Telephone Entry Systems are designed for easy operation and accommodate
1–750 suites with 7-, 10- or 11-digit phone numbers. The system has many sophisticated
features built in, such as:
•
All programming is done via the system keypad.
•
EEPROM Memory retains programmed information during total power failure.
•
Two programmable relay outputs control door strikes, gates, cameras, etc.
•
System operates with both touchtone and rotary pulse phones.
•
Automatic call termination after 8 seconds of dial tone detection.
•
Microphone Mute prevents unauthorized entry using a tone generator.
•
Variable tenant code length: 1, 2, 3 or 4 digits.
•
One keyless entry code per tenant, plus five for use by building management.
•
Tenant codes can be actual suite numbers or coded for security purposes.
•
May be programmed with any combination of 7, 10 or 11 digit phone numbers.
Special Features
Postal Service Lock
Provision for the installation of a postal service lock is available on the rear of the system
enclosure’s control panel.
Door Timer Cut-Off (Tailgate Prevention)
This feature requires the installation of a “Normally Open” switch contact that closes
when the entry door has been opened. A magnetic contact, as used in security systems, is
acceptable for this application, provided that it is a “Normally Open” type. (Most security
door contacts are of the “Normally Closed” type.) When the electric door strike is released,
the door remains open for the period of time that has been programmed. When the door
timer cut-off feature is used, the door strike de-energizes as soon as the system senses
that the entry door has been opened. This causes the door to lock when it closes, regardless
of the programmed time. The door strike is therefore energized only as long as necessary,
to prevent unauthorized entry of individuals who follow behind the visitor (tailgating).
Fire Alarm (Emergency) Input
Connecting a “Normally Open” alarm contact from the building fire alarm system causes
the electric door strike to pulse on and off in the event of a fire (emergency) situation.
This effectively leaves the entry door unlocked for the duration of the emergency.
Multiple Entrances
Accommodating multiple entry doors is a built-in feature of the Tek-ENTRY
®
Telephone
Entry Systems. Up to 20 entry systems can be interconnected without additional switching
equipment, and all systems can be connected to one common telephone line. One additional
pair of wires, parallel connected to terminals “ME” and “G” of all entry systems, is
required. When one entry panel is in use, the other panels are temporarily disabled and
display a “SYSTEM IN USE” message. (
NOTE:
Each entry panel must be independently
powered and programmed, and requires a telephone extension jack at that location.)
Night Service
This feature redirects all entry system calls to a pre-designated telephone number (guard
phone). When this feature is enabled (by entering “*456”), the entry system displays the
“Night Service On” message. To return to normal operation, re-enter “*456”.
Wiegand Data Output
This feature connects the Tek-ENTRY
®
Telephone Entry System to a card access system
with a Wiegand 26-bit input. When a tenant approves a visitor, the tenant’s code is sent
to the card access system, causing the door to open.
