Operating Instructions
The Comelit SIMPLEBUS Audio/Video Intercom Module operates as an integrated part of your overall Comelit intercom system. Its primary function is to capture audio and video from the entrance panel and transmit it to indoor units.
Key Functions:
- Audio Transmission: The integrated electret microphone and speaker facilitate two-way audio communication between the outdoor panel and indoor monitors. The audio levels are managed by the double amplifier.
- Video Capture: The 1/4' pin-hole camera captures black and white video footage, which is then transmitted to compatible indoor video monitors. The camera's front swivel allows for precise aiming.
- LED Security Lighting: The module includes LED lighting to illuminate the immediate area for improved video clarity, especially in low-light conditions.
- User Addressing: The module supports addressing for a large number of users (up to 120,000), allowing for complex system configurations.
Operation of the audio and video functions is typically initiated from the indoor monitor or by a visitor pressing a call button on the outdoor panel. Refer to your indoor monitor's user manual for specific instructions on how to view video, answer calls, and communicate with visitors.
Maintenance
The Comelit SIMPLEBUS Audio/Video Intercom Module is designed for low maintenance. Regular cleaning and occasional checks will ensure its longevity and optimal performance.
Cleaning:
- Exterior: Use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe the exterior surfaces of the module. Avoid abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the finish or electronic components.
- Camera Lens: If the camera lens appears dirty, gently clean it with a soft, lint-free cloth specifically designed for optics. Do not apply excessive pressure.
General Checks:
- Periodically inspect the module for any visible damage or loose connections.
- Ensure the camera and microphone are still correctly aimed and have not been inadvertently moved.
Always disconnect power to the system before performing any maintenance that involves opening the panel or accessing internal components.
