1. THE INTERCOM UNIT

Each dwelling on your scheme will be fitted with an Intercom Unit, there may also be others in
communal areas, corridors, toilets, etc.

Any Intercom Unit or associated pullcords in the bedrooms, bathrooms, etc, can be used to place an
emergency alarm call on the system.

Basic operating instructions are printed on each Intercom Unit.
The standard Intercom Unit has only two external controls, one is a front panel switch and the other an

orange alarm pullcord.
The front panel switch controls a PRIVACY facility in the Intercom Unit. Switching the privacy function

ON disables the microphone function of the Intercom, thereby preventing eavesdropping.
Operation of the alarm pullcord places an emergency call on the system which is then reported to the

Portable Master Unit or Central Control.
Operation of the alarm pullcord or any associated pullcords in the dwelling automatically overrides the

privacy facility for approx 15 minutes.
The red call LED indicator on the Intercom Unit will illuminate when an alarm call is initiated.
The LED will remain illuminated until the alarm call is answered in the onsite mode of operation. If the

system is operating in the offsite mode the LED will illuminate momentarily then a reassurance tone is
sounded from the Intercom Unit until the call is answered by Central Control.

The Portable Master Unit should be plugged into an Intercom Unit on the system at all times.

plugged into the system at any one time.
