Aiphone AXWAVT IP Only Instructions User Manual

							- INSTRUCTIONS -
The AXW-AVT is designed to allow connection of a standard AX-series audio video door station (or audio-
only IE-series door station) via the AXW-AVT, conditioning the signal for use with 3rdparty transmission 
equipment (Ethernet).  External video input is provided at adaptor to allow 3rdparty camera input, output to 
recording devices, etc.  A motion detector or other activation device can be connected to the Sensor input to 
trigger door / camera activation. The units also feature a relay output to trigger an external device, such as a 
DVR or video switcher local to the AXW-AVT  whenever the audio and/or video is active. Alternatively, the 
AXW-AVT can be used to adapt an AX-series audio video door station to a standalone third party device 
(video server, network DVR, etc).

AXW-AVT TERMINAL DEFINITIONS:
DOOR (RJ-45 Jack): RJ-45 connection from AX-series audio video door, or spliced audio only door (IE/
IF-series).
AUDIO IN/OUT: Input / Output connections for audio transmission (line level, polarity indicated by 
‘+’ and ‘-’).
CALL IN/OUT: Transistor-switched input / output to be connected to relay input / output on 
transmission equipment. ‘Call In’ indicates call placed by door station, ‘Call Out’ 
indicates master-initiated activity (polarity indicated by ‘+’ and ‘-’).
SENSOR NC, NC: Normally Closed contact input, activates ‘Call In’ function when tripped by external 
motion detector or other device with N/C contacts. 
RELAY NO, NO: Normally Open relay contact, activated whenever communication is active.
VIDEO IN: Composite input signal from CCTV camera, if used in place of AX-series audio 
video door station.
VIDEO OUT: Composite output to external transmission equipment. Source dependent upon 
CCTV / DOOR switch.
CCTV / DOOR SWITCH: Determines whether AX-series audio/video door station video (‘DOOR’ setting) or 
external CCTV video (‘CCTV’ setting) will be present on ‘VIDEO OUT’ for 
connection to external transmission equipment.

							CONFIGURATION DIAGRAM:  
AXW-AVT with Axis 243SA Video Server (Standalone Only)Configuration Notes:
1.  AX-series video door station connects to ‘DOOR’ input of AXW-AVT. 
Ensure that the “CCTV / DOOR’ switch on the AXW-AVT is in the ‘DOOR’ 
position. 
*2. Alternatively, an IE/IF-series or AX-DM audio door may be used, along 
with 3
rdparty CCTV camera.  Connect audio door station to ‘Door’ input 
(following the wiring method shown in the AX-series installation manual, 
pg. 12). Connect the camera to ‘Video In’ and put the ‘CCTV / DOOR’ 
switch in the ‘CCTV’ position.
3.  Connect the Call In / Call Out and Audio In / Audio Out connections on 
the AXW-AVT to the Axis 243SA connectors, as shown.
4.  Configure AXW-AVT internal jumpers as necessary (see Pg. 21).
Pg. 2Pg. 3Please Note:
Only information pertaining to the connection and operation of the AXW-AVT / AXW-AVR and listed 3
rdparty devices interfacing with it are included here. Aiphone is not 
responsible for attempts to connect the AXW-AVT / AXW-AVR to untested 3
rdparty transmission hardware. Consult the installation manual for the 3
rdparty device being utilized 
for further information regarding physical mounting, base functionality, power requirements,  etc.  For the most up-to-date compatibility information, please consult http://
www.aiphone.com or contact Aiphone Technical Support. 
For complete AX system installation, wiring, and programming information, please consult the AX Installation Manual (included on CD with AX Central Exchange Unit, or 
available at http://www.aiphone.com).

Axis 243SA Application Considerations:
The Axis 243SA can only be used in ‘Standalone’ configuration (i.e., 
utilizing a PC as a master station).When used in standalone configuration, Aiphone recommends 
Controlware’s VIPDoorControl software.  For further details, see 
http://www.vipdoorcontrol.com
.
Consult the Axis 243SA Installation and User manuals for further 
information pertaining to video server installation and configuration.

AXW-AVT Internal Jumper Settings:
The AXW-AVT has three internal jumper settings to control the functionality and conditioning of the audio 
circuitry.  These should be adjusted as necessary, based on the selection of fiber / Ethernet equipment used.  
To access these jumpers, the chassis of the AXW-AVT will need to be opened.  Adjusting these jumper 
settings will NOT invalidate the AXW-AVT’s warranty.
Transmitting Gain (CN3): Controls the amount of amplification applied to the outgoing audio (‘Audio Out’) 
connection of the AXW-AVT.  A ‘Low’ setting provides no gain, whereas a ‘Hi’ 
setting applies approximately +10db of amplification.  Default position is ‘Low.’
Receive Gain (CN4): Controls the amount of amplification applied to the incoming audio (‘Audio In’) 
connection of the AXW-AVT.  A ‘Low’ setting provides no gain, whereas a ‘Hi’ 
setting applies approximately +10db of amplification.  Default position is ‘Low.’
Muting Circuit (CN5): The ‘Muting Circuit’ controls whether audio to/from the door station is 
completely full-duplex, or limited to one direction or the other (semi-duplex).  
This adjustment is required in situations where latency may be present between 
audio transmission and reception (i.e., Ethernet).  In such situations, the muting 
circuit should be set to ‘On’ to reduce audible echoing.  In situations where 
latency is not an issue (i.e., fiber, direct connections, etc.), this should be left in 
the default ‘Off’ position.
