System Components Overview

Required Components

The following three components (in addition to a suitable power transformer or

power distribution module) are required in order to have a functional Cat 5

Intercom System.

Intercom Module: This module is installed in a Greyfox Enclosure and can be

considered the “brains” of the system. All other Room Units, Door Units, and the

Main Console Unit are connected directly to this module via “home run” Cat 5

cabling.The module also supplies power to the entire Cat 5 Intercom System.

This module is the only component of the system that requires an appropriate

power transformer or power distribution module.

Main Console Unit: In addition to providing typical intercom features found

with Room Units, this unit includes a bank of status LEDs which show, at a

glance, which Room Units are talking, muted, or in monitor mode. It also includes

a dedicated door release button (functional only if a door release device is

installed), and talk hands free button. Only one Main Console Unit, per system,

can be installed.

Room Unit: This unit provides basic intercom communication functions such as

talk, talk to door (if Door Unit is installed), monitor, and mute. Up to 12 room

units can be installed per system.

Optional Components

The following components are optional to the Cat 5 Intercom System.When

added, these components will enable communications with visitors to the home.

Door Unit: This unit allows a visitor to the home to press the door chime

button on the unit to notify the occupants of their presence (requires Door

Chime to be installed).The occupants can then initiate two way communication

with the visitor and open the door (requires door release device, not included).

Door Chime: This component installs as an add-on to the Intercom Module. It

enables a chime to be heard on all units speakers throughout the Cat 5 Intercom

System. Without this component, no chime will be heard through the system.

Minimum cable rating: Category 5 UTP, 4 pair solid conductors (24 AWG),

100 ohm, 100 Mhz, General Purpose (CM), UL listed

Maximum length per run: 325 feet

Termination standard:T568A

Terminating plug type (where necessary): Solid Conductor RJ45

Terminating block type (where available): 110-style IDC

Wiring Guidelines

• Do not exceed 25 lbs. of force when pulling cable.

• Do not splice cables.

• Do not staple cables. Use wire ties with screw mounts to loosely secure

cabling.

• Avoid running Cat 5 cable parallel to 120V/240V AC wiring or fixtures within

12 inches.

• Avoid “ganging” any intercom unit with a lighting dimmer switch. Maintain at

least 12 inches of separation from dimmer switches.

• If you must cross AC wiring, do so at 90 degree angles and maintain at least

2 inches of separation.

• Maintain a minimum 1” bend radius.

• Do not untwist Cat 5 conductors more than 1/2” at any termination point.

• Keep cables away from objects such as HVAC ducts, and anything with sharp

edges that could damage cables.

• Clearly label all cabling runs at both ends. Use the distance between your hand

and your elbow as a guide to determine how far from the end of the cable run

to label.

Intercom Unit PlacementTips

Carefully plan the placement of Room Units and the Main Console Unit before

rough-in to avoid any feedback issues that are associated with audio devices.

• To minimize the likelihood of any feedback issues avoid placing units back to

back on a common wall. If units must be placed on both sides of a common

wall then do so in a manner which avoids feedback problems.

• Do not place intercom units within the same room in the home.

• Avoid any situations where the speaker of a unit points to and has a clear line

of sight to another unit’s microphone.

Termination Instructions

All termination can be correctly completed by following the T568A pin

assignments. It is important that you accurately terminate using T568A at all

locations.There are two different types of terminations you will encounter when

installing the Cat 5 Intercom System: RJ45 plugs and 110 punchdown blocks.

Refer to the diagrams below which show the correct T568A termination

for both RJ45 plugs and 110 punchdown blocks.

The rough-in of the system should be completed during the construction phase

of the home and prior to the installation by the home builder of any wall

covering such as drywall.The following section will instruct you on the proper

methods to pre-wire your cable and rough-in the opening for the various Cat 5

Intercom System components.

Main Console Unit

The procedure to rough-in the Main Console Unit is as follows:

• Since the Main Console Unit provides status LEDs for monitoring of the entire

intercom system, it is recommended that this unit is installed where it is most

likely to be used most.Traditionally in most homes, this unit is installed in the

kitchen area.Verify the location with the homeowner before proceeding.

• The Main Console Unit mounts in a standard 3 gang electrical box.The use of

an enclosed box rather than an open mud ring will help minimize the potential

for feedback between units.

• Any UL approved metal or plastic gang box can be used.

• To avoid damage from debris during construction or after construction, use a

gang box that will completely enclose the unit.

• The 3 gang box should be installed at the same height as the electrical switch

boxes in the home.

• A total of TWO Cat 5 runs are required to operate the Main Console Unit.

• Run TWO Cat 5 cable runs from the 3 gang box directly to the enclosure

where the Intercom Module will be installed.You must label both ends of the

cable runs for the Main Console Unit to ensure proper termination during the

trim-out. Label one cable “Main 1” and the other cable “Main 2”. Follow the

wiring guidelines listed in this manual to ensure a quality cable installation.

Room Unit(s)

The procedure to rough-in the Room Unit(s) is as follows:

• Typically the Room Unit(s) will be installed on the same wall as the door to the

room.Verify each Room Unit location with the homeowner before proceeding.

Avoid installing Room Units in the same stud cavity on opposite sides of the

wall to prevent feedback problems.

• The Room Unit mounts in a standard 2 gang electrical box.The use of an

enclosed box rather than an open mud ring will help minimize the potential for

feedback between units.

• Any UL approved metal or plastic gang box can be used.

• To avoid damage from debris during construction or after construction, use a

gang box that will completely enclose the unit.

• The 2 gang box should be installed at the same height as the electrical switch

boxes in the home.

• ONE Cat 5 run is required to operate the Room Unit.

• Run ONE Cat 5 cable from the 2 gang box directly to the enclosure where the

Intercom Module will be installed. Label both ends of your cable run to indicate

Room Unit number (ex:“Room Unit 5). Follow the wiring guidelines listed in

this manual to ensure a quality cable installation.

• Repeat these instructions for each and every room unit that will be installed in

the system (maximum of 12).

Door Unit(s)

The procedure to rough-in the Door Unit(s) is as follows:

• Typically the Door Unit(s) will be installed on the exterior of the home next to

an entrance door, where you would normally find a standard doorbell.Verify the

Door Unit(s) location(s) with the homeowner before proceeding.

• Since the Door Unit will most likely be installed on the exterior of the home

and will be exposed to weather conditions, these instructions must be followed

to ensure a quality installation.

Brick or other cement-based material exteriors:

• The recommended box to use is a 2 gang outdoor weatherproof box.This

box should be of the type that is made of heavy die-cast aluminum. Using a

heavy die-cast aluminum box will provide adequate strength in a brick or

cement-based exterior.

Vinyl or wood based siding material exteriors:

• If possible, use a heavy duty die-cast aluminum 2 gang box if it can be

securely mounted to the interior framing. If this is not possible then it is

recommended that you use a heavy duty metal 2 gang box that can be

securely mounted to the interior framing of the home.

• To ensure the 2 gang box that will be used to house the Door Unit is roughed

in correctly, communication with the building contractor who is responsible for

the exterior finish of the home is highly recommended.

Brick or other cement-based material exteriors:

• The masonry contractor must be provided with specific instructions as to

how the 2 gang box should be installed including location, correct

positioning, and proper depth.

• If possible, clearly mark this information on the home’s exterior insulation

board or vapor barrier material to serve as a reminder to the mason.

• The correct positioning of the 2 gang box may not be obvious to the

masonry contractor. Ensure that the masonry contractor knows which

edge of the box is up and which edge is down so that the Door Unit can

be installed in the correct vertical position.

• The 2 gang box should be installed by the masonry contractor so that it

protrudes slightly from the face of the brick.The box should protrude no

less than 1/8” but no more than 1/4” from the face of the brick.

Vinyl or wood based siding material exteriors:

• The 2 gang box can be roughed in to the exterior of the home by first

cutting an opening through the exterior base material of the home that is

slightly larger than your 2 gang box.

• The 2 gang box should then be securely mounted to the interior framing of

the exterior wall and protrudes through the exterior wall at a depth that

will need to be determined based on the type of siding that will finish the

outside of the wall.

• Ideally, you would want the siding contractor to use flashing and make use

of J-channel around the perimeter of the Door Unit and 2 gang box to

provide an attractive and weatherproof siding installation. Siding

contractors should use flashing and J-channel around the perimeter of the

Door Unit just as they would with a window.

• Communication with the siding contractor is highly recommended to

ensure a smooth installation.

• ONE Cat 5 run is required to operate the Door Unit.

• Run ONE Cat 5 cable from the 2 gang box directly to the enclosure where the

Intercom Module will be installed. Label both ends of your cable run to indicate

Door Unit number (ex:“Door Unit 1). Follow the wiring guidelines listed in this

manual to ensure a quality cable installation.

• Repeat these instructions for each and every Door Unit that will be installed in

the system (maximum of 3).

Please Note: Up to three Door Units can be installed.The installation of

a third Door Unit requires that you use the RJ45 jack that is labeled

12/DOOR 3.This will reduce the maximum number of Room Units that

can be installed from 12 to 11.

Intercom Module and Door Chime

The rough-in of the Greyfox Enclosure that will house the Intercom Module and

Door Chime will need to be completed per the enclosure’s installation

instructions.There is no further rough-in work required for the Intercom Module

and the Door Chime since these components will mount directly in the Greyfox

Enclosure during trim-out.

Please Note: The Door Chime mounts onto the Intercom Module and

does not require its own, separate module bay.

The trim-out of the system should be completed after wall coverings have been

finalized.The following section will instruct you on the proper methods to finish

the installation of the various Cat 5 Intercom System components.

Main Console Unit

The procedure to trim-out the Main Console Unit is as follows:

• Locate the Cat 5 cable in the roughed in 3 gang box that you labeled as

“Main 1”.

• Strip back approximately 2” of insulation from the Cat 5 cable.

• Untwist cable pairs but be sure to leave 1/2” twist in the pairs between the

punchdown block and the start of the cable insulation.

• As shown in the diagram below, the Cat 5 cables must be terminated so that

the cable is routed to the punchdown block from the center of the unit to the

outside punchdown blocks.This will ensure that the unit can be installed into

the gang box while maintaining proper bend radius.

• Following T568A wiring color code, place the pairs firmly into their appropriate

positions on the punchdown block labeled “TO MAIN 1”. Ensure that the

individual conductors are seated tightly enough to allow you to punch them

down without having to hold them in place.

• Using a punchdown tool with a 110 style cutting blade, punch down each

conductor firmly enough to allow any excess conductor to be cut away by the

blade.

The following section explains the various functions and operational features of

each component of the Cat 5 Intercom System.

Main Console Unit

The Main Console Unit acts as the central point of communication in the Cat 5

Intercom System.The Main Console Unit utilizes LEDs to show all room activity

among other enhanced intercom features.

STATUS LEDS - Each LED indicates the status of each Room Unit in the system.

A GREEN light indicates that the Room Unit’s Talk or Door button are currently

depressed and someone is talking with the unit.A RED light indicates that the

Room Unit is in Mute mode and that all speaker and microphone functions of

the unit are disabled.An

ORANGE light indicates

that the unit is in

MONITOR mode and its

microphone is currently

active.

TALK - Depressing this

button will allow you to

communicate with all

other active units. Hold in

the TALK button while

speaking and let it go

when you are done.Your

voice will be heard on any

active Room Unit within the system.

DOOR - Depressing this button will allow you to communicate with all Door

Units that are a part of your system. Hold in the DOOR button while speaking

and let it go when you are done.Your voice will be heard on any active Room

Unit and all Door Units within the system.

ANSWER LED - This LED is located at the top of the keypad of the Main

Console Unit.When lit this LED indicates that the microphone in the unit is

active and anything you say will be communicated through the system.This LED

will light when you are depressing the TALK or DOOR button.

TALK HANDS FREE - Depressing this button will allow you to communicate

with all active Room Units in the system. Hold in the TALK HANDS FREE button

while speaking and let it go when you are done.Your voice will be heard on any

active Room Unit within the system and every Room Unit’s microphone will be

activated which will enable other intercom users in the home to respond without

requiring them to press the TALK button on their Room Unit.You will hear

anyone responding to you in any room of the home where a Room Unit is active

(not in mute mode).The Room Unit’s microphone stays active for 20-30 seconds

unless the TALK HANDS FREE button at the Main Console Unit is activated

again within this time period.This feature allows for hands free communication

from the Room Units to the Main Console and is useful because no action is

required by anyone on the receiving end (Room Units).

DOOR RELEASE - Depressing this button will engage the door release device

(not included in the Cat 5 Intercom System) if a door release device is installed

in conjunction with the Cat 5 Intercom System. Holding in this button will open

the door which the door release device controls. Once you let go of the button,

the door release device will disengage which will lock the door again.

VOL - There are two volume control keys with an associated volume level LED

bar.There are 64 different volume levels which are adjusted up and down using

these two buttons. Pressing the volume up button will increase the volume one

level higher.You may not see the LEDs change until you press the volume up or

down multiple times (approximately every 6th button press).You can also hold in

the volume up or down button until you have reached the desired volume level.

It is recommended that you keep the volume level in the middle position (3 LEDs

lit) for optimum sound quality.

Room Unit

The Room Unit acts a point of communication in the Cat 5 Intercom System.

There may be up to twelve total Room Units in the Cat 5 Intercom System.The

Room Unit provides typical intercom features which enable quick communication

throughout the home.

TALK - Depressing this button will allow you to communicate with all other

active units. Hold in the TALK button while speaking and let it go when you are
