Hi,
Not an electric wiring question per se but one for an electrician most likely.
I have an old Videx (model 22.0218?) intercom installed (consisting of an internal wall mounted phone with 4-wires, a buzzer located in the hall, plus an external speaker + microphone with 6-wires) which is not working correctly. The microphone-in works but the speaker-out doesnt. I suspect corrosion over time due to the natural elements of weather.
I have bought a new replacement intercom and the intention is to replace the external component only, which is 7.5V DC. It is an A58FQ from Maplins.
However, the wiring is different. The original intercom has 6 wires:
C1 white
squiggle blue (these two seem to be the buzzer)
-ve brown/black
+ve red
2 yellow
1 green
There are 4-wires at the internal handset, so I presume the two others are going to the buzzer.
However, the new intercom has only 3 wires:
A yellow
GND black
B+ red
Am I attempting a wild goose chase by attempting to connect the old with the new? If not, would anyone have a clue as to how I would attempt to connect it up? My only course of action at this moment is to try trial-and-error.
Any help/hints appreciated, Thanks,
Whirlwashman
ps: although I am not based in UK (I am in Ireland) our systems are very similar as to be negigible, I would imagine, especially this case.
