Channel Vision DP-Series — Telephone Entry Door Intercom Plate Instructions

Installation instructions for Channel Vision's DP-Series door plates (DP-XXXX, DP-XXXXC, DP-XXXXP) — 1/4" solid brass telephone entry door intercom plates with optional integrated camera, available in three compatibility variants.

Overview

Channel Vision's DP-Series are 1/4" solid brass door plates that interface with a telephone entry controller to provide communication with the front door. They're available in multiple configurations, including options for a hidden camera and compatibility with Panasonic's KSU phone systems. Each plate ships with either a DP-9001 or DP-9002 surface mount box (depending on finish color) and is also compatible with the separately-sold DP-Rbox-II flush mount box.

Features

• 1/4" thick solid brass plate
• Discrete speaker and microphone
• Fits the DP-Rbox-II flush mount box and the DP-9001/DP-9002 surface mount boxes
• Available in 9 different finishes

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

This intercom consists of two sub-assemblies — the electronic "Companion Board" and the mechanical "Door Plate" — which must be joined before final installation.

1. Remove the plastic cap covering the microphone compartment on the door plate.
2. Place the microphone in the compartment and replace the cap (it friction-fits over the mic wires, holding them snug until they exit at the base).
3. Remove the mounting screws already attached to the bracket and use them to attach the Companion Board to the front side of the bracket (screws pass through the board before threading into the bracket).
4. Attach the button and speaker wires as shown in the diagrams.
5. The finished sub-assembly has a connection point for the Telephone Entry Controller.

Attaching the Camera (DP-5xxx / DP-5xxxP / DP-6xxx / DP-6xxxP)

1. Break away the perforated metal screen covering the camera opening by pushing a screwdriver through the front slot near the top or bottom until the tabs release.
2. Attach the mini pinhole camera to the integrated mount so the cone lens points through the opening.
3. Adjust the camera position and secure with the mount's screw.
4. Attach the pigtail to the rear of the camera, then connect to power supply and video distribution system.

Assembly: DP-XXXXC (Attaching the Companion Board)

1. Position the Companion Board onto the three mounting tabs so the back-mounted microphone lines up with the microphone tube on the bracket.
2. Bend the mounting tabs over to secure the board.
3. Connect speaker and button wires by sliding the small connector over the exposed pins on the Companion Board.
4. The finished sub-assembly connects to the Intercom Hub.

Camera attachment for DP-5xxxC / DP-6xxxC follows the same steps as above (break away the screen section, mount the camera, attach the pigtail, connect power/video).
