Telephone Entry/Access Control System
Models EL25 and EL2000SS
RESIDENTIAL AND COMMERCIAL TELEPHONE ENTRY SYSTEMS
WITH EXPANDED CAPACITY AND ENHANCED VERSATILITY
Optional modules let you expand the system to fi t your specifi c needs. The Wiegand output module lets you add card readers and/or remote
keypads. Our RF module provides convenient access through gates or doors with Passport™ transmitters. Plus, the system is now designed to
automatically detect the addition and location of each new plug-in module, making installation and programming faster and easier than ever before.
