Installation

INSTALLATION OF VF103 DOOR STATIONS
These stations are best located adjacent to the front door or at the front gate at a
suggested height of 1400 millimetres and may require a wall box depending upon the
surface to which they are to be affixed.
Any station exposed to the weather will require the fitting of a weatherproof cover.
Where stations are to be installed in solid brick or concrete columns at a front gate, it is
required that the cable be run in conduit from the station to below ground level and back to
the house.
When using 8-wire cable to connect to the Door Station, do not connect the spare two wires
to the MUS1/MUS2 terminals at the Master Station (or Room Station) end of the cable.
The two spare wires from an 8-wire cable may be wired in parallel to the POS and NEG
wires to the gate station, to double the maximum cable distance to a length of 200 metres.
Where a Door Station is part of a wiring loop, the Door Station should generally be the last
station on the loop.
