Stations may be connected in risers using the following
Suite/Apartment Stations
cable configurations:
3-wire stations: 1 twisted pair #22 AWG, plus 1
conductor #22 AWG per station in riser.
4-wire stations: 1 twisted pair #22 AWG, plus 1
conductor #22AWG, plus 1 conductor #22 AWG per
station in riser.
5-wire stations: 1 twisted pair #22 AWG, plus 2
conductor #22 AWG, plus 1 conductor #22 AWG per
station in riser.
The maximum cable length is 400 feet (120 meters).
Additional risers may be added as needed. Station cables
must not be run in the same conduit with (or too close
to) electrical wiring or background music, and must
not be close to fluorescent lighting or other electrical
equipment. Failing to observe this requirement can
result in noise entering the intercom audio. Ensure that
sufficient amounts of cable are left in the back box to
make connections to stations.
Cable wiring must be 2 conductor #18 AWG with a
Transformer
maximum cable length of 80 feet (25 meters). If using
#14 AWG wire, this distance can be extended to 200
feet (60 meters). Route cable away from suite station
wiring and maintain a minimum of 3 feet (1 meter) of
clearance between the transformer and the amplifier.
Cable wiring must be 2 conductor #18 AWG with a
Door Release
maximum length of 50 feet (15 meters). See
for specifics of each door control unit
configuration. Note: An SS106 transformer must be
on page 5
used for 24 VAC doorstrike and 12 VDC Maglock
applications (8 volt tap required).
