DESCRITPION
The unit distributes the bus signal to 4 outputs linked to videophones or intercoms. A switch (“AMP>”) allows to enable (active)
or disable (passive) the amplication. If active, the amplication can be adjusted in a linear way by a built-in trimmer. To make the
amplication adjustment easy, the related positions corresponding to a low level , a medium level and to a high level are marked.
The amplication only eects the 4 outputs and not the loop through output. Art.317N also includes a bus isolation feature which
isolates Art.317N from the rest of the bus in case a short on one of its outputs occurs . This prevents a short from happening in any
apartment impairing the whole system. In case of short on any BUS output the LED LD1 switches ON.
