ABB-Welcome Gateway

Create Sub-Systems in the ABB Door Entry System

The ABB Gateway is used to create sub-systems within a single ABB Door Entry System, or to amplify power or signal transmission. It offers five different modes to support various applications, which can be set by dipswitch. The Gateway must be wired into the System Controller (sold separately) and ideally should be mounted onto a DIN rail (not included) according to DIN EN 500022.

5 Different Modes

• Building: Enables one building as an independent sub-system (outdoor station(s)/guard unit(s) can be connected). Up to 60 such systems are supported within the whole system. The gateway address is equal to the riser number.

• Floor: Enables a multi-apartment as an independent sub-system (another outdoor station can be connected, for example in front of the door of the floor with the multi-apartment). The gateway address is equal to the minimum address of the indoor station inside the sub-system.

• Apartment: Enables one apartment as an independent sub-system (The second confirmed outdoor station can be connected). Up to 99 such systems can be supported within the whole system. The gateway address is equal to the apartment number.

• Additional Power Supply: Enables an additional power source for systems with a system controller.

• Line Amplifier: Strengthens the video signal and extends transmission.

NOTE: Requires 2-wire connection to a System Controller, sold separately.

About the ABB Door Entry System

Also known as the "Welcome" system, the Door Entry System is a first-of-its-kind modular intercom and access control system that offers one flexible solution for any intercom and entry security application.

• Complete intercom and access control solution for any building
• One system supports up to 60 buildings and 250 stations per building
• Connections require only 2 wires for ultra-flexible installations
• Standard range up to 1,968 feet (600 m), extends with power boosters
• Free mobile apps for iOS and Android provide remote intercom access
• No fees required to enable Internet connection – ABB provides servers

Station Features:

• Modular outdoor stations allow easy customization and repairs
• Pre-assembled outdoor stations facilitate quick installation for standard applications
• Optionally install ABB indoor stations and/or use mobile devices as indoor stations
• Indoor stations optionally support door strike release for remote unlocking
• Optionally select indoor stations with built-in induction loops for hearing aid users

How to Build Your System

Every ABB Door Entry System needs at least two components: a System Controller (either standard or mini) and an Audio Module (any variation). With these two foundational components, the system can be expanded and customized as needed. Additional system components may include:

• Custom Modular Outdoor Stations
• Audio Module (speaker/mic, with or without pushbuttons)
• Pushbutton Module (with or without built-in card reader)
• Keypad Module (with or without built-in card reader)
• Display Module with Built-In Card Reader
• Camera Module
• Nameplate Module
• Pre-Assembled Outdoor Stations
• Hands-Free Indoor Stations (with or without video screen and/or induction loop)
• Handset Indoor Stations (with or without video screen and/or induction loop)
• Guard Unit (specialized station for security monitoring)
• Mobile Devices (requires Telephone Gateway and/or IP Gateway)
• Telephone Gateway (for integrating mobile or landline phones)
• IP Gateway (for enabling remote Internet access)
• Switch Actuator (for relay control)
• Camera Interface (for connecting third-party analog cameras)
• Elevator Lift Control Relay Module (for elevator/floor access control)

Other accessories are also available for installation and connection. Most notably, in order to build a custom modular outdoor station, you will need to select the modules you wish to include in the station, and then match the number of modules to the appropriate size Flush-Mounted Box and Faceplate. (Flush-mounted boxes support optional surface-mounting in addition to flush-mounting. When surface-mounting, a Rain Hood is also required; only optional when surface-mounting.) The screwless, snap-on design of both outdoor and indoor stations makes installation a breeze.
