1. Introduction

The INTERCOM HANDSET is a very versatile intercom system designed for a multitude of
applications ranging from a basic 1 to 1 kit to larger installations with up to five components
in the system. A component is either an entry panel or a handset as detailed below.
Expandability
The INTERCOM HANDSET can be configured using combinations of up to five components
as follows:
• Up to two entry panels
• Two groups of handsets with up to three handsets per group
• The system can operate without an entry panel connected
Each call button rings one or both of the groups of handsets, depending on the mode set.
Intercommunication is available between the two groups of handsets.

Wiring
The system uses a two wire bus to link all the components, making the wiring of the system
particularly easy.
Powering the system
The INTERCOM HANDSET operates off a DC supply and can therefore be powered from
either a 14V DC mains adaptor or directly from the battery supply of a 12V gate motor
system. The power source can be connected to any component in the system.
