Overview
An apartment complex entrance gets a modular panel with a push button and name holder for each resident. Pressing a button buzzes the matching apartment station, and the resident talks hands-free through a Mylar speaker before releasing the electric door lock.
The extruded aluminum panel and self-wiping push buttons suit an exposed building entrance, and name holders can be replaced one at a time. The limit is that it cannot work alone: stations, amplifier and other parts are all listed as separate purchases.
Who it's for
Property managers and installers working on a TekTone apartment intercom system who need a four unit entrance panel. A single family home or a non-TekTone system is a poor match.
Pros and cons
- Vandal-resistant panel and buttons
- Replaceable name holders
- Modular design allows add-ons
- Needs five parts sold separately
- Entry only alert type
- Listing photo shows twelve button version
Performance notes
A press on a button signals the apartment station, and speech passes through the hands-free loudspeaker in the panel. The wired connection and separate amplifier and transformer carry the audio and power, so system performance depends on the whole installed set.
