DIGIVOICE SYSTEM
MAXIMUM NUMBER OF DEVICES CONNECTED IN
SYSTEM
It should be borne in mind that there is a physical limit to the number
of devices (power supply, decoders, entrance modules, guard door
switchboard stations, etc.) that can be connected. This limit is 400
devices per system. However, as this limit does not include devices
such as doorphones, monitors, etc. which are not connected to the
data line, the number of users who can be served is far above
400. Where four-port decoders are used, for example, the maximum
number is around 1600.
MAXIMUM NUMBER OF DEVICES CONNECTED TO
A SINGLE POWER SUPPLY UNIT
Power supply unit Ref. 1038/20 supplies system device logic circuits
through its terminals ‘+V’, ‘0V’. In addition, it supplies the speech signal
circuits of one or more entrance panels through terminals ‘+F’, ‘0F’,
and,ifconguredastheMASTERunit,suppliesthedatalinethrough
terminals ‘DU’, ‘0D’.
The following points should be borne in mind concerning logic supply
through terminals ‘+V’, ‘0V’. The power supply unit is sized for a typical
systemcongurationconsistingofoneentrancemoduleand35four-
port decoders Ref. 1038/34. Complex systems can be set up using
two or more power supply units, each of which supplies a separate
group of devices through output terminals +V/0V. Never connect two
or more power supply units in parallel.
For example, in a system with one or more main entrance modules
and one or more riser cables with associated secondary entrance
module, it will be necessary to use:
• One power supply unit with circuit breaker for each riser cable.
• One power supply unit with circuit breaker for several main entrance
panels (see below).
The following rule of thumb can be used to calculate the maximum
number of devices that can be installed:
1) Each DIGIVOICE device can be classied according to its
consumption in load units (LU) at terminals +V / 0V. For example:

2) A maximum of 70 LUs can be connected to each power supply unit
Ref. 1038/20.
Examples:
• Case 1:
One entrance module with directory 1038/13 1 x 15 LU = 15 LU
35 four-port decoders 1038/34 or 1038/35
without kit 1183/52 35 x 1.5 LU = 52.5 LU
TOTAL: = 67.5 LU
• Case 2:
One entrance module 1038/10 1 x 25 LU = 25 LU
28 four-port decoders 1038/34 or 1038/35
without kit 1183/52 28 x 1.5 LU = 42 LU
TOTAL: = 67 LU
• Case 3:
One entrance module with directory 1038/13 1 x 15 LU = 15 LU
22 four-port decoders 1038/35
with kit 1183/52 22 x 2.5 LU = 55 LU
TOTAL: = 70 LU
• Case 4:
45 four-port decoders 1038/34 45 x 1.5 LU = 67.5 LU
TOTAL: = 67.5 LU
WARNING: In complex systems, several entrance modules can be
supplied by the same power supply unit.
In such cases, however, the Load Units rule of thumb outlined above
cannot be used, and the maximum number of outdoor devices must
not exceed:
• Three for entrance modules 1038/12, /13 or 1038/15 or 1038/16.
• Two for entrance modules 1038/10.
• Eight for speaker units 1038/62 or 1038/5 or 1038/7.
NOTE: in all cases, DO NOT supply devices other than entrance
modules or speaker units.
MAXIMUM NUMBER OF APARTMENT STATIONS
PER BRANCH LINE
A maximum of two apartment stations can be connected to each
branch line from a decoder Ref. 1038/34, 1038/35 or 1038/38. The
codes associated with each apartment station and with any guard door
switchboard stations must be unique. Never assign two identical
codes in order to make two apartment station ring at the same
time.
LINE RESISTANCE LIMITS
Line resistance limits are specied on the basis of three conductor
categories: power supply conductors (+V, 0V), data line conductor
(D) and associated reference ground (0D), and voice conductors (FA,
FB, FA1, FB1, FA2, FB2, +F, 0F). In this context and in the following
paragraphs, the term device is used to designate any item connected
to the data line (e.g., entrance module, decoder, etc.).
POWER SUPPLY CONDUCTORS (+V, 0V)
Maximum permissible resistance on each of the two conductors is:
• 5.5 Ohm across power supply unit and the last decoder.
• 0.5 Ohm across power supply unit and entrance module.
• 1.5 Ohm across power supply unit and speaker unit.
Maximum distance in meters between devices depends on cable
cross-section as shown below.
