AXW-AVT / AXW-AVR

AX Series Audio-Video Adaptor for 3<sup>rd</sup> Party Transmission Equipment

- INSTRUCTIONS -

The AXW-AVT and AXW-AVR are designed to allow connection of a standard AX-series audio video door station (or audio-only IE-series door station) via the AXW-AVT, conditioning the signal for use with 3<sup>rd</sup> party transmission equipment (fiber optics, Ethernet, etc.) and converting it back via the AXW-AVR to a signal compatible with the AX-series exchange unit. External video input/output is provided at both adaptors to allow 3<sup>rd</sup> party camera input, output to recording devices, etc. A motion detector or other activation device can be connected to the Sensor input to trigger door / camera activation (AXW-AVT only). The units also feature a relay output to trigger an external device, such as a DVR or video switcher local to either the AXW-AVT or AXW-AVR whenever the audio and/or video is active. Alternatively, the AXW-AVT can be used to adapt an AX-series audio video door station to a standalone third party device (video server, network DVR, etc).

AXW-AVT Internal Jumper Settings:

The AXW-AVT has three internal jumper settings to control the functionality and conditioning of the audio circuitry. These should be adjusted as necessary, based on the selection of fiber / Ethernet equipment used. To access these jumpers, the chassis of the AXW-AVT will need to be opened. Adjusting these jumper settings will NOT invalidate the AXW-AVT's warranty.

Transmitting Gain (CN3): Controls the amount of amplification applied to the outgoing audio ('Audio Out')

connection of the AXW-AVT. A 'Low' setting provides no gain, whereas a 'Hi' setting applies approximately +10db of amplification. Default position is 'Low.'

Receive Gain (CN4): Controls the amount of amplification applied to the incoming audio ('Audio In')

connection of the AXW-AVT. A 'Low' setting provides no gain, whereas a 'Hi' setting applies approximately +10db of amplification. Default position is 'Low.'

Muting Circuit (CN5): The 'Muting Circuit' controls whether audio to/from the door station is

completely full-duplex, or limited to one direction or the other (semi-duplex). This adjustment is required in situations where latency may be present between audio transmission and reception (i.e., Ethernet). In such situations, the muting circuit should be set to 'On' to reduce audible echoing. In situations where latency is not an issue (i.e., fiber, direct connections, etc.), this should be left in

the default 'Off' position.
