EntraGuard Bronze

This guide is designed to assist residents in programming and using the EntraGuard Bronze
Residential Telephone Entry System. For more detailed information or questions contact your
installer.

1.0 Standard Operation

There are six standard operating modes used by the EntraGuard Bronze telephone entry system.

• Visitor Call – when an arriving visitor requests entry.

• Call Waiting – if you are already on the telephone when a visitor entry request is made.

• Call Forwarding – designating a telephone number to which an entry request is routed when you
know you will not be home.

• Remote Connection – allows you to connect to the EntraGuard Bronze unit from the residence
telephone and program the unit.

• Gate Operation from the EntraGuard Bronze Unit – allows you to directly operate a gate from
the EntraGuard Bronze.

• Gate Operation from the Residence Telephone – allows you to directly operate a gate from the
residence telephone.

1.1 Visitor Call

The Visitor Call command allows an arriving visitor to request entry by calling the residence
telephone through the EntraGuard Bronze unit.

1. An arriving visitor notifies the residence by pressing the “Call” key.

2. The residence telephone rings with the programmed ring pattern and number of rings.

3. When the residence telephone is answered, it connects to the EntraGuard Bronze unit and
conversation can begin.

4. The connection is automatically disconnected after a programmed amount of time (the default
time is 1 minute). The unit sounds a brief tone to warn both parties with a 3 second warning of
the impending disconnection.

5. The connection time can be extended on the residence telephone by pressing the key.

6. Communication can be terminated immediately and entry denied at any time by pressing the

key.

7. Communication can be terminated immediately and entry granted (by opening the gate) by
entering the desired gate activation code on the residence telephone keypad. When the code is
entered, communication with the unit is terminated and the desired gate relay is activated for the
programmed amount of time.

1.2 Call Waiting

If a visitor attempts to notify the residence and the residence telephone is busy, the EntraGuard
Bronze generates a call waiting signal consisting of two, short, high-pitched beeps at three-second
intervals.

1. To put the original call on hold and respond to the EntraGuard Bronze unit, the residence

telephone user presses the key.

2. Once the connection to the EntraGuard Bronze is ended, the residence telephone automatically
reconnects to the call on hold.

1.3 Call Forwarding

If the Call Forwarding feature is enabled, the EntraGuard Bronze dials a programmed remote
telephone number instead of the residence telephone. If the remote number is busy, the EntraGuard
Bronze unit disconnects immediately.

Residence GuideTelephone Entry

1.4 Remote Connection

Remote Connection allows you to program the EntraGuard Bronze unit from the residence
telephone.

1. The residence telephone can connect to the EntraGuard Bronze at any time by pressing the
key three times with a brief delay between key presses.

2. Once connected, you must enter programming mode (see Section 2.1 on page 6) and then you
can begin programming the EntraGuard Bronze unit.

2.0 Programming

All operating parameters are programmable from either the EntraGuard Bronze’s front panel
keypad or from any telephone in the residence connected to the same phone line as the EntraGuard
Bronze unit. There are 19 commands available.

When entering programming commands, the unit responds to correct entries with a short, high­pitched tone to indicate the command was accepted. The unit responds to incorrect/invalid entries
with a short, high-pitched tone followed by a low-pitched tone to indicate the command was
rejected.

2.1 Entering and Exiting Programming Mode

The EntraGuard Bronze unit must be in programming mode to set any of the unit’s operating
parameters.

2.1.1 Entering Programming Mode from the Bronze Unit:

recommends that you perform this command at any time you feel the Programming Code has been
discovered by someone who should not have it.

This code number must be six-digits long. For security reasons, certain consecutive strings of
numbers are not accepted; for example, “123456” is not accepted. Perform the following to set the
programming mode entry code.

1. Press .

2. Enter the desired six-digit programming mode entry code – .

3. Press to lock in the new programming mode entry code. The unit emits a short, high­pitched tone to indicate the new code has been accepted. The unit emits a short, high-pitched
