Outdoor Station Module for ABB Door Entry SystemsLet visitors initiate calls to indoor stations in your ABB Door Entry System using the ABB Pushbuttons Module with 4-Row Pushbutton for 4/8 Calls. Designed for installation in a custom outdoor station, the module provides four backlit buttons that can each be programmed individually for use either as a single button or as a two-button rocker, allowing customization for various applications. With a button programmed as a two-button rocker, the left side could be used, for example, to call a bottom-floor residence in an apartment complex, while the right side could be used to call a second-floor residence. Initiates calls to indoor stations in the ABB Door Entry System Four buttons serve as single buttons or two-button rockers Each button calls either one station or one entire residence Backlit nameplates offer custom labelling option High-quality nameplate printing through supporting software Installs into an ABB Flush Mounted Box with an audio module When a visitor presses a pushbutton to initiate a call to an indoor station, one of the three status LEDs on your Audio Module (sold separately, required) indicates whether the call is successfully made or the system is busy. If the call is successful, the call LED illuminates. A second LED illuminates when communication is possible, and the third LED illuminates if the resident has remotely unlocked a connected door for the visitor to enter.Each button on the Pushbuttons Module additionally serves as a customizable backlit nameplate, giving you the option of labeling the buttons. The backlight offers clear visibility at night. Each nameplate is easily extracted without having to disassemble the entire module, and high-quality nameplate printing is accomplished with free downloadable supporting software.Installation DetailsAs an outdoor station module, the ABB Pushbuttons Module connects to the System Controller (sold separately) using two wires, and installs into an ABB Flush Mounted Box (sold separately) at the size of your choosing. The module should be combined with at least an audio module (sold separately) in a multi-gang box. Once your box size is chosen, a same-size ABB Aluminum Faceplate is also required to finish the custom-built outdoor station.After the module is wired into the Door Entry System, it simply snaps into the box, and the faceplate snaps over it onto the box. The box can be flush- or surface-mounted with accessories.NOTE: Requires 2-wire connection to a System Controller, sold separately. Installation hardware and printing on nameplates not included.About the ABB Door Entry SystemAlso known as the "Welcome" system, the Door Entry System is a first-of-its-kind modular intercom and access control system that offers one flexible solution for any intercom and entry security application. Customizable, nearly endlessly scalable, and easy to install, the system is perfect for any building, from a small single-family home to a huge residential complex.System Features: Complete intercom and access control solution for any building One system supports up to 60 buildings and 250 stations per building Connections require only 2 wires for ultra-flexible installations Standard range up to 1,968 feet (600 m), extends with power boosters Free mobile apps for iOS and Android provide remote intercom access No fees required to enable Internet connection – ABB provides servers Station Features: Modular outdoor stations allow easy customization and repairs Pre-assembled outdoor stations facilitate quick installation for standard applications Optionally install ABB indoor stations and/or use mobile devices as indoor stations Indoor stations optionally support door strike release for remote unlocking Optionally select indoor stations with built-in induction loops for hearing aid users How to Build Your SystemEvery ABB Door Entry System needs at least two components: a System Controller (either standard or mini) and an Audio Module (any variation). With these two foundational components, the system can be expanded and customized as needed. Additional system components may include: Custom Modular Outdoor Stations Audio Module (speaker/mic, with or without pushbuttons) Pushbutton Module (with or without built-in card reader) Keypad Module (with or without built-in card reader) Display Module with Built-In Card Reader Camera Module Nameplate Module Pre-Assembled Outdoor Stations Hands-Free Indoor Stations (with or without video screen and/or induction loop) Handset Indoor Stations (with or without video screen and/or induction loop) Guard Unit (specialized station for security monitoring) Mobile Devices (requires Telephone Gateway and/or IP Gateway) Telephone Gateway (for integrating mobile or landline phones) IP Gateway (for enabling remote Internet access) Switch Actuator (for relay control) Camera Interface (for connecting third-party analog cameras) Elevator Lift Control Relay Module (for elevator/floor access control) Other accessories are also available for installation and connection. Most notably, in order to build a custom modular outdoor station, you will need to select the modules you wish to include in the station, and then match the number of modules to the appropriate size Flush-Mounted Box and Faceplate. (Flush-mounted boxes support optional surface-mounting in addition to flush-mounting. When surface-mounting, a Rain Hood is also required; only optional when surface-mounting.) The screwless, snap-on design of both outdoor and indoor stations makes installation a breeze.Easy Planning with ABB ConfiguratorThe ABB website provides an intuitive online configuration tool to help you with system planning.
