Assistance for planning.
Early advantage:
This makes even complex projects easy to manage and easy
to implement at a later stage.
The ABB-Welcome door communication can be used purely
as a 2-wire bus system in new buildings and for modernizing
existing systems. In most cases, the existing lines can be
used. The universally used 2-wire bus technology allows a
bell system to be upgraded to a video system with outdoor
camera.
An ABB-Welcome system can be set up purely as an audio
system. Visitors and residents use it to communicate with
each other between outdoor station and indoor station. Or
it can be a video system. This makes the camera image of
the video outdoor station visible on the ABB-WelcomeTouch.
Video and audio units can also be installed in the same
system. Also the later exchange of audio units with video
units, and the reverse, is possible.*
An ABB-Welcome system is made up of the following units:
» One or more outdoor stations
» One or more indoor stations
» The system controller
» And, if required, additional system devices
All units are connected with each other via the ABB-Welcome
2-wire bus.
* The special system topology of a video system is to be observed (S. 20, Chapter. 02).
** The actual number of apartments is limited by the available bell buttons.

Equipping apartments and entrances with indoor or
outdoor stations
With an ABB-Welcome system buildings can be upgraded
from a one-family house to a large multifamily house. On the
one system up to 15 apartments with audio applications (up
to 12 apartments with video or mixed applications) can have
their own bell connected to the outdoor station.**
Up to four different indoor stations can be installed in each
apartment. They are assigned the same address and ring
simultaneously at an incoming call. Also several indoor
stations with different addresses can be installed in the
one private apartment.
In one ABB-Welcome system up to four different entrances
can be equipped with outdoor stations. The doors can be
opened remote-controlled. The associated lighti ng can also
be switched.
A flexible system. Also for residential buildings with
integrated medical and legal and other offices.
