Doorbell and Phone Event Package (ZCA-IDP10A)
• 2 Wireless Contact Sensors
• 1 North American External Power Supply (for optional DC
powering of the Wireless Contact Sensor)
• 1 ELK-930 Doorbell and Telephone Ring Detector
Note: The package has been tested and designed to
work with Control4 OS 1.3.2 and later. All necessary
drivers for the package are included in these Control4
versions.
Introduction
The Doorbell and Phone Event Package is an all-in-one solution
that makes it quick and easy to add doorbell- and phone-based
automation events in a Control4 home. With everything you need
in a single box, the package includes all the gear to create events
for one or two doorbells and one phone line.
The Wireless Contact Sensor operates on either two AA batteries
or a low-voltage power supply (included). This single, small
device combines up to three contact switches, two temperature
sensors, and—when line-powered—a ZigBee repeater.
The ELK-930 Doorbell and Telephone Ring Detector detects
ring activation from one or two doorbell buttons and a single
telephone line. It conveniently isolates the voltage and current
and produces an open collector (pull to ground) output which
can be used to trigger the Wireless Contact Sensor. The
ELK-930's circuit board is pre-scored so that the three individual
detectors may
be snapped off (separated) from each other.

Installing the doorbell event detector
Also see "Creating doorbell ring detection-based events" on page
3.
To install the doorbell event detector:
1 Add one Wireless Contact Sensor to the Composer project
and create the proper bindings. (Refer to the Wireless
Contact Sensor Installation Guide.)
2 Using two jumper wires similar in gauge to the existing
doorbell ringer circuit, connect the doorbell circuit's
transformer and front door input to the two INPUT terminals
on the ELK-930 Doorbell Ring Detector.
3 Using two jumper wires similar in gauge to the existing
doorbell ringer circuit, connect pins 1 and 2 on the Wireless
Contact Sensor to the OUT and NEG terminals on the
ELK-930.
4 Using the included adhesive foam, mount the ELK-930 to a
location near the doorbell ringer/transformer assembly.
Note: No enclosure is provided or required for the
ELK-930. You should exercise caution and not place it
in such as way as to short the ELK-930's printed circuit
board (PCB).
5 Using the included mounting screws and wall anchors,
mount the Wireless Contact Sensor to a location near the
doorbell ringer/transformer assembly.
6 Using Composer Pro, you can now add events around the
ringing of the doorbell, such as:
• Mute all audio zones for five to 10 seconds to allow
occupants to hear the doorbell ringing.
• Flash the lights in rooms where it's difficult to hear the
doorbell ringing.
• Activate an IP camera (not included) located at the door
and use a camera preset to see who's there.
