Basic System Operation
Panel Controls
Number and Letter Buttons
The numbers 0 to 9 are used to enter numbers. The letter button >A enters letters
beginning with A and each press advances through the alphabet, while the letter button <Z
does the reverse starting with Z. For example pressing >A three times will give C then
pressing <Z once will give B, or starting with Z; pressing 5 times will give V and then
pressing >A twice will give X.
The call button is used to call flats or acts as a bell button calling the reception phone.
The cancel button cancels the current entry leaving a blank display.
The reception (AKA Porter or Concierge) button calls a pre-defined phone dedicated to
that location.
The door or Trades button is used to gain direct access either directly or via a code.
Call sequence
When the resident‟s address is entered followed by the call button the addressed
apartment station will ring and its blue pickup / view lamp will flash, highlighting the
pickup and view symbols. The apartment station will continue to ring for up to 30
seconds or until the resident responds by touching the view symbol (see silent viewing
below) or the pickup symbol. After using the pickup symbol the resident can freely
converse with the visitor whose image is now displayed on the apartment station; at the
same time the green lock symbol will flash to highlight the lock function.
