System Overview 

The dmc3-4 is a retrofit system designed to use your existing intercom wiring and  
consists of three major components: 

• 

Master Station 

• 

Room/Patio Station—You can install up to 9 Room Stations in individual zones, 

1

Room Stations in shared zones on a 4-wire (M&S Systems retrofit) installation and 
13 Room Stations in shared zones on a 3-wire (NuTone retrofit), including

 2

 Patio 

Stations. 

• 

Door Station—You can install up to 3 Door Stations.  

Master Station 

The Master Station gives you control over the system intercom and music capabilities. 
System setup is established at the master. These settings include: set the clock and 
establish music auto on/off times, select the system music source, save preset radio 
stations, set the scan mode, and activate the RF Remote. System volume, loudness, 
treble, bass, and balance (with optional amplifier) can also be controlled from the  
dmc3-4 master. Intercom functionality for each Room/Patio Station is established at the 
master by setting the intercom selector switches. Each room station can be set to 
Intercom Only, Radio and Intercom, Off, or Monitor.  
The dmc3-4 provides the ability to monitor other stations and communicate with Door 
Stations. System functionality can also be established to provide Security and Home 
Automation features.
