Multifamily house, audio Fig. 2
Retrofitting an ABB-Welcome system in a multifamily house
with existing wiring is very easy. Even a plain bell system
can be converted to audio or video. Depending on the local
circumstances, an installation with recourse to a rising mains,
as shown in Figure 2, is recommended. The wires branch off
on each floor where the existing apartments are located –
to where an audio indoor station with handset is mounted.
There the user can answer incoming calls, open the door and
switch on the lights in the stairwell. Also floor call buttons can
be used. These are connected to the indoor station.
One-family house, audio/video Fig. 1
ABB-Welcome systems consist at least of a system controller,
outdoor station and indoor station. In Fig. 1 three indoor
stations are installed in the one house. When a visitor rings
the bell at the ABB-Welcome video outdoor station, the call
can be answered either at the ABB-WelcomeTouch, at the
ABB-Welcome audio indoor station with display or the ABB-
Welcome audio indoor station with handset.
