FlatMount Frame for all 

Door Station Modules

Installing the FlatMount Frame

Installation with In-Wall Housing

1.  Lead Cable into the Housing

The housing has several cable inlets. Pierce through the required inlet with, 
for example, a screwdriver. Make sure that you pierce through the inlet that is 
closest to the required cable connection, i.e., use the upper inlet for a two-wire 
cable and the lower for an installation cable.

2. Insert Housing

Prepare the installation opening for the in-wall housing (W x H x D): 

112

 x x 

60 mm

. You can use the reverted housing as a template to mark the opening. 

Lead the cable into the housing. Make sure that the cable is long enough (about 
40 cm/16 in), so that the wires can be connected easily to the FlatMount Frame. 
Excess cable can be stored in the housing by winding it up in a spiral. Insert the 
housing. Connect the in-wall housing in such a way with the underground that 
the front edge of the housing lines up precisely with the housing surface.

Set the protective cardboard cover (included with the delivered 

parts) into the housing before pushing it into the wall cavity. This prevents cement 
from entering the interior of the housing. After you have installed the housing into 
the wall, you can easily remove the carton by pushing through the pre-cut opening 
and pulling it out.

3. Attach FlatMount Frame

The FlatMount Frame has an electromagnetic theft protection, 
which prevents extracting the module. When attaching the frame, 
make sure that the arrow on the red knob (theft protection) points 
at the “open lock” icon and that the frame is positioned in such a 
way that the red knob is on the bottom left corner of the frame.

!

Caution:

 In situations, in which a theft protection is not necessary, e.g., indoor installations, 

do not

 activate the theft protection (the red knob remains in the “open lock” position). 

If you twist the knob by mistake, you have to be able to attach a battery (9 V DC). 
Otherwise, the frame cannot be released!

Position the clamping brackets at the ends of the screws in such a way that the screws are easily led 
past the notches of the housing when you attach the FlatMount Frame. After attaching the frame, 
tighten the screws and make sure that you do not overtighten them. By tightening the screws, the 
clamping brackets automatically engage into the notches of the housing.
