Power
This intercom comes with a 24V dc power supply. The intercom requires up to 2 amps peak
demand at times, therefore power cable is of extreme importance. Using insufficient power cable
thickness will cause excessive stress on electronic components, and can therefore void the
manufacturer’s warranty. To avoid such problems, it is recommended (and is good practice) to
locate the power supply as close to the intercom as possible. This avoids power cable noise and
interference and enhances the lifetime of the product.
Solar Power
You can use solar power if required. You will require a DC voltage regulator applied at the gate
board end as the voltage output can vary and cause too high a voltage, which will damage the
intercom if over the 26v DC.
Our systems would require as a minimum a 30W of solar panel capacity and 10Ah battery
capacity for our intercoms.
