intercom containing a motor cable and a photocell cable. The junction box on the right may
be omitted for FERNI or FAST sets. Note the photocell cables pass through backs
of boxes then through the pier. Two intercom cables run through the pier from the
control box. W7 cable should then run directly to the handset in the house.

The motor cable requires an earth, a neutral and two live

conductors with a current rating of 5A. Duct cable should
be waterproof. Final runs to ATI motors must be flexible.
FROG motors have a 2 metre cable (excl. earth) fitted.
Photocell cables W5 and W6 should be 4 core. Intercom
cables W7 and W8 should be 8 core. Handset cable W7
should be 0.22mm per core on runs up to 50m or 0.6mm
per core up to 300m. Longer runs should use 12 core.

WIRING - Intercom panel & intercom handset
CALL PANEL w8
This short cable runs through the pier.
It may also run through the drive duct
if the call panel’s on the opposite side
to the control panel. Handset cable
w7 normally returns to the control box
but it could run direct to the house.

KEYPAD FUNCTION
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 The codelock has two relay outputs.
Each relay responds to its own pass

12-24v for a programmable ‘on period’ from
Intercom
cable AC/DC VX 800N-2L 1-99 secs. If the ‘on period’ is set to
00, the relay will latch on until reset.
W8
There is an ‘exit button’ input for each
relay that has the effect of tapping in
the pass code.
The wiring and programming on this
sheet uses either code to open the
gate. The intercom handset’s button
activates relay 1 for ‘on period 1’.
2 ~ ~ 1 ~ ~ X P2 P1 C
APPLICATIONS
Art.836-1 Pass code 1 is intended to open the
gate for the normal time. On period 1
would be set to ‘01’ (1 second).
If passcode 2 is programmed with the
on period set to 00, the gate will open
and stay open. It is cleared by re-
entering passcode 2 then press clear.
Setting ‘on period 2’ to 60 secs will
allow the gate to close after 60 secs.
Handset Extra long open periods are given to
cable postmen on foot, dust carts etc.

Relay 2 could be re-wired to operate
a pedestrian gate, garage door, drive
lighting etc. Call tech support for help.

KEYPAD PROGRAMMING
A mastercode must be tapped in to set the codelock into prog-
ramming mode. The factory default mastercode is 111111. The
red LED lights when the codelock is in programme mode. You
can leave a code or on period the same as before by pressing
enter. To exit programming mode, press enter successively.

- Tap in mastercode (normally 111111) - press enter
- Tap in new mastercode (6 digit code) - press enter
- Tap in ‘passcode 1’ (3-6 digit code) - press enter
- Tap in ‘on period 1’ (00 to 99) - press enter
- Tap in ‘passcode 2’ (3-6 digit code) - press enter
- Tap in ‘on period 2’ (00 to 99) - press enter
HANDSET(s) w7 - Exit programming mode - press enter twice

We advise running the handset cable
in one cable from the call panel to the
handset. Cable connections are often
lead to miswiring. Our ERD8443 is a
suitable cable for indoor and outdoor
Art.3021 runs up to 300m. An additional three
handsets can wired in parallel to the
first, however cable w7 may need to
be uprated.
To operate the codelock, tap in the passcode then press enter.
If the ‘on period’ has been set to ‘00’ (gate hold open mode) the
relay will stay on when operated. To cancel the hold open, re-
enter the passcode then press the clear button instead of enter.
The green light comes on when correct passcodes are entered.
Successive incorrect passcode entering will cause a codelock
to lock out for a penalty period.
