ROGRAMMING
.........................................................
IMPORTANT -
BEFORE permanently installing the DoorCom
™
wireless intercom, you will need to review how you would like the Door-
Com
™
to operate. You will then need to temporarily set-up the system and apply power to the radio. This is necessary to program the
radio and then test the system to confirm you have programmed it correctly.
For example:
•
You will need to decide which DoorCom
™
radio frequency and interference eliminator codes you intend to use.
•
You will need to decide which of the two possible Modes of Operation you intend to use.
•
You will need to decide where you intend to install the R-Series radio transceiver (INDOOR only mounting).
•
Keep in mind, you will need to provide 110VAC to within a few feet of the radio.
•
You will need to decide where you intend to install the RDC-1 speaker intercom box (INDOOR/OUTDOOR).
•
The RDC-1 to radio connecting cable is 20ft. in length.
•
The location of the antenna will also need to be clear of any metal objects and power lines.
•
Keep clearance at least 3 feet in all directions.
