Installation instructions
A) Cable connection
1. Connect the monitor to the camera according to the wiring diagram.
2. Carefully insert the wires to the terminal, taking care that the 2 bare wires do not touch.
B) Installation height
Recommended installation height is approximately 145cm - 160cm for monitor unit and

monitor so that the pins on the bracket engage in the slots on the rear of the monitor,
then pull the monitor down to x the monitor on the wall bracket.
Cable recommendations:
If cable length between monitor and door panel not more than 30m then you can use
4-wire or 6-wire cable with 0,5 sq.mm. area of one wire. If this length exceeds 30m then
you should use coaxial cable for video (for example RG69), all other connections 4-wire
cable can be used.
ATTENTION!
Depending on monitor position in the system (If more that one monitor is used), right
”user code”should be set for every monitor. Main monitor (all cameras and/or door panels
are conected to the main monitor) user code should be set to 1.
Additional monitors should use 2, 3, 4 or 5 user code.
If there is only one monitor in the system, then user code should be set to 1.
Users can change ”User code”in such way: in the main menu touch ”User setup”icon, then
touch ”Installer setup” icon and enter 2412 password on the dialer, then touch ”ok”
button. After that you can touch ”User code” icon and enter proper user code for the
monitor and touch ”ok”button.
Also pay attention to the correct position of the JP/VD jumper on the rear connection
panel of the monitor according schematic diagram.
Attention!
Don't connect powerful devices (such as CCD cameras with infrared backlight) directly
to the power supply of the door panel. It can cause damage to the monitor with
no warranty providing. You should use external power supply for such powerful devices.
Maximum current for the door panel power is 300mA.
