*2 Additional cores will be required for the following connections: trade facility 2 additional cores, coded
keypad 2 additional cores. If fitting a fail safe lock then 2 additional cores and an appropriate DC power
supply will be required.
Please note that if door monitoring is being used then a separate 2 core cable between the door monitoring
contacts and the video switching equipment can be fitted. The maximum acceptable resistance for these
connections = 3 Ohms or less for best possible performance. Table K3 below shows the type of cable that
is recommended.

Whenever possible between the video switching equipment and the video intercom panel both the
videophone speech line connections (1 and 2) should be twisted with the GND connection as pairs. The
maximum acceptable resistance for power terminal connections and lock release connections = 3 Ohms or
less, for all other connections = 10 Ohms or less for best possible performance. The balanced video signals
V1 and V2 must be a twisted pair.
It is recommended that if YY cable is being used then use the numbered cores 1, 2 and 3 for the balanced
video signal and VidGND connection (e.g V1 = core 1, V2 = core 2 and VidGND = core 3).
The previous tables K1, K2 and K3 can be used to build up a cable layout for a non-coax video system.
The videophones should be cabled back to a central point where the video switching equipment would
be located (including any Art.316 non-coax video distributors). The video intercom door station would
also cable back to the central point. Fig.24 shows an example of a 2 entrance 4 button video intercom
system using 3000 series, 5000 series and 3600 series videophones with an overall distance of 150m from
intercom door station to the videophones.
