Introduction
Linear’s M&S Systems brand Model DMC-10 Structured Wiring Intercom
System offers several advanced features never before available in an
intercom system. Its distributed hub design provides easy installation and
structured wiring mounting compatibility necessary for modern residential
and light commercial applications.
The room, door, and patio stations showcase a new, contemporary design,
crafted to blend smoothly into the installation’s decor. Station faceplates
are available in a variety of colors to further customize each installation.
Room station keypads are illuminated with soft blue indicators while the
intercom is in use. The door and patio station keys are illuminated with
white lighting for easy nighttime operation.
The heart of the system is the Model DMC-10H Intercom Hub. The intercom
hub grid mounts in a structured wiring enclosure. Up to eight room, door,
and patio stations in any combination can be connected to the system hub
using up to 500 feet of standard Cat-5 cable for each station. For larger
installations, a second system hub can be added for expansion, providing a
total system capacity of up to 16 stations. The Model DMC-10AWP Audio
Input Wall Plate can be added to the system to connect an external audio
source for distribution throughout the intercom system.
The room, patio, and door stations mount inside standard 2-gang junction
boxes and are easy to install and wire. Each station and the system hub
contains color-coded Type 110 punch-down terminal blocks for fast and
reliable connection to Cat-5 cable. A 12-volt switching power supply is
included with each intercom hub.

Safety Information and Cautions
Explanation of Graphic Warning Symbols
This symbol is intended to alert the user to the presence of un-insulated
“dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure that may be of
suffi cient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock.
This symbol is intended to alert the user to the presence of important
operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature
accompanying the device.
WARNING! To prevent fi re or shock hazard, do not expose this device
to rain, water, or wet locations.
CAUTION
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
DO NOT OPEN
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK)
NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE
REFER SERVICE TO QUALIFIED PERSONNEL
General Wiring Cautions
DO NOT USE EXCESSIVE FORCE ON PUNCH-DOWN TERMINALS! IF
•
USING AN IMPACT TYPE 110 PUNCH-DOWN TOOL, SET THE FORCE
ADJUSTMENT TO “LOW” BEFORE TERMINATING CAT-5 CABLES.
The 120 VAC line to the structured wiring enclosure’s junction
•
box must be run by a licensed electrician.
Individual CAT-5 cable runs from the hub to any station or
•
audio input wall plate should not exceed 500 feet.
Label all cables for identifi cation at the intercom hub.
•
DO NOT SPLICE CABLES! Splices are unreliable and defeat
•
the signal isolation properties of the cable.
DO NOT STAPLE CABLES! Staples cause shorts.
•
DO NOT RUN 120 VAC ELECTRICAL WIRES INSIDE INTERCOM STATION JUNCTION
•
BOXES. If you encounter 120 VAC wires running through station junction boxes,
you must have a qualifi ed electrician rerun those wires around the junction box.
KEEP CABLES AT LEAST 18 INCHES FROM FLORESCENT LIGHT FIXTURES, DIMMER
•
CONTROLS, AND ALL OTHER WIRING. This includes AC wiring, security cable, cordless
phone units, and other control wires. These can cause a “hum” or “buzzing” sound.
Keep all cables away from objects such as heating and air conditioning ducts, metal
•
construction plates, and anything else with sharp edges that can damage cables.
Intercom Room Station Cautions
DO NOT install room stations in saunas. They will not withstand the extreme heat or moisture.
•
DO NOT install room stations within 10 feet of other room stations, in the same stud
•
cavity as other room stations, or facing each other. This will cause acoustic feedback.

Safety Information and Cautions (Continued)
Important Safety Notes
POWER SOURCE This unit should only be connected to a
110-120 VAC power source as marked on the unit.
GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized
or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the
other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide
blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fi t
into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
NON-USE PERIODS Always turn the unit off and unplug when it is
not being used or left unattended for long periods of time.
OBJECT AND LIQUID ENTRY Never push objects of any kind into the unit through
the cabinet slots as they may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts that
could result in a fi re or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the unit.
CLEANING Unplug the unit from the wall outlet before cleaning or polishing
it. Do not use liquid cleaners, aerosol cleaners, gasoline or other fl ammable
fl uid. Clean the exterior of the unit with a slightly damp cloth.
WATER AND MOISTURE Do not use power line operated units near water - for example, near a
bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, or laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool.
VENTILATION The appliance should be situated so that its location or position does not interfere
with its proper ventilation. For example, the unit should not be situated on a bed, sofa, rug or
placed in a built-in installation that may block the fl ow of air through the ventilation openings.
POWER CORD PROTECTION Power supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely
to be walked on or pinched by items placed upon or against them paying particular attention to
cords at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the appliance.
READ INSTRUCTIONS All the safety and operating instructions
should be read before the product is operated.
RETAIN INSTRUCTIONS The safety and operating instructions
should be retained for future reference.
HEED WARNINGS All warnings on the product and in the
operating instructions should be adhered to.
FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS All operating and use instructions should be followed.
ATTACHMENTS Do not use attachments not recommended by the
product manufacturer as they may cause hazards.
ACCESSORIES Do not place this product on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table.
The product may fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to the
product. Use only with a cart, stand, tripod, bracket or table recommended by the manufacturer,
or sold with the product. Any mounting of the product should follow the manufacturer’s
instructions, and should use a mounting accessory recommended by the manufacturer.
OVERLOADING Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral
convenience receptacles as this can result in a risk of fi re or electric shock.
REPLACEMENT PARTS When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician
has used replacement parts specifi ed by the manufacturer or have the same characteristics as
the original part. Unauthorized substitutions may result in fi re, electric shock, or other hazards.
SAFETY CHECK Upon completion of any service or repairs to this product, ask the service
technician to perform safety checks to determine that the product is in proper operating condition.
WALL OR CEILING MOUNTING The product should be mounted to a
wall or ceiling only as recommended by the manufacturer.
HEAT The product should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat
registers, stoves, or other products (including amplifi ers) that produce heat.

Installation
System Design
Evaluate the installation to determine locations for mounting the
intercom components. The intercom hub mounts in a new or existing
structured wiring enclosure. The DMC-10RS room stations can be
located in any rooms that require communications. DMC-10PS patio
stations are weather resistant and designed to be mounted in protected
areas outdoors. DMC-10DS door stations are also weather resistant and
typically mounted next to the primary visitor entrance and any other
auxiliary entrances. Up to eight stations of any type can be connected
to one DMC-10H hub. An additional DMC-10H hub can be connected to
the primary hub for expansion, increasing the system capacity to sixteen
stations total.
Structured Wiring Enclosure
Linear’s OpenHouse brand Model
H312KIT 12-inch high structured
wiring enclosure is recommended for
mounting the DMC-10H hub. Other
OpenHouse enclosures can also be
used to mount the hub. Enclosures
mount recessed, between wall studs,
or can be surface mounted. Be sure
the enclosure is in a location where
117 VAC power can be routed to the
enclosure by a licensed electrical
contractor for connection to an
outlet in the enclosure.
