4.1. Kompatibilitet
The DR-4UM lobby panel is designed to be compatible with ComMax interphone series, such as the DP-SS indoor handsets. Ensure all components of your intercom system are compatible before installation.
4.2. Montering
The DR-4UM is a flush-mounted unit. Select a suitable location at the building entrance, ensuring it is protected from direct weather exposure if possible, and at an appropriate height for visitors.

Figure 2: Installation Dimensions (Measurements in mm)
Refer to Figure 2 for precise dimensions and mounting hole locations. Prepare the wall opening according to these measurements for a flush fit.
4.3. Ledningsdiagram
The DR-4UM requires a DC12V, 500mA power source (e.g., ComMax RF-1A). The wiring involves a common 3-wire connection plus individual wires for each apartment.

Figure 3: Wiring Diagram for DR-nUM (DR-4UM) with DP-SS and RF-1A
Follow the wiring diagram in Figure 3 carefully. Connect the lobby panel to the indoor handsets (DP-SS) and the power supply (RF-1A). Ensure all connections are secure and correctly polarized. Incorrect wiring can damage the unit or prevent proper operation.
- Strømtilslutning: Connect the DC12V power supply to the designated terminals (CN3 in the diagram).
- Interphone Connection: Connect the 4-pin connectors from the DR-4UM to the DP-SS indoor units. The diagram shows common wires (1, 2, 3) and individual apartment wires (L1 for each DP-SS).
- Electric Door Strike (Optional): If an electric door strike is used, connect it as shown in the diagram, ensuring it has its own power source.
