IMPORTANT DO’S & DON’TS
✔ DO ensure that all instructions have been followed before
✔ DO NOT SPLICE CABLES. Splices are unreliable and
defeat the signal isolation properties of the cable.
✔ DO keep cables at least 18 inches from fluorescent light
fixtures, Dimmer controls, and all other wiring. This includes
AC wiring, security cable, and other control wires. These can
cause a “hum” or “buzzing” sound.
power is applied to system. The installation shall be carried
out in accordance with all applicable installation rules.
✔ DO use only Cat-5 & RG-6 and specified wires called out in
these instructions. The cable is designed and constructed
with electrical specifications necessary for proper audio
performance.
✔ DO keep cables away from objects such as heating and air
conditioning ducts, metal construction plates, and anything
else with sharp edges that can damage the cables.
✔ DO follow the grounding and bonding requirements
established by Electrical Code TIA standard 607, and
equipment manufacturer’s specifications.
✔ DO use only a damp cloth to clean the exterior plastics on
the VMC1 Master Station and Room Stations.
✔ DO NOT use liquid or aerosols.
✔ DO make gradual bends of the cable where necessary -- no
sharper than 1” radius.
✔ DO NOT locate the VMC1 Master Station or Room Stations
on an exterior wall.
✔ DO dress the cables neatly with cable ties or Velcro™
wraps. Use loose or moderate pressure.
✔ DO NOT locate the VMC1 Master Station or Room Stations
in any wall cavity with any other electrical wiring in the
cavity.
✔ DO use cable-pulling lubricant only for cable runs that may
otherwise require great force to install. When cable lubricant
is used, read the instructions to be sure it is compatible with
the cable jacket material (PVC or FEP).
✔ DO NOT attach non line-level audio devices or non M&S
authorized equipment to the system.
✔ DO avoid stressing cable conductors, limit pulling tension to
25 pounds or less as specified by EIA/TIA-568A standard.
Pull cables gradually and with constant tension, taking care
not to crush or pinch bundles.
✔ DO NOT power up Master Station until all stations are
connected.
✔ DO NOT splice or repair cables damaged during wire
pulling, install a new cable.
✔ DO use grommets to protect the cable where passing
through metal studs or anything that can possibly damage
them.
✔ DO NOT coil or bundle the cables. This can cause electronic
feedback.
✔ DO test every installed cable run with a cable tester. “Toning”
alone is not acceptable.
✔ DO NOT over-tighten the screws for the stations or the
intercom Master Station to prevent cracking.
✔ DO NOT install any station or speaker cables inside the 120
VAC transformer enclosure.
✔ DO label every termination point. Use a unique identifier
for each cable run. It will make moves, adds, changes, and
troubleshooting easier.
✔ DO NOT tie cables to electrical conduits or lay cables on
electrical fixtures.
✔ DO support horizontal cable bundles using board supports,
J-hooks, or cable trays.
✔ DO NOT allow the cable to be sharply bent or kinked at any
time.
✔ DO have signal cables cross at right angles to power cables
to minimize induced interference.
✔ DO NOT install cables “taut” anywhere. Good installation
should have cables loose, but never sagging.
✔ DO NOT run signal and power cables parallel without
adequate separation to minimize interference.
✔ DO NOT exert more than 25 pounds of tension on 4-pair
cables.
✔ DO always obey all local and national fire and building
codes. Be sure to “fire-stop” all cables that penetrate a fire-
wall. Use plenum-rated cable where mandated.
✔ DO have a licensed electrician to run a 120 VAC line from A
DEDICATED 15-AMP BREAKER to the VMC1 power supply.
✔ DO Use Cat-5 wire for all VMC1 wire runs.
✔ DO label all wire runs. Connecting the wires to the VMC1
master, room station, or door station incorrectly may result
in system damage.
✔ DO NOT step on Cat-5 cable during installation.
✔ DO NOT overtighten the cable ties, apply cable ties loosely,
with random spacing.
✔ DO NOT untwist the wire pairs in Cat-5 cable more than 1/2”
to avoid crosstalk.
✔ DO NOT STAPLE CABLES. Staples cause shorts.

Introduction
The VMC1H installation rough-in prepares the home to
accommodate the video intercom system. A VMC1MB
mounting bracket is necessary for the Master Station. Room
stations and the Alloy Color Video Door Station (VMC1VDS)
can be mounted directly onto finished walls. All other door
stations require a rough-in enclosure (VMC1HR).TheVMC1HR
is also recommended for installing room stations in new
construction or installations where the drywall has not yet
been installed.

Overview
TheVMC1 System
Room Stations
Designed for installation in new homes, the VMC1 is a Whole
House Color Video Security Intercom system that provides
room to room communication, multiple camera support,
basic home automation controls, and video security for mid to
large residential applications. VMC1 provide years of service
and security for the homeowner as many people move into
‘smart home’ environment. New housing takes advantage of
state of the art electronics, internet, and security applications
such as video surveillance and monitoring. VMC1 provides up
to 20 remote intercom stations, three video camera stations,
and offers music and communication for the whole house.
With multiple 12 volt Control Outputs, VMC1 can trigger
lights, monitors, voice and text message alerts, and e-mail
door chime alerts delivered to a smart phone. VMC1 offers a
wide range of capacities with expanded options, accessories,
and recommended parts. (See Appendix A).
To avoid audio feedback, Room Stations should be kept at least
10 feet away from other stations. Never have more than one
station in any one room and avoid mounting stations in the
same wall cavity (i.e. directly below and above one another in
a two-story house). A suitable height is generally 4.5 feet from
the floor to the center of the unit. For Room Stations mounted
on wood frame walls, place near a stud to allow for adequate
support. For tiled surfaces, install a wall box before lining or
tiling the walls. Cut the tiles to the inside dimensions of the
wall box. Where Room Stations are mounted outside and are
exposed to the weather, the fitting of weatherproof covers is
recommended (p/n DSWS). Stations must not be installed in
saunas.
Door Stations
Door Stations are best located adjacent to the front door
or at the front gate at a suggested height of 4’-6” and may
require a wall box depending upon the surface to which they
are to be affixed. Door Stations are weather resistant, but
should not be exposed directly to rain or extreme weather.
Any station exposed to the weather requires a weather shield.
When equipped with the appropriate weather shield the Door
Station is designed to meet ANSI/IEC 60529 IP31 weather
proof standards.
It is important that each step of the installation be
carefully completed by the installer. In the event you need
troubleshooting assistance, please call our technical support
staff at 1-800-421-1587.
General Information
The following general procedures must be observed in
relation to the location and installation of VMC1 components:
Where stations are to be installed outdoors, appropriate
measures to provide protection from the weather are to be
taken.
Gates and Entrances
Where stations are to be installed in brick or concrete columns
at a front gate, the cable should be run in conduit from the
station to below ground level and back to the house.
The power supply should be located in an area with sufficient
space for heat dissipation.
Cameras
Guidelines for maximum cable lengths as set out in this
manual are to be observed to avoid the possibility of operating
problems due to excessive cable voltage drop.
For Door Stations fitted with cameras, consideration must be
given to the viewing area of the camera taking factors such as
lighting and sun exposure into account.
Interference
Power Supply
The circuitry of the intercom is designed to minimize the
effects of Radio Frequency Interference (RFI); and there will
be minimal and occasional radio frequency interference as
power outages, lightning storms, and any electrical apparatus
can affect the system. To reduce instances of interference,
reduce any unwanted audible buzz in audio appliances
such as microphone amplifier, speaker amplifier, car radio,
telephones etc, you add on-board EMI filters or special layout
techniques to help bypass EMI or improving RF immunity.
Most circuits have integrated RF filters or special design that
prevents demodulation of high-frequency carriers.The use of
microwaves, cell phones, cable television, bug zappers, even
heating pads in close proximity, can create interference.
The Power Supply should be attached to the VMC1MB as
directed. Improper installation of the Power Supply can lead
to unit malfunction and void the warranty.The Power Supply
needs sufficient space to dissipate heat effectively.
AM & FM Antennas
Theantennaarrangementiscriticaltotheinstallationforquality
radio reception. Place AM and FM antennas at the highest
point of the roof and at least 6 feet away from any electrical
or intercom wiring. Both AM and FM antennas are directional,
and correct positioning requires some experimentation to
achieve the best possible result. Antenna wires should also
be positioned at the highest and most accessible point in
the roof. Allow additional cable at the mounting bracket for
termination, at least 3 feet for the Master Station.
Master Station
The Master Station should be positioned at a suggested
height of 4-1/2’ to 5-1/2’ from the floor to the center of the
unit. As all wiring from other stations is generally terminated
at the rear of the Master Station, the wall should be no less
than 3 inches in depth. Use the VMC1MB to provide adequate
support for the unit.

Wiring Information
CableType and Configuration
Cables andWiring
Excellent locations to run cables include:
The general intercom functions for VMC1 can be cabled using
Cat-5 or Cat-6 cables. If required, 6-conductor telephone
cables can be used provided the system is configured for
6-wire operation.
•
•
•
•
•
Roof space
False ceilings/ bulkhead area
Through and/or around external walls
Under floors (subject to access being available)
Underground in conduit
Be sure to clearly tag all cables to identify any damaged cables
or other system faults. See the table below for Cat-5 wire color
recommendations.
✓ NOTE: Keep Intercom cables far from any AC wiring. Avoid running
intercom cable in parallel to AC or any other type of wiring. Avoid placing
joins or splices in cables. Locate cables where there is access for future
servicing.
ROOM STATIONS SHOULD
BE AT LEAST TEN FEET
APART FROM ONE
ANOTHER
Maximum Length for Cable Runs
The system can be “home-run wired” from a central point or
“daisy chained” from station to station. However, the number
of stations on a daisy chain run governs the overall length
of the run. The tables below show the relationship between
the length on a cable run and the number of room stations
permitted and the maximum cable run to a Door Station.
✓ NOTE: The tables are based on the use of Cat-5 or Cat-6 cable. Where
required, the wire lengths maximum distances can be doubled by
running 12 AWG speaker wire in parallel with the POS & NEG wires. It
is important that the POS and NEG wires are balanced in terms of the
type of wire and the number of wires being used - i.e. if a Cat-5 wire and
12 AWG speaker wire are being used for the positive connection, a Cat-5
wire and a 12 AWG speaker wire should also be used for the negative
connection.

Master Station Rough-In
VMC1MB Master Station Mounting Bracket
VMC1MB Installation - UnfinishedWall
The VMC1MB mounts flush with the wall stud and holds the
Master Station and Power Supply (See Figure 1). Position the
VMC1MB at a suggested height of 4-1/2 to 5-1/2 feet from the
floor to center of the unit. As all wiring from other stations
is generally terminated at the rear of the Master Station, the
wall should be no less than 3 inches deep. If required, install
additional wood shims or metal rough-in enclosures to allow
for adequate support of the Master Station.
Install the VMC1MB flush with the front of the wall stud and
fasten in place with screws as shown. After drywall has been
installed, cut out an opening to the inside dimensions of the
VMC1MB (7-1/4” x 11.”).
✓ IMPORTANT: Install the Master Station in a cavity wall to allow for the
wiring behind it. Do not install in a brick wall. For wall tiling around the
Master Station, ensure that it is mounted either completely within or
clear of tile to avoid an uneven surface. Be sure to allow at least 10” of
space below Master Station Bracket and firebreaks for Power Supply.
This is also necessary for clearance when installing the Master Station
Mounting Bracket into pre-cut drywall opening.
The VMC1MB has a correct orientation, so review Figures 1
and 2 to be sure it is right side up.

Room Station Rough-In
Room Station Mounting
Room Station Installation - FinishedWall
The Room Stations are normally mounted at a height from the
floor of: 4-1/2’ to 5’.The Room Stations are not designed to be
installed outdoors.
Identify the location where the Room Station is to be installed.
Cut a 3-1/2” x 7-3/4” rectangular hole in the drywall. When
possible, one short edge should be situated against a wall stud
to provide added support when installing the Room Station.
Room Station Installation - UnfinishedWall
For an unfinished wall it is recommended that the VMC1HR
rough-in enclosure be used. Identify the location where the
Room Station is to be installed.
Pull the wire through the hole and attach to the drywall so it
will not fall back into the wall cavity.
Room Station Auxiliary Activation
Attach the Rough-In Enclosure to the stud using the two inner
pre-punched holes (see Figure 3). The outside holes on the
wings of the box are to be used to mount the room station
and not to attach the Rough-in Enclosure to the stud.
When operating in single digit mode, each Room Station
can activate the Auxiliary Control Output (CO) triggers at the
Master Station.
Pull a yellow 18 gauge wire from the VMC1MB to the Room
Station location. Following this color convention will assist in
the final installation of the VMC1 system.
Pull the Cat-5 wires through the hole in the back of the Rough-
in Enclosure and make a knot so they do not fall back into the

Antenna Installation
Radio Antennas
VMC1 requires two antennas, one for AM and one for FM
reception.The AM antenna is a 25-foot wire the FM antenna is
a 25-foot length of coax with a “T” shaped wire dipole at one
end that attaches between rafters in the attic.
ORIENTATE FM ANTENNA
FOR STRONGEST RECEPTION
Antenna arrangement is crucial to quality radio reception. AM
and FM antennas should be placed at the highest point of the
roof and at least six feet away from any electrical or intercom
wiring.
✓ IMPORTANT! Isolate the antenna leads from the intercom station cables
by running them through a separate hole in the ceiling plate. If grouped
together, the intercom station cables can shield the antenna leads
resulting in poor radio reception. Also keep the antenna leads away
from metal duct work and aluminum backed insulation, which reduces
reception.

AM Antenna
