VIDEOS
Need help with the installation? Be sure to watch our installation videos which can be found on http://www.doorbird.com/support Each step of the installation is documented in the videos.

INSTALLATION
All the steps below should be carried out carefully by a competent adult, taking into consideration any applicable safety regulations. Please contact us directly or seek the advice of a competent specialist. Please ensure that all wires used for the installation are undamaged along their entire length and approved for this type of use. Network speed and network components Please ensure that the upload speed of your Internet connection is at least 0.5 Mbps. The user experience is only as good as your network speed, network stability and quality of your network components, such as your Internet Router and WiFi access points or WiFi repeaters. Please also make sure that your network components are no older than two years old, have been manufactured by a well- known manufacturer, and have the latest firmware installed. Should these requirements not be fulfilled, push notifications can be delayed or not delivered to your mobile device.

Requirements

• High-speed Internet (via landline): DSL, cable or optical fibre
• Network: Ethernet, with DHCP

SWITCHING OFF POWER

• Switch off the power to all wires leading to the assembly location, e.g. power supply for the device or an electrical door opener.

DISMANTLING THE EXISTING ACCESS CONTROL DEVICE

• Should there already be an access control device on the exterior wall of the house, please remove it.

DETERMINING THE ASSEMBLY LOCATION

• Do not expose the device to direct sunlight.
• The housing temperature can exceed the maximum allowed temperature limit. This can result in damage to the electric and mechanical components of the device and injuries especially when touching exterior parts of the device. White and bright silver-coloured front plates absorb less sunlight than dark ones.
• Any defects caused by direct sunlight are not covered by warranty.

Important note for cavity mounting (e.g. in pedestals and mailboxes)

• To protect the electronic units, please ensure that the technical components are protected against dripping and running water caused by condensate or entering the mounting space through openings. To protect the electronic units, ensure that the mounting space inside is not accumulating water.
• Sufficient air circulation must be ensured, as well as unobstructed drainage of water at the base of the installation.
• Failure to do so will result in the warranty being declined.

ASSEMBLING THE MOUNTING HOUSING

The product is available as a surface-mounted and flush-mounted version. In the flush-mounted version, the front panel is slightly larger to better cover the hole in the wall, and the mounting housing (backbox) is made entirely of metal instead of plastic.

• If you must drill holes in a wall, insert screws into a wall or lever up a wall, ensure that no cables or mains (gas, water, etc.) are to be found in the wall.
• If the wall of the house is made of wood, dowels are not normally required. There are special dowels for assembling the device on an insulating wall, e.g. Fischer insulating dowels.

DISASSEMBLING THE FRONT PANEL
Remove the front panel with the attached Main Electrical Unit carefully from the mounting housing (backbox) using the orange (Torx+Pin) screwdriver provided.
We have designed the front panel and the safety screw in a way that it cannot be screwed through the front panel so that is does not fall off / get lost during installation..

• Turn the safety screw counter-clockwise until it is loose. Pull the front panel with the attached Main Electrical Unit out of the mounting housing (backbox).

MOUNTING

• Lead all cables and wires you want to connect to the device through the mounting housing.

Flush-mounted model

• Please make sure that the outer frame of the flush-mounted housing rests on the outside of the wall and that the edge of the flush-mounted housing is sealed all around against moisture from the outside.

Surface-mounted model

• Before mounting: Pierce through the middle of the rubber seal for the cable entry using a screwdriver.

NETWORK CONNECTION OPTIONS
You can connect the device to the network by either using a WiFi 2.4 GHz connection or a network cable.

OPTION 1 Network cable (recommended, maintenance-free)

Install a network cable (which is plugged into a network switch/router with Internet access) from the inside of your building to the assembly location. The network cable between the assembly location and the network switch/router can have a maximum length of 80 m/262 ft (IEEE 802.3). If you must span a distance of more than 80 meters/262 feet you can put a network switch in between. Make sure to use a high-quality Cat.5 network cable or better and with proper shielding (Screened Foiled Twisted Pair (S/FTP or SFTP)) whereby the shield is connected to the outer metal shield of the RJ45 plug (8P8C). The device itself does not have an RJ45 socket. The scope of delivery includes an RJ45 adapter that can be routed out of the housing. As an alternative, the RJ45 connector of the network cable can be removed on the device side to connect the wires directly to the Phoenix strip according to the assignment under point 7 „CONNECTING THE DEVICE“.

When using WiFi please make sure you have a good WiFi signal at the assembly location of the device. You can increase the WiFi signal by using so-called “WiFi repeaters”, which can boost your WiFi signal. You should install such a WiFi repeater close to the assembly location of the device, typically inside your home and close to the device. For further information regarding WiFi installations, please visit www.doorbird.com/wifi.

If you have only two wires available at the assembly location, you may use the “DoorBird 2-Wire Ethernet PoE Converter A1071”, sold separately. It allows you to transfer network data (Ethernet) and power (PoE) with a simple two-wire cable over long distances. For example, existing buildings with a simple two- wire bell wire can be equipped with network technology without having to retrofit any network cables.

• For reasons of network stability, we principally recommend using a network cable, as WiFi is sensitive to interference (range, house walls acting as shields, reliability of performance, third-party WiFi networks, wireless transmitters causing interference in the area, etc.).

PREPARE POWER SUPPLY

• The device does not have a battery as a power supply, therefore, choose one of the following options.

OPTION 1 Power supply using the power supply unit (mains adapter)

To power the device using the provided mains adapter, 2 insulated wires are required. The power supply unit has a 300 cm (9.8 ft) long cable with two insulated wires. The network connection is then established via a network cable or via WiFi.
NOTICE Do not plug the power supply unit into the wall socket yet. Only use the power supply unit provided along with the device, or a DIN-rail power supply unit (see “OPTION 3”) that you can obtain from us separately since this has been specially stabilized electrically and is equipped with an integrated audio interference reduction device. Other power supply units may destroy the device or cause poor transmission quality. The warranty automatically expires if you use a different power supply unit.
NOTICE The power supply unit is plugged into a wall socket, usually where the two wires from your assembly location come out of the wall in the interior of the house. The provided mains adapter is not outdoor-ready and is for indoor use only.

OPTION 2 Power supply and network connection using PoE (Power over Ethernet)

• To power the device via a PoE-Switch (e.g. D-Link DGS-1008P) or PoEInjector (e.g. DoorBird Gigabit PoE Injector A1093), use a CAT.5 cable or higher under the PoE standard IEEE 802.3af Mode A.
• A CAT.5 cable or higher must be used for this purpose, as network signals can only be transmitted over completely insulated, shielded and twisted cables. If you use PoE as a source of power, the four wires for PoE simultaneously form the data line. The device will not start if your
• PoESwitch/ PoE-Injector does not support the PoE Standard IEEE 802.3af Mode A.
• NOTICE Do not combine the power supply from the power supply unit (mains adapter) with the power supply via PoE. You can find further information about PoE here: http://www.doorbird.com/poe.

1. Disconnect the PoE-Switch or PoE-Injector from the power grid.
2. Place the network cable in the installation site of the device.

• The provided mains adapter is only capable of powering one device. It is not designed to power multiple devices simultaneously.
• If you must power more than one device with one power supply, we recommend using a PoE-Switch with PoE Standard IEEE 802.3af Mode A or an appropriate DIN rail power supply (see “OPTION 3”).
• If you must power more than one device with one power supply, we recommend using a PoE-Switch with PoE Standard IEEE 802.3af Mode A or an appropriate DIN rail power supply (see “OPTION 3”).
• Theoretically (not recommended by us!), an unshielded, but over the whole length (max. 80 m/262 ft) twisted bell wire with two pairs of wires (first twisted pair of wires: “T+, T-”, second twisted pair of wires “R+, R-”) can be used for the network and PoE transmission as an alternative to a Cat.5 network cable or better. This is comparable to a Cat.3 network cable. In this case, however, we cannot guarantee the data throughput or the stability of the network connection and power supply; this must be measured and checked on-site by qualified personnel over several hours (network data is transmitted at high frequency, therefore a shielded Cat.5 network cable twisted in pairs or better must normally be used).

OPTION 3
Power supply using a DIN rail power supply unit Alternatively to the mains adapter, we offer DIN rail power supplies in our online shop, which can be installed by a specialist. The network connection is then made via a network cable or via WiFi.

CONNECTING THE DEVICE

• It is possible to connect the cables and wires to the device conveniently and safely via the labelled screw connection terminal. You can connect all necessary cables and wires to the device now.
• NOTICE Please remove any cables and wires from the connection ports of the device that you do not need.
• For easier installation, we strongly recommend removing the plug from the screw connection terminal while you connect the cables and wires.
• The product comes with a disassembly tool that allows you to safely remove the connector from the screw terminal socket. Please do not use any other tool, e.g. a screwdriver, as this may damage the circuit board of the device.

ASSEMBLE THE DEVICE TO THE MOUNTING HOUSING (BACKBOX)

If you use the surface- or flush-mounted version, assemble the front panel with the attached Main Electrical Unit carefully using the orange (Torx+Pin) screwdriver provided with the wall mounting bracket / mounting housing. Turn the safety screw clockwise until it is hand-tight.
NOTICE Tighten the safety screw by hand only (less than 5-newton meter [Nm]), otherwise, the Main Electrical Unit housing may be damaged.

ACTIVATE THE DEVICE

• If the device is to be supplied with power by a mains adapter, plug the power adapter of the device into a wall socket. If the device is to be powered via PoE, switch on the PoE-Switch/ PoE-Injector which is connected to the device. If the device is to be powered via DIN-rail power supply, switch on the DIN-rail power supply.
• To check if the device is powered, place your finger on the fingerprint sensor and the integrated LED will light up briefly. In addition, shortly after switching on, you will hear a short acknowledgement tone when the device is ready. This may last for up to 5 minutes.
• If the LED do not light up, please check the power supply. When using a wall-plug power supply and not PoE, please check whether you have connected the positive pole and negative pole to the device correctly.
• The device is ready for operation (booting up process, any software updates, etc.) once it has emitted a short diagnosis sound (two beeps) from the integrated piezo speaker. This may last for up to 5 minutes.

DOWNLOADING AND INSTALLING THE APP

• Download the “DoorBird” App by Bird Home Automation onto your mobile device from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. You can always find the most up-to-date version of the App manual on www.doorbird.com/support.
• If you use WiFi for connecting the device to your Internet Router, first go to the DoorBird App > ”WiFi Setup“ and follow the instructions.
• If you have finished the WiFi setup or have connected the device to your Internet Router employing a network cable, go to the DoorBird App > “Add device” and click on the QR code icon in the “User” field. Scan the user QR code found on the “Digital Passport” provided with the device.
• If you have problems adding the device to the App please check if the device is online ( www.doorbird.com/checkonline ). If the device is not online, please check the WiFi or network cable connection again.

HOW TO REGISTER A NEW FINGERPRINT

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

• Do not roll or swipe the finger over the sensor. Try to touch the sensor with as many fingerprint patterns as possible.
• Try to position the finger in the same way as its position will be when using the sensor later for finger recognition.
• If a previously registered finger is not recognized, save it as an additional new finger (e.g. “right forefinger 1” and “right forefinger 2”).
• Fingerprint templates are only stored locally within the Fingerprint reader module and are not transferred into the main electrical unit or into the Cloud.

HOW TO SOLVE RECOGNITION ISSUES

• Use the finger with the greatest possible contact (e.g. thumb) and clearest fingerprint pattern. Small fingers (e.g. children), fingers without structure or with scars and other injuries make recognition difficult.
• Clean/Dry the finger before using the reader. Dirt, wetness or skin folds on the fingertips reduce the recognition rate.
• Register several fingers per person. Injuries to the fingerprint could prevent the detection (e.g. torn skin, scars).
• Register the same finger for summer and winter.
• Various weather conditions (summer, winter, heat, cold …) could change the fingerprint and lead to nonrecognition. If a previously registered finger is not recognized, save it as an additional new finger (e.g. “right forefinger winter” and “right forefinger summer”).

MAINTENANCE FOR DOOR BIRD PRODUCTS

Cleaning and maintenance instructions

• All DoorBird door stations are made of high-quality materials and are designed for a durable lifetime.

• Since door stations are usually installed in unprotected outdoor areas, they are exposed to adverse weather conditions and aggressive substances, especially close to frequently used roads, in coastal and industrial areas. Therefore please consider the following care instructions.

• Unfortunately, we cannot accept any liability for damage if these instructions are not being observed.

• Aggressive dirt such as bird droppings should be removed as quickly as possible.
  NOTICE

• Never use abrasive detergents such as steel wool or scouring milk!

• Warm water is usually sufficient, if necessary with a little detergent, a soft cloth or a brush. Plastic parts (camera or name tags) must not be treated with metal care products. Remove all residues of cleaning agents or lubricants to avoid stains or discolouration after maintenance.

Stainless Steel
Only high-quality German stainless steel is used for all available DoorBird door stations. However, high-quality stainless steel can also rust, as approx. 70 % of stainless steel is made of iron. Rust resistance is only achieved by a protective layer (also called the passive layer), which covers the iron-like skin. This protective layer consists essentially of chromium and other precious metals. Iron particles, grinding dust and chips deposited on stainless steel can lead to corrosion (rust film). These iron particles can be found everywhere, but especially in coastal and industrial areas and close to frequently used roads. Please remove ferrous deposits immediately, as they will attack your door station and lead to real rust if not removed. To remove rust, simply wipe off the dust; in addition, a care product is recommended, e.g. WD 40, available e.g. at Amazon for less than € 5.00. Simply apply in a thin layer and rub in. The same applies if rust appears on the engravings on the stainless steel surface. Cement or lime splashes should be carefully removed as soon as possible with a wooden spatula before hardening. The following cleaning detergents are not to be used as they reduce corrosion resistance:

• products containing chloride and hydrochloric acid
• Bleach (in case of accidental use, rinse thoroughly with water)
• Silver polish

After the cleaning with clear water wipe with a damp cloth and rub dry to avoid lime traces. Lime residues can be avoided by using demineralised water.

Stainless steel PVD-coated
PVD-coated, chrome-plated or gold-plated surfaces are recommended to be cleaned with a grease-dissolving detergent and clear water or with a clean and dust-free microfibre cloth. For high-gloss surfaces, use a scratch-free cloth (e.g. cleaning cloth for glasses, furniture polishing cloth, etc.).
Lacquered surfaces
Clean painted surfaces and lettering with a soft, scratch-free cloth moistened with a mild soap solution (e.g. cleaning cloth for glasses, furniture polishing cloth, etc.). To prevent stains or discolouration, the detergents should be wiped off without leaving any residue. Be particularly careful with lettering in order not to damage the film or the print.
Real burnished brass and architectural bronze
The surface finish „real burnished brass“ and „architectural bronze“ is a cold burnished finish, which is sealed with a boat wax. As the surface is open to diffusion, it is advisable to apply a subsequent layer of wax at intervals (approx. 6-18 months) using a soft cloth (flow cloth), allow it to soak in for a while and then rub it evenly dry with a dry cloth. We recommend a wax such as Teroson WX 990 by Henkel.
Chemical cleaning agents of any kind must NOT be used.
Avoid touching the surface with your fingers during installation. Wearing powder-free latex gloves is recommended.
Depending on the weather conditions, the processed surface may change, forming its characteristic, individual appearance.

Bird Home Automation GmbH cannot be held responsible for any misuse or misconfiguration of this product, including the unauthorized opening of a door. Bird Home Automation cannot be held responsible for damages caused by improper existing installations or improper installation. Software and operating system updates (so-called “firmware updates”) are generally automatically installed on the products of Bird Home Automation GmbH via Internet, if technically possible. Automatic firmware updates keep the products‘ software up to date so that they always work reliably, safely and efficiently. Through further development, features can be added, extended or slightly changed. Major changes or limitations to existing features will generally occur if Bird Home Automation GmbH deems it necessary (e.g. for data protection, data security or stability reasons, or to keep them up to date). When a firmware update is available, Bird Home Automation GmbH‘s servers generally automatically distribute it to all compatible products connected to the Internet or Bird Home Automation GmbH‘s servers. This process is gradual and can take several weeks. As soon as a product receives a firmware update, the system will be installed and will restart by itself. Installed firmware updates cannot be undone. Since the products and software of Bird Home Automation GmbH are not explicitly customer-specific products, a customer cannot deny an automatic update if the product is connected to the Internet or to the Bird Home Automation GmbH’s server. It is possible that this manual still contains typographical errors or printing errors. The information in this manual will be checked regularly and corrections will be made in the next version. We accept no liability for errors of a technical or printing nature and their consequences.
