Building Intercom System Details
Main Components:
· Outdoor Main Unit (or Door Station): Used for communication with visitors and controlling access.
· Indoor Extension (or Indoor Unit): Used for receiving visitor information and internal communication.
· Power Supply: Provides the necessary power for the system.
· Controller (if any): Coordinates the operation of various components.
· Access Controller (if any): Controls door locks or electromagnetic locks.
Wiring Plan
Planning the Wiring Path:
· Path Selection: Determine the wiring path from the main unit to each extension, avoiding crossing cables and high-current cables to prevent interference.
· Position Marking: Mark the positions of the main unit, extensions, and controller on the walls.
Selecting Cable Design Types:
· Signal Cables: Usually use shielded twisted pair cables to ensure stable intercom signals.
· Power Cables: If the system requires an independent power supply.
· Video Cables (if the system includes video functionality): Use coaxial cables for video signal transmission.
· Access Control Cables (if any): Use shielded cables to reduce electromagnetic interference.
Wiring Steps:
· Install the Main Unit: Install the main unit at the door location and arrange cables according to the installation instructions.
· Lay out the Cables: Lay cables along the selected path, ensuring sufficient spacing between cables to avoid crossing with other cables.
· Connect Indoor Extensions: Lay cables from the main unit to each indoor extension, connecting signal lines, power lines, and (if available) video lines.
· Integrate Access Controller (if any): Connect the access controller to the main unit and door locks.
Wiring:
· Main Unit and Extensions: Connect the signal cables and power lines to the corresponding ports of the main unit and extensions.
· Access Controller: Connect the signal line of the access controller to the main unit, and connect the door lock to the access controller.
Testing the System:
· Check Connections: Ensure all connections are firm and cables are correctly connected.
· Test Functions: Test the intercom system's call, video display (if any), access control, and other functions to ensure the system works properly.
Points to Note
· Avoid Interference: Arrange intercom phone cable separately from power cables to reduce electromagnetic interference.
· Use Quality Cables: Choose high-quality cables to ensure stable signal transmission and system reliability.
· Consider Future Expansion: Reserve enough space and interfaces during wiring to facilitate future expansion and maintenance.
