or door to open. See pages 5-7.

providing high quality cabling such as CAT5 is used.
Up to two Door Phones (Models DP1 to DP5) can be connected to the

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 all electronic components.
IfDP5isexposedtodirectrain,westronglyrecommendthatyouuseour
optional DPC3 Door Phone Cover, or the SMK3 Surface Mounting Kit
which has a rain deflector, to minimise the chance of water permeating
intotheDP5unitandcausingunreliabilityorpremature failure.Bothare
available for use with DP5’s mounted Vertically or Horizontally.
If DP5 will be exposed to very high levels of rain (or sea spray if near the
ocean),thenyoushoulduseourExtremeWeatherCoverXWC3.Seepage

MOUNTING THE DOOR PHONE
DP5 should be mounted at the average face height of
1.5 metres (5 feet) for optimum performance.
The main body of the DP5 unit is designed
to be recessed into a wall surface.
It can also be surface mounted if the
optional SMK3-V or SMK3-H kit is used.
To speed up Flush Mount installations, a
WMB3 ‘Wall Mount box’ is supplied with
your DP5.
The galvanised iron WMB3 is designed to
be recessed into a wall cavity.
DP5 is then screwed onto the WMB3,
using 2 supplied stainless steel mounting
screws.
When using the WMB3, you must allow for a recessed area
of : H 255mm, W 95mm, D 40mm
or : H 95mm, W 255mm, D 40mm

BALANCE POT ADJUSTMENT
Your DOOR PHONE is preset at the factory for maximum performance. Our
sophisticated circuitry is designed to measure the background noise present
at your site and then apply maximum gain.
In most cases you SHOULD NOT NEEDTO MAKEANYADJUSTMENTS.
If you are using Two Door Phones, it is possible that you will need to adjust
the POT of one or both Door Phones to suit your specific site conditions.
The balance POT is provided in case you experience one of the following :
• Audio is distorted.
• Audio (speech) can only be heard in 1 direction.
Should you encounter one of these problems, you will need to make slow
careful adjustments in one direction or the other until speech can be heard
in both directions and without distortion.
The balance POT is located on the back of DOOR PHONE under a small
removable white plastic plug. It should be adjusted using a small flat blade
screwdriver.
IMPORTANT NOTES
1) You will require TWO PEOPLE to adjust your Door Phone.
2) Wait 10 seconds after answering before adjusting the Pot.
3) DO NOT USEA TELEPHONE IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE DOOR
PHONE, as feedback interference will affect the Balance Pot settings.
4)TheBalancePOT does not increase volume. Moving it when unnecessary
may cause a deterioration in audio quality or a loss of audio in 1 direction.
