General safety regulations

Attention! Mounting, installation, commissioning and repair of electronic devices have
!
to be carried out only by qualified electricians. Thus, the current standards for the in-
stallation of door communication systems must be observed.
When working in systems with 230 V mains voltage, the safety regulations according to
DIN VDE 0100 must be observed.
When installing TCS:BUS
systems according to VDE 0800 must be observed. Inter alia:
 separated cabling of heavy and low current lines,
 minimum distance of 10 cm for common cabling,
 use of separators between heavy and low current lines in shared cable ducts,
 use of standard telecommunication lines, e.g. J-Y (St) Y with 0.8 mm diameter,
 existing lines (modernisation) with deviating cross sections can be used in compliance
with the loop resistance.
Installation – protective measures
With suitable requirements to protect against lightning, it has to be ensured that a volt-
age of each 32 V DC is not to be exceeded at the connections a, b, P, R, S, V1, V2.
!
All front-door stations and modules are permitted for safety extra low voltage (SELV)
and protective extra low voltage (PELV) only.
Front-door stations of the series AMI can be assembled individually with functional mod-
ules. The modules have to be used in combincation with a flush-mount kit (ZAU200x) or a
communication post (K3xxxx).
Other forms of installation must meet protection class IP44 at least.

Flush-mount kit

Modular front-door stations of the series AMI are front panels with flush-mount box.

Communication posts

The communication posts are stand-alone front-door stations constructed as posts.
The posts are suitable for a vertical installation outdoors and need to be installed on even,
massive ground (e.g. concrete)
Possible hazards when using the device
The operating elements of the modules in the front-door stations can get very hot when
placed in direct solar radiation (more than +50 °C). If possible, avoid direct solar radiation
when selecting the mounting site.
