ABB-Welcome Round Pushbutton Module with Card Reader

Outdoor Station Module for ABB Door Entry Systems

The ABB Round Pushbutton Module with NFC/IC installs in a custom outdoor station to allow a visitor at the door to initiate a call with an indoor station or to unlock a door in your ABB Door Entry System. The module has a built-in proximity card reader, and is available with one, two, or three buttons.

• Button(s) initiate calls to indoor stations in the ABB Door Entry System
• Each button calls either one station or one entire residence
• Built-in NFC/IC card reader unlocks connected door lock
• Backlit nameplate next to button(s) offers labelling option
• High-quality nameplate printing through supporting software
• Installs into an ABB Flush Mounted Box with an audio module

Each button can call either a single indoor station or all indoor stations in a single residence. With two buttons, for example, you could program the different buttons to call either two different indoor stations or all indoor stations in two completely separate residences, appropriate for an apartment complex. When the call is answered, two-way communication is established through the outdoor station's audio module (sold separately).

At the side of the pushbutton(s) is a backlit nameplate, giving you the option of labeling the button(s). The backlight allows easy use at night. High-quality nameplate printing is accomplished with free downloadable supporting software.

The built-in NFC/IC reader can be used to unlock a connected door lock. When a visitor or resident waves an authorized proximity card/tag (sold separately) in front of the module, the lock release is activated. The reader is compatible with any third-party NFC/IC cards and tags, not included.

Installation Details

As an outdoor station module, the ABB Round Pushbutton Module connects to the System Controller (sold separately) using two wires, and installs into an ABB Flush Mounted Box (sold separately) at the size of your choosing. The module should be combined with at least an audio module (sold separately) in a multi-gang box. Once your box size is chosen, a same-size ABB Aluminum Faceplate is also required to finish the custom-built outdoor station.

After the module is wired into the Door Entry System, it simply snaps into the box, and the faceplate snaps over it onto the box. The box can be flush- or surface-mounted with accessories.

NOTE: Requires 2-wire connection to a System Controller, sold separately. Installation hardware, printing on nameplate, and proximity cards/tags not included.

• 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.
