The handset may cause an unpleasant humming noise in hearing aids.
Do not install the base or charging cradle in bathrooms or shower rooms.
Do not use the phone in environments with a potential explosion hazard, e.g. auto paint shops.
If you give your Gigaset to someone else, make sure you also give them the user guide.

Brief overview

With the Gigaset HC450, the door intercom becomes an integral component of the cordless telephone system. It supports two-way speech using any registered cordless telephone which means that the house telephone no longer has to be permanently located in the entrance area. The Gigaset HC450 door intercom is suitable for practically all single-family residences, including those that only have a bell.

Gigaset Home Control

"Gigaset Home Control" is a standard that allows you to control u household appliances u lights and blinds u alarm systems u heating and air conditioning systems and u door intercoms such as the Gigaset HC450 from a Siemens Gigaset cordless telephone. The full functionality of the HC450 door intercom (opening the door from the handset, forwarding calls to an external number and configuring the system) is available in conjunction with Gigaset cordless telephones that support "Gigaset Home Control". A list of all compatible devices can be found in the Appendix. If you operate the HC450 door intercom using a standard DECT cordless telephone (DECT = technical standard for cordless telephones) that does not support the GAP standard, only the "two-way speech" function will be available. (GAP = cordless telephones that have been developed in accordance with the GAP standard are compatible with each other. This means that handsets from one manufacturer can be operated on a base station from another manufacturer. In this case, however, operation is restricted to the telephones' basic functions.)

Main features

u Two-way speech with callers to the u u u u u
door using the cordless telephone including handsfree Intuitive operation via the handset's softkeys (open door, activate entry light) Easy configuration using the menu on the handset Forwarding to external numbers Ease of installation and registration with the Gigaset system Replacement of the old bell button with the door intercom the existing cabling is generally adequate for installation Support for existing bell and standard door openers Configuration options for the second bell key (separate door call to specific handset, activation of entry lighting, same function as first bell key)

Version 4, 16.09.2005

Brief overview In common with the HC450 door intercom, all other products certified for "Gigaset Home Control" can be easily installed without additional cables and networked with the Gigaset cordless telephone at the push of a button. "Gigaset Home Control" thus grows with your needs. All compatible devices feature the "Gigaset Home Control" logo, making them very easy to identify. You will find more detailed and up-to-date information together with sources of supply for compatible products on the Internet at the following link: www.gigaset-home-control.com

Call diversion

If call diversion is activated for the door intercom, the door call will then be diverted to the external number. The call diversion relates to the top doorbell key. The call diversion can be controlled in different ways: If the occupier is at home he/ she sets "Status: Home", which means that the internal handset will be called first. If no-one answers, the call will then be diverted. If "Status: Away" is set, the door call will immediately be forwarded to an external number.

Example:

In the Smith family's house, handset no. 1 rings when the top doorbell key labelled "Smith family" is pressed. Handset no. 2 belonging to the son will only ring when the bottom doorbell key labelled "Matthew Smith" is pressed. The Smith family has activated call diversion. If no-one from the family is at home, then the call will be forwarded to the father's mobile phone.

Range of applications

Assigning the two doorbell keys
The HC450 door intercom has two doorbell keys, each of which can be assigned different settings.

Top doorbell key:

The top doorbell key activates a connected external bell. At the same time, an internal call is initiated to a specific or to all handsets.

Bottom doorbell key:

u The bottom doorbell key can initiate
another internal call (other handset or other ringer tone) in addition to the external bell. u Its function can also be set identically to the top key or u The entry lighting can be activated when the key is pressed. This requires the lighting system to be connected to the HC450 control unit. If the bottom doorbell key is being used as a "lights key", it cannot function as a "doorbell key". 2
Door opener, bell and entry lighting
The following devices, which are not among the items supplied, can be connected to the HC450 and operated: Door opener: The door can be opened from the Gigaset handset or, in the case of a forwarded call, from a remote location. To do this, a standard door opener must be connected (not supplied). The voltage pulse (12 V alternating voltage) for opening the door is supplied by the HC450. Bell: An existing bell will be connected to the HC450.

Door light:

A light circuit (e.g. the entry lighting) can be switched on from the handset and if applicable via the bottom bell key for between 1 and 90 seconds or also operated in pulse mode. The connection to the floating contact (230 V, 10 A) must be undertaken by a qualified electrician. The illustration below shows the cabling with an existing doorbell (before) and the cabling following installation of the HC450 door intercom and HC450 control unit (after).

Mounting the HC450 control unit

Requirements

The following requirements for mounting must be fulfilled: u The HC450 control unit contains a DECT radio module. This module must be mounted within the base station's radio range (typically around 30 m indoors). Check the range using the handset before fixing the control unit. If a connection from a DECT handset to the DECT base station is possible at the designated location (field strength display shows at least one bar or a call of long duration is possible with satisfactory quality), you can mount the control unit here. If there is no connection to the base station at the designated mounting location, the range can be extended by means of a repeater placed between the base station and control unit. u Mount the HC450 control unit at a suitable location along the junction wire between the bell button and bell. It is recommended that you mount the unit near the bell transformer. This is normally located in the fuse box. Any adjustment required to the fuse box must be undertaken by a qualified electrician.

u u u u

location is selected, familiarise yourself with the location of the cabling beforehand. Watch out for the cabling between the bell button, the bell transformer and the bell. Lay the cables so that nobody can walk on or trip over them. Before finally mounting the control unit, check the placement of the unit with temporary cabling by performing a function test (control unit can register with the base station, stable operation possible with adequate connection quality from the handset to the HC450 door intercom). You should also refer to the mounting instructions for the HC450 door intercom (see p. 7). The control unit must not be installed in a fuse box or metal housing. The control unit must not be installed near air conditioning systems, in areas with strong sunlight or in dusty environments. The control unit must be protected from the direct influence of water and chemicals. Areas with strong magnetic fields (transformers, electric motors, highvoltage lines) must be avoided. Cables must not be connected or disconnected or the HC450 control unit installed during a thunderstorm. Watch out for electrical, water or gas lines in the wall if mounting the control unit on the wall.

Mounting

Remove the terminal cap before mounting. Apply firm pressure to the terminal cap with both thumbs and slide it in the direction of the arrow.
Connecting the HC450 control unit

Using existing cables

Disconnect the existing connection between the doorbell and the bell transformer/bell at an appropriate location, if possible near where the control unit is mounted (see next diagram on left). Connect the open ends for the bell transformer/bell with the "Actuator" terminals in the control unit (polarity is not relevant). Connect the open ends for the doorbell with the "ETS" terminals in the control unit (polarity is not relevant).
The terminal cap will then spring out of the two detent clips. Mark the distance between the two drill holes on the wall. Drill two holes for 6 mm plugs and fix the control unit using the enclosed screws and plugs. For laying the cables, a multi-core communications cable is recommended with a wire profile of 0.6 mm.

New cabling

Connect the 2-core cable of the door intercom to the terminals marked "ETS" in the control unit (see illustration below). Connect the bell transformer/bell to the "Actuator" terminals in the control unit.
Control unit ActuaETS tor Door intercom Door opener Control unit
Connecting entry lighting
If you want to use the bottom doorbell key to switch on the entry lighting, the light source must be connected to the control unit using two cores (see illustration below). The entry lighting can also be switched on/off by means of a switch connected in parallel (see sketch, e.g. motion detector). Alternatively, a sensor input from a timing circuit can also be connected.
The entry light may only be installed by a qualified electrician. Installation work on the control unit must only be carried out after the current-carrying devices have been disconnected from the 230 V mains. Please ensure that the mains voltage is not switched on again until the installation work has been completed. Stranded conductors must not be used for the connection and the insulation on the leads must not be stripped by more than 6 mm. The shrinkage tubes supplied must be pulled over the two wires (see diagram). 6 mm Thermal shrinkage tubes
