OVERVIEW: DBI-1 DOORBELL INTERFACE

The DBI-1 Doorbell Interface (FG01034) provides doorbell
chimes that play throughout the home when installed with a
Niles ZR MultiZone system. It is equipped with four different
doorbell sounds, a user recorded sound option, and the ability
to play different sounds for the front and rear doors. Also
included is an audio input that can be connected to the audio
output of any standard telephone paging system. The ZR-4 and
ZR-6 can be confi gured to play the DBI-1's doorbell sounds
and telephone system pages through all, or any number of
zones which are selected during confi guration of the ZR
MultiZone Receiver.
CUSTOMIZED DOORBELL SOUNDS
The DBI-1 includes four different doorbell sounds: two versions
of the standard doorbell chime sound plus two versions of the
Westminster chime. Chime selection is made via four DIP
switches. Also, the delay time between when a chime is triggered
and when the sound is actually generated is adjustable from
zero to four seconds via a similar set of DIP switches. If you
prefer, a custom chime sound can be created. An audio source
(microphone mixer, CD player, preamplifi er, etc.) can be
connected to the DBI-1's audio input and then recorded to the
digital memory.

DUAL DOORBELL TRIGGERS
The two doorbell inputs, one for the front door and the other for
the rear, are connected using simple two-conductor wire. They
can be triggered either by contact closure or by 3V-30V
voltage.
AUDIO PAGING INPUT
An audio input is supplied to connect to the audio output of a
telephone paging system. To ensure that their volume levels
are the same, the DBI-1 is equipped with separate adjustable
output level controls for both the chimes and the telephone
system page.
AUDIO PAGING OUTPUT
Use a standard audio cable with male RCA plugs to connect the
DBI-1 to the paging input of a ZR MultiZone Receiver.
CHIME AND AUDIO LEVEL ADJUSTMENTS
The sound volume for the chimes and the audio paging are
adjustable so they can be set to the same output level.
