Introduction (continued)

General features of the JACQUES Intercom Systems include:

• The Intercom Systems utilise RS-485 microprocessor controlled operations. This allows for long Cat-5 cable runs between points and Master Station interfaces.

• The Intercoms have been designed and built around “multiple-levels”. This allows for the systems to grow with your requirements as they can be easily upgraded or expanded.

• The Intercom units are built with a unique self-checking function, which allows for the products integration with the Emergency Warning and Intercommunications System (EWIS). The units comply with Australian Standards.

• The systems have been built with “on-board self-diagnostics”. The inbuilt self-diagnostics allow the system to perform a self-test check on the operation of the Slave Intercoms. If a fault is detected, the offending station will appear on the fault log and notification will be displayed at the Master Station.

• Allows for multiple incoming calls with Priority Importance Scanning. The system will automatically answer priority calls first.

• Control of up to two individual Auxiliary Audio Channels, for music to be selected and distributed to the Slaves and Masters.

• A detailed internal registry that will keep track of any system errors that occur.

• Provides clear, high-quality voice transmission and reproduction. There are three types of JACQUES Intercom Systems:

1/ Networked Intercom System RS485-configuration Concentrator-configuration 2/ Stand-Alone Intercom System Non-Contact Visits-configuration 5 and 2 Station-configuration 3/ Emergency Help Point Intercom System RS485-configuration Concentrator-configuration Ethernet-configuration

Devices (continued)

Controllers Controllers are used specifically with the JACQUES Networked Intercom Systems and can be used in two (2) ways:

1. As the Interface Gateway between the Master Station to the Slave Intercom(s) and Device(s)

2. As the Interface Gateway between the Master Station to the Concentrator(s).

Up to 255 Slaves and/or Devices or Concentrators can be connected to a single Controller, with the use of Repeaters.

JACQUES Controllers and Repeaters are used with the JACQUES Networked Intercom Systems. Controllers are available as a Stand-Alone or rack-mounted unit. Shown here as a 3RU modules.

Repeaters If the intended application requires the connection of more than 32 Slaves and/or Devices or Concentrators to a single Controller a Repeater would be added to the system. Each Repeater will connect additional 32 Slaves and/or Devices, or Concentrators - to a single Controller (up to a maximum or 255 per Controller.) Up to 8 Repeaters can be added, per Controller.

Devices (continued)

Concentrators A Concentrator is used specifically with the Concentrator-configuration type, Networked Intercom Systems. The Concentrator acts as an Interface between the Controller and the Concentrator-Type Slave Intercoms. A maximum of eight (8) Concentrator-Type Slaves can be connected per Concentrator.

JACQUES Concentrators are only used with the [Concentrator-configuration] type Networked Intercom

Systems. Can be a Stand-Alone, 6RU or 1RU high unit. Shown here as a 1RU high unit

Devices (continued)

Slave Intercoms The Slave Intercom is the unit which allows the caller to interface to the JACQUES Intercom System and are used to send and receive calls to the Master Stations. The Slave Intercoms can be installed within a wall, doorway or gate. Two styles of Slave Intercoms are available: 1/ RS485-Type Slave Intercoms: These types of Slaves have on-board memory chips that are used to store individual identification information. They connect directly to the Controllers. 2/ CONCENTRATOR-Type Slave Intercoms: These types of Slaves do not have on-board memory chips. Instead, they store information within the Concentrator unit. They can only be used specifically with the Concentrator-configuration type, Networked Intercom Systems. Emergency Help Point Units Help Point Units are highly visible, user friendly calling stations, which form part of the JACQUES Emergency Help Point Unit. The Help Point Units have been designed with vandal resistance in mind. The units can be used within the RS485, Concentrator and Ethernet system configurations. Accessories

JACQUES Accessories cover any additional peripheral equipment that can be added to any JACQUES Networked Intercom System. This includes microphones, speakers, amplifiers, CCTV cameras and 19” Equipment Racks.

11

Levels JACQUES Intercom Systems are designed and built from a hierarchy of levels. A single level contains a Master Station, Controller and the Slaves or Devices connected to the unit.

A single-Level system

Other levels of Masters, Slaves and Devices can be added above or below this level, to create many user-defined levels. A multiple level system can contain any number of Master Stations, Controllers and Slaves (over 8000 in all).

A multi-Level system

The advantages of building an Intercom System with multiple levels are: 1/ The ease to upgrade and expand the system at a later date. 2/ Allows for multi-Station operators, within the one Intercom System. 3/ Allows for single-Station operator, when other Masters are “remote switched” – For example during night time or part-closure of a building.

12

Wiring Topologies The JACQUES Networked Intercom Systems are wired in one of two topologies:

1/ Bus-wired topology 2/ Star-wired topology

The difference being the way the Slaves or Help Points are connected to its Controller or Concentrator. Bus-Wired topology This cabling method is commonly found in larger installations, where there are a large number of Slaves or Help Points arranged in a regular pattern, ie: rooms in a building. Bus-wiring topology can only be used with the RS485-configuration type Intercom Systems. The cable (stranded Cat-5, 4-pair data cable) is wired out from the Controller into a continuing parallel or daisy-chained sequence between the Slaves or Help Points. Bus-wired topology is only used with the RS485-configuration type, Intercom Systems.

13

Wiring Topologies (continued)

Star-Wired topology This cabling method can be found on either RS-485 or Concentrator-configuration type, Intercom Systems. However, it is the only method used for wiring the Concentrator-configuration type Intercom Systems. The Star-Point is a common wiring point of all Slaves or Help Points. In a typical installation, this could be a 3M or Mondragon insulation termination block.

Star-Wired topology block diagram, using the RS485-configuration type, Intercom Systems. Note the additional termination blocks used, such as 3M or Mondragon type.

14

Networked Intercom System The JACQUES Networked Intercom System is typically used in very large installations with many (over 8000) Slaves and Devices attached. Single or multiple Master Stations control all operations, by creating an intercom system using a hierarchy of levels. JACQUES Networked Intercom Systems are available in two different designs:

1/ RS485-configuration 2/ Concentrator-configuration

The configuration used in a particular System will depend on the size and wiring criteria of the installation.

15

Networked Intercom System (continued)

RS485-configuration The JACQUES RS485-configuration type Networked Intercom System is most commonly used for the larger site installation, due to its Bus-wiring topology between the Controller and the RS485 Slaves. It uses RS-232 data from the Master Control Station to the Controller, and RS-485 data from the Controller to the RS485-Slaves. A maximum of thirty-two (32) Slave Intercoms can be connected to any one Controller. This can be expanded up to 255 Slaves, by the additional use of a JACQUES Repeater. Additionally, by using a hierarchical network of Master Control Stations, Controllers and Repeaters, the Intercom System can be expanded out to control the connection of over 8000 Slaves or Devices.

The following is a block diagram of a complete Controller-type JACQUES Networked Intercom System.

Properties in this particular installation are: Single-Level system Single Desktop Master Station Controller Termination frame for Bus-Wiring of Slaves Interface to a VCR for recording conversations (audio and video)

Networked Intercom System (continued)

Concentrator-configuration The JACQUES Concentrator-configuration type Networked Intercom System is different from the RS485-configuration type system. The main difference with this configuration is that it requires an additional Concentrator unit to be attached between the Controller and the Concentrator-Slaves. This system is most commonly used for smaller site installation, due to its Star-wiring topology between the Concentrator and the Slaves. It uses RS-232 data from the Master Control Station to the Controller, RS-485 data from the Controller to the Concentrator and Current-Loop design from the Concentrator to the Slaves. The following is a block diagram of a complete Concentrator-type JACQUES Networked Intercom System. Properties in this particular installation are:

Single-Level system Single Desktop Master Station Controller Two Concentrators, one has 6 Slaves, the other, 5. Two AM/FM Tuners supply the two Auxiliary Audio Channels Interface to a VCR for recording conversations

Networked Intercom System (continued) The following is a block diagram of a Concentrator-configuration type, JACQUES Networked Intercom System. This system uses different Slaves (Concentrator-Slaves) and requires the additional Concentrator unit, located between the Controller and the Concentrator-Slaves.

JACQUES Master Control Station Can be a PC or a Desktop Master. Shown here as a PC Master

JACQUES Controller Up to 255 Concentrators and/or Devices can be connected to a single Controller

Concentrator-type Slave Intercoms or Help Point Units Up to eight Concentrator-type Slave Intercoms or Help Point Units, can be connected per Concentrator unit. The Slaves are wired in a Star-Wired topology configuration.

19

Stand-Alone Intercom System The JACQUES Stand-Alone Intercom System is a ready to use complete Intercom System, which has been especially designed for small installation areas requiring a smaller number (5 to 2) of Intercom Stations. There are two types of Stand-Alone Intercom Systems:

1/ NCI (Non-Contacts Visits) Intercom System 2/ VSL series (5 to 2 Station) intercom system

The intercom used in a Stand-Alone Intercom application will depend upon the desired use and number of Slaves required.




Phone: +61 7 3844 1103 Fax: +61 7 3844 1078


20

Stand-Alone Intercom System (continued)

Non-Contact Visits configuration This configuration is a specially designed two-station Stand-Alone Intercom System, used for Non-Contact Visits areas in Correctional Centres and Police Station Watch Houses. This configuration uses an “Active End Station” and a “Handset Station”, rather than a Master or Slave unit. The use of an Active End Station and a Handset Station provides an extremely rugged and reliable two-station intercom system. As the system does not utilise RS-485 control data, the cabling distance has been shortened to 10 metres between the two stations. The following is a block diagram of JACQUES Non-Contact Visits, Stand-Alone Intercom System. Note this is only a two (2)-Station Intercom System.

21

Stand-Alone Intercom System (continued)

5 and 2 Station configuration This type of Stand-Alone Intercom System is used in any other small installation that requires up to four Slaves, connected back to a single Master, providing a 5-Station Intercom System. The Master Station is a special wall plate-type that is used specifically for this system rather than the typical desktop or PC type unit. The Slaves are also a special one-button type, used specifically for this system. RS-485 data is used to control functions and operations, allowing a cabling distance of up to 1000 metres between the Master and Slaves. The following is a block diagram of JACQUES five (5)-Station, Stand-Alone Intercom System. This Intercom System contains a Master Station and up to 4 Slaves.

22

Emergency Help Point Intercom System Emergency Help Point Intercom Systems are installed in an increasing number of passenger trains and buses, and also public buildings and other public areas. The Emergency Help Point Intercoms have been designed for use in areas where the public may be in a distressing situation or in the face of an emergency. These units allow the individual to immediately communicate to another person for help. The JACQUES Emergency Help Point Intercom System can be combined into an existing JACQUES Networked Intercom System, or used as a separate and complete, Emergency Help Point Intercom System. The JACQUES Emergency Help Point Intercom Systems uses Master Stations and Help Point units (not Slave Intercoms). Help Point Units (HPU’s) are vandal resistant individual calling stations, which form part of an Emergency Help Point Communications System. There are three types of Emergency Help Point Intercom Systems:

1/ RS485-configuration 2/ Concentrator-configuration 3/ Ethernet-configuration
