Art.4203 - Installation instructions
DESCRIPTION
The Art.4203 unit is a digital front panel based on a “2 wire” BUS intercom system that enables the connection of traditional push
buttons. This unit is housed in a single 4000 Series module and is available in Mirror Stainless Steel (standard nish) or anodized
aluminium (add /A after the product code). It incorporates the functional interface connections from functional to digital and the
speaker unit module with 0, 1, 2 or 4 call buttons.
This device enables the connection of up to 64 functional push buttons using standard 4000 Series extension module panels Art.4842,
Art.4843, Art.4844, Art.4845 and relevant double button version Art.4842D, Art.4843D, Art.4844D and Art.4845D. The push buttons
already tted to the module are to be subtracted from the number of those to be inserted, i.e. 4, 2 or 1 according to the model.
The module built-in buttons, 1, 2 or 4 (Art.4203-1, Art.4203-1D or Art.4203-2 and Art.4203-2D) as factory presetting are set as 1st ID
PHONE or 1st and 2nd or 1st, 2nd 3rd and 4th of the addresses group selected by dip-switches 2 and 3. Operating on the wires carried out
from the module, you can set the buttons how you want. If a number of push buttons greater than 64 is required, more Art.4203 mod-
ules can be used to have up to 150 buttons with 900 Series, up to 180 buttons with 3000 Series (except intercom Art.316x model) and up
to 255 with the low cost intercom Art.316x..All the modules must be assembled using the 4000 Series ush or surface mounting units.
The Art.4203 can work with 900 Series or 3000 Series or with the new low cost intercom Art.3161.

OPERATION
Once the Art.4203 has been programmed and connected correctly, it will generate on each pressing of a push button, a code corre-
sponding to the PHONE ID (address programmed on the 8 way dip-switch inside each telephone) of the telephone being called.
TO CALL A USER
Press the relevant button to call the user: 5 quick beeps will indicate if the system is busy, otherwise the call will be signalled by a
slow intermittent acoustic signal until the call is answered, the conversation time expires (programmable time) or the call is inter-
rupted by pressing a push button for a minimum of 2 seconds. A short intermittent acoustic signal indicates that the door is open.
If a wrong push button is pressed or if there is no answer, a new call will erase the previous one.
PROGRAMMING
The programming is carried out exclusively through the conguration of the two jumpers and the 8 way dip-switch both accessible
from the back of the module. Depending on the 2 jumpers settings, the 8 way Dipswitches have a dierent function.
WITH THE TWO JUMPERS IN UPPER POSITION “OTHERS” (TO WORK WITH 900 & 3000 SERIES EXCEPT INTERCOM ART.3161
& ART.3162), THE 8 WAY DIP-SW ENABLES THE FOLLOWING:
• Program the unit as a Master or a Slave (switch 1);
• Program the 64 push buttons group (switches 2 & 3);
• Program the conversation time (switch 4);
• Program the door opening time (switch 5);
• Program the device number (switches 6,7,8);
CONFIGURATION OF THE UNIT AS A MASTER OR A SLAVE:
Switch Nr.1 Setting Up
OFF = Slave
ON = Master (default)
PROGRAMMING OF THE 64 PUSH BUTTONS GROUP:
Switch Nr.2 Nr.3 Setting Up
OFF OFF = from 1 to 64
ON OFF = from 65 to 128
OFF ON = from 129 to 180
ON ON = from 1 to 64 with 900 Series devices
Switches 2 & 3 dene the range of Phone IDs generated by the unit when the call buttons are pressed. For example with dip-switch
2 and 3 both OFF, the push button connected between the Art.2203 terminals “1” and “a” generates the ID PHONE 1 while the
same push button, with dip-switch 2 ON and dip-switch 3 OFF, will generate the PHONE ID 65. The fourth range of push button
groups can be used with the 900 Series intercoms and videointercoms.

PROGRAMMING THE CONVERSATION
TIME:
Switch Nr.4 Setting Up
OFF = 1 min
ON = 2 min
PROGRAMMING THE DOOR OPENING TIME:
Switch Nr.5 Setting Up
OFF = 2 seconds
ON = 6 seconds
PROGRAMMING THE DEVICE NUMBER:
Switch Nr.6 Nr.7 Nr.8 Setting Up
OFF OFF OFF = 1
ON OFF OFF = 2
OFF ON OFF = 3
ON ON OFF = 4
OFF OFF ON = 5
ON OFF ON = 6
OFF ON ON = 7
ON ON ON = 8
The device number is used by the digital concierge to show from which entrance calls are made.
PROGRAMMING NOTES (3000 AND 900 SERIES MODE)
In case of a wrong Master/Slave conguration (Dip-switch no.1), the following problems can occur:
a. If the unit should be a Master but is congured as a Slave, the error is signalled by an acoustic intermittent signal until the problem
is resolved;
b. If the unit must be Slave but is congured as Master, the impedance of the system will have a lack of balance, causing feedback
(“Larsen” eect).
When a system uses a concierge unit Art. 2210-1 the push button combined to the Phone ID 1 (only with the switches.2 & 3
OFF = ID Group from 1 to 64) is reserved to call the concierge in day or night mode.
WITH THE TWO JUMPERS IN LOWER POSITION “316X” (TO WORK ONLY WITH INTERCOMS ART.3161 & ART.3162), THE 8
WAY DIP-SW ENABLES THE FOLLOWING:
• Program the 64 push buttons group (switches 2 & 3);
• Program the number of call rings (switches 4 & 5);
• Program the conversation time (switch 6 & 7);
• Program the door opening time (switch 8);
The switch 1 is not used.
PROGRAMMING THE 64 PUSH BUTTONS GROUP:
Switch Nr.2 Nr.3 Setting Up
OFF OFF = from 1 to 64
ON OFF = from 65 to 128
OFF ON = from 129 to 192
ON ON = from 193 to 255
PROGRAMMING THE NUMBER OF CALL RINGS:
Switch Nr.4 Nr.5 Setting Up
OFF OFF = 2
ON OFF = 4
OFF ON = 6
ON ON = 8
PROGRAMMING THE CONVERSATION TIME:
Switch Nr.6 Nr.7 Setting Up
OFF OFF = 1 min
ON OFF = 2 min
OFF ON = 3 min
ON ON = 4 min
PROGRAMMING THE DOOR OPENING TIME:
Switch Nr.8 Setting Up
OFF = 2 second
ON = 6 seconds
SPECIAL APPLICATIONS - SYSTEMS USING BLOCK EXCHANGER ART.2206N
In all systems using block exchangers Art.2206N, the main entrance panels which are connected before these exchangers can
only be digital type panels because of technical reasons
In case the system operation requires that the digital panel is only enabled to call the switchboard, it is possible to connect as a
main panel one or more Art.4203 (for Art.4203 instructions) or Art.8203 (for Art.8203 instructions) with one single button only as
follows:
• Blue wire connected to terminal “8”;
• Yellow wire connected to terminal “A”;
• Switch 2 on “OFF”;
• Switch 3 on “ON”.
Thanks to this conguration the panel can be set as one of the “main” panels and when the button is pressed the call is made directly
to the switchboard.

LEDS MEANING
Symbol LED meaning
The rst LED (red), if switched ON, indicates that it is not possible to
make a call because a call or a conversation is in progress (from the
outdoor station from which you are calling or from another outdoor
station on system with multiple entrances).
The second LED (red), if switched ON, indicates that a call is in progress.
The LED will be switched OFF when the call is answered.
The third LED (yellow), if switched ON, indicates that it is possible to
speak. The LED will be switched OFF at the end of conversation (or at
the end of the conversation time).
The fourth LED (green), if switched ON, means that the door lock has been
operated. It will be switched OFF at the end of the “door opening” time.

MOUNTING NOTES
We recommend completing the programming of the unit and then connect the extension front panel modules as follows:
• Connect the push buttons common connection to one of the Art.2203 terminals marked with numbers from “1” to “8”, depend-
ing on the PHONE IDs required when pressing the push buttons (for example with the dip-switches 2 and 3 both OFF, connecting
the push buttons common to terminal “1”, will enable the PHONE IDs from 1 to 8 to combine with the push buttons, while con-
necting the common to terminal “2” will enable the PHONE IDs from 9 to 16 and so on refer to Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 on page 1);
• Connect each push button of the module to the Art.2203 terminals marked with the letters from “a” to “h” depending on the
PHONE ID needed to be combined with the push button (for example having dip-switches 2 and 3 both OFF and the push but-
tons common of the module connected to terminal “2”, connect the push button to terminal “a” to call PHONE ID 9, or “b” to call
PHONE ID 10 and so on refer to Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 on page 1).
In order to achieve the correct combination between the push buttons and the relevant extensions, it is advisable to refer to the
picture at the back of the module for the correct cabling.
The digital concierge cannot be installed on systems using Art.316X intercoms.
