Introduction Linear’s M&S Systems brand Model DMC-10 Structured Wiring Intercom System offers several advanced features never before available in an intercom system. Its distributed hub design provides easy installation and structured wiring mounting compatibility necessary for modern residential and light commercial applications. The room, door, and patio stations showcase a new, contemporary design, crafted to blend smoothly into the installation’s decor.
Safety Information and Cautions Explanation of Graphic Warning Symbols This symbol is intended to alert the user to the presence of un-insulated “dangerous voltage” within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock. This symbol is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the device.
Safety Information and Cautions (Continued) Important Safety Notes POWER SOURCE This unit should only be connected to a 110-120 VAC power source as marked on the unit. GROUNDING OR POLARIZATION Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety.

Installation System Design Evaluate the installation to determine locations for mounting the intercom components. The intercom hub mounts in a new or existing structured wiring enclosure. The DMC-10RS room stations can be located in any rooms that require communications. DMC-10PS patio stations are weather resistant and designed to be mounted in protected areas outdoors.
Installation (Continued) Junction Box Installation Each intercom station mounts inside a standard 2-gang J-box. Mount the J-boxes flush with the drywall at locations and heights convenient for the installation. MOUNT 2-GANG J-BOX AT EACH STATION LOCATION System Wiring Route Cat-5 or Cat-5e cable from each station’s J-box to the structured wiring enclosure where the hub will be mounted. Drill through studs and headers to accommodate cabling.
Installation (Continued) Hub Wiring Use a Type 110 punch-down tool (if using an impact tool, set the tool to “low” force!) to connect the Cat-5 cable from each station to the color coded connectors on the hub. Wire the door station(s) first. The hub’s station location number determines the sound of the door station’s chime.
Installation (Continued) Optional Expansion Hub Installation To increase the system’s capacity, a second hub can be connected to the primary hub. The hubs connect to each other with up to 150 feet of Cat-5 cable. Each hub requires its own power supply. Mount the second hub in the enclosure (or in another enclosure). Connect the primary hub to the second hub using the connectors labeled EXPANSION.
Installation (Continued) Hub Options The intercom hub has two banks of dipswitches. One bank enables or disables each door station’s door button. The other bank release enables or disables each door or patio station’s privacy mute and donot-disturb feature. Select the options appropriate for the installation. The numbers on the dipswitches correspond to the hub’s station numbers. Mark the switch settings in the log on Page 17.
General Operation Intercom Features Each room and patio station can be used for communication with other room, patio, or door stations. Also, room and patio stations feature four special constant modes for room monitoring and privacy. If the optional audio input wall plate is installed, room and patio stations can be set to play to the audio source connected to the wall plate. Volume Control Volume at each station can be set with its VOL button.
General Operation (Continued) Door to Room and Door to Patio Communications When visitors arrive, they push a door station button to announce their arrival. Pressing the door station’s button sounds a chime on all stations (unless the station is set to Do-not-disturb Mode). Door Button To communicate with the visitor at the door station, press and hold the room or patio station’s DOOR button while speaking. Release the DOOR button to listen to the visitor for 25 seconds.
General Operation (Continued) Room to Room and Room to Patio Communications A typical use for the system is to communicate between room stations throughout the installation and to patio stations. Talk Button To communicate with other people at room or patio stations, press and hold the room station’s TALK button while speaking. Release the TALK button to listen to all other room and patio stations for 25 seconds (except stations in Privacy Mute or Do-not-disturb Modes).
General Operation (Continued) Patio to Room and Patio to Patio Communications A person at the patio station can make a call to the room stations, or another patio station. For security and privacy, the patio station will not trigger hands-free reply from room or other patio stations. Talk Button To communicate with people inside, press and hold the patio station’s TALK button while speaking. Release the TALK button and wait for a reply from the inside stations.
Constant Modes Four special constant modes are available for room stations and patio stations. Each room and patio station can be set to one of the four modes. Constant modes remain in effect, even after the intercom is used for other functions.
Constant Modes (Continued) Monitor Mode Monitor Mode is typically used for monitoring a baby or other sounds in a room. When a room or patio station is set to Monitor Mode, the station’s microphone is always on. Set other stations to Listen Mode (see below) to hear sounds from any station(s) set to Monitor Mode. To enter or exit Monitor Mode, press the station’s MUTE and TALK buttons together. In Monitor Mode, the station’s TALK button lights.
