4. Operating Instructions

The VIMAR K42931 system is designed for intuitive operation. Here are the basic functions:

4.1. Answering a Call from the Outdoor Plate

1. When a visitor presses a call button on the outdoor plate, the indoor monitor(s) will ring and display the visitor's video feed.
2. To answer the call, touch the Answer icon (typically a telephone receiver symbol) on the monitor's capacitive keypad.
3. You can now communicate with the visitor using the two-way audio function.

4.2. Opening the Door

• During a call, or when viewing the outdoor camera, touch the Door Release icon (typically a key or unlock symbol) on the monitor to activate the electric lock and open the door or gate.
• The system also supports an auxiliary service button for other connected devices.

4.3. Monitoring the Outdoor Area

• To view the outdoor camera feed without a call, touch the Monitor icon (typically a camera symbol) on the indoor monitor. This allows you to check the entrance at any time.

4.4. Intercommunication Between Indoor Monitors

• If multiple indoor monitors are installed within the same housing unit, you can initiate a call between them. Refer to the full user manual for specific instructions on using the intercommunication function, typically involving selecting the desired monitor from a list or using a dedicated intercommunication button.

4.5. Using the RFID Reader (Outdoor Plate)

• The outdoor plate includes an RFID reader for access control. Present a pre-programmed RFID key fob or card to the designated area on the outdoor plate to unlock the door without needing to use the indoor monitor. Programming of RFID credentials is detailed in the advanced setup section of the complete manual.

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and reliable operation of your VIMAR K42931 system.
