SYSTEM OVERVIEW & OPERATION
The Centurion Polophone is a very versatile intercom system designed for a multitude of applications ranging
from a basic 1 to 1 kit to larger installations with up to 5 components in the system. A component is either an
entry panclora handsetas detailed below.
Expandability
| he Palophone system can be configured using combinations of up to 5 components as follows:
®* Uplowoenlry panels
® Two groups of handsets with up to three handsets per group.
¢ | hesystem can operate withoutan entry panel connected.
[ach call bullon rings one or both of the groups of handsels, depending on the mode sel. Inlercommunicalion is

Wiring
The syslem uses a wo wire bus to link all the components, making the wiring of the system particularly easy.
Powering the system
The Polophone system operates off a DC supply and can therefore be powered [rom either a 14V DC mains
adaptor or directly from (he ballery supply ofa 12V gale molor system.
The powersource can be connected to any componentin the system.
Other features
Using the same two wire bus, cach handset can independently operate the door lock or gate motor linked to
cach entry panel. The entry panel is provided with a potential free, normally open contact to opcrate cither a
gate motor or, in series with a separate power supply, to activate a door lock.
An auxiliary, polential free, normally open pushbutlon is also provided on each handsel. This pushbullon does
nol connect lo [he [wo wire bus and requires separale wiring lo operale an auxiliary function on the gale molor
ordlthe entrance such as swilching an external light elc.
A fourth button is provided on cach handset to call the handsets in the other handset group.
A small window is provided an the face of the handset cradle for the indicator light (LED). | he terminals for this
LED are on the underside of the cradle circuit board. hese can be wired to a gate motor status function etc.
Similar lo the auxiliary pushbullon, additional wiring is required.
Permanent backlighting of the entry panel call buttonís) and identification labelís) arc provided.

SYSTEM OVERVIEW & OPERATION
Operation
When setting up the system the handsets can be split into two groups. Intercommunication can only occur
between these groups.
When the call button(s) atan entry panel is pressed it will ring the handset(s) linked to the specific handset group.
The entry panel call buttons can be configured as:
* 1-Button entry panel:
Top button (A) and bottom button (B) rings all handsets in the system
* 2-Button entry panel:
Top button (A) rings group “A” handsets
Bottom button (B) rings group “B” handsets
The factory defaultis a 2-button entry panel.
NB: In a system with 2 entry panels, a V2 entry panel will only work with a V3 entry panel that has been
configured for 2-button operation, not 1-button operation. V3 entry panels are compatible in either
1- or 2- button mode.
In an installation with two entry panels the call tone will be different for each entry panel. There will be a
simultaneous ring atthe entry panel to confirm the ringing at the handset(s).
When lifting the handset, voice communication can take place between the entry panel and the handset. If any
of the other handsets in the system are picked up while this communication is taking place, there will be
common communication with these handsets.
A dedicated call button is provided on the handset to call the other group of handsets. Any handset in one group
will ring all the handsets in the other group. The ring tone is different to that generated when being called from
the entry panels to that the user can identify that it is an internal call. If communication is taking place between
handsets the entry panels are automatically disconnected to ensure privacy of internal communication.

PoloSwitch
This dual-function relay card connects to the POLOphone 2 -wire bus.
Depending on the switch setting on the relay card, the PoloSwitch functions
either to make up an external ring extender for a particular group of handsets
or itacts as a secure gate trigger for a particular entry panel.

POWER SUPPLY & WIRING
Power Supply
The Polophone system operates off a 14V DC supply. The system is designed so that power can be connected to
any one of the components in the system.
If the system is being installed with a gate operator that can provide at leasta 12V DC 150mA supply, the entry
panel can be connected directly to this unit.
a NB: Ifthe 12V DC gate motor supply dips when motors starts up and the intercom is being used at the same
time, the speech quality might be affected.
Alternatively if battery power is not available at the entry panel, CENTURION offers a 14V DC supply (mains
adapter), (order ref: POLOP000V1) that plugs into a universal two pin 220V AC mains supply socket.
A DC Jack is provided on the output of the adapter that plugs conveniently into the cradle of any one of the
handsets in the system.
Terminals are provided on the cradle electronic module to terminate a 14V DC supply should the supply being
used not have a jack compatible with the socket on the cradle.
If the bus voltage (between terminals ”1” and “2”) is lower than 8V DC, power needs to be applied at another
unitin the system.
Wiring
The two wire bus of the Polophone system is polarised. If incorrectly connected the unit will not operate, but it
will not be damaged.
The length of the bus is limited to a maximum of 150m.
A NB: It might be necessary to double up on the thickness of the 2 wire bus depending on the distance
between the entry panel and handsets in the system, and to which component the power supply is
connected (handset or entry panel). Refer to page 5 for the cable thickness schedule.
