Setup and Installation

Proper installation is crucial for optimal performance. Please follow these general steps. Refer to the detailed wiring diagrams included with your product for specific connections.

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove all components from the packaging and verify that all parts are present.
2. Mounting the Door Station (JO-DV): Select a suitable outdoor location, typically near an entrance, at a height that allows for clear viewing of visitors. Mount the JO-DV unit securely using appropriate hardware. Ensure it is protected from direct heavy rain if possible.
3. Mounting the Master Station (JO-1MD): Choose an indoor location where the master station is easily accessible for communication. Mount the JO-1MD unit to a wall using the provided bracket.
4. Wiring: Connect the JO-DV door station to the JO-1MD master station using appropriate wiring (typically 2-conductor, shielded cable). Connect the PS-1820UL power supply to the JO-1MD master station as per the wiring diagram. Ensure all connections are secure and correct before applying power.
5. Powering On: Once all connections are verified, plug the PS-1820UL power supply into a standard electrical outlet. The system should power on, and the master station display will activate.
6. Testing: Test the system by pressing the call button on the door station and verifying that the master station rings and displays video. Test two-way audio communication and the door release function (if connected to an electric lock).
