2.5 Wiring Diagrams
Network cabling
, also known as Ethernet or data cabling is most commonly used in a new installation where no
existing cable is installed.
2-Wire
is used when there is existing cable installed at the premises, and the old intercom or doorbell is being replaced.
2-Wire cable needs to be a minimum of 24 strand, 0.20mm in size. The cable needs to have 2 insulated conductors.
4-core or 6-core cable can be used, but you must ensure only 2 cores of the cable are connected. Doubling up the
pairs will cause an unreliable connection due to the way the data is transmitted. Maximum cable distance is 100m.
One Key Configuration is not available on 2-Wire intercom devices, manual configuration is required see section 4 for
details.
