Tektone IR103E apartment intercom station, 3-wire apartment intercom suite station enables building owners to upgrade existing bell/buzzer system to an intercom
system using existing wiring. Two wires control Talk, Listen, and Door functions, and one wire connects to the entry panel call button for that unit.
Three-wire apartment intercom stations are not recommended for buildings with more than 30 units or when 4, 5, or 6 wires are not available.
High wire resistance due to cable length may interfere with system operation, and all three-wire intercom systems are more time-consuming to repair.
System Operation - The Tektone Intercom system allows for two-way conversation between an apartment and a building entrance. A visitor initiates a call to an apartment using a push button on the lobby panel. The tenant pushes the talk and listen buttons on the apartment station alternately to communicate with the visitor. The tenant may allow the visitor to enter the building by pushing the door button on the apartment station.
Wiring Requirements: Two common wires and one unique signal wire per apartment.
