Discharge yourself before touching the device.

Installation and wiring
10
Operating Manual DBM40 - 08/2014
IMPORTANT!
Possible damage to property from improper cable routing!
High and low voltage lines must be kept separate to avoid interfer-
ence on the lines.
Surface and concealed wires must be spaced at least 10 cm (4 inches)
apart.
In installation channels, a barrier strip separating high and low volt-
age lines must be used.

5 Programming and operation
5.1 General information
The Display Module Door Station can be programmed for initial use in
various ways:
• on a PC with a data cable connected to the DBM40
• on a PC with a microSD/SDHC card
• on the DBM40 itself using the three buttons
You can program the device from a PC using the DBM40 Editor software.
The software is found on the mini-CD delivered with the device.
An SD card is not included. The following cards can be used:
> microSD cards 8 MB to 2 GB
> microSDHC cards 4 GB to 32 GB
The instructions for programming the device from a PC using the software
are described below.
5.2 Programming the device with DBM40 Editor
The DBM40 Editor can be used to fully manage the display. All settings
as well as the database can be stored in a so-called project le and re-
opened later. Data can be uploaded to the DBM40 via a USB connection
(USB adapter required) or an SD/SDHC card.

Creating a new project
> Start the software by double-clicking the icon.
> Select the language (German/English).
> Click the New button.
A window appears: Would you like to use the Project Wizard?
The Project Wizard makes creating a new project easy by letting you pre-
congure various settings such as the number of entries, prex, last name,
rst name, personal information and project name.
If you choose not to use the Project Wizard, an empty database with a
single entry will appear.
Fig. 7: Creating a new project (with the Project Wizard)
> Fill in the elds for each individual unit by selecting the row for the unit and
changing the entry using the keyboard:
• No. (= memory entry number)
The memory entry number is preassigned by the system. It corre-
sponds to a memory entry on the intercom.
If alphabetical sorting is turned o on the DBM40, the entries will ap-
pear on the device screen in order by their memory entry number.
• Prex
Prex is an optional eld (maximum 16 characters) that appears before
the resident's last name. It can used for titles such as Dr., Mr., Ms., etc.
The Prex eld is ignored in alphabetical sorting.
• Last Name
The Last Name eld is required. The last name may contain up to 24
characters. Note: The 24-character limit is shared between the Prex,
Last Name and First Name elds.
If alphabetical sorting is activated, the entries will be sorted by Last
Name. If alphabetical grouping is activated, entries will be grouped
based on the rst letter of the last name.

Programming and operation
16
Operating Manual DBM40 - 08/2014
• First Name
First Name is an optional eld (maximum 23 characters) that is dis-
played after the last name following a comma. The First Name eld is
ignored in alphabetical sorting.
• Personal Information
Personal Information is an optional eld (maximum 47 characters) for
storing miscellaneous information.
This information can be displayed while a unit is being called as well as
during the conversation. It may include, for instance, the doctor's oce
hours or the times the reception desk is available.
• Unit Information
Unit Information is an optional eld (maximum 47 characters) for stor-
ing miscellaneous information.
This information is displayed whenever the door release is activated.
If the call recipient activates the door release, the door release symbol
appears and Personal Information switches to Unit Information. Unit
Information can be used to tell the visitor how to nd the unit or what
oor it is on.
• Unit No. Unit No. is only important if an optional external keypad is
installed. It contains a maximum of 4 characters and must be unique;
i.e. multiple units cannot be assigned the same number.
If the external keypad is connected, the visitor can call a unit by simply
entering the unit number directly from standby (such as "123") and
pressing the bell symbol, without having to search for the particular
entry in the list.
• Door Code
The door code can be used to trigger the door release and unlock the
door. The door code can only be entered using the external keypad.
The code must be a 4-digit number. For increased security, the door
code is linked to the unit number. For example, if the door code for
Unit 123 is 0815, the full code that must be entered is 1230815.
The door code can be entered while the device is on standby by rst
pressing the C key on the external keypad. The DBM40 will then ask
you to enter the door code. To keep bystanders from seeing the code,
shortly after each key is pressed, the number is replaced by an *. Once
you are done entering the code, press the bell button. The DBM40 will
verify the code and trigger the door release.

Programming and operation

Operating Manual DBM40 - 08/2014
• Active
If an entry is deactivated, it will no longer appear on the list of entries.
However, if a unit number is associated with that entry and an external
keypad is installed, you can still select the entry by entering the unit
number on the keypad. This is useful for residents who do not wish to
have their name publicly displayed.
• Special Entries
Up to three Special Entries may be stored on the DBM40. These entries
will appear at the top of the list (regardless of whether alphabetical
sorting is activated). For example, if you want "Main Oce" to always
be listed rst, you can make Main Oce a Special Entry.
To do so, enter "!1", "!2" or "!3" in the Prex eld. Each of these des-
ignations may appear only once on the list. The number next to the
exclamation point indicates the priority of the entry. If the Prex eld
contains a Special Entry designation, it may not contain any other
information. "!1" will appear as the rst entry on the list.
You can add or delete entries by clicking the +or -buttons.
Note:
A last name must be entered for each entry. This eld may not be left
blank.
You can also congure the following settings from this menu:
Fig. 8: Additional menu settings
• Activate/deactivate all entries

Data synchronization
Data can be synchronized via a USB connection or SD/SDHC card. A USB
connection is recommended.
Because of the large amount of data, the USB connection is divided into
three sections: Database, Conguration and Image.
Fig. 9: Data synchronization
• Read Database [USB]
This button establishes a USB connection to the DBM40 and reads the
entries from the database.
• Send Database [USB]
This button establishes a USB connection to the DBM40 and overwrites
the existing entries on the DBM40 with the entries from the DBM40
Editor.
• Read Conguration [USB]
This button establishes a USB connection to the DBM40 and reads the
conguration settings.
• Send Conguration [USB]
This button establishes a USB connection to the DBM40 and overwrites
the existing conguration with the settings from the DBM40 Editor.
• Read Image [USB]
This button establishes a USB connection to the DBM40 and reads the
standby image (if there is one).
Note:
It may take up to 15 minutes to transfer the image depending on the size.

• Send Image [USB]
This button establishes a USB connection to the DBM40 and sends the
new standby image.
Note:
It may take up to 15 minutes to transfer the image depending on the size.
• Send [SD card]
This button saves the database, conguration and standby image to an
SD/SDHC card.
You can use this card to import and apply the data via the Service
menu on the DBM40.
• Read [SD card]
This button reads the database, conguration and standby image for
the DBM40 from an SD/SDHC card. However, you must rst synchro-
nize the card with the DBM40. You can do this from the Service menu
on the DBM40 under "Manage Database."
Saving and opening a project
The project can be saved and re-opened later.
> In the Database eld, enter a name for the project, such as "DBM40_Sam-
ple".
> Click Save.
You can now select the location on the hard drive where you would
like to save the project. The project will be stored there under the name
you entered plus the le extension .prj. The project le contains the
complete database, conguration and standby image.
> To open a saved project, click Open. Select the project le you wish to
open. The project is loaded and can be further edited.
