Important Information
For your safety
To prevent severe injury and loss of life/property, read this section carefully before using the unit to ensure proper
and safe operation of your unit.
WARNING
Power connection
LUse only the power source marked on the unit. If you are not sure of the type of power supplied to the building,
consult your dealer or local power company.
LUse only the specied power supply unit.
LDo not place objects on the power cable. Install the unit where no one can step or trip on the cable.
LDo not overload power outlets and extension cords. This can result in the risk of re or electric shock.
LCompletely insert the power plug into the power outlet. Failure to do so may cause electric shock and/or
excessive heat resulting in a re.
LRegularly remove any dust, etc. from the power plug by pulling it from the power outlet, then wiping with a dry
cloth. Accumulated dust may cause an insulation defect from moisture, etc. resulting in a re.
LUnplug this unit from power outlets if it emits smoke, an abnormal smell or makes unusual noise. These
conditions can cause re or electric shock. Conrm that smoke has stopped and contact an authorized service
center.
LNever touch the plug with wet hands. Danger of electric shock exists.
LDo not connect a power cable to a terminal that is not specied in this guide. Connecting to the wrong terminal
may cause electric shock and/or excessive heat resulting in a re.
Installation
LLeave installation work to the dealer.
Installation work requires technique and experiences. Failure to observe this may cause re, electric
shock, injury, or damage to the product. Consult the dealer.
LElectrical connection work should be performed by certied personnel only.
Certication is required for performing electrical connection work. Consult your dealer.
LDo not install the product in a place where there is high humidity.
LDo not install the power supply unit in the following places:
– Places where the power supply unit may be splashed with water or chemicals.
– Places where there is a high concentration of dust, or high humidity.
LDo not allow the power cable or power plug to be excessively pulled, bent or placed under heavy objects.
LDo not make any wiring connections when the power supply is turned on.
LNever install wiring during a lightning storm.
LWhen existing wires are used, it is possible that they contain AC voltage. Electric shock or unit damage could
result. Contact an authorized service center.
Operating safeguards
LTo reduce the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble this unit. Refer servicing to an authorized service
center when service is required. Opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltages or other
risks. Incorrect reassembly can cause electric shock when the unit is subsequently used.
LDo not touch the power supply unit/power plug during an electrical storm. There may be a remote risk of
electric shock from lightning.
LNever push any objects through slots in the power supply unit. This may result in the risk of re or electric
shock. Never spill any liquid on the power supply unit.
LUnplug this unit from power outlets and refer servicing to an authorized service center when the following
conditions occur:
A. If the power cable is damaged or frayed.
B. If metal objects have been dropped inside the unit.
C. If the power supply unit has been exposed to rain or water, or liquid has been spilled into the power supply
unit.
D. If the unit has been dropped or physically damaged.

the lower cabinet. (Refer to “Wiring schematic diagram”
on page 10.)
LConnect the wires as follows.
While pressing on the button with a pointed object
such as a screwdriver, insert the wire into the terminal
connector. (To disconnect a wire, press on the button
while pulling out.)
DConnect the upper cabinet cable connector rmly with
the connector on the lower cabinet.
EConnect the AC cable of the power supply unit to a
power outlet (220 V – 240 V AC).
If necessary, adjust the camera angle (page 8).
If necessary, set the speaker volume and backlight
compensation feature (see below).
FPress and hold the PROGRAM switch on the rear of
the upper cabinet for about 2 seconds using a pointed
object such as a pen.
LHold the upper cabinet tight so as not to drop it.
PROGRAM switch
G Slide the upper cabinet downwards and x it to the
lower cabinet.
LTape the cables connected to the upper cabinet to an
appropriate position on the upper cabinet to prevent
them from becoming pinched between the upper
cabinet and lower cabinet.
Resister room numbers and program other settings
(page 12-14).
Set each main monitor station (page 11).
Check the connections to the rooms by calling them from
the lobby station and opening the door of the common
entrance from the main monitor stations (page 15).
H  Screw on the bottom of the upper cabinet to install it to
the lower cabinet.
LConnect the DC cable as follows.
Insert the wire inward securely while pressing the button.

Wiring schematic diagram
Set up correctly according to the following wiring schematic diagrams and “Wire type and distance” (page 11).
20 main monitor stations can be connected to terminals 1 to 20 on the lobby station.
LFor main monitor station system, refer to the operating instructions of the main monitor stations. An example is shown
below.
(Non polar)
*1 Connecting the lobby station to the main monitor stations
LBe sure to perform the following to ensure proper operation:
– Connect terminal D1/D2 of each numbered terminal (1 - 20) on the lobby station to the wire from D1/D2 on the
main monitor station.
– Connect terminal S1/S2 of each numbered terminal (1 - 20) on the lobby station to the wire from S1/S2 on the
main monitor station.
*2 Connecting the lobby station to a door opener (for common entrance)
LBefore connecting to a door opener, make sure that:
– K1/K2 terminal: Normally open/Actively short
– The door opener is less than 30 V AC (1 A), 24 V DC (1 A). Do not connect to a door opener that is more than 30 V AC
(1 A), 24 V DC (1 A), otherwise the unit may be damaged.
– K1/K2 terminal on the lobby station is not the power supply to the door opener. If the door opener needs a power supply
device to connect to the lobby station, contact the dealer where you purchased the door opener.
L After connecting the door opener to the lobby station, conrm that the door can be properly locked/unlocked using the
main monitor station depending on the status of the door opener (page 11).
If you have set a PIN (page 14), conrm that the door can be properly locked/unlocked using the PIN depending on the
status of the door opener (page 15).
