4. TELEPHONES
From a single press of a door panel button the telephone will ring for a preset time (default 5 cycles) or until the
handset is lifted. Speech is private between the door panel and the dwelling called and cannot be overheard by other
users from their handsets.
The telephone has a single pushbutton to release the door lock or select privacy mode. The LED indicator will
illuminate red for privacy mode or green if the door is open.
4.01 PRIVACY MODE
With the handset on‐hook and no call in progress the pushbutton is used to select privacy mode. Privacy can operate
as a simple on/off action or with a timed auto‐reset from 1 to 99 minutes ‐ see section 7.10. The LED indicator will
illuminate red when privacy is on. If the button is pressed again when privacy is "on" the telephone will be reset to
normal operation.
4.02 LOCK RELEASE FUNCTION
When the telephone has been called and the handset is lifted the pushbutton is used to release the door lock. The
lock release duration is programmable from 1 to 99 seconds ‐ see section 7.09.
4.03 DOOR OPEN INDICATION
The LED indicator will illuminate green on all telephones when the entrance door is open (provided a N/C door
contact is connected across the door panel T/G & 0V terminals). Note: the LED will not go green during an active call.
4.04 TELEPHONE RING TONE
The telephone ring tone will repeat until the handset is lifted. The number of ring cycles is programmable from 1 to 10
– see section 7.13. If the telephone is not answered the call will automatically cancel after the preset number of
cycles.
4.05 TELEPHONE SPEECH TIME
When a telephone is called the speech time will commence once the handset is lifted, this is programmable from 1 to
99 seconds ‐ see section 7.08. The speech time will cancel when the handset is replaced on the hook. If a conversation
is held to within 10 seconds of the programmed speech time timeout pips will be sounded before the call
automatically cancels.
