The video door entry module is none other than an audio-video interface through which it is possible to make voice and images interact; the device is provided with inputs and outputs that enable connecting the video door entry unit with the other appliances in the system (power supply, electrical lock, etc.). Figure 1 - Video door entry module 01955.
Type of system. The video door entry module 01955 can be used solely on video door entry systems of the Elvox Two Wire digital type; it will therefore be necessary to use solely Elvox power supplies in the Elvox Two Wire range (for the speci- fications see the relevant Elvox manuals).

Technical characteristics Power input. The consumption of the video door entry 01955 depends on the current operating mode of the video door entry unit (standby, on call, red/green LED on, control activation, etc.). The mean values of the power input in the three typical modes of operation are the following: - on standby 6 mA.
Technical characteristics General information on the digital controls. The digital controls are packets of data that can be sent from/to each digital device and contain the information/ instructions that enable activating a particular function (video call, intercom call, lock opening, stair lighting, auxiliary function activation, etc.) .
Functions of the video door entry unit The main function of the device is to identify, with communication and viewing via the audio and video channels, people asking to access the dwelling from the speech unit and to open or not open the electrical lockof the gate or door. In addition, the video door entry unit enables implementing other additional functions that are: - activating stair lights;...

Functions of the video door entry unit Self-start function This function enables activating audio and video communication on the speech unit without a call being received; this can be useful, for instance, in the case in which it is wished to check the external zone or an internal zone where an additional video camera has been installed.
Functions of the video door entry unit “Door Open” indicator. This function enables displaying a “Door Open” signal on the video door entry unit by lighting up the green LED on the right-hand side of the LCD monitor; this application is useful to avoid unwanted access to the housing unit. To enable this function it is necessary, when the door is closed to connect a sensor with a N.O.
Functions of the video door entry unit LOCK command activation. This command opens the lock of the door or the gate that provides access to the housing unit. The command is made by pressing the button "B" that sends the LOCK command to the panel which activates the corresponding actuator.
Functions of the video door entry unit Stair lights control activation (FUNCTION-F1/F2 or AUX SERVICE 1/2). With this command it is possible to activate the output used for commanding a suitable external relay connected to one or more lamps to be turned on. To activate this type of service it is possible to use both the FUNCTION F1/F2 commands (actuators available directly on the panel and common to all the internal ones) or the AUX 1/2 SERVICE commands (up to a max of 16 independent services) with the support for an Elvox external digital relay art.
