Introduction The VMC1H installation rough-in prepares the home to accommodate the video intercom system. A VMC1MB mounting bracket is necessary for the Master Station. Room stations and the Alloy Color Video Door Station (VMC1VDS) can be mounted directly onto finished walls. All other door stations require a rough-in enclosure (VMC1HR). The VMC1HR is also recommended for installing room stations in new construction or installations where the drywall has not yet been installed.

Overview The VMC1 System Room Stations Designed for installation in new homes, the VMC1 is a Whole House Color Video Security Intercom system that provides room to room communication, multiple camera support, basic home automation controls, and video security for mid to large residential applications. VMC1 provide years of service and security for the homeowner as many people move into ‘smart home’ environment.
Wiring Information Cables and Wiring Cable Type and Configuration Excellent locations to run cables include: • Roof space • False ceilings/ bulkhead area • Through and/or around external walls • Under floors (subject to access being available) • Underground in conduit The general intercom functions for VMC1 can be cabled using Cat-5 or Cat-6 cables. If required, 6-conductor telephone cables can be used provided the system is configured for 6-wire operation.
Master Station Rough-In VMC1MB Master Station Mounting Bracket VMC1MB Installation - Unfinished Wall The VMC1MB mounts flush with the wall stud and holds the Master Station and Power Supply (See Figure 1). Position the VMC1MB at a suggested height of 4-1/2 to 5-1/2 feet from the floor to center of the unit. As all wiring from other stations is generally terminated at the rear of the Master Station, the wall should be no less than 3 inches deep.
Master Station Rough-In VMC1MB Installation - Finished Wall Cut out an opening in the drywall (Height 7-1/4” x Width 11”) but do not cut right up against the wall stud. Allow 5/8” clearance between drywall opening and stud.This ensures that drywall will overlap bracket (See Figure 2). Slide the VMC1MB vertically, then turn clockwise 90˚. Mount in place onto stud using fasteners as shown. Hang Power Supply on VMC1MB in the lower right corner as shown.
Room Station Rough-In Room Station Mounting Room Station Installation - Finished Wall The Room Stations are normally mounted at a height from the floor of: 4-1/2’ to 5’. The Room Stations are not designed to be installed outdoors. Identify the location where the Room Station is to be installed. Cut a 3-1/2” x 7-3/4” rectangular hole in the drywall. When possible, one short edge should be situated against a wall stud to provide added support when installing the Room Station.
Door Station Rough-In VMC1VDS Door Station Rough-in The VMC1VDS is a metal door station with a 90 degree horizontal viewing area. It is normally mounted at a height from the floor of: 55” – 60”. When installing the VMC1VDS be aware of the camera location and the direction of sunlight and other ambient light. Direct sun or lighting into the lens of the VMC1VDS camera may impact the video quality. Additionally, exposure to extreme weather conditions is not recommended.
Door Station Rough-In VMC1HR Rough-in Enclosure VMC1VDS-S/BZ Door Station Rough-in The VMC1VDS-S and VMC1VDS-BZ incorporate a wide angle 120 degree horizontal viewing camera into a Door Station. It is normally mounted at a height from the floor of: 55” – 60”. Installation of this unit on an exterior wall requires 4 screws and anchors (See Figure 6). When installing these units, be aware of the camera location and the direction of sunlight and other ambient light.
Power Supply Rough-In TE6D Power Supply Power Supply Connections The Power Supply unit is pre-wired and self contained, and the wires are tucked inside. To access connection wires, open the Power Supply unit by removing four screws as shown in Figure 6. In the unlikely case that the TE6D electrical connectors become unplugged, the 3-pin and 6-pin connector blocks can be re-installed in their respective locations on the power supply board. Plug connectors in as shown.
Power Supply Rough-In Power Supply Wiring 1. Run a 14 AWG 120 VAC power cable (including ground) from a dedicated 15-amp circuit breaker to the Master Station Mounting Bracket location. The VMC1 requires a dedicated power source so there’s no interference from other equipment. 2. Route incoming power cable into the Power Supply enclosure through the hole on the SIDE of the Power Supply. 3. Use wire nuts to connect the incoming power cable to the TE6D Power Supply BLACK (HOT) and WHITE (NEUTRAL) input wires.
Data Hub Wiring H628 Data Hub The H628 Data Hub is used to connect each station to the Master Station. TIA-568A WIRING STANDARD Pull Wires Pull all the Door and Room Station cables to the location of the Master Station Mounting Bracket (VMC1MB). DATA HUB RJ-45 MODULAR PLUG If the installation consists of more than 5 room stations, Linear recommends using the optional Linear DMD-16 (16 stations) Data Distribution module and the Model H275 Universal Bracket (Optional, see Appendix A).
Antenna Installation Radio Antennas VMC1 requires two antennas, one for AM and one for FM reception. The AM antenna is a 25-foot wire the FM antenna is a 25-foot length of coax with a “T” shaped wire dipole at one end that attaches between rafters in the attic. ORIENTATE FM ANTENNA FOR STRONGEST RECEPTION Antenna arrangement is crucial to quality radio reception. AM and FM antennas should be placed at the highest point of the roof and at least six feet away from any electrical or intercom wiring.
Auxiliary Output Rough-In Door Release Rough-in Chime Activated Control Output Rough-In The Door Release Trigger can be activated from the VMC1 Master or any remote room station by pressing the Lock button. The Trigger will deactivate after 4 seconds and can be activated multiple times while the intercom is active. The Chime Activated Control Output allows for any number of security related automation functions including 10 available door chimes. To connect an auxiliary Chime refer to Figure 10.
