Installation Steps
- Choose a Location: Select a suitable indoor location for the extension unit, typically near an existing power outlet and within reach of the main VP 1000 unit's wiring. Ensure it is at a comfortable viewing height.
- Mount the Bracket: Secure the mounting bracket to the wall using the provided screws. Use a level to ensure it is straight.
- Connect Wiring: Carefully connect the necessary wires from the main VP 1000 unit to the corresponding terminals on the VP 1000 EV extension. Refer to the wiring diagram provided with your main VP 1000 system for specific connections (e.g., video signal, audio, power, gate release). The VP 1000 system typically uses 110V/220V power, and the extension unit will draw power from the main system.
- Mount the Unit: Once wiring is complete, carefully attach the VP 1000 EV extension unit to the mounted bracket, ensuring it clicks securely into place.
- Power On and Test: Restore power to the main VP 1000 system. Test the extension unit by initiating a call from the outdoor unit. Verify that video and audio are functioning correctly and that the gate release command (if connected) operates as expected.
Operating
The Intelbras VP 1000 EV extension unit provides intuitive controls for managing your video intercom system.
Basic Functions
- Answering a Call: When a visitor presses the call button on the outdoor unit, the VP 1000 EV will ring and display the visitor's image on the 4-inch TFT screen. Lift the handset to answer the call and begin communication.
- Viewing a Visitor: Even without a call, you can often press a dedicated button (labeled 'cam' or similar) to view the outdoor camera feed on your screen.
- Opening the Gate/Door: During a conversation or while viewing the visitor, press the gate release button (often depicted with a key icon) to unlock the connected gate or door.
