3. Put the blanking modules on the unused side holes as shown in the figure. 4. If you are utilising a roof module, you should install it now. 5. Screw 2N® Helios onto the wall. Carry the supply cables (line, lock, power supply) through one of the holes into the basic unit frame.
6. If you use a roof module, fix its upper and side edges to the wall using silicone glue as shown in the figure to the right. Keep the following outdoor mounting principles: Always connect the backlight – it serves to equipment heating.
Connection to Telephone Line Connect 2N® Helios simply using LINE terminals. The advantage is that 2N® Helios requires no power supply because all power is fed from the telephone line – except for the button backlight and electric lock, if connected. Nevertheless, 2N® Helios can work without these circuits too and sends an acoustic signal on having been connected to a line (or after having been disconnected from the line for a defined period of time).
It carries unnecessary risks to connect the unit in this way. It is in no case recommended to connect 2N® Helios in parallel to another telephone or another 2N® Helios door communicator. It is neither admissible to use equipment that switches one line between two or more sets (intelligent double branch, etc.).
Typical Electric Lock Connection 2N® Helios contains a solid-state switch equipped with V-MOS transistors, which is able to switch both ac and dc regardless of polarity. Make sure that the current and voltage values do not exceed limits (refer to the Technical Data) and that the technical parameters of the lock and power supply are compatible.
We recommend you to use a UTP cable (8-wire, approx. 5.5 mm output diameter) for 2N® Helios connection. Push the cable into the groove on the left side of the cover. If you combine this cable with another one (e.g. the electric lock 2-wire cable), insert the 2-wire first and then the UTP cable to prevent the 2-wire cable from falling out.
Grounding Terminal Connection - Mandatory Any person that gets in contact with 2N® Helios may carry an electrostatic charge of several thousands of Volts. Drawing one‟s finger near to the 2N® Helios metal panel may result in spark discharge. The purpose of the grounding terminal is to protect the product against this discharge.
Lock and Backlight Connection Connection of Switch 2 A new additional switch, Part No. 9135250E, has been designed for 2N® Helios. It can be mounted into any basic unit, as an added option. To connect it, follow the instructions included in the switch delivery.
2.4 Camera Installation The camera unit, Part No. 9135210E, can be built into any 2N® Helios basic unit during installation or as an option to be added later. You can also use the camera unit in combination with any Vandal resistant panel. It is a colour CCD camera with high resolution of 420 TV rows, with a monochrome night mode (infrared backlight hidden under the nameplates), and has a wide-angle pin-hole lens (90º...
– an input connector (for connection towards ® the 2N Helios basic unit) and an output connector (for connection of another, more remote unit). Be sure to maintain the correct orientation of the units and avoid connector mismatch to ensure a proper function of the device! Module Cable Interconnection The cable is included in every extending module delivery.
Connector for next extender module connection Basic unit Extender unit Removed upper part of (open) (bottom part) extender module Fig.: 16–Button Extender Module Connection to Basic Unit Caution Extension modules must be interconnected by mounting jumper (tunnel), delivered together with each extension unit. This part is made from conductive plastic.
2.6 Buttons Labels – Insertion, Replacement Instructions 1. Remove the 2N® Helios metal cover. To do this, use a hexagonal key, unscrew the screw as shown in the figure and take the cover off. Remove the name plates as shown in the figure using, e.g., a screw driver.
Label Material and Printing Every 2N® Helios delivery includes a sheet of transparent foil that can be easily printed, with a laser printer. Cut the printed foil into pieces and insert the labels into the name plates. Do not use paper to avoid water logging.
2.7 Mounting - Completion ® 1. Remember to seal the 2N Helios IP cable passage hole properly to avoid moisture in-leak and damage to electronics due to condensation. ® 2. Make sure that the wires inside 2N Helios IP are not squeezed and insert the plastic top cover (a transparent plastic mould) carefully making its contacts plug into the electronics board connectors.

WRONG Gap between plastic cover and loudspeaker seal - water may leak in and damage electronics If the loudspeaker support is in a wrong position, the plastic cover may catch the support brim (see the arrow) and, if treated roughly, lead to component deformations.
® Helios Configuration ® This section describes the 2N Helios configuration. Here is what you can find in the section: Programming Full Parameter Chart ...
3.1 Programming All 2N® Helios parameters, including the keypad ones, are set remotely using any tone-dialling telephone set (or a mobile phone). First call 2N® Helios and enter the programming mode. The access to this mode is service password protected.
Each switch can be controlled with up to 10 different passwords that are listed in the 2N® Helios memory. Passwords can be added to the list using functions 811 and 821 and deleted with functions 812 and 822 individually. The default status is a single password in the list, namely 00 for switch 1 and 11 for switch 2.
Therefore, enter the service password as the value. Warning: Full initialisation takes a few seconds, 2N® Helios sends a continuous tone while memory clearing. Functions 997 and 998 take a little less time and are signalled by a continuous tone too.

Page 48
Terminology: For the purpose hereof, parameter means a value that is stored in the 2N® Helios memory and can be re-programmed. Function is a means of execution of another service such as initialisation, software version identification and so on.
The parameters can be set to overlap activation of the two switches: SWITCH 1 SWITCH 2 Explanation of Parameters 951, 952, 953 Ringing tone (example) At this time Helios detects, Long pause Ringing tone that ringing tone had ended. Par.
Page 50
Since the tone – pause difference is 500 – 250 = 250 ms, set parameter 944 to 300 ms, for example. Note Increase parameter 944 also when 2N® Helios is placed in a hall or corridor with a large decay time.
Function and This section describes the basic and extending functions of the product. Here is what you can find in the section: Function Description Section for Advanced Users Maintenance ...
If the 2N® Helios unit is connected to a telephone system you may be able to tag the port that 2N® Helios is connected to so that you can see on the ringing phone that it is 2N® Helios that is calling. When the called party answers the call, the visitor and tenant can speak to each other and If an electric lock is connected to 2N®...
You call the appropriate extension and 2N® Helios makes the call and gives a confirmation tone after two rings (or as pre-programmed). Now you can speak and control the 2 switches, program 2N® Helios (see later), and listen to what is going on outside and speak to the calling party if desired.
Function Description Call extension 2N® Helios beeps 10 seconds before the call end to extend the call by 30 seconds press on your telephone (DTMF). You can use this function repeatedly. The visitor, however, cannot use this function! Programming The access to this mode is password-protected. For details refer to the Programming section.
One of the tone components must be of 440 Hz. Code Lock The electronic lock connected to 2N® Helios can not only be activated by the phone but also directly from the door using the keypad. In this mode, the keypad behaves...
01 and 54 (0 may not be omitted) are pressed, the call to the pre- programmed number is made. You can use 2N® Helios as if it had up to 54 separate buttons, which saves buying the extender units and space on the installations wall.
Enter any valid password for switch 2 and Warning! Password 11 may not be used! Traditional button telephone gets 2N® Helios ready to dial a number. … Dials a number. Transmits into tone dialling during pulse dialling. Transmits a character in tone dialling.
Can I use the code lock while another person is speaking through 2N® Helios? Yes but this is not advisable as you should be aware that the password is private and could contravene security. What happens when I press a number with no pre-programmed ...
4.2 Section for Advanced Users Automatic Multiple Number Dialling When you press a 2N® Helios button, you may find out that the called line is busy or the called party is absent. 2N® Helios is able to identify these situations and solve them by Automatic Multiple Number Dialling if one of three automatic dialling modes is enabled.
Page 61
However, this may only decelerate automatic dialling (the busy tone may not be recognised, e.g.). Even if 2N® Helios cannot identify the DTMF, the connection is established (yet for a shorter time).
There are situations in which the calling person does not want to or cannot speak for security reasons in the automatic dialling mode. In these cases, 2N® Helios can play back a message stored in its memory. The test series includes the “Wait please, connection is being established"...
Section for Advanced Users The above-mentioned commands may not be accepted due to poor connection if sent during a message. To avoid this, press the button during the time of silence (between messages). Survey of Messages The table below includes a survey of language versions for standard announcements. English is selected by default.
Section for Advanced Users Arrival/Departure, Day/Night Modes 2N® Helios can identify easily where to „route‟ (switch) a call after a button is pressed. All you have to do is call 2N® Helios and enter the following: I‘m leaving: password I‘m back:...
Maintenance 4.3 Maintenance Cleaning If used frequently, 2N® Helios, especially the keypad, gets dirty. To clean it, use a piece of soft cloth moistened with clean water.
