With a RJ45 connector, the twisted pair should be tightened as shown in Fig. 3, the monitor should be connected to output
1, 2 or 3, and the panel should be connected to the input. With screw connectors, they shall be connected as per Fig. 4:
power supply to ter 15 V DC and GND, audio/ data signal line to LINE terminal, video respectively to terminals: IN
(V + and V-) from Panel, OUT (V1-, V1 +, etc.) to individual monitors. Operation is not allowed with a RJ45 connector and
a screw connector in the same video channel at the same time. The +
15 V DC
and
GND
output voltage can supply the E-
lock (EL POW + and EL POW-) in the panel.
To interconnect multiple power supply units, Output 3 (OUT3) should be connected to Input (IN) of another unit.
ATTENTION!
No voltage (+ 15 VDC) connection to different power supply units can be allowed. To do this, disconnect
power supply from IN connector (Panel) by removing jumper J (if RJ45 connectors are used) or by not conn 15
VDC power supply wires (orange and brown) to ARK screw connector.
It is recommended to make the connections with an unshielded twisted pair (UTP) of at least 5e or 6 category, and to
connect E-lock power supply with conductors of at least 1.5 mm
2
, maintaining the distance as per Fig. 2.
Fig. 2. Basic details of line lengths and wire types
Comments:
1) The distance for cat. 5e cable, can be extended by increasing the wires' cross-section (e.g. cat. 6e or by adding a
thicker wire for signals: Line, GND, + DC). To connect the panel at a distance over 100 m, an additional 15 VDC power
supply unit should be connected directly to the Panel.
2) UTP cat. 5e twisted par is required for proper video transmission, image distortion may occur if other cable types are
used.
3) E-lock power supply
1) 2) 3) If the system is connected with a wire other than recommended or the distances are larger than those specified,
the installation is possible, but a test connection of the set-up should be made, and the whole system's performance
should be checked. Also the technical support can be contacted at www.aco.com.pl or by email to [email protected]
Routing the video door entry system cables (especially those for Audio/Video signals) in close proximity of another wiring
(power, telecommunications, alarm systems) should be avoided, as this can adversely affect the system performance.
