GFA-DES

Audio Entrance Station with Digital Directory

DESCRIPTION:

The GFA-DES is an audio entrance station for the
GF Multi-Unit entry system. This unit is equipped
with an audio module for communication, a 10-key
pad for direct digital dialing, and a LCD display for a
greeting message, tenant names and numbers, and
system status.

The GFA-DES works on a common bus wiring
system, carrying the calling and communication
functions on a 2 conductor wire. The digital display

required from the power supply to the panel.

The entrance station is designed to be semi-flush
mount, and has an optional rain hood or hooded
surface mount box to be used as necessary.

Communication is hands-free at the entrance station
when a tenant answers the call, and the tenant will
use their handset when speaking with the visitor.
