These telephone integration systems may be installed on the phone line in either one of two ways: plug&play or intercept, which accomodates a whole host of wiring conditions and requirements. Stand-alone installations with no interaction with a phone line are also readily feasible, particularly when interconnecting with a PBX phone system.

These Controllers are designed to be installed at the usual home utility location where all wires are aggregated, whether a regular incoming land phone line is to be put to use or the dial tone is to be delivered in the middle of the home by a VOIP box or a cell phone docker as shown. The plug&play install mode ought to be used for the latter. See the required Plug-in couplers for that mode.

If you don't want to maintain a landline and wish to have your cell phone line provide for telephone service to your household phones with intercom between them, easy!

The plug&play mode typically requires no tooling, allowing the Controller to be installed virtually anywhere in the home in any situation. The intercept mode, whereby the Controller remains near the headend side of the dial tone, may require some minor tooling in order to split the incoming dial tone line and tie both ends of the split to the Controller.

In new home or renovation projects, we recommend Shielded CAT5 cabling (STP) in order to provide enhanced noise immunity to this critical system. This is particularly required when the wholehouse audio/music service is to be at play.

In retrofitting projects with existing standard (Unshielded or UTP) CAT5 wiring, these systems will run just fine however. Keep in mind though that It is always better to use shielded wiring versus unshielded in the overly electrically noisy and crowded home environments today. Whenever given a choice, use shielded cabling. These Controllers can be used with single-jack outlets, dual jack outlets or multi-port jacks, depending on the nature and number of services desired by the homeowner.

All exterior doorphones wire to the Controller with one twisted pair for each (CAT5) or with stranded wire (24 AWG). Doorchime boxes wire to the Controller with (CAT5) twisted pair or with standard stranded wire (24 AWG). In retrofit applications, existing wiring and transformer circuit for the Doorchime can be kept unaltered by splicing the doorbell button wires to a new wirerun or a twisted pair toward the Controller.

RG6 or RG56 cabling is required to carry the video signal from video doorphone stations whenever the wirerun must exceed 50 ft. CAT5 wiring may be used for such purposes as long as a balun is used at each end of the twisted pair. You will be required to use a small video amplifier, available in most hardware stores, whenever the video wire run exceeds 1000 ft. Also required one twisted pair (or 24 AWG stranded wire) from the video doorphone station to the power port (12VDC) of the Controller for power feed of the camera. Therefore a total of 3 wire pairs are required for video doorphones.

All alarm detectors wire to the Controller with 2 twisted pairs: 12VDC power and sensor signal. Power feed can be run in daisy-chain wherever practical. All doorstrikes and deadbolts wire to the Controller with one wire pair to be CAT5 or 24 AWG. Access Keypads connect to the Controller with 2 twisted pairs: 18VAC or 24VDC power feed and contact closure output.

When an Entry Access Panel is used for a duplex application, one CAT5 twisted pair will connect the Panel to each apartment/home, for a total of 2 pairs. Power feed for the Panel can be drawn from the Controller (18VAC) or from a separate adaptor shipping with the Panel, all via 24 AWG wireruns. The Doorstrike wires directly into the Panel with 2 wires only.

Finally, these telephone integration Controllers feature a built-in auto-test routine upon power up which ensure that proper conditions are met on the phone wirelines. The routine also casts indications of possible problem for eventual correction by installer. Many of these Controllers also ship with a mini Spare Wire Test kit that is very handy in retrofit applications due to use the plug&play install mode. As if all of this was not enough, these Controllers feature a cabinet with cable management fixtures so the installer may achieve a keen professional installation.

As you know, if your home wiring is run daisy-chain (point-to-point), you may not install a key system, PBX or any star-wiring-based telephone system. The Ennovah integration systems install on both daisy-chain wiring and home-run wiring and seamlessly interwork with any wireless phone system. Installs in minutes!

Any handy homeowner will be able to easily install any one of the Ennovah systems that require some tooling. However if your project is very involved or if you simply prefer to hire a contractor, here is who you will want to hire to install your system.
