Vimar 01415 2F+ Gateway: IoT Integration for Due Fili Plus Video Door Entry Systems

Introduction

The Vimar 01415 2F+ Gateway is an IoT device designed for integrating the Due Fili Plus video door entry system with IP/LAN networks, cloud services, and applications for smartphones, tablets, or touch supervisors. It is designed for installation on a DIN rail (60715 TH35) and occupies 6 modules of 17.5 mm.

This gateway connects the Due Fili Plus bus to an Ethernet LAN network, allowing the video door entry system to be used with Vimar home automation systems. IP connectivity enables local and remote operations via dedicated Android/iOS applications.

The gateway facilitates information transfer between the Due Fili Plus bus and an IP network. With an internet connection, cloud-enabled remote management functions are available for both installers and end-users.

Operation

• Configuration of the Due Fili Plus system.
• Association with touch screens (models 01420, 01422, and 01425).
• Firmware updating.

Functions Available from Touch Screen:

• Outdoor unit self-starting.
• Outdoor unit lock opening.
• Audio intercom calls.
• Activating system functions (e.g., stair light, auxiliary functions).
• System contacts list and favorites menu for quick access.
• Configurable video voicemail.
• Audio and video call settings adjustment.
• Input for landing bell.
• Support for CCTV integration.
• Support for remote call service on smartphone/tablet.

Auxiliary Power Supply Mode

The device's power supply mode is selected via a dedicated dip switch:

• [ON] (Switch 1): Power supply from auxiliary (AUX). If no voltage is present on AUX, the device is powered from the Due Fili bus.
• [OFF] (Switch 1): Exclusive power supply from AUX. The device is never powered from the Due Fili bus.

Note: To power the device solely via the Due Fili bus, place the dip switch to [ON].

Video Termination

To terminate the video signal, set the dip switches as follows:

• A [ON] OPEN: When the BUS cable enters terminals 1, 2 and continues to another internal unit.
• B [ON] 100: When a BUS cable with a characteristic impedance of 100 Ohms (Elvox 732I or 732H cable) enters terminals 1, 2 and the riser stops in the internal unit.
• C [ON] 50: When a BUS cable with characteristic impedance of 50 Ohms (Cat. 5 or Cat. 6 twisted pair cable) enters terminals 1, 2 and the riser stops in the internal unit.

Key Functions

The gateway features several function buttons with associated LEDs:

• [F1] Cloud-Gateway Connection Emergency Procedure:
  • Press and hold [F1] (10 s) to reset network configuration in DHCP and re-establish Cloud connection.
  • LED 1: [ON] when gateway is working properly; [OFF] when not working or Cloud is enabled but unreachable. Flashes during reset via Installer App.
• [F2] New IP Address Request & Gateway Reset:
  • Briefly press [F2] to restart DHCP client and request a new IP address. No action if static IP is configured.
  • LED 2: Permanently [ON] when an IP address is assigned; [OFF] if no address is assigned. Flashes when DHCP server is not present or reachable.
  • Press and hold [F2] (10 s) for factory reset (all LEDs turn off).
• [F3] Firmware Updating & Gateway Restart:
  • Manual Firmware Update: Press and hold [F3] (10 s) until LED 3 flashes. Connect PC via USB, copy update files to the 'UPDATE' drive, safely remove the drive, then press and hold [F3] (10 s) again. LED 3 remains [ON] during update. IMPORTANT: Do not remove power during update.
  • Gateway Restart: Press and hold [F3] (10 s) until LED 3 flashes, then press and hold [F3] (10 s) again. LED 3 stays [ON] briefly before restart.
  • LED 3: Indicates firmware update status.
• [F4] Configuration in Due Fili System:
  • The gateway must be configured as primary in the Due Fili Plus bus.
  • Press and hold [F4] (10 s) until LED 4 flashes.
  • Assign ID: For Master panels, press the button to associate. For Alphanumeric panels, enter the desired ID and press confirm.
  • LED 4: Remains [ON] to signal normal operation after ID assignment.
• [CONF] User Association Enabling:
  • Briefly press [CONF]. LED 5 turns [ON] and stays lit.
  • LED 5 turns [OFF] upon successful enabling or after 3 minutes if unsuccessful.
  • N.B.: To enable gateway association with the Installer, the device must not be already configured. Repeated presses of [CONF] do not restart the procedure.

Installation Rules

• Installation must be performed by qualified personnel in compliance with local electrical installation regulations.
• The RJ45 network interface (10/100/1000 Mbps) must only be connected to a SELV (Safety Extra-Low Voltage) network.
