Telephone Entry Systems are designed for easy operation and accommodate
1–750 suites. The no-phone-line system has many sophisticated features built in, such as::
• No monthly rental bill for telephone line.
• Call waiting with distinctive double tone.
• Distinctive double ring differentiates visitor calls from incoming calls.
• 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.
• Door open tone for both tenant and visitor.
• Warning tone to alert tenant that call will end in 10 seconds.
• Automatic call termination after 8 seconds of dial tone detection.
• Variable tenant code length: 1, 2, 3 or 4 digits.
• Night service feature transfers calls to the guard or manager telephone.
• One keyless entry code per tenant, plus five for use by building management.
• Built-in multiple entrance capability (maximum 20).
• Tenant codes can be actual suite numbers or coded for security purposes.
• Dial up to five off-premises telephones (when connected to a telephone line).
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
Entry Systems. Up to 20 entry systems can be interconnected without additional switching
equipment. 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.)
Night Service
This feature redirects all entry system calls to a pre-designated telephone line (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". (The pre-
designated telephone line must be connected to relay #0000 located on relay board #1.)
