The 2-48 unit apartment intercom is a versatile audio entrance station featuring a communication module, a 10-key pad for direct digital dialing, and a vacuum fluorescent display that showcases greeting messages, tenant names, numbers, and system status. With inside audio stations directly connected to the door station, there's no need for an external phone line, ensuring you avoid any additional phone company charges.
How it Works
When a visitor arrives, they simply press the call button for the desired residence. A low-volume call tone from the entrance station notifies the tenant, whose station rings in response. Tenants can answer the call effortlessly with a single press of the Talk button. Designed for convenience and style, the tenant station features a slim, streamlined, surface-mounted design that complements any interior..
Communication is hands-free at the entrance station when a tenant answers the call, and is either voice activated hands-free or push-to-talk at the tenant station when speaking with the visitor.
When a tenant receives a call, they can unlock the door by pressing the Door Release button, which activates an electric door strike (sold separately). The door release is exclusive to the entrance station currently in communication with the tenant station. Depending on your electric door release system, the unlocking function may remain active only while the button is pressed.
The Audio Tenant Stations are equipped with a Talk, Door Release, and
Service button, which could be used for applications like turning on a
light while speaking with a visitor at the entrance. This feature
requires the optional External Activation Relay seen in the Related
Products and Accessories.
Easy Installation
The system works on a common bus
wiring system, carrying the calling and communication functions on a 2
conductor wire. The digital display requires power, so a separate pair
of power wires is required from the power supply to the panel.
This system comes with a PC programming cable and software that enables
you to program resident apartment numbers and names into the display
module. The apartment number can be 1 to 6-digit characters (0-9 A-Z).
The resident name can contain up to 16 characters (0-9 A-Z . , - /
etc.). If it is not necessary to register an apartment number. If you
would rather enter only the resident names, a room number will
automatically be assigned to each resident name. The software operates
on Microsoft Windows PCs.
