How the 1 riser scheme works
In the 1 riser configuration, all floor taps are chained in series from the street panel to the top floor. Each 346841 tap connects the 2 monitors of that floor to the main 2-wire BUS:
- The SFERA New panel connects to the first 346841 tap (ground floor or 1st floor)
- The taps are chained in series floor by floor
- Each tap powers 2 monitors (left and right homes on each floor)
- The last riser tap ends the section with the DIN micro switch
Jumper configuration — Attention!
⚠️ WARNING: Configure and insert the jumpers with the system POWERED OFF. If the configuration is changed with the system running, power must be cut and restored to the system, waiting approximately 1 minute.
- Optional actuator for additional function commands: stair lights, additional locks, various activations
- Check the device datasheet for exact connection and configuration
- For the outdoor panel, SFERA panels with push-button call, digital call as main and secondary PE, and the Linea 5000 panel can be used interchangeably
- Switch ON the DIN micro switch located on the back of the last video door phone or doorman that ends the section
MASTER / SLAVE function in each home
If 2 monitors are installed in the same home (for example Classe 300, Classe 300X with Netatmo or Classe 300X), the system operates in MASTER-SLAVE mode:
- When the call arrives, the MASTER turns on and rings; the SLAVE only rings
- When answering from the SLAVE, the MASTER turns off and the SLAVE monitor turns on
- Allows having 2 monitors per home with coordinated behavior without interference
