DESCRIPTION
This User Guide describes the installation and operating instructions of our
DS2 model DOOR STATION Controller, which is designed to connect to a
Specially designed Door Phone (see page 4), when used on an ordinary PSTN
residential telephone line.
Your DS2 Controller is completely TRANSPARENT in operation, so it will not
affect the normal operation of your telephone line in any way. It is designed to
RING all of your Normal Telephones when a visitor presses the Call Button of
the attached Door Phone. You need only Answer ANY Ringing Telephone to
converse with your visitor.
Model DS2 can also be used at sites which DO NOT USE A TELEPHONE
LINE. There is no requirement to have a LINE IN connection to DP2. Model
DP2 (Like models DS1 and DS3) outputs a ‘simulated telephone line’ via it’s
LINE OUT port which will allow ordinary telephones, including Cordless
Telephones to operate as Intercom Handsets. When used in conjunction with
Cordless Handsets, this results in extreme flexibility and save the considerable
costs of using (and cabling) multiple dedicated Intercom handsets.
DS2 can also be fitted to a PSTN TRUNK (used or unused) of any Multi-Line
PBX telephone system. See pages 16-17 for further details.
ONE or TWO Door Phones can be connected to the DS2 unit. They must be
connected in parallel with each other. Either Door Phone can trigger a Door
Phone call. If you use TWO Door Phones connected in parallel, then Audio will
be present at both Door Phones at the same time.
If you wish to operate 2 completely separate Door Phone zones, when using 2
Door Phones, you can do so by fitting an additional Model DS1 or DS2
Controller (depending whether the 2nd zone needs separate Lock Control) on
the same telephone line. In this situation, each Door Phone will then have
separate audio communication. This is our recommended solution.
Once correctly installed, DS2 will RING your all of telephones that are
connected to it as soon as it is activated by a visitor pressing the Call Button of
the attached Door Phone.

DS2 will work with both Corded and Cordless Phones. A small number of
Older Cordless Telephones may not ring differently as they are designed to
ignore the incoming ring pattern and output their own ring. For this reason,
your unit can be set to output FIVE quick ‘beep’ tones (advice tones)
immediately after answer, to advise you that the incoming call is from your
Door Phone.
OPERATION WITHOUT A TELEPHONE LINE
DS2 will also work WITHOUT connection of a Telephone Line. In this situation,
leave the Line Input port of DS2 vacant (see the diagram below).
DS2 will ring all attached telephones as normal. This will suit the many users
that no longer use a fixed telephone line. The diagram below shows a wiring
diagram used when a Single Lock Control relay is being used.

If your Door Phone is not under cover, a Strong Transparent DOOR PHONE
COVER is highly recommended to prevent water from gradually permeating
through to the electronics of the Door Phone. RRP is just $US25.00.
Model DPC1 for DP1 Door Phone
Model DPC2 for DP2 Door Phones
Model DPC3 for DP4, DP5 Door Phones
You can alternatively use one of our Surface Mounting Kits which provides a
Rain deflector. See below.
SURFACE MOUNTING KITS
Stainless Steel (304) Surface Mounting Kits are available for all Model DP2 to

surface, rather than into it.
Two separate surface mounting kits are available, to cater for the different
sized DP2-DP5 Door Phones:

Model SMK3 for DP4, DP5 Door Phones

OPERATION SUMMARY
When a visitor at your door or gate presses the call button on your NATCOMM
Door Phone, DS2 will ring all of the telephones connected to your line up to 10
times (the number of rings can be changed).
By simply answering any ringing telephone on your line, you will be
immediately connected direct to your visitor, so that you can converse with
them.
If you have an ELECTRIC LOCK fitted, you can release it (open it) by pressing
** on your telephone.
If you are already on a telephone call and the Door Phone is activated by a
visitor, you will be alerted with a tone.
You can place your existing call 'ON HOLD' and switch to the DOOR PHONE
at your door or gate by pressing ## on your telephone.
You can return to the telephone call by pressing ## on your telephone.
If there is an incoming telephone call while you are on a DOOR PHONE call,
you will be alerted with a tone.
You can place your existing call 'ON HOLD' and switch to the telephone call by
pressing ## on your telephone.

INSTALLATION FOR CORDLESS PHONE USERS
If you operate a Single Cordless Phone Base Station only, with 1 or more
handsets, then installation is very easy. See the Diagrams on pages 7-8.
1. Unplug the Base Station Telephone Cable from the Telephone Socket.
2. Connect this cable to the LINE OUT Port of DS2.
3. Connecting the LINE IN port of DS2 to the telephone using a supplied cable.
Installation by a technician is not required.
4. Arrange for a Suitable Qualified Technician to install your Door Phone in the
required location, following the Instructions supplied with the Door Phone.
MULTI SOCKET USE INSTALLATION
Installation is required by a Suitably Qualified Technician
Where you will operate cordless or corded telephones connected to more than
One telephone socket, an approved installation technician will need to fit your
DS2 direct onto your incoming telephone line, immediately ahead of your first
telephone socket, so that your telephone line connects to all of your telephone
sockets through it. See diagram on page 9.
DS2 has been designed so that it will not interfere with the normal use of your
telephone line in any way. In the event of a malfunction or power cut, your
telephone line will continue to operate.
Your DS2 unit should be fitted inside the home or office. If it is fitted outside
next to the Door Phone, then it MUST be fitted within a Water Proof enclosure.
These instructions are for suitably qualified Installation Technicians.
1) Locate the FIRST telephone socket on the line. Fit a New Telephone
socket next to it, or alternatively replace the Existing Telephone socket
with a Double Outlet RJ type telephone socket.
