a relay output to trigger an external device, such as a DVR or video switcher local to either the AXW-AVT or AXW-AVR whenever the audio and/or video is active. Alternatively, the AXW-AVT can be used to adapt an AX-series audio video door station to a standalone third party device (video server, network DVR, etc).

CONFIGURATION DIAGRAM - Part 1

Configuration Notes (1 of 2):

AX-series video door station connects to 'DOOR' input of AXW-AVT. Ensure that the "CCTV / DOOR' switch on the AXW-AVT is in the 'DOOR' position.
*Alternatively, an IE/IF-series or AX-DM audio door may be used, along with 3^rd party CCTV camera. Connect audio door station to 'Door' input (following the wiring method shown in the AX-series installation manual). Connect the camera to 'Video In' and put the 'CCTV / DOOR' switch in the 'CCTV' position.
Connect the Call In / Call Out and Audio In / Audio Out connections on the AXW-AVT to the Meridian fiber transmitter module (as detailed at right, Fig. 1). For complete pin definitions, consult the Meridian installation document.
When the SENSOR input is used, the door station will be turned on whenever the sensor device Is activated (Normally Closed contact from 3^rd party supplied device).
The RELAY output provides an optional Normally Open dry contact output which is activated whenever the AX-series door station is in use.
This can be used to activate any device local to the AXW-AVT (DVR trigger, video switcher activation, local call indication, etc.).
Configure AXW-AVT internal jumpers as necessary.

warning Please Note:
Only information pertaining to the connection and operation ot the AXW-AVT / AXW-AVR and listed 3^rd party devices Interfacing with it are included here. Aiphone is not responsible tor attempts to connect the AXW-AVT / AXW-AVR to untested 3^rd party transmission hardware. Consult the Installation manual tor the 3^rd party device being utilized tor further information regarding physical mounting, base functionality, power requirements, etc. For the most up-to-date compatibility Information, please consult http://www.aiphane.com or contact Aiphone Technical Support.

CONFIGURATION DIAGRAM - Part 2

Contiguration Notes (2 ot 2):

Connect the AXW-AVR 'CEU' connection to an unused Door station input on the AX-CEU and ensure that the AX-CEU has been programmed to accept a video door station on that input.
Connect the Call in / Call Out and Audio In / Audio Out connections on the AXW-AVR to the Meridian fiber receiver module (as detailed below, Fig. 2). For complete pin definitions, consult the Meridian installation document.
The RELAY output on the AXW-AVR provides a Normally Open dry contact output whenever the door station connection is active. This can be used to activate any device local to the AXW-AVT (DVR trigger, video switcher activation, local call indication, etc.).

Application Considerations:

The Meridian fiber modules shown include extra contact closures which may be used for door release output local to the door station (using dry contact output of the AX-CEU as a trigger)
Power supply connections to the Meridian fiber modules are not shown, and are dictated by the mounting method chosen (standalone, tack mount, etc). Contact Meridian Technologies for available options.
AXW-AVT / AXW-AVR should be mounted as close as possible to their corresponding Meridian fiber modules. Avoid mounting units near high voltage AC devices, or other sources of inductive noise.

*Alternatively, an IE/IF-series or AX-DM audio door may be used, along with 3^rd party CCTV camera. Connect audio door station to 'Door' input (following the wiring method shown in the AX-seties installation manual). Connect the camera to 'Video In' and put the 'CCTV / DOOR' switch in the CCTV' position.
Connect the Call In / Call Out and Audio In / Audio Out connections on the AXW-AVR to the terminal block of the Infinova N3732TA-M, as shown. For detailed terminal definitions, consult the Infinova installation document.
When the SENSOR input is used, the door station will be turned on whenever the sensor device is activated (Normally Closed contact from 3^rd party supplied device).
The RELAY output provides an optional Normally Open dry contact output which is activated whenever the AX-series door station is in use. This can be used to activate any device local to the AXW-AVT (DVR trigger, video switcher activation, local call indication, etc.}.
Configure AXW-AVT internal jumpers as necessary.

**The Infinova N3732TA provides only a single relay output, which may be used to control the door station's standby mode (when connected to the 'Call Out' terminals on the AXW-AVT), or for door release. If utilized for door release, ensure that the 'Call Out' terminals on the AXW-AVT are shorted together.

warning Note: This will cause the door station to be in a constant-on state, which may reduce the lifespan of the AX-series door station.

When used jn standalone configuration, Aiphone recommends Controlware's VIPDoorControl software. For further details, see http://www.vipdoorcontrol.com.
Consult the Axis 243SA Installation and User manuals for further Information pertaining to video server installation and configuration.

AXW-AVT Internal Jumper Settings

The AXW-AVT has three internal jumper settings to control the functionality and conditioning of the audio circuitry. These should be adjusted as necessary, based on the selection of fiber / Ethernet equipment used.
To access these jumpers, the chassis of the AXW-AVT will need to be opened. Adjusting these jumper settings will NOT invalidate the AXW-AVT's warranty.
AXW-AVT Internal Jumper Settings

Transmitting Gain (CN3):
Controls the amount of amplification applied to the outgoing audio ('Audio Out') connection of the AXW-AVT. A 'Low' setting provides no gain, whereas a 'Hi' setting applies approximately +10db of amplification. Default position is 'Low.'

Receive Gain (CN4):
Controls the amount of amplification applied to the incoming audio ('Audio In') connection of the AXW-AVT. A 'Low' setting provides no gain, whereas a 'Hi' setting applies approximately +10db of amplification. Default position is 'Low.'

Muting Circuit (CN5):
The 'Muting Circuit' controls whether audio to/from the door station is completely full-duplex, or limited to one direction or the other (semi-duplex). This adjustment is required in situations where latency may be present between audio transmission and reception (i.e., Ethernet). In such situations, the muting circuit should be set to 'On' to reduce audible echoing. In situations where latency is not an issue (i.e., fiber, direct connections, etc.), this should be left in the default 'Off' position.
