DESCRIPTION
Our Model DP5 Flush Mount Door Phone is specifically designed for connection to
a National Communications DOOR STATION CONTROLLER.
It can be FLUSH MOUNTED or SURFACE MOUNTED if the optional SMK3-V
Surface Mount Unit is used.
When a visitor presses the Touch Sensitive BELL symbol of DP5, it will command
the Door Station controller to ring all telephones on the telephone line. The user
can then communicate with the visitor by answering any ringing telephone.
When used with a Door Station controller fitted to an analogue extension of a
PABX (or if using an IP Phone System, when using an FXS port or an ATA
Analogue Telephone Adaptor), the call will be connected to internal extensions or
an external number as required. The user can then communicate with the visitor
by answering any ringing telephone.
DP5 also incorporates a Touch Sensitive Numeric Keypad that will allow a user to
enter a specific 4 to 6 digit code, which will cause an electric gate or door to open.
DP5 incorporates 2 internal Dry Contact Relays (rated at 1A) which can be used
to independently control 2 separate electric doors or gates.
DP5 has a 316 Marine Grade Stainless Steel fascia plate, which has been coated
with a tough transparent protective polymer material.
DP5 can operate at distances of up to 300 meters from the Controller, providing
high quality cabling such as CAT5 is used.
Up to two Door Phones (Models DP1 to DP5) can be connected to the one DOOR
STATION CONTROLLER. This allows for a Door Phone to be located at two
different locations. In this situation, the Door Phone devices are connected in
parallel (see wiring connection).
If you plan to use Two Door Phones, they can be connected in Two separate
ways. Please refer to page 27 for details

RAIN PROTECTION
DP5’s are not WATER PROOF
DP5 is designed to be highly WEATHER RESISTANT and will prove reliable over
long periods of time, providing it is not exposed to direct rain.
DP5’s Touch Switch technology eliminates the possibility of water entering via the
trigger switch or keypad.
DP5’s speaker is made of a plastic mylar material and great effort has been taken to
maximise weather proofing of all electronic components.
If DP5 is exposed to direct rain, we strongly recommend that you use our optional
DPC3-V Door Phone Cover, or the SMK3-V Surface Mounting Kit which have rain
deflectors, to minimise the chance of water permeating into the DP5 unit and causing
unreliability or premature failure.

MOUNTING THE DOOR PHONE
DP5 should be mounted at the average face height of 5 feet ( 1.5meter) for
optimum performance.
The main body of the DP5 unit is designed to be recessed
into a wall surface.
To speed up Flush Mount installations, a WMB-3 ‘Wall Mount
box’ is supplied with your DP5.
The Galvanised iron WMB-3 is designed to be recessed into a
wall cavity.
DP5 is then screwed onto the WMB-3, using 2 supplied stainless
steel mounting screws
When using the WMB3, you must allow for a recessed area of:
H 10.0in W 3.8in, D 1.6in or H 255mm, W 95mm, D 40mm

DOOR PHONE PERFORMANCE
DP5 is IDEAL for RESIDENTIAL USE or COMMERCIAL USE, where ROAD NOISE
is NOT HIGH.
It is not designed for INDUSTRIAL USE where ambient noise can be constantly
high.
The volume of the audio communication on the internal phones should be
comfortably audible (a similar level to a telephone call) providing :
 The person at the Door Phone is talking directly towards the Door Phone
and at a distance of no more than 1 to 2 feet away (max 500-600 mm).
 The Door Phone is mounted at a height of about 1.5 meters (5 feet). You
can mount at a lower level to allow for very young children, but volume will
suffer.
 No plates or other material are placed over the front face of the Door
phone. Our Door Phone Cover accessory, or a properly designed Rain
Hood will not affect performance.
The volume of the audio communication at the Door Phone should be
comfortably audible, providing:
 There is not excessive road noise or other noise near the Door Phone.
This will affect the automatic gain circuit used in this device.
 That high quality ADSL FILTERING is fitted ahead of the DS CONTROL-
LER where ADSL is used on the same line. If you do not do so, volume in
both directions will be affected. Refer to your Door Station Controller User
Guide for detailed information on the use of ADSL with this product.

DOOR PHONE WIRING
Four wires connect between your DS Controller unit and the DP5 Door Phone.
You must use solid core telephone cable, such as CAT5 cabling to interconnect
between the DS Controller and the Door Phone.
There is a 4 position Phoenix Style press in connector socket on the rear of the
Door Phone, to which you connect the Audio and Power signals.
A connection box with 8 screw terminals is supplied (see page 8), which connects
to the DS CONTROLLER via a short (supplied) RJ to RJ cable. The connection box
provides easy screw terminal access to all connections of the DS Controller. You
can also use a standard Cat 5 cable with RJ45 plugs to connect the connection box
the DS Controller unit, should you wish to position it close the Door Phone.
The interface box is also used to connect one leg of the power supply for One or
Two Lock Strikes (used for Pedestrian Lock/Gate access) to the One or Two
internal relays of the DS Control Unit. You should also connect one leg of the
internal relay of DP5 (or one leg of both relay’s if required) to the same terminals of
the connection box. See diagram page 11.
Each screw terminal provides a separate connection to the DS controller, as indicated
on page 8. The colours referred to in our diagrams are those of the wires inside the
connection box..
Two wires are required for the AUDIO signal and Two
wires are used to provide POWER to the unit.
The Audio signal connects to the center Two positions of
the socket.
The Power input connects to the outside Two positions of
the socket.
See page 10 for additional details.

DOOR PHONE WIRING
Solid core cable such as CAT5 should be used to connect between the Connection
box and the DP5 unit.
DOOR PHONE AUDIO & POWER Connection
At DP5, the supplied 4 position phoenix plug that plugs into DP5 should be wired as
follows :
The RED WIRE of the connection box, carries one leg of the Audio Signal. It must
connect to EITHER centre position (pin 2 or 3) of the supplied Phoenix plug.
Note - Polarity is not important.
The GREEN WIRE of the connection box, carries the other leg of the Audio Signal.
It must connect to EITHER centre position (pin 2 or 3) of the supplied Phoenix plug.
Note - Polarity is not important.
The BLACK WIRE of the connection box, carries one leg of the 12V Power input. It
must connect to EITHER outer position (pin 1 or 4) of the Phoenix plug.
Note - Polarity is not important.
The YELLOW WIRE of the connection box, carries one leg of the 12V Power input.
It must connect to EITHER outer position (1 or 4) of the Phoenix plug.
Note - Polarity is not important.
Where Two Door Phones are to be used, they should both connect to the
same contacts of the interface box (ie: parallel connection). See page 27
for Important Information
BYPASS CONNECTION BOX
If you don’t plan to use Lock Control, you can bypass the connection box by
connecting your CAT5 cable direct to the DS Control unit and Door Phone, as
follows:
AUDIO CONNECTION (polarity is not important)
The centre 2 pins of the DS Controller RJ socket need to
connect to the centre 2 positions of the 4 pin Phoenix socket.
POWER CONNECTION (polarity is not important)
The 2 pins either side of the centre 2 pins of the DS Controller socket connect to the
2 outer positions of the 4 pin Phoenix socket.
