INSTALLATION
Do not attempt to install you intercom system until you have read and thoroughly understood the installation procedure.
Aiphone’s warranty is void if system is installed in a manner other than described in this manual.
Lay out your system in advance. Determine the exact location of each station. We recommend a full complement of wire
be installed, even though you may not initially be installing the maximum number of stations available to your system. This
way, should you decide to add a station later, you can avoid running additional cables to existing stations.
