Frequently Asked Questions - REQ608X HAGER

How do I install the Hager REQ608X intercom?

Installation requires a flush mounting back box (not supplied). Connect the 2-wire bus to the corresponding terminals on the rear. Ensure the power supply is 12V DC. Refer to the manual for detailed wiring diagrams.

Can I use the REQ608X with any doorbell?

No, the REQ608X is designed to work with Hager door stations only. Check compatibility with your specific model before purchase.

How do I adjust the volume?

Volume is adjusted via a small potentiometer on the side of the unit. Use a flat-head screwdriver to turn it clockwise for louder or counterclockwise for softer audio.

What does the LED indicator mean?

A steady green LED indicates power is on. A flashing red LED during a call means the line is active. No light indicates power failure.

How do I pair the intercom with a door station?

The REQ608X uses a 2-wire bus system; no pairing required. Simply connect the wires from the door station to the same bus terminals. Ensure correct polarity.

The intercom does not ring when the doorbell is pressed. What should I do?

Check the power supply (12V DC) and wiring connections. Verify the door station is compatible and functioning. If the problem persists, test with a known working unit.

How do I clean the intercom?

Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the surface. Do not use water, solvents, or abrasive cleaners. Avoid spraying liquid directly onto the unit.

Can I connect multiple indoor units?

Yes, multiple REQ608X units can be connected in parallel on the same bus. Each unit will ring simultaneously when the doorbell is pressed.

Is the REQ608X weatherproof?

No, it has an IP20 rating and is intended for indoor use only. Install it in a dry location away from direct moisture.

Where can I find spare parts or a replacement?

Spare parts such as screws and back boxes are available from Hager distributors. For replacements, contact Hager customer service or visit their website.

Cleaning and care

Commercially available products for stainless steel and car paintwork care containing a wax component for conservation are recommended for cleaning and care.

Do not use wire wool, wire brushes or any similar products for cleaning. This will prevent damage to the surface and accumulation of flash rust.

Information for electricians

Installation and electrical connection

DANGER!

Touching live parts in the installation environment can result in an electric shock!

An electric shock can be lethal!

Before working on the device or load, disconnect all associated circuit breakers. Cover all live parts in the area!

When installing door communication systems, comply with the general safety regulations for telecommunications systems according to VDE 0800:

• Separate routing of power and door communication cables with a minimum spacing of 10 cm
• Partitions between power and door communication cables in shared trunkings
• Use of standard telecommunications' cables, e.g. J-Y (St) Y with 0.8 mm diameter

Bus cables

- J-Y(ST)Y or A-2Y(L)2Y Use wrapped wire pair. Recommendation white/yellow

- CAT Use wrapped wire pair Recommendation orange/white

- YR Use adjacent wires

Mounting door station

Surface-mounted or flush-mounted housing is installed (see Assembly instruction housing). The connection cables and indoor stations are connected to the line power supply while taking the maximum cable lengths and attenuations into account (see operating instructions of the line power supply).

- The fastening elements supplied with the fl ush-mounted housing must be assembled. To do this, loosen the nuts on the threaded bolts, slide the elements onto the bolts over the 2 nuts and then tighten.

The support bracket (15) of the fastening elements must be located on the wall surface (Figure 4).

Figure 4: Installation position of fastening elements (15) Support bracket of the fastening elements

- Insert opening tool (16) into the mounting device of the lower fastening element (17) on the housing (Figure 5).

Figure 5: Inserted opening tool

(16) Opening tool
(17) Fixing element

- Attach the loops of the safety rope (17) to the upper left suspension of the door station and to the upper fastening element (16) in the housing. Place the door station for installation onto the opening tool (Figure 5).

Connect door station

• Shorten connection cable of the door station and strip the required wires.
• Pull off connection terminal block (13) from the video insert.
• Connect the wire pair of the 2-wire bus cable to the terminals XX of the connection terminal block (Figure 7).
• Connect door release to the terminals TT of the connection terminal block (figure 7 and 8) if required.

or:

- For manipulation-protected installation, connect the door release to the contact □ of the line power supply (Figure 9).

The door release lead must not be inserted through the door station in order to protect against manipulation.

- For call push-button backlighting and camera heating connect 12 V\~ lead from the power transformer to the terminals \~\~ of the connection terminal block (Figure 7).
