Checklist
The following checklist is a summary of what is required. Refer to the relevant pages for
further details.
● Review the section headed „Safety Information‟ on page 47.
● Ensure that „Design Considerations‟ on page 9 have been understood.
● Confirm that Cat5 cable has been specified.
● Install the system according to instructions in this section.
● Check/set the door controller settings.
● Check/set the video controller jumper and switch settings.
● Check/set each apartment station dip-switch settings.
Wiring
Refer to the diagrams from page 33 onwards as appropriate for the equipment you have.
All wiring is carried out using a mixture of Cat5 for the signal wiring and 1mm² (or greater)
cores for the power wiring; refer to Page 12 for further details. It is strongly recommended
that a consistent colour code be used throughout such as that indicated on the connection
diagram. Certain signals must be interconnected using a twisted pair from the Cat5 cable.
These are clearly marked on the connection diagram and should be strictly observed.
Entrance Panel
The panel should be mounted at an optimum height of 1.6 m, measured between the
ground and the centre of the camera window. With flush mounting panels it is advisable to
apply mastic to the top and side edges of the panel to prevent water
ingress behind the panel, but not to the bottom edge. On construction
sites the panel must be protected from corrosive substances such as
„brick acid‟. The panel should be cleaned only with a damp cloth
containing dilute detergent.
