Upgrade Your Current Home Intercom System
- First you must check for your model number, witch is located on your master unit.
- Find the number of wires, pull a room station from the wall and count the number of separate wires located at the room unit. These two things will assist you on how to upgrade your system.
- Make sure you have a "Home Run" wiring setup - The DMC3-4 Requires each room unit requires the wiring to be "Home Run" Back to the master unit. This can be checked by removing each room unit, and making sure there is only 1 set of wires coming in, and none going out to another room unit.
- If there is another set of wires going from one room unit, out to another room unit, you have a "Looped System" wich will require the NuTone IM-5000 for upgrading.
- Choose the Proper Equipment - The DMC3-4 System can work with both 3 or 4 wire systems - Simply add either the 3 or 4 wire sub-stations to meet your needs. Then add any extra retro-fit brackets to replace your current system with little wall repair.
- *NOTE If you have a 6 or 8 wire "Home Run" System you can use the standard DMC1 Intercom. For Upgrading.
