Operation
Display elements and operating concept
(Figure 2)
The indoor station video has a display (4) for dis-
playing camera pictures and the device menu.
The underlying control panel has 6 buttons and
a slide control surface. Each of the 6 buttons on
the control panel corresponds to a touch-sensitive
surface. To trigger its function, it needs a push-but-
ton press with tactile feedback. The touch-sensitive
slider (10) responds to horizontal wiping move-
ments.

Information for electricians
Addressing and pre-settings
The device addressing and setting of the operating
modes must already be carried out prior to installa-
tion using the rotary switch and DIP-switch on the
back of the device (Figure 4).

Addressing the device
The indoor station can be addressed quickly and
easily using both address rotary switches (13),
(14). The address to be set is 2-digit, comprising
group address and intercom device address. It
must be identical with the address of the associ-
ated call push-button on the door station. Figure 5
shows the structure of the address by way of
example:
[0 ... F]
[0 ... F]

On the black rotary switch (13) set the group
address [0 ... F].
On the blue rotary switch (14) set the intercom
device address [0 ... F].

A maximum of 3 indoor stations with the iden-
tical address setting may be installed for the
parallel operation.

For door stations with automatic call push-but-
ton addressing also see operating instructions
of the door station. For door stations with
push-button interface/expander see operating
instructions of the interface.
Setting operating mode
Set the DIP-switch for operating modes (15)
according to Table 4.

Installation and electrical connection
The supporting plate (3) must be mounted on the
wall before wiring.
Mounting the supporting plate
A 2-wire bus cable, and if necessary, a connection
cable of the storey push-button are laid to the
mounting location.

Recommended installation height: 1.5 m.
Separate supporting element (16) on the pre-
determined breaking point from the supporting
plate.
For installation on a wall box (Figure 6):
Mount the supporting element (16) onto wall
box so that the smooth surface is pointing
straight ahead and the outer cable tie mounts
(17) are lying on the screw domes of the wall
box.
Pre-align supporting element with 2 screws.

Observe alignment marks.
Drill xing holes and insert dowels.
For both installation modes:
Run the stripped 2-wire bus cable through the
middle opening (18) of the supporting plate.
Also run the connection cable of the associated
storey push-button through.
Mount the supporting plate (3) onto the wall
or wall box with at least 2 screws. Observe
alignment marks.

call.
With the function it is also possible
to enable the camera of the door station that last
called to be switched on via the indoor station
without a door call.
If the checkmark is set, the camera symbol
appears at the bottom right of the start page.
The camera can be switched on manually with
the associated Softkey (8).
If several video door stations or additional
cameras are installed in the same line, it is
possible to toggle between the camera pictures
by pressing repeatedly.
The device is not suitable for video

Searching for cameras
The function starts a search to
determine all additional video cameras installed in


Please note: If this function is called, all current
door cameras will be deleted from the memory
of the indoor station. During the next respective
door call, the door cameras are then reas-
signed.
