The ideal system for every building
More is possible. ABB-Welcome systems offer flexible

solutions. Planning is made as simple for you as are installation
or commissioning. The 2-wire bus technique makes possible
the suitable layout to fully meet the requirements of the user.
One-family house, audio/video Fig. 1

ABB-Welcome systems consist at least of a system controller,
outdoor station and indoor station. In Fig. 1 three indoor
stations are installed in the one house. When a visitor rings
the bell at the ABB-Welcome video outdoor station, the call
can be answered either at the ABB-WelcomeTouch, at the
ABB-Welcome audio indoor station with display or the ABBWelcome audio indoor station with handset.
Multifamily house, audio Fig. 2

Retrofitting an ABB-Welcome system in a multifamily house
with existing wiring is very easy. Even a plain bell system
can be converted to audio or video. Depending on the local
circumstances, an installation with recourse to a rising mains,
as shown in Figure 2, is recommended. The wires branch off
on each floor where the existing apartments are located
to where an audio indoor station with handset is mounted.
There the user can answer incoming calls, open the door and
switch on the lights in the stairwell. Also floor call buttons can
be used. These are connected to the indoor station.

For buildings with several entrances (doctor's office, law firm,
small workshops, or similar), these can be individually equipped
with ABB-Welcome outdoor stations. A combination of ABBWelcome audio outdoor stations and ABB-Welcome video
outdoor stations is possible. For this a video outdoor distributor
as MDRC unit must be used. The door from which the bell is
rung is opened from the indoor station called.

Assistance for planning.
Early advantage: With the planning aids for ABB-Welcome.

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
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.
All units are connected with each other via the ABB-Welcome
2-wire bus.
* T he special system topology of a video system is to be observed (S. 20, Chapter. 02).
** T he actual number of apartments is limited by the available bell buttons.

Options of flexible addressing

Assigning doorbell push-buttons to apartments
The doorbell push-buttons of an outdoor station can be freely
assigned to an apartment. When the doorbell push-button is
pressed the call is received at the fixed address. The option
of flexible addressing allows the ABB-Welcome system to
be adapted to the individual requirements of the user. This
is a big advantage especially when a system has several
outdoor stations.
System controller and auxiliary power supply Fig. 7

The system controller supplies the other bus subscribers with
voltage and controls communication on the 2-wire bus. Starting from the system controller, the 2-wire bus divides into three
bus lines, the external bus and the two internal bus lines.
The use of several outdoor stations: uniform assignment

of call buttons Fig. 5
With several outdoor stations within an ABB-Welcome system
the call buttons of each outdoor station are generally assigned
similarly. This means that all apartments can be called from
all outdoor stations. This is practical for buildings with several
entrances from each of which all apartments are accessible.
These hints should definitely be observed to prevent faults

from occurring during the audio and video transmission.
Several outdoor stations with different bell fields Fig. 6

Alternatively, the call buttons of the various outdoor stations
can be assigned differently when all apartments are to be
called from one outdoor station and only some apartments
from additional outdoor stations.
In the example an outdoor station is mounted at the gate
entrance with which all four apartments can be called. One
outdoor station is on the left building with apartments 01 and
02 and a further outdoor station on the right building with
apartments 03 and 04. This means that only two apartments
can be called from these two outdoor stations.
The use of several outdoor stations: assigning the
standard outdoor station
The ABB-Welcome system guarantees the opening of the
door at several outdoor stations at which the visitor has rung
the bell. The resident simply presses the button "Open door"
at the indoor station. Also the associated light at the entrance
can be switched on. Opening and switching in the apartment
is also possible without an existing outside call.
For several entrances with a system with outdoor stations, one
standard outdoor station is defined for opening the door and
switching the light. The setting is made at the indoor stations of
each apartment. With the ABB-WelcomeTouch the camera image
of an outdoor station can also be activated without having
received a call. Here the camera image of the standard outdoor
station is displayed.
* Detailed information about calculations, starting from page 24, Chapter 02.
The ABB-Welcome system controller additionally offers options

for connecting a door opener and hallway or path illumination.
The switching times can be set on the device.
Notes:
All branches of the wiring system should be terminated by
a connected bus device (e.g., an indoor station, outdoor
station or a system device). This means that no branches
are to be open.
The system controller should not be installed in the
immediate vicinity of bell transformers or other switched
power supplies to prevent interference.
Do not install the lines of the system bus together with
230V cables.
Connection cables for door openers should not be placed
in the same cable as the lines of the 2-wire bus.
Avoid transitions between different cable types.
In a cable with four or more wires, only one pair of wires
should be used for the 2-wire bus.
When looping the 2-wire bus to a bus that is incoming or
outgoing from a device, it should not be installed in the
same cable.
Internal and external bus must not laid in the same cable.
A system controller makes 65 consumer units available to the
ABB-Welcome. They are used to supply the connected devices.
In a one-family house, for example, this allows one video
outdoor station as well as up to four ABB-WelcomeTouch
to be operated.
In a multifamily house, for example, this allows a system with
one ABB-Welcome audio outdoor station with 15 bell buttons
and 30 audio indoor stations with handset (i.e. two per
apartment) to be operated by one system controller. For a
larger number of units an auxiliary power supply is required.*

Auxiliary power supplies

Auxiliary power supplies can be connected to the internal bus
lines at any position. They serve for the connection of indoor
stations. One auxiliary power supply makes available 45 consumer
units. Neither they nor the connected devices put a load on the
system controller.
The use of auxiliary power supplies increases the number of
devices in a system. The maximum signal range measured
from the system controller is not increased. The indoor
stations can be connected to each of the four outputs of the
auxiliary power supply. A uniform distribution of the outputs is
recommended.
Cable type and signal ranges
The following cable types with a diameter of 0.8 mm are
recommended:
Telecommunication lines J-Y(St)-Y
Bell lines YR
Telecommunication lines for outdoor A-2Y(L)2Y
The following cable types should not be used:
Antenna cables
NYM cables
Riser cables
C able with a diameter smaller than 0.6 mm

he shortened length of cable in comparison to the signal range of the
ABB-Welcome indoor audio station with display results from the increase
in current consumption in comparison to the ABB-Welcome audio indoor
station with handset. When the maximum number of devices at the system
controller is exceeded, an auxiliary power supply must be used. In turn, for
each of the four outputs of the auxiliary power supply the number of devices
and limits of cable length specified in the table apply.
Note: The maximum cable length specified applies to cables with

a diameter of 0.8 mm. For a diameter of 0.6 mm the length of
cable is halved.
Topology rules for the internal and external bus

Indoor stations, outdoor stations and system devices must
be connected to the system controller according to topology
rules for ABB-Welcome systems.
Topology rules for audio systems Topology rules for
Fig. 9
audio systems Fig. 8
For planning an ABB-Welcome audio system in which, next
to control information, only one audio signal is transmitted on
a 2-wire bus.
Audio system: Connection of devices on the internal bus
The following devices, aside from the system controller, are
usually connected to the internal bus of an audio system:
ABB-Welcome audio indoor station with handset
ABB-Welcome audio indoor station with display
ABB-Welcome auxiliary power supply
There are two options for wiring the devices: Looping and
branch line connections ("stub lines"). Both versions can be
combined within the one system.
Audio system: Looping the internal bus

For looping a continuous bus line the incoming and outgoing
2-wire bus is connected at each device as shown in Fig. 8.
Adevice must be connected to the end of the bus line so
that the bus line does not remain "open". In all devices of the
audio system the terminal resistor should not be activated
the switch "RC" is always on "OFF". Fig. 8
Audio system: Internal bus stub lines
As an alternative to looping, the devices can also be
connected at the end of a branch line or stub line:
An example of this layout: A rising mains in a building
connects the floors and the stub lines branch off on the
floors. Fig. 9
A topology with a rising mains and several stub lines can
easily be set up in an audio system. Here the bus lines are
switched parallel to the branch connections.
Note: For all devices the terminal resistor should not be

activated the switch "RC" is always on "OFF".

Audio system: Connection of devices to the external bus

Fig. 10
The following devices, aside from the system controller, are

usually connected to the external bus of an audio system:
ABB-Welcome audio outdoor station
Switch actuator, door/light
Up to four outdoor stations can be connected. For each of
these, two switch actuators for opening doors and switching
lights can be used. When installing only one outdoor station,
the door opening or light function of the system controller can
be used.
The connection is made directly on their external bus. With
two or more outdoor stations, star-shaped wiring is to be
selected. The star point is to be located as close to the
system controller as possible. Fig. 10
It is irrelevant whether the external bus is terminated from an
audio outdoor station or a switch actuator.
Note: Neither the ABB-Welcome audio outdoor station nor
the switch actuator have a switch for the terminal resistor.
Topology rules for video systems

An ABB-Welcome video system with transmission of the
control information, of the audio signal as well as the video
signal is planned as follows:
Video system: Connection of devices on the internal bus
The devices used for setting up an audio system can also be
used for setting up a video system. This means system
controller, ABB-Welcome audio outdoor station and audio
indoor station. And, depending on the layout, the following
devices are additionally connected to the internal bus.
ABB-WelcomeTouch
ABB-Welcome IP gateway
Video indoor distributor
Video system: Looping the internal bus Fig. 11
The 2-wire bus for a video system can be looped from device
to device similar to an audio system. This results in a continuous
bus line.
The terminal resistor must be activated on the last device of
the bus line the switch "RC" is set to "ON". For all other
devices the switch is set on "OFF".
Video system: Internal bus stub lines Fig. 12
As an alternative to looping, the devices can also be
connected at the video system via stub line. In this case a
video distributor is to be used on all branch connections.
The video indoor distributor exist as MDRC unit for mounting
in a sub-distribution or as built-in device for flush-mounted
installation in a branch box. The terminal resistor must be
activated on the last device of each stub line and at the end
of the riser main the switch "RC" is set to "ON".

The following devices, aside from the system controller and

the previously listed devices, are usually connected to the
external bus of an video system:
ABB-Welcome video outdoor station
ABB-Welcome video outdoor distributor
For a video system only, branch connections with one
outdoor video distributor each are permitted for wiring several
ABB-Welcome video outdoor stations. Additional devices
such as the corridor/light switch actuators or ABB-Welcome
audio outdoor station can be connected via looping. For
systems with up to four ABB-Welcome video outdoor stations
we recommend the topologies shown.
It is irrelevant whether the external bus is terminated from an
audio outdoor station or a switch actuator.
Utilization of the two internal bus lines Fig. 16
Two internal bus lines can be connected to the system
controller via the two terminal pairs. Depending on the layout
of the building, the following divisions are recommended:
All devices are connected to an internal bus line. The second
internal bus line remains unoccupied for later applications.
T he devices are distributed uniformly on the two internal
bus lines. This allows two rising mains to be implemented,
for example.
For the second version one internal bus line can be used for
audio only. This is wired according to the rules for audio
systems. No video distributors are required on the branch
connections and the terminal resistors are to be set on
"OFF". The other internal bus line for video and, if
necessary, for audio is to be wired according to the
rules for video.
The following applies to the system limits:

When calculating the consumer units, all devices without
a power supply that are connected to the internal bus line
must be taken into consideration.
For a pure audio internal bus line the signal range is 300 m.
For a video internal bus line the signal range is 100 m.
For each internal bus line the upper limits for the device
apply which are listed in the Table on page 18, Chapter 02.
Notes:
The twisted pairs of both internal bus lines must not be
installed in the same cable.
The two internal bus lines must not be connected together.
Connection of floor call buttons
In multifamily houses the floor call buttons for ringing at the
apartment door are mostly installed in the stairwell or corridor.
In an ABB-Welcome system a floor call button for connecting
to an indoor station is provided for each apartment. If available,
two wires of the cable can be used, which also includes the
2-wire bus. The maximum distance from the indoor station
to the floor call button can be 50 metres. When the button
is pressed all indoor stations will ring. At the indoor station a
separate bell sound can be selected for the floor call and the
call from the outdoor station.

General information for the installation of an ABB-Welcome

system in new and existing buildings. The installation of flushmounted and surface-mounted devices as well as MDRC units
is described in detail in the operating manuals of the devices.
Installation instructions for new buildings

The following should be ensured when setting up a reliable,
simple, economical and future-oriented ABB-Welcome
system:
T he use of telecommunication cables J-Y(St)-Y in the
indoor and A-2Y(L)2Y in the outdoor area with a diameter
of 0.8 mm. In addition to the wire pair of the ABB-Welcome
2-wire bus, other pairs of wires can be kept as "reserve"
in the same cable. For example, for later connection to a
Busch-Watchdog movement detector in the outdoor area
or as power supply for future bus devices.
F or smaller systems: Looping the internal bus from device
to device
F or larger systems: Setup of a structure with a rising mains
and several stub lines. If two rising mains are provided, the
two internal bus lines can be used.
An ABB-Welcome audio system should make later

conversion to video easy. The conversion includes the
exchange of at least one ABB-Welcome audio outdoor
station with an ABB-Welcome video outdoor station and
at least one ABB-Welcome audio indoor station with an
ABB-WelcomeTouch. The system controller need not be
replaced.
For branch connections in the system, video distributors
must be installed for the conversion. These are not required
in the internal bus if it is looped from device to device.
The setting of the terminal resistors of the system must be
checked after the conversion (See 20, Chapter 02).

Installation instructions for modernization

The modernization of a building is an ideal opportunity for
replacing an existing intercom with a modern ABB-Welcome
system within the design of the other electrical installations.
Here, as a rule independent of the type of wiring of the old
system (pure bell system, intercom in "1+n technology or
comparable systems, 2-wire bus technique) existing lines can
be used. In case of existing cable material a possible reduction
of the transmission range is to be checked.
It is recommended not to install the bus lines and power
supply for the electric door opener in the same cable, since
this may impair the quality of the picture in video systems.
We additionally recommend the use of high-impedance door
openers.
Conversion of old bell systems in one-family houses to
ABB-Welcome
Available:
At the door: one bell
Indoors: one gong
In the sub-distribution: one transformer for the gong and
the name plate
The conversion of the bell system in a one-family house to an
ABB-Welcome system is easy if a cable is available from the
front door to the distribution and a cable from the distribution
into the building, e.g. in the hallway. This layout is used by the
system controller, outdoor station and indoor station.
This enables buildings with only a bell system to be retrofitted
with audio or video systems.
The conversion of old bell and intercom systems to ABBWelcome ("1+n" technique, with coaxial cable for video if
necessary) The multifamily house has available:
At the door: bells (with "1+n" wiring) + loudspeakers /
microphones
Indoors: in each apartment, one indoor station with gong
and a button for opening the front door
In the sub-distribution: one bell transformer for the buzzer/
electronic door opener, one transformer for the house
telephones
For systems with "1+n" wiring as rising mains installation with
branch connections to the indoor stations only two wires are
required from the multi-wire cable. The indoor stations of the
ABB-Welcome system are also connected to the rising mains
via the branch line. For a video system one indoor FM video
distributor should be installed in the branch box.
The layout of a system in "1+n" wiring as star-shaped
installation which comes from the main distribution, for
example can easily be used in an ABB-Welcome system.
Here all cables to the indoor stations are connected to
the system controller. For a video system, indoor MDRC
video distributors must additionally be installed. For an
existing "1+n" system without system controller a two-wire
cable must be laid from the outdoor station to the system
controller. Usually an existing cable can be used here.

article number: 83121/1-664-500
04 ABB-Welcome audio outdoor station, 1gang,
Installation of the outdoor stations Fig. 22 Fig. 23

For all outdoor stations an installation wall box of matching
colour is available for flush-mounting or surface-mounting.
Surface-mounting is suitable for all types of walls, whether
rendered, clinker or cavity wall. They are recommended
particularly for walls with a thermal sandwich system. Here
the use of suitable mounting material should be ensured.
Also flush-mounting is possible on the same wall types,
because the installation socket has a full perimeter frame.
For flush-mounting in a cavity wall (thickness between 2 and
25mm) a cavity wall mounting set consisting of mounting
anchors is available.
To make plastering easy after a cavity has been cut into of
the wall for flush-mounted installation a mounting accessory
is available. This is inserted in the cavity and removed again
after plastering is completed. The flush-mounting box can
then be installed.
For dismantling the end strip, a distance of 1 cm should be
kept to the right of the outdoor station.
To be able to change the name plates while the outdoor
station is mounted, a distance of 10 cm should remain free
below the outdoor station. If this is not possible the outdoor
station must be removed from the installation socket to
change the name plates.
Fig. 22
Note: The camera of the ABB-Welcome video outdoor station

should not face powerful light sources, such as street lights.
This should be taken into consideration when choosing the
correct position for mounting. Lamps in the entrance area
should uniformly illuminate the face of the visitor. The
recommended installation height is 1.50 m. This optimally
captures persons of average body size. Bright or backgrounds
with a deep contrast should be avoided. It could reduce the
quality of the picture.
Installation of indoor stations
The ABB-Welcome audio indoor station with handset and
the ABB-WelcomeTouch are easy to install as a surfacemounted device with the aid of the enclosed mounting frame.
The devices can also be mounted on a commercially available
58 flush-mounted wall box.
The ABB-Welcome audio indoor station with display can be
installed in the design of various switch programs and so
adapts to the other light switches and socket outlets in an
apartment. Two 58 flush-mounted wall boxes are required for
the installation.
Additional information is contained in the operating manuals.
The associated QR codes are listed starting from page 46.

Installation instructions for system devices

Recommendation: All MDRC units should be mounted in
the central distribution of the building. This can be altered
depending on the size of the building and topology selected.
For example, when installing an auxiliary power supply in the
sub-distribution of the apartment, for connecting the devices.
The ABB-Welcome indoor FM video distributor is suitable for
mounting in rising mains below a floor call button in a deep
flush-mounted wall box.
Wiring the devices
Internal bus
The internal bus is wired continuously via terminal pairs a1/
b 1 available on the devices. To connect the two internal bus
lines, the system controller has two terminal pairs a1/b1. They
are labelled OUT 1 and OUT 2. Starting from these terminal
pairs the internal bus lines are fed to the indoor stations,
including IP gateway, the indoor video distributors and the
auxiliary power supplies and there also connected to a
terminal pair a1/b1.
For a device with only one terminal pair a 1/b1 this is used for
looping the bus line. Also terminal pairs a 1/b1 labelled IN are
used for looping the bus line on indoor video distributors and
the auxiliary power supply.* The stub line of the bus line is
connected to the terminal pairs a1/b1 labelled OUT 1 to 4.
External bus
The external bus is wired continuously via the terminal pairs
a2/b2 available on the devices. The system controller has a
terminal pair a2/b2 labelled IN to connect the external bus line.
To these the external bus lines to the outdoor stations, the
outdoor video distributors and the switch actuators are connected.
The terminal pairs a2/b2 labelled IN 1 and IN 2 are used on
the outdoor video distributors for connecting the bus lines
coming from the outdoor stations. The terminal pair a2/b2
labelled OUT is used for connecting the bus line going to the
system controller. Only one terminal pair a2/b2 is available on
the door/light switch actuator. It is used for looping the bus line.
Additional terminal pairs
All additional terminal pairs for connecting an electronic
door opener or floor call button are explained in the operating
manuals of the respective devices. Additional connecting
diagrams are available as example on pages 52 to 53.

Basic settings
Well-prepared for everything. Several settings need to be made

prior to the installation of an ABB-Welcome system. These can
be carried out by the electrical installer already at the factory,
so that the devices can be directly installed at the customer's
premises.
The following settings are to be carried out.

to an apartment
Factory assignment of the doorbell push-buttons Fig. 25
The doorbell push-buttons of an outdoor station are assigned
to the apartments consecutively from top to bottom and left
to right with the addresses 01, 02, etc.
This assignment applies equally to several outdoor stations
in a system. This means that in Figure 26 in each outdoor
station push-button A is assigned to apartment 01, etc.
This factory setting is fixed via two potentiometers on the
rear of the outdoor station. "K10" must be set on "0" and
"K1" on "1".
Change in the assignment of the doorbell push-buttons

("Offset") Fig. 27
The preset addresses of the doorbell push-buttons can be
changed. This means that the top doorbell push-button on
the left side is assigned to a different apartment. The other
doorbell push-buttons are consecutively assigned to the
other apartments.
Figure 27 shows the three outdoor stations from the example
on page 16. The outdoor station at the gate entrance and the
outdoor station at the left building show the factory assignment
of the doorbell push-buttons. At the outdoor station of the
building on the right an offset of 03 is set.
The value of the "Offset" is fixed at the rear of the outdoor
station. Here "K10" indicates the tens digit (here "0") and
"K1" the single digit (here "3"). The factory setting of the
offset is on "01".

Setting the address of the indoor station

At the indoor stations the apartment is assigned via the setting
of the address. Up to 99 apartments can be addressed within
an ABB-Welcome system. Up to four indoor stations with equal
rights can be located in each with the same address. The four
indoor stations are called when the assigned doorbell pushbutton is pressed.
Setting of the "standard outdoor station"

For several outdoor stations in an ABB-Welcome system the
"standard outdoor station" must be set on the indoor stations.
The address of an indoor station (e.g. "15") is set with the

aid of the rotary knobs "X10" and "X1" at the indoor stations,
where "X10" specifies the tens digit (here "1") and "X1" the
single digit (here "5"). The rotary knobs are located at the rear
or outside of the indoor stations.
Setting of the main indoor station

In each apartment the switch "M/S" must be activated on
one indoor station. This means "M=ON". For additional
indoor stations in the apartment the switch here must be on
"M=OFF". The switch is located on the back or outside of the
indoor stations.
Here the rotary knob STATION is set on the address of the

standard outdoor station between 1 and 4. The rotary knob
is located at the rear or outside of the indoor stations.

As described in Chapter 02, the terminal resistor in ABBWelcome audio only systems is always switched to "OFF".
For video systems, the terminal resistors are to be switched
to "ON" for the last devices of a branch and to "OFF" for all
others.
The terminal resistors are set via the switch "R/C" on all
indoor stations as well as video indoor distributors and
auxiliary power supplies.
Setting of the door opener or light switch
The setting is only made on the door/light switch actuator. It
shows the respective function of the device in the ABB-Welcome system. The sliding switch on the device is used
for setting.
This setting on the system controller and the door/light
switch actuator determines the operating period of the door
buzzer (from one to ten seconds). The light-on period can be
set between one second and five minutes.
A separate potentiometer for both is located on the system
controller. In case of the switch actuator the same potentiometer
is used for one of the two control values depending on the
position of the sliding switch.
05
Control and system behaviour
Always intuitively correct. ABB-Welcome systems make this

possible from the very first contact. Because the eyes, hands
and ears quickly orient themselves. In this way the intelligent
system fulfils individual wishes and requirements.
Operating the outdoor and indoor stations

The ABB-Welcome outdoor and indoor stations are operated
intuitively. Familiar style elements and easy-to-understand
icons are used. For the ABB-WelcomeTouch and the ABBWelcome audio indoor station with display the intelligent
menu structure is used.
The functions of all devices are described in the respective
operating manuals.
System behaviour
The digital technology of an ABB-Welcome system offers the
user a large variety of options.
A connection can be established by ringing the bell on the
outdoor station. Or it can be established at the indoor station
by switching on the microphone and/or the camera of the
outdoor station. A connection lasts at the most two minutes
after which it is automatically terminated.
To guarantee that no call of a visitor is missed at an outdoor

station, the two following simple rules apply:
Connections that are established at the outdoor station
always have a higher priority than existing connections. This
means that an existing connection is interrupted as soon as
the bell is rung at the outdoor station.
A resident cannot establish a connection to an outdoor
station if one already exists. An occupied ABB-Welcome
system is displayed on the indoor stations.
The floor call buttons can be rung irrespective of an existing
connection between outdoor and indoor station. Depending
on the work load of the ABB-Welcome system, settings can
be carried out on several indoor stations. If the system is
occupied, this is indicated at the indoor station.
