Prohibition to Dismantle the Unit

Prohibition on Subjecting the Unit to Water

General Precautions

WARNING(Negligence could result in death or serious injury to people)
1. High voltage is present internally. Do not open the case. Electric shock could
result.
2. Do not dismantle or alter the unit. Fire or electric shock could result.
3. Do not connect any non-specified power source to the +, - terminals, and do notinstall two power supplies in parallel to a single input. Fire, damage to the unit,or system malfunction could result.
4. Keep the unit away from water or any other liquid. Fire or electric shock could
result.
5. Do not put any metal or paper into the unit through the openings. Fire orelectric shock could result.
6. Do not plug or unplug with wet hands. Electric shock could result.
7. Keep AC plug away from moisture or dust. Fire could result.
8. Keep AC cord from being marred or crushed. If the AC cord is fractured, fire orelectric shock could result.
9. Do not use a power supply with a voltage other than specified. Fire or electric
shock could result.
10. Insert AC plug completely and securely into AC outlet. Otherwise, fire orelectric shock could result.
11. The unit is not of explosion-proof. Do not install or use near gases or
flammable materials. Fire or explosion could result.

CAUTION(Negligence could result in injury to people or damage to property)
1. Before turning on power,make sure wires are not crossed or shorted. Fire orelectric shock could result.
2. When mounting the unit on wall, install the unit in a convenient location, but
not where it could be jarred or bumped. Injury could result.
3. Do not install or make any wire terminations while power supply is plugged in.
It can cause electrical shock or damage to the unit.
4. Do not install the unit in any of the following locations. Fire, electric shock, orunit trouble could result.
∗ Places under direct sunlight, or near heating equipment that varies intemperature.
∗ Places subject to dust, oil, chemicals, hydrogen sulfide (hot spring).
∗ Places subject to moisture and humidity extremes, such as bathroom, cellar,
greenhouse, etc.
∗ Places where the temperature is quite low, such as inside a refrigerated area orin front of air-conditioner.
∗ Places subject to steam or smoke (near heating or cooking surfaces).
∗ Where noise generating devices such as dimmer switches, invertor electricalappliances, are closeby.
5. On products with ground terminals, connect to an earth ground. Fire or
malfunction could result.
6. For DC powered systems, use Aiphone power supply model specified withsystem. If non-specified product is used, fire or malfunction could result.
7. Do not put anything on or cover the unit with cloth, etc. Fire or unit trouble
could result.
8. Do not put high pressure on the monitor cover. If fractured, injury could result.
9. If LCD is punctured, do not allow contact with the liquid crystal inside.
Inflammation could result. If necessary, gargle your mouth and clean your eyesor skin with clear water for at least 15 minutes, and consult your doctor.
10. Do not mount the unit in a place subjected to constant vibration or impact. If
jarred or knocked off the wall, injury could result .

GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
1. All the units, except for door station, is designed for indoor use only. Do notuse outdoor.
2. In areas where broadcasting station antennas are close by, the intercom system
may be affected by radio frequency interference.
3. If a cellular phone is used close by, the unit may malfunction.
4. This product, being a control unit of door release, should not be used as a crimeprevention device.
5. It must be noted in advance that the LCD panel, though manufactured with very
high precision techniques, inevitably will have a very small portion of its
picture elements always lit or not lit at all. This is not considered a unit
malfunction.
6. Door station is weather-resistant, but do not spray high-pressure water. Unit
trouble could result.
7. Keep the unit more than 1 m away from Radio or TV set.
8. For wiring, specify CAT5e straight cable.
9. Due to the environmental sound around the unit, it may hinder smoothcommunication, but this is not a malfunction.
10. When outside temperature lowers sharply after rainfall, etc., the inside ofcamera may fog up slightly, causing a blurry picture, but this is not a
malfunction. Normal operation will be restored when moisture evaporates.

Mounting (Mullion door station)
1. Connect the CAT5e cable to the rear of the AX-DM. Use wires#3 (white-green) and #6 (green) as one conductor, and #7(white-brown) and #8 (brown) as the other conductor (RJ-45
jack not used at Mullion door station). The other pairs are notused.
2. Connect the white-green/green pair to the red AX-DM wire,
and the white-brown/brown pair to the brown AX-DM wire.
(Non-polarized, so opposite connection will work as well.)When connecting an IE/IF door station, connect whitegreen/green pair to "1" and white-brown/brown pair to "2".
(Use TIA/EIA568B standard)
3. Lift up the front cover from the bottom and set aside.
4. Fasten unit to wall with the mounting screws. Align the front
cover with the top hook and clip on at the bottom.

Mounting (Vandal-resistant door station)
1. Open the rear cover of the surface mount door station and insert
the CAT5e cable (RJ45 plug). For the AX-DV-P, pass it througheither the top or bottom cable inlet hole. For the AX-DV, pass it
through the top cable inlet hole.
2. Mount as shown in figure 2.
3. Open the rear cover of the flush mount door station and insert
the CAT5e cable. Pass cable through either the top or bottom
cable inlet hole.
4. Mount as shown in figure 4.
5. For a door station with the proximity card reader, install the
card reader from the back.

Mounting (Master station)
1. When using AX-16SW, connect the units with the supplied
cable and secure with the joint bracket. Cut the joint bracket on
the bottom right side of the AX-8M / AX-8MV. When utilizing
more than one AX-16SW, it is necessary to cut the joint bracket
installation section on all but the last module.
2. Remove the mounting bracket and insert the CAT5e cable(RJ45 plug).
3. The master station can either be wall or desk mounted.
a. When wall mounting, first fasten the mounting bracket to thewall, then attach the AX-8M / AX-8MV. When AX-16SW is
included, remove the directory card and secure with mounting
screws, then replace directory card.
b. When locating master on a desk, remove the mounting bracket
and fold out the deskstand feet on the back of the AX-8M / AX8MV and all AX-16SW.
