Use 6 core cable (14/020) or CAT5 cable between all stations.
Figure 8 cable is required between the Door Station and electric door
latch.
12V DC auxiliary output provided on the master station when door bell
is pressed. Figure 8 cable is required from Master station to auxiliary
device.
Wire each station according to the wiring diagram; follow the colour
codes on each terminal carefully.
Power supply plug pack should be installed as close as possible to the
Master Station in a ventilated and accessible area, for example, in a
cupboard, pantry or wardrobe. The plug pack should never be located
in the roof or under the house.
It is preferred that all system wiring runs back to the Master Station –
“Star Configuration”. If this is not practical, cables can be looped via
Room Stations back to the Master Station.
All wiring should be kept as short as possible. Exceeding 200m of total
wiring may degrade communication quality.
Caution: To avoid electrical interference, be careful not to run
intercom cables near mains cable or through the same ducting or
conduits as mains cable.
Caution: To avoid audio feedback, units should be installed at least 5
metres apart, not in the same room or back to back on a common wall.
Do not install near light dimmers, fan controllers or other radio
interference sources.
If wiring with Category 5 cable, please ensure the twisted pair cables are wired according to
the table below:
