Getting started
Follow the steps below to connect this system quickly and easily. Tip: If you encounter any
problems during installation please visit www.elro.eu. There you will find installation videos,
answers to frequently asked questions, and the latest version of this manual among other things.
Necessary materials
For the installation you need:
• A small Philips screwdriver
• A drill and drill bits
• Marking-out materials
• A 5/8" PVC pipe
• Measuring tape
• A level
Step 1: outdoor unit
Start the installation by mounting the outdoor unit. Place the outdoor unit on a wall or on a frame,
preferably at 1.35 - 1.7 meters high (2). Caution: make sure the sun does not shine directly into the
lens.
1. Remove the mounting plate from the outdoor unit
2. Take the mounting plate and mark the drill holes where the screws will be inserted. Then drill
two holes.
3. Mark the location of the hole where the wires will be inserted and drill a hole with a diameter
of 16 mm from the outside in. Drill approximately 10 degrees upwards diagonally.
4. We recommend to insert a 5/8" PVC pipe in the drill hole. This tube is available in most home
depots. Caution: If you need to drill through wood, use a speed drill with a diameter
comparable to that of the bell push wires.
5. Mount the mounting plate using the screws to the wall/frame.
6. Push the cables of the camera into the PVC pipe from the outside in.
o The plugs with red, yellow, and blue wires are used for connecting an electric door
release.
o The plugs with red, yellow, blue and white wires are used for connecting to the
monitors.

7. Place the camera on the mounting plate and attach the hex screw to the bottom of the bell
push. Now, the camera has been mounted to the mounting plate.
Step 2: Monitor
Connecting and mounting the monitor is the next step of the installation. The perfect mounting
height of a monitor is between 1.35 and 1.7 meters depending on the height of the users (1).
1. Take the mounting bracket for the monitor and mark the drill holes where the screws should
be inserted.
2. Drill two holes and mount the mounting bracket with the included materials.
3. Connect the bell push to the monitors:
a) Take the 50-cm connecting cable and link it to the outdoor unit's connection cable.
b) Take the 15-metre connection cable and link it to the 50-cm connecting cable.
c) Connect the other end of the connection cable to the monitor.
d) Link the cables with red, yellow, blue, and white wires to the included extension
cables.
e) Plug the connectors of the extension cables into the monitor (top right, AD1)
4. Plug the adapter into the monitor (bottom left, GND) and into a power socket.
5. Carefully slide the monitor over the hooks of the mounting bracket. Now, the video door
intercom is ready to use!

Connection diagram and electric lock
Below you will find the comprehensive connection diagrams for extra monitors or door locks.
Based on safety guidelines, we recommend to connect an electric door release via the monitor.
This diagram also indicates how to link a second monitor (1). The electric door release can also be
released using the second monitor. The 2 connecting cables (2) are not used if no electric door
release is linked during the installation. In this case, use the cable clamps (2) to seal the separate
brown KEY1 wires.

An externally powered electric door release (AC/DC 5V ~ 24V) can be connected via the bell
push/camera optionally. Check the NO red and blue or NC blue and yellow connection. Consult the
lock's user manual for the right connection.
