Up to 2 door stations are supported simultaneously in the intercom system.
Up to 3 indoor stations are supported simultaneously in the intercom system.
Here take 3 wirings as example.

 According to different transmission distances among door stations and indoor stations,
different RVV4 cable specifications are demanded.
Transmission Distance (TD) RVV4 Cable Specification
TD ≤ 10 m RVV4 * 0.2 mm ^2
10 m < TD ≤ 30 m RVV4 * 0.5 mm ^2
30 m < TD ≤ 50 m RVV4 * 0.75 mm ^2
50 m < TD ≤ 100 m RVV4 * 1.5 mm ^2
 On the rear panel of the indoor
station, four-wire interface A and
four-wire interface C compose a
cascading group; and four-wire
interface B and four-wire
interface D compose a cascading
group.
 The communication between A
and B/D cannot be realized.
 The communication between C
and B/D cannot be realized.

Do not connect the power wire of the four-core cable to the V pin (video wire) or A pin
(audio wire) of the four-wire interface.
