5.2 Konnessjonijiet tal-Wiring
The DRC-40K requires connection to an indoor monitor and, optionally, to a door release mechanism. All wiring should be performed with the power supply disconnected.
- To Monitor (Main Unit): Connect the 4-wire cable from the door camera to the corresponding terminals on your Commax indoor monitor. Pay close attention to polarity (+/-) as indicated on both devices. The door camera receives its 12V DC power supply directly from the monitor.
- To Door Release (Optional): Connect the 2-wire cable from the door camera to your electronic door lock or gate release mechanism. These connections are typically non-polarity specific.
Importanti: Ensure all connections are secure and insulated to prevent short circuits. Refer to your indoor monitor's manual for specific wiring diagrams.
6. Operazzjoni
Once installed and powered, the Commax DRC-40K operates in conjunction with your indoor videophone monitor.
- Bidu ta' Sejħa: A visitor presses the call button on the door camera. This sends a signal to the indoor monitor, which will ring and display the visitor's image.
- Komunikazzjoni f'żewġ direzzjonijiet: From the indoor monitor, you can answer the call to establish two-way audio and video communication with the visitor.
- Rilaxx tal-Bieb: If connected to a door release mechanism, you can unlock the door remotely from the indoor monitor during a call.
- Viżjoni bil-lejl: The embedded night LED automatically activates in low-light conditions, providing clear images of visitors even in the dark.
