INTERCOM MASTER STATION INSTALLATION

The dmc1 Master Station connects to the room, patio, and Door Station wires at the wall housing location. All other connections to the Master Station are also made at the wall housing location.

To ensure good electrical and mechanical connections, and to avoid service call-backs, refer to the following steps and the associated ﬁgures when terminating wires. Stations are supplied with screw-down Cat-5 connectors, press-on type Cat-5 connectors may also be included.

Screw-down Connector Cable Termination

1.Gather all room, patio, and Door Station cables together and cut them to the same length leaving approximately 12 inches entering into the wall housing. BE SURE THAT THE CABLES REMAIN LABELED.

✔IMPORTANT: Verify all cable run locations prior to connecting if they were not labeled at rough-in. Incorrectly connecting cables to the Master Station, Room Stations, or Door Stations may result in system damage.

2.Strip back the outer insulation jacket of the room and Patio Station Cat-5 cables 2 inches to expose the four color coded twisted wire pairs inside. Strip back each of the eight wires 1/4” maximum (see Figure 8).

3.Observing the color code label on the connector, insert a wire pair (solid color wire and wire with the same color stripe) completely into the connector terminal holes (see Figure 9). TO PREVENT SHORTS, BE SURE THE WIRES ARE COMPLETELY INSERTED.

4.Tighten the connector terminal screws to secure the wire pair. Repeat Steps 4 & 5 for the other three colored wire pairs.

5.Repeat Steps 2-4 for each of the Cat-5 cables.
