Calls made from master

A. Music/Intercom Speaker Capacity

The number of rooms you can have intercom communications and play music in depends on the number of intercom speakers you can put on the system.

B. Door Speaker Capacity

All NuTone music/intercom and intercom systems can handle three doors except the IMA-516 which can handle up to two door speakers.

C. Number of Room Selector Switches

Room selector switches allow you to choose what is sent to each room speaker. The room switch can be set to one of four settings:

1. Radio Intercom

2. Intercom Only

3. Monitor

4. Off Why would you have a speaker switch set to anything other than the first - Radio Intercom? Well,

if you’re an early riser, you may want to set the bedrooms to Intercom Only. That way you can play music and not disturb your sleeping children or spouse. The Monitor setting allows you to monitor rooms and broadcast the sound from the monitored room through the rest of the intercom speakers inside and out. Off setting turns off all intercom, music, and chime sounds to the room.

The IM-4406 and IM-3303 systems have these four switch options. The IM-3204 has Radio Intercom, Off and Monitor. Monitor, intercom, and music control features for the IMA-516 and IM-5000 are located directly on the room speakers.

D. Music Muting during Intercom or Chime

During intercom, the music is muted allowing for clear voice communication. The music is also muted when the chime button is pushed.

E. Constant-On 24 hour Intercom

The intercom is always on. You can use the intercom function at a moment’s notice.

F. Monitors Room Speaker

On radio/intercom units, position room selector switch at the master to Monitor to instantly check on a room. On the IMA-516 and IM-5000, press the “TALK LOCK/MONITOR” button on the room speaker.

G. Selective Call

Selective intercom calling is available on the IM-

5000. To make a selective call, first enter the twodigit room number corresponding to the room you wish to call. After the second digit is pressed, a call tone is heard at both stations to indicate a call is being made and intercom audio from the called station is heard. To talk to the selected room, simply press the “TALK” button. To hear the reply, simply release the “TALK” button.

H. Room to Rooms (All Call) Intercom

Press a button in any room to speak to the other rooms. Most NuTone intercom systems are “all room” intercom systems. This means that when you press the talk button you speak to all rooms that have intercom speakers. Our IM-5000 is both an “all call” and “selective call” system. With this system, you can specifically call one room from another. A selective call intercom system is well suited to business installations like dentist or doctor’s offices or other small businesses. One advantage to an “all room” system is that often when calling an individual, particularly children, they may have moved from one room to another. With a NuTone “all call” intercom you’ll immediately be able to communicate with the individual.

Music Intercom Features Explained

I. Room to Doors Intercom

Press the door talk button on a room speaker to speak with a visitor at the door. Release to hear the reply.

J. Number of wires in Intercom Speaker Cable

If you wish to replace an existing Music/Intercom to take advantage of updated styling and new features, you need to be aware of the cable used to wire the system you’re replacing. If you can, you’ll want to use the cable already in the wall. In most cases, a current NuTone 3-wire system can replace an older 3-wire system, 4-wire replace 4wire, etc. You may also be able to replace a different brand intercom with a NuTone system. Our Technical Support Group would be pleased to help you determine your options, please phone us at 888-336-6151, or fax us at 513-527-5122. Please have the brand, model number, number of speakers, number of wires and any other details you may have on your system available when you call.

K. “Hands Free” Answering

Ideal for the couch potato in all of us. The person being called doesn’t have to rise from the chair to answer. In systems without the “Hands Free” circuitry, the person being called needs to go to the intercom speaker and press a button to respond. On IM-5000 and IM-4406, all calls from master or any speaker are “Hands Free”. On IM-3303, only calls from the master are “Hands Free”.

L. Intercom Only Switch Settings

If you’re an early riser, you may want to set the bedrooms to Intercom only. That way you can play music and not disturb your sleeping children or spouse.

M. One Button Door Answering

To answer the door, you press one button to speak to the visitor, release the button to listen to their response. All NuTone systems offer one button door answering. In some systems you press one

button to speak, another button to listen. One button door answering is more convenient because you are less likely to miss part of your visitor’s response. It is not dependent on how quickly you press the second button to listen.

N. AM/FM Radio O. CD Player

Many of our intercoms have built-in AM/FM radios so you can enjoy your favorite radio station throughout your home. Model IM-4406 has a built-in CD Player.

P. Electronic Tuning

Allows for easy, accurate tuning of your favorite radio station.

Q. Remote Radio On/Off, Memory Control

Radio operation can be controlled from any intercom speaker. Press the “RADIO CONTROL/END CALL” button at any intercom speaker for 2 seconds to turn the radio ON. To turn the radio OFF, again, press the “RADIO CONTROL/END CALL” button for 2 seconds. To sequence through each programmed radio memory channel, momentarily press the “RADIO CONTROL/END CALL” button.

R. Station “Recall” Memory

Program your favorite stations into memory for easy recall later.

S. Aux Audio Input(s)

The master has audio input(s) allowing you to add a NuTone Cassette player, to patch in the audio from your multi-disc CD player or home theater for broadcast throughout your home.

Music Intercom Features Explained

T. Bass/Treble Controls

Tone controls allow you to fine tune the music output. NuTone music intercom systems have separate bass and treble controls.

Also includes a two and one note chime sound for the side and rear doors. Module mounts and plugs into master unit.

V2. Westminster Chime Option

The IA-28 chime module offers a Westminster chime sound for the front door, and a two/one note chime for the side and rear doors. Module mounts and plugs into master unit.

V3. External Chime Option

Most NuTone electronic chime models can be connected to the master unit to allow chime sound to be heard over the room speakers.

The addition of a chime module or NuTone electronic chime to your NuTone intercom system ensures you’ll never miss a guest again by sounding the chime through all intercom speakers that are turned on.

Some speaker models are available in biscuit, black or brown. Door speakers are available in antique brass, bright brass, white or brown.

X. Digital Clock

The IM-3303 and IM-4406 music intercoms feature a built-in digital clock.

Y. Digital Clock can turn Radio on and off

The Music Intercom system can be used as a whole house alarm clock. Set the clock to turn music on in the morning and have it gently wake your children. The digital clock can also be used as a sleep timer to turn music off at a certain time. This feature also can be used as a deterrent to intruders. The timer can be set to turn music on while you are away - making a thief think you are there, discouraging them from entering your home.

Z. Time and Radio Backup

A built-in electrical backup system maintains your time and radio memory channels up to 30 hours during a power outage.

AA. Lighted Function Display

The lighted digital display is easy to read day or night.

BB. Self Diagnostic Troubleshooting Circuitry

For proper performance and operation of an Intercom, it is important that all wires are securely attached to the proper terminal. Otherwise, certain features of the intercom may not work, there could be humming or no sound at all. NuTone’s self diagnostic circuitry allows the installer to easily check the installation and if there is a misconnected wire, identify which room is affecting the system. This helps ensure that when the installer leaves, your system is operating as it was designed to.

CC. Built-in Surge Protection

Mov’s and diode clamping circuitry help minimize the potential for damage to your NuTone music intercom system from line surges and electrical storms.

DD. Privacy Switch on Intercom Speakers

Switch on speaker can be used to turn off the ability to monitor that room. Ideal for master bedrooms and baths.

EE. End Call Button

Allows intercom call to be manually ended.

Surface Mount Housings

Surface mount housings are available for most NuTone room speakers as well as door speakers. They make it a little easier installation as you do not have to cut an opening to recess mount the speaker. They are especially handy when you want to put a door speaker on a brick surface or if you want to have a speaker on a fire rated wall (typically this is the wall between an attached garage and the living space).

Chime

Never miss a guest again. Chime rings through every intercom speaker throughout your home. The NuTone IA-29 chime module offers the ability to easily select from ten different tunes for the front door and change them as your mood desires. Melody choices include: Westminster 8-notes, Westminster 4-notes, Anniversary Waltz, Beethoven’s Fifth, Dixie, Greensleeves, Happy Birthday, Jingle Bells, Joy to the World, Mazel Tov, Oh Tannenbaum and the Star Spangled Banner.
