ESSENTIAL GUIDEDUOX AUDIO SYSTEM

STRATEGIC GOAL

To create a global 2 wire, non-polarized digital system for all intercom applications.

TARGET

- Combine in one technology the key features of the current Fermax technologies:

· MDS: High performance and great capacity.· VDS: Competitive price. Wiring flexibility. Ease of installation.· BUS2: 2 wire, non-polarized.

- Respond with one technology to suit all market requirements, from the individual home to the largest residential or commercial complexes.

SIMPLICITY

FLEXIBILITY

MAIN POINTS REVOLUTION

Mix audio/video installations without changing any common elements of the installation. Simply replace handsets with monitors to upgrade!.

The first fully digital door entry system in the world. Excellent audio quality. Designed to interface with future Fermax technological advances.

2 wire, non-polarized.Minimal number of modules to configure any installation.

Perfect for the new installation or refurbishment. Utilising virtually any cable:

parallel, UTP, UTP CAT-5. Refurbishment projects: 5 wire cable, door bell 2 wires,

old 4+N cable, etc). Any wiring configuration (star, daisy chain, distribution, etc).

Multiple panels, guard units, handsets, users, etc. (even greater than MDS!)

Long cable distances between communication points. (subject to cable used)*.

MAIN TECHNICAL FEATURES

Up to 10 panels and 10 guard units at the General entrance and at each block. (Up to 99 blocks).

Up to 10 panels at each Sub-block. (Up to 99 Sub-Blocks per block).

Up to 3 terminals (handsets and/or monitors) in the same apartment.

Up to 999.999 addresses (apartments).

Two simultaneous but individual conversations .

Same simple programming as used in VDS and Bus 2.

Max. 300 meters (without additional regenerator).

Max. 4 risers on the bus. Maximum 2 levels, 16 outputs in total.

Max. 5 apartment splits at each riser point.

18 Vdc power supply. (Same power supply as VDS).

Privacy of communication.

Various accessories to make the system even more powerful:End of Line termination: avoids any reflection of data signal.Riser Shunt Isolator: increases the numbers of risers in the installation and isolates the associated branch in the unlikely event of a breakdown.Programmer: Configures, programs, analyzes, measures, and fault-finds.
