A. Introduction

The Legrand adorne™ Wireless 2.4GHz Video Intercom Kit (see Figure 1), is an advanced wireless-based video intercom system consisting of a Video Door Unit and up to three Video Room Units. The AI6100M1 Wireless Video Intercom Kit consists of the Video Door Unit and one Video Room Unit packaged together. Up to two additional Video Room Units (AI6000M1) can be ordered separately to create a maximized system.

B. System Components Overview

System Components

The following components are typically utilized to make up the AI6100M1 Wireless Video Intercom Kit (see Figure 2).

 Wireless Video Door Unit: The Video Door Unit may be powered by existing doorbell

power (16-20V AC), and in that case, mounted on the door frame, or may be powered by an included battery unit, which enables the Video Door Unit to be door frame or center of door mounted. The battery option requires six AA batteries (not included), which should provide for six months of typical operation. All installation components for each style of operation are provided, including angled door frame mounting brackets, a flat center-ofdoor mounting bracket and a doorbell power kit.

 Wireless Video Room Unit: The Wireless Video Room Unit comes with its own AC

adapter for power, a wall mount bracket for wall mounting and a folding stand for table top use. The Room Unit supports three languages (English, French and Spanish), and has several built in features for system personalization, including 88 Room Names, 19 Door Names, 7 GUI Menu Themes (background/text colors) and 18 Doorbell Tones. Room Units also support messaging, so that the delivery man can leave a message saying a package has been left, or when multiple Room Units are employed, messages can be sent to other Room Units to announce when dinner is ready. The maximum wireless range of the system is up to 200ft. line of site or up to 75ft. obstructed.

C. User Interface Overview

There can be only one Master Room Unit in a system, whether it is the only Video Room Unit, or if there are multiple Video Room Units. It is typically the first Room Unit powered on and configured. The Master Video Room Unit is the only Room Unit that can create custom Door Greetings or retrieve a message left at the Door Unit. Video Room Units that are not the Master Unit have no icon. There are also several icons discussed later that appear just to the left of the Unit name, such as Busy, Monitor, Mute, etc. that indicate the status of a particular Unit

1. How to Navigate the User Interface:

Press Up/Down Navigation Buttons to move the highlight to a different selection.

Press theTALK/SELECT Button to see the highlighted selection’s sub-menu (or answer the Door).

The Left Navigation Button acts as the Back Button.

The Left and Right navigation Buttons are also used when not performing another function to lower and raise the volume of the Video Room Unit.

The Right Navigation Button is used to move the highlight to select a different function. In the example shown, we’ve stopped on “Record” to record a message to the Master Suite.

Press the TALK/SELECT Button to Begin recording.

Again, the Left Navigation Button Acts as the Back Button.

Page 5

2. Pop-up Style Message Screens:

Depending on the operation, the display may be replaced by a PopUp Message (sending a message to the master suite in this case).

The most common one of these is initiated when the Left or Right Buttons are pressed from an otherwise idle Room Unit (as previously discussed, it’s used to adjust the Room Unit’s volume).

3. Additional Icons on the Display:

When a Room Unit is placed in Mute or Monitor mode, icons are added to the Room Unit to show the status of a particular Unit (in this case, the master suite user has placed his Room Unit in Mute).

Page 6

D. System Personalization

The following section explains how to use any Wireless Video Door System Room Unit to personalize the system. Start by pressing the Setup Button on the Room Unit.

Notice that there is a selection (the last one) for customers who prefer their existing doorbell chime to any

of Legrand’s. In that case, their

chime sounds instead of any of the Legrand chimes, but the system still works the same.

 WARNING:

If you select “External System Chime” (and are using existing doorbell wiring to provide system power), there MUST be an external door chime attached to the doorbell wiring system.

From the Door Settings screen, the next item is for “Chime Volume”.

Page 18

E. System Configuration

The following section includes information on adding and removing additional Room Units, performing System Diagnostics, and performing a System Reset.

1. Adding Another Video Room Unit (or Door Unit to a reset Master Room Unit)

To add an additional Video Room Unit (or Door Unit to a reset Master Room Unit), plug in the AC adapter of the new Video Room Unit (or power the Door Unit). The new Unit should be beeping twice at a regular interval. On the original Room Unit (the master Unit with the little house next to his name), highlight the “Add

New Paired Unit” line and press the

Talk/Select Button. The master Unit will then beep three times to indicate it has paired with the new Unit.

During the pairing operation, a Popup screen will let you know that the new unit is indeed being paired.

Page 19

When the pairing operation is complete, a different Pop-up screen will tell you that the new unit (Room 3 in this example) has been paired.

Remember, you’ll need to name that

new unit and decide on any other personalization (see previous section) that you may want to do.

Here is an example of a system with two Video Room Units and one Door Unit. In this case, you are in the Kitchen (the master Unit) and you have added a unit and named it Master Suite.

2. Removing a Video Room Unit (or Door Unit)

To remove a Video Room Unit (or Door Unit) from the system, on the master Video Room Unit, highlight the “Remove Paired Unit” line and press the Talk/Select Button.

Page 20

The next screen will show you all the units, and you should highlight the name of the unit that you want to remove (in this case Master Suite). Press the Talk/Select Button to complete the removal.

3. System Diagnostics

If you are having issues with your Legrand Wireless Video Intercom System, Legrand Tech Support may ask you to run system diagnostics to help them remotely diagnose the issue. In that case, from the SetUp/Systems Settings screen,

highlight the “System Diagnostics”

line and press the Talk/Select Button.

After the diagnostics have run, a Pop-up screen will appear with the results of the diagnostics. Legrand Tech Support will most likely have you read off the information that is presented on the screen.

Page 21

4. System Reset

Although very unlikely, if you are having serious issues with your Legrand Wireless Video Intercom System, Legrand Tech Support may ask you to reset a Unit or the whole system and start from scratch. Before doing that, it would be a good idea to record all the particulars about the system (names, settings, etc.), because the System Reset will delete all of that information. Before performing a

“System Reset” from the Master

Unit, you may be asked by Tech Support to first “Remove one or more Paired Units”. A “System Reset” from a Room Unit will simply clear the memory of that unit. From the SetUp / Systems Settings screen, highlight the “System Reset” line and press the Talk/Select Button.

Next a caution Pop-up screen will appear reminding you that all settings will be erased. Press the Talk/Select Button to continue.

When the System Reset is complete, another Pop-up screen will appear to remind you to consult the user documentation to create a new network ID. If this Room Unit is going to be your new Master, press the Setup button followed by the Talk/Select button.

However, if you are simply adding this Room Unit to a system with an existing Master Unit, go to the Master Unit and perform steps E1 after adding the Door Unit (below).

Page 22

If you did create a new Master Unit, you should see this screen. Note that there is a little house icon on the same line as this unit’s default name (Room 1).

NOTE: When Tech Support directed you to “Unpair” or “System Reset” all the units, they should have also had you unpair or reset the Door Unit by holding its doorbell button for @10 seconds (until it beeps at you) and like unpaired or system reset Room Units, begins beeping twice every few seconds. They should have also had you unplug each Room Unit after it was reset.

You can only pair one unit at a time, so generally, on a new or completely reset system, after all the units are reset and unplugged, it is a good idea to first plug in the Door Unit and from the Master Room Unit perform steps E1 above to first add the Door Unit.

After you’ve added the Door Unit,

the screen should look like this.

To add any additional Room Units, again perform the steps in section E1 above (ie. Apply power to new Room Unit and from Master Room Unit “Add Paired Unit”).

Page 23

F. System Operation

The following section includes information on answering the door, recording a greeting, recording a message, sending a message, playing messages, muting units and monitoring units. There is also a separate area that discusses the things that change when a battery powered Door Unit is utilized. Let’s start off this section with answering a Door Unit call – so, what happens when someone presses the Door Unit Button?

1. Answering a Door Unit

When a visitor presses your Door Unit Button, all Video Room Units display the door camera image, and play the door chime that was selected for that Door Unit. The first Video Room Unit that presses the Talk/Select Button will be able to communicate with the Door Unit. At that point, any other Video Room Units will display a list of system Units, and those in communication will show a “Busy” icon next to their Unit name. In the example shown, the Master Suite is the Unit that answered and is communicating with the Front Door. When the Master Suite pressed the Talk/Select Button, both Units went into “Talk Hands Free Mode”, and can communicate for 1 minute, similar to a normal phone conversation.

Page 24

2. Calling Another Video Room Unit

If your system has more than one Video Room Unit, you can call one of the other Video Room Units. In this example, I’m in the Kitchen and I want to call the Master Suite. Use the Up / Down arrows to move the highlight to the Master Suite and press the Talk/Select Button to communicate with the Master Suite.

Notice that on the each Video Room Unit a “Busy” icon has been placed next to the two Units that are now communicating.

Just as in Door Unit communication, after the Kitchen pressed the Talk/Select Button, both Units have one minute of hands free time to talk to each other in an open line fashion. To end the session before the one minute expires, either Unit can press the Talk/Select Button, and the call will be ended. If they want to talk longer than one minute, either Unit can press their Talk/Select Button, to begin a new session.

Page 25

3. Door Messaging

If a visitor comes to your door when you are not home and presses the doorbell, a built in prompt will play after 25 seconds, telling them how to leave a message. It will tell them to press the doorbell button and leave a message. The length of the message they leave is adjustable 15-30 seconds (see section D.3.- Door Settings.), if Door Messaging is turned ON. You can also record a Door Greeting that would play instead of the built-in prompt (see following section).

4. Recording a Door Greeting

To record a Door Greeting that will play when someone presses your doorbell and you are not home, instead of the default prompt, start by pressing the Message Button. Use the Up / Down arrows to highlight “Record/Send Greeting” and press the Talk/Select Button.

A Pop-up screen will allow you to Play, Record, or Send the Door Greeting or select the Default prompt to be sent to the Door Unit. Highlight Record by pressing the Right arrow and press the Talk/Select Button to begin recording.

Page 26

As you are recording your new Door Greeting, a Pop-up screen will keep track of the time of the recording in seconds, and remind you to press the Talk/Select Button to end the recording.

Use the Right arrow to highlight the Play function and press the Talk/Select Button to hear the new Door Greeting.

Press the Talk/Select Button again to hear the new Door Greeting.

Page 27

A Pop-up screen will display the time in seconds as the new Door Greeting is playing. Notice that if you press Talk/Select at this point, you will erase the new Door Greeting. If you like the new Door Greeting, simply press a Left arrow to lock it in.

5. Recording a Message

Using very similar steps, you can also record a message, which would typically be sent to another Video

Room Unit, such as “Dinner is in the

oven”. Up to 3 outbound messages

may be recorded and saved for later

use, like “Take out the garbage” that

you send to another room every garbage day. To record such a message, press the Message Button,

and highlight the “Record/Send Message” line and press the

Talk/Select Button.

The next thing you have to do is select to which other Video Room Unit you’d like to send the message. In this example we will send the message to the Master Suite (our only other Video Room Unit. So, highlight the Master Suite and press the Talk/Select Button.

Page 28

Use the Right arrow (if needed) to highlight the Record function and press the Talk/Select Button to begin recording your message.

A Pop-up screen will display the time in seconds as you are recording the message. When you are done recording press the Talk/Select Button to end recording.

To hear the message you just recorded, use the Right arrow to highlight the Play function and press the Talk/Select Button to hear the message.

Page 29

Press the Talk/Select Button again to hear the message.

A Pop-up screen will display the time in seconds as the message is playing. Notice that if you press Talk/Select at this point, you will erase the message. If you like the message, simply press a Left arrow to lock it in.

Press the Left arrow one more time and it will take you back to screen to Send the message to the Master Suite.

6. Sending a Message

Once you have recorded a message and are happy with it, use the Right arrow to highlight “Send” and press the Talk/Select Button.

Page 30

A Pop-up screen will allow you to choose which message to send (you may have up to 3 in your queue). Use the Up / Down arrows to select which message to send. Press the Talk/Select Button to send the message to the other Video Room Unit.

While the message is being sent to the other Video Room Unit, this Pop-up shows you the status.

At the other Video Room Unit, (in this case the Master Suite), the Message Button will be flashing to indicate there is a new message.

Page 31

7. Playing a Message

To Play a received message from another Unit, press the flashing Message Button, insure the “Play

Message” line is highlighted, and

press the Talk/Select Button.

Use the Up /Down arrows to select which of your incoming messages to Play (you can have up to 10 messages in your incoming message queue – if you receive an 11th message, it overwrites the oldest message in your incoming queue). Press the Talk/Select Button again to hear the message.

A Pop-up screen will display the time in seconds as the message is playing. Notice that if you press Talk/Select at this point, you will erase the message. If you choose to erase the message, you may get a warning Pop-up telling you there are no more messages.

If you don’t want to erase the

message, simply press a Left arrow to keep it.

Page 32

8. Muting a Unit

To place a Video Room Unit in Mute, simply press the Mute Button. This can be thought of as a Do Not Disturb feature, as it simply turns off the speaker in the Unit. This means that if someone rings the doorbell at the Door Unit, you will not hear the chime at your Room Unit. Notice also that a Mute icon is placed to the left of your Unit name on this and all other Video Room Units, to let everyone know you are in Mute mode.

9. Monitoring a Unit

There may come a time where you

need to monitor a baby’s room, or

perhaps the room of an elderly parent. To place a Video Room Unit into Monitor mode, simply go to that Room Unit and press the Monitor Button. All other Video Room Units will then be able to hear on their speaker any sounds made in that room. A Monitor icon is also placed to the left of the Unit name of the Room Unit in Monitor mode on this and every other Video Room Unit. If another Room Unit does not want to hear the sounds from that room, they may place their Video Room Unit in Mute mode (see step 8 above).

Page 33

10. Operation with a Batterpowered Door Unit

There are several unique differences to the overall Wireless Video Intercom System operation when utilizing battery power, instead of hard-wired doorbell power. The most notable difference is that to save battery life, the doorbell light is not illuminated. Another thing that happens, when battery powered, is that when the doorbell times out after inactivity, it really turns off. This means that you cannot call the Door Unit or preview its camera from a Room Unit by selecting it and pressing the Talk/Select Button. Also, you cannot use a user created Door Greeting, or obviously connect to an external chime (no wires). Another thing that happens is, if you changed your doorbell chime, and press the Door Unit doorbell button, that first press just wakes up the Unit and the chime that plays at the Door Unit will be the old one. Press it one more time and the new chime will play.
