Introduction
Welcome to ComPoint
™
Thank you for choosing a Russound
ComPoint system for your home or business. While you may already be familiar
with paging and intercom systems, each
system works differently. We’ve designed
ComPoint for ease of operation and with
a unique set of capabilities to meet your
communication needs. You’ll be pleased
with the way the system simplifies your life,
and we’re confident you’ll enjoy using
ComPoint every day.
ComPoint integrates the following features:
System-wide paging
Perhaps you want to call the family to dinner, move your party guests to the living
room, or summon everyone in the office to
an important meeting. ComPoint’s paging
feature allows you to do all this with ease.
You can let everybody know about an
important event like a birthday or anniversary, or you can broadcast a message for
someone to pick up the phone or come see
you. Whatever announcement you want to
make throughout your home or business,
paging allows you to get the word out.
What’s more, if you’re paging an individual, that person can reply to your page
from the nearest keypad.
Point-to-point intercom
One of ComPoint’s most useful functions is
the intercom feature. You need to talk with
someone in another room out of earshot,
and you can’t leave the room you’re in. The
solution? The intercom feature lets you contact the person directly, saving you steps
and time.
Whenever you want to reach a particular
person without disturbing the whole house
or office, the intercom feature connects you
to the room the person is in. You can think
of an intercom session as a private conversation while paging is a public announcement. Also, intercom enables two-way
conversations, whereas paging is intended
for one-way communication.
Door station call and reply
With ComPoint at your service, you don’t
have to run to the door every time the
doorbell rings. If you can’t get to the door
right away, the door station call function
gives you the convenience of answering the
door from any room.
At any keypad you can have a two-way
conversation with the caller to find out who
it is and the purpose of their visit—before
you even approach the door.
Doorbell chimes
With ComPoint, you can have separate
doorbell chimes for two doors. You have a
choice of seven different chime tones that
your installer can assign. Or you can use a
separate doorbell system if you prefer.

USER SECTION
Introduction
Door strike release
Did someone in the family forget their keys?
Did a friend drop by? ComPoint offers an
optional module that works with a door
strike release to let you admit your visitor
from any keypad without going to the door
in person. Imagine the convenience of not
having to leave the baby or interrupt an
important task to go and open the door for
your visitor.
Listen to another room
Need to keep an ear open for someone?
Wondering what the kids are doing? With
ComPoint you’re within earshot of any
other room. Listen mode keeps you in touch
with what’s going on in any room with a
keypad.
Do not disturb
When you’ve tucked your kids into bed or
you need peace and quiet in the study to
concentrate, you can switch the room keypad to Do Not Disturb. This prevents all
communication events from being heard in
that room.
Hands free
One of the nicest features in ComPoint is
the ability to reply to intercom calls without
having to touch the keypad. And when the
delivery person rings your doorbell, they
can answer your reply without having to
press the Call key again.
Integration with your music system
For even greater convenience, your
ComPoint system can share the speakers in
your multiroom audio system. When active,
ComPoint switches the speakers over to the
keypad amplifiers in the affected rooms,
momentarily interrupting the audio program. When the activity ends, the speakers
resume playing your audio program.
As an alternative, ComPoint can stand
alone by using the optional ISSP ComPoint
Speakers next to the keypads.
About this manual
This section of the manual is for you, the
user. It explains what you need to know to
use and enjoy your ComPoint system.
Reading these first several pages will help
you get the most out of your system. As you
learn, share your discoveries with others in
your family or office so they too can enjoy
using ComPoint.
The Installer section that follows provides
more technical information and gets into
the nitty gritty of how the system works. It’s
intended for your installer, but you’re welcome to read it, too.
We recommend keeping this manual in a
safe, accessible place so you can refer to it
when you need to.

Using your ComPoint system
ComPoint is easy and fun to use. You’ll find
these instructions simple to follow. Take a
little time to get familiar with them so you
can start enjoying your system right away.
Things you’ll need to know
With ComPoint, we refer to areas with keypads as
zones
. A zone may be a single
room or an area with more than one room,
such as a kitchen and dining area.
Every communication has a sender and a
receiver. With ComPoint, we call any zone
that starts a communication the
sending
zone
. The zone or zones to which the com-
munication is sent are
receiving zones
,
even though they may reply to the initial
communication. For an intercom session,
the receiving zone is also the
target zone
.
Certain communications take priority over
others. A door station call interrupts any
other communication in progress. Paging is
allowed only when there is no door station
call or intercom session already under way.
An intercom session is allowed only when
there is no door station call or page in
progress. Paging and intercom interrupt
Listen mode.
Your ComPoint system is configured with
either ISK1 Basic or ISK2 Advanced keypads. The way you use your system and the
way it gives you information depends on
which keypads you have.
With either keypad, pressing the Talk key
sounds a ping tone in the receiving zones
to announce your message. Releasing the
Talk key sounds a double ping.
If the system is already in use when you try
to send a page or start an intercom session, the Talk key blinks red for 7 seconds
to let you know the system is busy. Also, the
Advanced Keypad indicates Busy on its
LCD panel.
Paging
Paging lets you send
an announcement
throughout your
home or business
from any keypad.
To send a page, just
press and hold the
Talk key, then speak.
Release the key
when you’re done.
Your page will be heard in all zones except
those that are in Do Not Disturb mode. For
privacy and to avoid disturbing your neighbors, your page will not be heard at either
door station.
If a zone key is lit red on the Basic Keypad,
press the key to deselect that zone before
you press the Talk key to send a page.

USER SECTION
Operation
If a zone label appears on the Advanced
Keypad, use the Next or Previous key to
select Page before you press the Talk key.
All keypads indicate which zone is sending
a page, so you’ll know where it’s coming
from. The zone indication remains for 30
seconds after the Talk key is released to
simplify replying to the page.
The keypads in the receiving zones also
sound a double ping when the Talk key is
released. This lets you know the person
sending the page is done speaking and
you can reply to the page. Within 30 seconds, simply press and hold the Talk key
and speak. Your reply will be heard only in
the zone that sent the page.
If you wish to reply to the page after the
30-second limit, you can use the intercom
function described below or a return page
to send your reply.
Intercom
Unlike a system-wide page, an intercom
session occurs only between two zones.
To send an intercom, select a target zone
on a keypad. Press and hold the Talk key
and speak. Release the Talk key when
you’re done speaking.
Basic Keypad.
Press and release a zone
key to select the target zone. The key lights

If the selected zone is in Do Not Disturb
mode, the display alternately shows the
zone label and DND at 1-second intervals
and the DND key blinks rapidly for 7
seconds.
Receiving an intercom.
When the Talk key
is pressed on the sending keypad, the
receiving keypad indicates which zone is
sending the intercom. Also, both the sending and receiving keypads sound a single
ping to let you know you can reply hands
free within 7 seconds. After the 7 seconds,
the keypads sound a double ping to signal
the end of the hands-free reply period.
After the double ping, you can reply within
30 seconds by pressing and holding the
Talk key while you speak. After 30 seconds
you can no longer reply, but you can start
another intercom session to the zone that
sent the original message.
Door station call
A visitor can ring the doorbell and start a
door station call by simply pressing and
releasing the Call key.
When the Call key is pressed, all keypads
indicate the calling door station for 15 seconds. The D1 or D2 key on the Basic
Keypad blinks red and the display on the
Advanced Keypad shows Door1, Door2, or
an installer-assigned door label.
The keypads also sound a doorbell chime,
as long as they aren’t in Do Not Disturb
mode and a chime option is selected on the
hub. Additionally, the door station can ring
a traditional doorbell system as well.

USER SECTION
Operation
A door station call takes precedence over
paging and intercom sessions and thus
interrupts them if they’re in progress when
the Call key is pressed.
To reply to a door station call, press and
hold the Talk key on a keypad within 15
seconds and speak. Release the Talk key
when you’re done speaking. When you
release the Talk key, the door station sounds
a single ping to let the caller know they can
answer your reply.
Note: You must use the Talk key to reply
to a door station call. For your privacy,
ComPoint doesn’t allow a hands-free reply
to a door station call.
After you reply to a door station call, the
caller has 7 seconds to answer your reply
hands free. After 7 seconds, the door
station pings twice to indicate the time is
up.
If more than 15 seconds have passed since
the door call, you can reselect the door station and press the Talk key to start a new
session. This does not ring the doorbell.
Door strike release
If your ComPoint system includes optional
ISDR1 Door Strike Release Modules, you
can activate them from a keypad to unlock
the doors. The ISDR1 itself does not unlock
the door; rather, it provides a switch to control a separate door strike release unit to
unlock the door.

You can use your ComPoint system to continuously listen to any single zone from one
or more other zones. To do this, first turn
on a keypad microphone in the zone you
want to listen to, then select that zone on
one or more other keypads.
Other communication events have priority
over Listen mode but only temporarily
interrupt it.
To turn on a zone microphone, select that
zone on its own keypad. The Talk key lights
up red to indicate the keypad’s microphone
is active. On a Basic keypad, the zone key
blinks and on an Advanced Keypad, the
zone label changes to MicOn after 2 seconds. Note: Only one zone microphone
can be on at once.

INSTALLER SECTION
Product Summary
About this section
This section of the manual provides technical
information for installing and programming the
ComPoint system. It also provides detailed
descriptions of the system functions.
Product summary
The ComPoint system uses one or more central
hubs, each of which supports up to 6 keypads.
Each keypad is addressable by its own unique
ID number assigned by the hub.
ComPoint connects with CAT-5 cable, which
conveys power, ground, audio, and data
between the components. The cable length limit
for any zone or door station is 250 feet (76 m).
The system can include one or two door stations connected to hub #1. Each door station
has its own unique ID number, permanently
assigned in the system firmware.
Each door station may also have a door strike
release module wired in line between the hub
and the station.
Simple system programming is required to
assign the hub ID numbers, doorbell chimes,
and when ISK2 Advanced Keypads are used,
zone and door labels.

ISH1 Hub
As the central controller for the ComPoint system, the ISH1 hub performs all communications
routing. It addresses each keypad by sending a
message on the status wire in the CAT-5 cable
to give the keypad its own ID number according
to the port it’s connected to.
The hub has 6 zone keypad ports. Up to 6 ISH1
hubs can be linked together for a maximum of
36 zones. With multiple hubs, each hub must be
assigned a unique ID number during installation.
The hub also has ports for 2 door stations. In a
system with multiple linked hubs, only the hub
with ID number 1 supports the door stations.
A separate doorbell chime tone can be selected
on hub 1 for each door. These chime selections
take effect for the entire system and play
through all the zone keypads.
The hub’s firmware contains a list of zone labels
for display on the ISK2 Advanced Keypads. The
labels are assigned to zones by the installer and
stored in nonvolatile memory within the hub.
The ISH1 hub uses an external power supply to
conserve chassis space. It also has a port for
updating the system firmware from a computer.
System keypads
ComPoint keypads are designed to be simple,
intuitive interfaces for the user. Each model has
a Talk key, volume keys, and a DND key for setting the zone in Do Not Disturb mode. Both
models have installer-selectable amber or green
backlighting that turns on when the system is
used and turns off after the system is inactive
for 60 seconds. A built-in microphone with automatic gain control picks up the user’s voice.
The keypads require external speakers, which
are driven by the keypad amplifiers for communications. By using built-in speaker relays, the
keypads can share the speakers used in a multiroom audio system. When ComPoint activates,
the relays switch the speakers from the audio
system to the keypad amplifiers in the affected
zones, momentarily interrupting the audio program. When the activity ceases, the speakers
are switched back to the audio system.
In the absence of a multiroom audio system, or
in zones that are not shared with an audio system, the ISSP ComPoint speaker can be used
or the keypads can be wired directly to in-wall,
in-ceiling, or surface-mounted speakers.
The keypad amplifier is monaural, but the relay
passes stereo signals from the audio system to
the speakers.
The keypad volume keys adjust the listening
level for communications by controlling the keypad’s amplifier output. They have no effect on
the room volume for a connected audio system.
The volume keys signal the hub to send a ping
tone as an audible cue for the volume level
when there is no communication taking place.
Once the volume adjustment reaches either end
of the range, the ping tone no longer sounds.
ISK1 Basic Keypad
The ISK1 Basic Keypad is designed for use in a
system with no more than six zones. Pressing a
zone key selects a target zone for an intercom
session.
Certain keys change to red to indicate zone or
door station selection, incoming page or intercom, door station call, or system busy. When
another zone originates a page or intercom session, that zone is indicated by a red-backlit zone
key on the ISK1.
ISK2 Advanced Keypad
The ISK2 Advanced Keypad has enhanced features to provide more user feedback and support a larger system than the ISK1. It uses a 5character LCD panel to show zone and door
station labels and other information.
INSTALLER SECTION
Product Summary
18
INSTALLER SECTION
Product Summary/Installation
One of the benefits of the Advanced Keypad is
the ability to support systems as large as 36
zones, since the ISK2 is able to select any of
the zones by label. The zone and door station
labels are dynamically served from the hub and
appear in alphabetical order on the keypad display. A Page label is included in the list as the
default selection when the system is inactive
and the Talk key is pressed.
On the ISK2, the target zone for an intercom
session is selected by scrolling through the
zone list. Pressing and holding the Previous or
Next key scrolls through the list with a half-second delay between zone labels.
A bar graph on the display indicates the zone
volume level visually in conjunction with the audible ping tones. A small pushbutton on the front
edge of the keypad is used to enter a setup
mode to assign labels to the zones.
ISK3 Door Station
Unlike the Basic and Advanced Keypads, the
ISK3 Door Station has only one key and contains an internal speaker. Amplification for the
speaker is built in as with the keypads but there
is no speaker interrupt relay. A potentiometer
allows adjustment of the speaker volume level.
The ISK3 also provides contacts for closing a
standard doorbell circuit. These close for a minimum of 4 seconds to activate an existing doorbell or other device.
ISDR1 Door Strike Release Module
The optional ISDR1 Door Strike Release Module
provides relay contacts for activating a door
strike release from another manufacturer. The
module connects in the CAT-5 line between a
hub and an ISK3 door station. The ISDR1 can
be located anywhere in the CAT-5 line, though it
would be preferable to have it close to the door.
The ISDR1 obtains its operational power from
the hub. The separate door strike release must
receive voltage from its own power source.
The ISDR1 passes signals on all leads of the
CAT-5 cable except one which is used to activate the module from the hub upon receiving a
command from a keypad.
By providing a normally closed (NC) relay contact in addition to the normally open (NO) and
common contacts used for the door strike
release activation, the ISDR1 can be used for
other applications where a versatile relay is
needed. The ISDR1 can be activated by providing 15 VDC between two of the eight positions
in the 110 punch-down input connector.
Keypad backlight color selection
Each ComPoint keypad can be set to either
amber or green backlighting, selected by a
miniature slide switch on the bottom edge of
one of the circuit boards.
Select the desired backlight color before
installing the keypads.

Device installation and trim
The ISH1 hub is designed for surface mounting
or installation in a structured wiring panel. It
should be located near an electrical outlet.
The ISK1 and ISK2 Keypads are designed to
install in standard US electrical plastic wall
boxes with an internal volume of at least 18
cubic inches (295 cm
3
). Each keypad occupies
a single gang and accepts a Decora®wall plate.
For the best accessibility, viewability, and microphone reception, we recommend installing the
keypads at a standard thermostat height of 58
to 60 inches (1.5 m). This may vary according
to personal preferences or requirements.
The ISK3 Door Station installs in a standard single-gang US electrical deep plastic wall box with
an internal volume of at least 22 cubic inches
(360 cm
3
). It has its own weather-resistant front
plate and thus needs no other cover plate.
The ISDR1 Door Strike Release Module is a surface-mount device. It should be located in an
accessible area near the door, such as an attic,
basement, or closet space between the door
station and the hub. The ISDR1 connects to a
door strike release unit, which in most cases
would be installed by a security contractor.
Wiring and connections
ComPoint system components connect with
CAT-5 cable. Run CAT-5 from the hub location to
every keypad and door station location. If you
are installing ISDR1 modules, loop the door station cables through the module locations.
Each keypad in the system requires one or two
external speakers. If the ComPoint system is
sharing speakers with an audio system, loop
the speaker cables through the keypad locations. If dedicated speakers are being used, run
the speaker cables to the keypads.
When running CAT-5 and speaker cables, avoid
running them near AC power wiring. If you must
run the cables parallel to electrical wiring,
space the cables at least 12 inches (30 cm)
from the AC power lines.
110 punch-down connections
The keypads, door stations, and door strike
release modules have 110 punch-down connectors for the CAT-5 cables. Connect the wires
with a punch-down tool as shown below.

Speaker connections
Each keypad has an 8-pole screw-terminal connector for accessing the internal speaker relay.
This connector is typically used for connecting
the zone speakers in a multiroom audio system.
In a zone where the ComPoint system does not
share speakers with an audio system, connect a
dedicated speaker or pair of speakers to the
output terminals.
Note: Both speaker output channels must be
connected, since they are wired in series. If you
are using a single dedicated 8-ohm speaker
such as the ISSP ComPoint Speaker, connect
the speaker to one channel and a shorting
jumper to the other channel. If you are using a
single 4-ohm speaker, connect it to one channel
and a 4-ohm, 2-watt power resistor to the other
channel.
Be sure to observe polarity when connecting
the speaker wires. The standard color code for
4-conductor speaker cable is as follows:
Wire Color Polarity
White Left +
Green Left –
Black Right –
Red Right +
Hub modular connections
The hub has 8-pole modular jacks for keypad
and door station connections. The keypads connect to ports 1 through 6, and the door stations
connect to DOOR1 and DOOR2. These connections must be made according to the T568A
standard as shown below.
The hub also uses modular jacks for the link
ports. You may use any 8-pole straight-through
RJ-45 patch cable to link hubs together.
Doorbell connections
ComPoint can operate a separate doorbell system as well as provide doorbell chime tones in
the zones. To use a separate doorbell, connect
each door station to the doorbell as shown
below or in the doorbell system instructions.

Door strike release connections
The door strike release module has 110 punchdown connectors for the hub and door station
cables. It also has screw terminals for its relay
contacts that accept up to 14 AWG stranded
wire. The figure below shows the connections.
Power connection
After making all other connections and setting
the hub ID numbers (see next section), plug an
ISPS power supply into the power input jack on
each ISH1 hub.
Upon powering up, the hub(s) register all the
connected keypads and door stations for proper communications routing. Wait 15 seconds for
registration to complete before operating the
system. If a keypad or door station is connected or hubs are linked while the system is powered up, you will need to cycle power to the
hub(s).

Programming
System programming
Overview
All system programming resides in the ISH1
hub. For a six-zone system with ISK1 Basic
Keypads, programming consists only of setting
the doorbell chimes. For a system with ISK2
Advanced Keypads, programming includes
assigning zone and door station labels. For a
system with more than six zones, programming
includes setting hub ID numbers.
The ISH1 hub has DIP switches for setting the
doorbell chime and hub ID number assignments.
The hub’s firmware includes zone and door station labels for display on the ISK2 Advanced
Keypads. These labels are assigned by using a
connected ISK2 keypad.
With multiple hubs, the label settings are initially
stored in the hub to which the keypad is connected. Upon exiting the programming procedure, the settings are copied to the other hubs.
Hub 1 serves as the master hub for storing all
zone and door label settings. Whenever hub 1 is
powered up, its settings are copied to the other
hubs. Accordingly, hub 1 should be powered up
last whenever the system power is cycled.

Doorbell chimes
A single 8-switch DIP assigns doorbell chimes
for both door stations. Switches 1 through 3
select the chime for door 1 and switches 5
through 7 select the chime for door 2. There
are 7 chime options as well as a setting for no
chime when a separate doorbell system is
used. To select the chimes, set the switches as
shown in the table below.
Switch 4 selects how the chime volume level is
managed. Setting the switch to 1 (up) sets the
chime volume level to a fixed level at 50% of
the maximum keypad output in all zones. This
causes the chime to play at the same level in all
zones. Setting the switch to 0 (down) allows the
chime volume to be determined by the keypad
volume level setting in each zone independently.
Switch 8 is currently not used.
The ISH1 hub also has a gain control for setting
the overall volume of the doorbell chime through
the system. This can be used to adjust the
chime level relative to the communication level.
Note: In a system with multiple linked hubs,
only the settings on hub 1 affect the doorbell
chime assignments and volume level, since the
door stations connect only to hub 1. Because
the settings take effect immediately, the doorbell chimes can be set at any time. There is no
need to cycle the power after setting them.
Hub ID numbers
In any ComPoint system, there must be a hub
with ID number 1. In a multiple-hub system,
each hub’s ID number must be unique. On each
hub the ID number is manually assigned on the
4-switch HUB ID DIP before the system is powered up. To assign the ID number, set switches
1 through 3 as shown in the table below.
Switch 4 enables a programming mode for
updating the system firmware. Leave this switch
in the up position for system operation.
To obtain the firmware and update instruction
files, download them from the Document Center
at www.russound.com.

Zone and door station labels for Advanced
Keypads
The ISK2 Advanced Keypad shows which zone
or door station is selected by displaying a zone
or door station label. The default zone labels
are Zn#1 through Zn#36, based on the hub and
port numbers the keypads are connected to.
The default door station labels are Door1 and
Door2. You can assign zone labels from the
table above and door station labels from the
table to the right to replace the default labels.
The hubs retain label assignments in nonvolatile
memory so they won’t be affected if the system
loses power.
To assign labels you must have all hubs linked
together with unique ID numbers (if the system
has multiple hubs) and an ISK2 Advanced
Keypad connected to any hub. You can use the
same keypad to assign labels for the entire system. The system must be powered up to assign
labels.

System Functions
Detailed function descriptions
ComPoint routes communications by switching
its audio bus to the keypads and door stations.
All switching takes place in the hub(s). The hub
switches the bus to either the microphone or
the amplifier in a keypad or door station, depending on the direction of the communication.
For example, when you start an intercom session, the system switches the bus to the microphone in the sending keypad and the keypad
amplifier in the selected receiving zone. For the
reply, it reverses the connection so the microphone in the receiving keypad is connected to
the amplifier in the sending keypad.
Communication priority levels
Certain communication events take priority over
others for proper system operation. Each function has a priority level based on its application.
If two identical levels of communication overlap,
the first to occur has priority.
System functions have the following priorities:
Thus, paging is not allowed when the audio bus
is being used for an intercom session or a door
station call. Similarly, an intercom session is not
allowed when a door call or page is in progress.
However, paging and intercom can interrupt Listen mode, and door station calls can interrupt
all other communications. DND mode blocks all
levels of communication to a zone in that mode.
Paging
Paging is the default system function. To send a
page, all one needs to do is press and hold the
Talk key and speak, as long as the keypad is
not indicating a selected zone or door station.
Since a page is a system-wide broadcast, no
zone selection is necessary.
When a page is sent, the audio bus connects to
the microphone in the sending zone and the
amplifiers in all other zones that are not in DND
mode. All keypads indicate which zone is sending the page for 30 seconds after the Talk key
in the sending zone is released.
During this 30-second time frame, anyone in a
receiving zone can reply to the page by holding
in the Talk key and speaking. This switches the
audio bus to the microphone in the receiving
zone and the amplifier in the sending zone. The
reply is heard only in the sending zone.
With paging, pressing the Talk key causes a
single ping tone to sound in the receiving zones
to signal the beginning of the announcement.
Releasing the Talk key sounds a double ping to
signal the end of the announcement.
Zones in DND mode don’t receive a page audio
signal but do indicate the sending zone. Also,
pages are never sent to door stations.
Intercom
Intercom is a point-to-point communication that
involves only two zones, unlike a page which is
system wide. For ease of use, the intercom
function allows hands-free replies as well as
manual replies with the Talk key.

INSTALLER SECTION
System Functions
The intercom function requires first selecting a
target zone. This is done by pressing a zone
key on the ISK1 Basic Keypad or scrolling to a
zone label on the ISK2 Advanced Keypad. After
selecting a zone, the user may press the Talk
key to begin communication.
If an invalid zone (one that has no keypad) is
selected on an ISK1 Basic Keypad, the zone
key blinks rapidly for 7 seconds. Pressing
another zone key selects another zone. After a
valid target zone is selected, pressing the same
zone key deselects it.
If a zone in DND mode is selected on an ISK1
Basic Keypad, the zone key and DND key blink
rapidly for 7 seconds when the Talk key is
pressed.
With the ISK2 Advanced Keypad, only valid
zones (ones with keypads connected) appear in
the zone list on the display. If a zone in DND
mode is selected, the display alternately shows
the zone label and DND at 1-second intervals
and the DND key blinks rapidly for 7 seconds. A
selected zone can be deselected by selecting
Page or another zone.
When receiving an intercom message, the target keypad indicates the sending zone. This
indication remains for a 37-second reply period
after the Talk key on the sending keypad is
released.
There are two ways to reply to an intercom
message with either type of keypad: a handsfree reply within 7 seconds and using the Talk
key within 30 seconds thereafter. When the Talk
key on the sending keypad is released, both the
sending and target keypads sound a single ping
and the target keypad permits a hands-free
reply by activating its microphone for 7 seconds. During this period the Talk key on the target keypad is lit red to indicate the microphone
is active.
After the 7 seconds, a double ping in both the
sending and target zones indicates the end of
the hands-free reply period. A reply may still be
made by pressing and holding the Talk key within the next 30 seconds. After the 30 seconds, a
reply can no longer be made, but a person in
the receiving zone can start a new intercom
session to the original sender.
Each time a Talk key in either zone is released,
a single ping is heard in the other zone and the
7- and 30-second reply periods are renewed.
Door station call
Communication with the door stations is similar
to an intercom session, though there are significant differences. First, a door station has no
ability to select a target zone. Instead, it simply
rings the doorbell and a person in any zone can
reply. Second, for privacy reasons the system
doesn’t allow a hands-free reply to a door station call from the interior keypads. The reply
can be made only by pressing and holding the
Talk key.
When the Call key on a door station is pressed,
each hub instructs all connected keypads that
aren’t in DND mode to activate their speaker
relays and connects the audio bus to their
amplifiers. If a doorbell chime is selected on
hub 1, the chime is played through the speaker
outputs on those keypads and through the internal speakers in the door stations.
Intercom
(cont’d)
30
INSTALLER SECTION
System Functions
Pressing the Call key also causes the doorbell
contacts to close for a minimum of 4 seconds
to activate a separate doorbell or other device
connected to the door station. The actual time
varies with the doorbell selection on hub 1; the
contacts remain closed for the duration of the
selected chime.
Also, all keypads indicate which door station is
calling, regardless of whether or not they’re in
DND mode. The indication remains for 15 seconds, during which the door station is selected
at each keypad for reply.
Within the 15 seconds, a person at any keypad
can then speak with the person at the door
while holding in the Talk key. If the 15 seconds
pass before the Talk key is pressed, the person
inside will need to first select the door station
on the keypad and then press the Talk key to
start a new session. This will not activate the
doorbell chime.
When a door call is answered from inside, the
release of the Talk key at the keypad triggers a
single ping at the door station to let the caller
know they can reply. The person at the door
station has a 7-second window for a hands-free
reply after the single ping. The caller has the
option of speaking within the 7 seconds or
pressing and holding the Call key to speak
longer. Holding in the Call key keeps the audio
bus switched to the door station’s microphone.
If the 7-second hands-free window ends before
the caller presses the Call key to speak, the
door station sounds a double ping indicating the
audio bus has opened. At this point the caller
must press the Call key again to request another session if they wish to speak longer. This
also rings the doorbell again.
Door strike release
The optional ISDR1 Door Strike Release module
can be activated from any keypad at any time.
When activated, the module stays active for 3
seconds, confirmed by a buzz tone at the keypad and the door station.
On an ISK1 Basic Keypad, the module is activated by pressing and holding the appropriate door
key for 3 seconds.
When a communication session is active
between a door station and an ISK2 Advanced
Keypad, the module can be activated by pressing and holding both the Previous and Next keys
for 3 seconds. If no session is active, the door
will first need to be selected on the keypad.
Listen mode
Listen mode is a system state in which one keypad has a constantly active microphone and
one or more other keypads are receiving its
audio signal. This mode is subject to temporary
interruption when the system is used for paging, intercom, or door station sessions.
Selecting a keypad’s own zone connects its
microphone to the audio bus 2 seconds after
the selection is made. That zone then becomes
the sending zone for Listen mode. The keypad’s
Talk key lights up red to indicate the microphone is on. In addition, the zone key on an
ISK1 Basic Keypad blinks red and the display on
an ISK2 Advanced Keypad shows MicOn.
If another zone is already selected as a sending
zone for Listen mode, the keys on the Basic
Keypad for both the active zone and the desired
zone alternately blink red for 7 seconds to indicate which zone’s microphone is active. The
Advanced Keypad alternately displays the active
zone and MicOn for 7 seconds.
Door station call
(cont’d)
31
INSTALLER SECTION
System Functions
Selecting the sending zone on other keypads
connects their amplifiers to the audio bus so
they can listen to the sending zone.
Listen mode can be used with DND in the same
zone as long as Listen mode is enabled first.
On either type of keypad, selecting a zone other
than its own cancels Listen mode.
Because Listen mode is the lowest priority
communication, it can be interrupted by other
functions, including an intercom session from
the Listen mode sending keypad. When Listen
mode is interrupted, the sending and receiving
keypads give a system busy indication until the
interruption is over.
If the audio bus is not available, attempting to
activate a keypad’s microphone for Listen mode
will result in a system busy indication.
Audible keypad volume level indication
When the audio bus is inactive, pressing the
Volume Up or Volume Down key on a keypad
sounds a ping tone to audibly indicate the keypad’s output level. As volume is increased the
ping tone gets louder and vice versa. Once the
volume adjustment reaches either end of the
range, the ping tone no longer sounds.
System busy
If someone attempts to start a page or intercom session when the system is busy, the Talk
key on the keypad blinks red for 7 seconds to
indicate the system is unavailable. The ISK2
Advanced Keypad display also flashes Busy at
the same time.
Do Not Disturb (DND) mode
Placing a zone in Do Not Disturb (DND) mode
prevents the audio bus from being switched to
the keypad amplifier in that zone. Thus, that
zone will not receive any pages, intercom calls,
door station calls, or doorbell chimes (unless a
separate doorbell is used). However, DND mode
will not prevent the zone from receiving audio
