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, it may occur that push notifications are 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

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

ASSEMBLING THE MOUNTING HOUSING

The product is available as a surface-mounted, flush-mounted and retrofit 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. In the retrofit version, the front panel is slightly larger to better cover the hole in the existing panel and the mounting is not realized with a separate mounting housing (backbox) but with metal clamps.A1121 -IP-Access-Control-Device-
FIG-5  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 (APPLIES ONLY TO THE SURFACE-MOUNTED AND FLUSH-MOUNTED MODEL)
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..A1121 -IP-Access-Control-Device-
FIG-6

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 (for retrofit version: through the hole in the existing panel).A1121 -IP-Access-Control-Device-FIG-7

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“.

OPTION 2  WiFI 2.4 GHz
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 visi www.doorbird.com/wifi

PREPARE POWER SUPPLY

The device does not have a battery as 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 alternatively 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. 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 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 PoE-Injector (e.g. DoorBird Gigabit PoE Injector A1093), use a CAT.5 cable or higher in accordance with 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 then simultaneously form the data line. The device will not start if your PoE-Switch/PoE-Injector does not support the PoE Standard IEEE 802.3af Mode A.

NOTICE Do not combine the power supply from the po wer supply unit (mains adapter) with the power supply via PoE. You can find further information about PoE here: http://www.doorbird.com/poe

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 alternatively via WiFi.

CONNECTING THE DEVICE

It is possible to connect the cables and wires to the device conveniently and safely via the labeled 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.

DANGER
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.A1121 -IP-Access-Control-Device-FIG-8A1121 -IP-
Access-Control-Device-FIG-9A1121 -IP-
Access-Control-Device-FIG-10

Please take care when connecting the cables and wires. Connecting the cables and wires the wrong way may damage the device. Wires without insolation material must not protrude out of the green screw connection terminal, it may lead to electrical short and damage 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.A1121 -IP-Access-Control-
Device-FIG-11

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.
The Keypad LEDs indicate whether the device is supplied with power. The LEDs light up in white color a few seconds after you have connected the device to the power supply.
If Keypad LEDs 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.

 MAINTENANCE OF THE FRONT PANEL

Cleaning and maintenance instructions
All of our front panels are made of high-quality materials and are designed for a durable lifetime. Since these kinds of devices 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.

NOTE
Aggressive stains such as bird droppings should be removed as soon as possible. Never use abrasive detergents such as steel wool or scouring milk.
Warm water is usually sufficient, if necessary with a little detergent, soft cloth, or brush. Plastic parts must not be treated with metal care products. Remove all residues of cleaning agents or lubricants to avoid stains or discoloration after the maintenance.

Stainless Steel
Only high-quality stainless steel is used for all available DoorBird devices. 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 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 device 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: can be avoided by using demineralized 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.
