STEP 5: PREPARING THE POWER SUPPLY

The device can be powered by two simple doorbell wires using the power-

supply unit (mains adaptor) supplied with it or via PoE (Power over Ethernet)

using a network cable. The device can alternatively also be supplied with a

DIN-rail power supply unit that you can obtain from us directly. The device

does not use battery power.

Power supply using the power-supply unit (mains adaptor)

Two insulated wires are required to power the device by connecting it to the

power-supply unit (mains adaptor) supplied with it. These wires are normally

already there and are freely accessible once you have removed the previous

door chime. You can also connect the power supply without any additional

wires to the door chime, the power supply has a 300cm long cable with two

insulated wires. If you need longer wiring, connect the wires of the power

supply using the supplied crimp connectors with the two wires that you want

to use for the power supply.

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 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 inside your house, usually where the two wires from your

previous door chime comes out of the wall in the interior of the house.

Power supply via PoE (as an alternative)

To power the device via a PoE-Switch (e.g. D-Link DGS-1008P) or PoE-Injector

(e.g. DoorBird Gigabit PoE Injector or TP-Link TL-PoE150S) in accordance with

the PoE standard IEEE 802.3af Mode A, the four wires bearing the numbers 1,

2, 3 and 6 of a Cat.5 cable or better are to be used. A Cat.5 cable or better must

be used as network signals can only be transmitted over completely insulated,

shielded and twisted cables. If you use PoE as a source of power, the WiFi

interface of the device is automatically inactive, and the four wires for PoE then

simultaneously form the data link. The device won’t start if your PoE Switch

or PoE injector does not support the PoE Standard IEEE 802.3af Mode A (see

Diagnostic-LED and Diagnostic-Sounds).

1. Disconnect the PoE-Switch or PoE-Injector from the power grid.

2. Place the network cable in the installation site of the device.

Do not combine the power supply from the power supply unit (mains adaptor)

with the power supply via PoE. You can find further information about PoE
