    Hello,
    I replaced my old Fermax intercom with the new Cyfral Smart-5P. Everything works except the microphone. The person can't hear me.
    Do you have any idea what I'm doing wrong?

    Thanks for your advice.

    AI: Can you describe how you connected the wires from your old Fermax intercom to the new Cyfral Smart-5P? Did you follow a specific wiring diagram or color code?
    I followed the correspondence table provided by Cyfral.
    AI: Do you know what type of intercom system you have (for example, is it a 2-wire, 5-wire, or digital system)?
    I count 5 wires

    Try connecting as follows:

    Ring - 4 (red)
    SPK - 6 (violet)
    MIC - 2 (blue)
    Ground - 3 (I think it's green)
    SW1 - 1 (white)

    ZW1 and ZW2 jumpers pulled down and ZW3 put on.

    hello,
    I swapped the cables, it doesn't work, I wonder if the old installation was correct.

    If you still have an old uniphone, plug it in and check.

    You can also check with your neighbour whether he has the same colour wires connected.

    Maybe you just happened to come across a faulty unit? Sometimes this happens with new products.

    An electrician came by and the device was indeed defective! Thanks for your help, and sorry to have wasted your time.

Topic summary

A user replaced an old Fermax intercom with a Cyfral Smart-5P model. While the system functions overall, the microphone on the new Cyfral unit does not transmit audio, preventing the person on the other end from hearing the user. The user followed Cyfral's wiring correspondence table and confirmed the system uses five wires. A request was made for a photo of the old Fermax uniphone with visible wiring connections, which the user provided to assist in diagnosing the microphone issue.
