USE
The switchboard has two different operating states, that can be selected by the attendant:
NIGHT MODE
The status LED (Fig. 2) is off.
In this mode, the switchboard is disabled and the system operates as if the switchboard was not present,
allowing visitors to directly call users, that of course can answer and open the door lock.
In this operating mode, users can not call or be called by the switchboard.
In case of mains fail, the switchboard will operate as if it was in "night" mode. After mains return, the
switchboard will continue to operate in "night" mode, regardless of the state it was before the power-
off.
By pressing the button
, the switchboard is enabled to operate in "DAY" mode.
DAY MODE
In this mode the switchboard is active and can operate in two different ways, called "TOTAL" and "PARTIAL".
The button "P/T" allows to select the operating mode between Total and Partial.
At power-on, it is automatically set in TOTAL mode; by pressing the button, the switchboard operating mode
will change in PARTIAL mode.
The operating mode is signalled by the status led "S", that lights steady or blinking.

In this mode, the switchboard intercepts all the calls coming from the door unit and rings with a dual-tone
sound; when a call arrives, the led "S" starts blinking red and stays on until the conversation end.
To answer the call, the attendant must pick the handset up and speak BY KEEPING the button
activate the electric lock, press the button "DOOR OPENER".
After answering, to call a user it is necessary to enter the code associated to the desired user and press the
button
. The status led blinking red changes and becomes steady red for about two seconds and then
becomes yellow to indicate to the attendant that the call has been forwarded and the switchboard is waiting
for an answer; to connect the called user to the door unit, press one of the two "R" buttons. It is possible
to connect a user called by the switchboard only if the switchboard has received before a call from the door
unit.
At any time, except when a conversation is already in progress, any user can call the switchboard attendant by
pressing the "DOOR OPENER" button present on his door phone or video door phone.
Also the attendant can call any user at any time, simply by entering the associated code and then pressing
the button
.
If the attendant, after calling a user, while he is waiting for an answer (the status led is yellow), wants to
call another user, he must interrupt the fi rst call by hanging the handset up, in order to put the switchboard
back in standby mode. When the status led will light again in green, the attendant will be able to perform a
new call.
