EXTERNAL MUSIC SOURCE
The dmc1 Master Station can play audio from an external
source. The Model AWP (white) or Model AWPA (almond)
Audio Input Wall Plate features two stereo pairs of RCA
jacks that can be connected to a stereo receiver, television,
DVD, or portable music player.
1. At the location for the audio input wall plate, access
the left and right audio cables that were routed
to the J-box during the system rough-in.
2. Connect the RCA plugs to each of the RCA jacks on the rear of
the AWP wall plate. Two “Y” adapters (not supplied) can be used to
combine the two left and two right line level input jacks on the AWP
wall plate so the homeowner can use either pair of input jacks.
3. Tuck the cables into the J-box and mount the AWP audio input
wall plate to the J-box using the two screws provided.
INTERCOM MASTER STATION INSTALLATION
The dmc1 Master Station connects to the room, patio, and
Door Station wires at the wall housing location. All other
connections to the Master Station are also made at the wall
housing location.
To ensure good electrical and mechanical connections, and
to avoid service call-backs, refer to the following steps and
the associated fi gures when terminating wires. Stations are
supplied with screw-down Cat-5 connectors, press-on type
Cat-5 connectors may also be included.
Screw-down Connector Cable Termination
1. Gather all room, patio, and Door Station cables together
and cut them to the same length leaving approximately
12 inches entering into the wall housing. BE SURE
THAT THE CABLES REMAIN LABELED.
✔ IMPORTANT: Verify all cable run locations prior to connecting if they
were not labeled at rough-in. Incorrectly connecting cables to the Master
Station, Room Stations, or Door Stations may result in system damage.
2. Strip back the outer insulation jacket of the room and
Patio Station Cat-5 cables 2 inches to expose the four
color coded twisted wire pairs inside. Strip back each
of the eight wires 1/4” maximum (see Figure 8).
3. Observing the color code label on the connector, insert a wire pair
(solid color wire and wire with the same color stripe) completely
into the connector terminal holes (see Figure 9). TO PREVENT
SHORTS, BE SURE THE WIRES ARE COMPLETELY INSERTED.
4. Tighten the connector terminal screws to secure the wire pair.
Repeat Steps 4 & 5 for the other three colored wire pairs.
5. Repeat Steps 2-4 for each of the Cat-5 cables.
