    Double check you've purchased the correct model number for your system type before installing.

    Attaching the Companion Board (DP-XXXX and DP-XXXXP)

    Remove the plastic cap over the microphone compartment, place the microphone inside, and replace the cap (it friction-fits over the wires). Attach the companion board to the front side of the bracket using the pre-attached mounting screws, so the screws pass through the board before threading into the bracket.

    Attaching the Camera (DP-5xxx/6xxx and P variants)

    Break away the perforated metal screen over the camera opening by pushing a screwdriver through the front slot near the top or bottom until the tabs release. Attach the camera to the mount so the lens cone points through the opening, adjust position, and secure with the mount screw.

    Attaching the Companion Board (DP-XXXXC — CAT5 Intercom)

    Position the companion board onto the three mounting tabs so the back-mounted microphone aligns with the bracket's microphone tube. Bend the mounting tabs to secure the board, then connect speaker and button wires via the small connector over the exposed pins.

    Patio Mode: If a station configured as Door 1 or Door 2 rings, pressing the button on a Patio-mode station answers that call (press again to hang up, or hold 3 seconds to activate the ST-C5IDS Door Strike Relay). If neither door has rung in the last 20 seconds, pressing Patio mode pages the house stations (press again to end the page).

    Channel Vision Compatible (DP-xxxx)

    Interfaces with Channel Vision telephone entry controllers: TE110, C-0920, P-0920, P-0921, providing audio and video communication. Install a compatible mounting box, connect the Telephone Entry Controller with 2-conductor wire to the DP's terminal block, run the camera's video output to a coax extension if needed, and splice power supply extensions with crimp-on connectors if needed.
