Holovision The DoorMan TES2 Telephone Entry Intercom — Installation Instructions

Installation instructions for The DoorMan "TES2" Intercom Unit (Manual Type 107 DM R1) by Holovision — a telephone entry system that connects a front and back door to every phone in the house, letting the homeowner answer visitors from any handset.

Overview

The DoorMan telephone entry system provides communication between the front door and every phone in the house. When the doorbell button is pressed, phones throughout the house ring with a distinctive ring pattern, and the homeowner can speak to the visitor by answering any ringing phone. The DoorMan is a 2-door system (front door, back door), with an optional T-RLY relay board available for gate/lock control.

Note: Voltage from telephones is not necessary for the system to work (see the "No CO Operation" configuration below). The connection between the main board and the speaker board is polarity-sensitive — follow the wiring diagram in the original manual carefully.

Basic Set-Up

1. Mount the main board near the telephone distribution center of the house and attach the telephone line from the service provider to the connection labeled "LINE TO DEMARC."
2. Connect the house phone distribution system to the wire terminals labeled "HOUSE PHONE."
3. Punch down "ONE" and "TWO" door stations. If only one door station is used, connect it at the "ONE" punch-down location. Note: this connection is polarity-sensitive.

Set "No Ring" Option

Shipped disabled by default. Use this option if external door chimes are installed and the phones should not ring when the doorbell button is pressed.

1. When "NO RING" is selected, the phones will not ring. When the homeowner hears the external door chime (not supplied by Holovision) and picks up any telephone, they are automatically connected to the door phone — no additional buttons need to be pushed. The door call remains available for 10 seconds after the button is pressed; after that, follow the "Basic Operation of TES2" instructions below.
2. To enable "NO RING," install jumper pin J6 on the far right side of the board.
3. To connect door chimes and TES2, a double-pole button must be used (Part Number 9202, available from Holovision). Note: the bezel requires re-tapping with a 12mm x 1.0mm tap, also available from Holovision.

Set "No CO Line" Option

Shipped disabled by default. Use this option if there is no CO (Central Office) telephone line to the home — for example, if homeowners use cell phones only. In this case, several phones would be required throughout the house solely to answer door phone calls.

1. For "NO CO" operation, install 2 jumper pins (J3, J4) at the bottom of the board.

Door Ring Patterns

Gate Control Relay (Optional T-RLY)

The T-RLY (Part Number 9408-3) is an optional relay board mounted to the TES main board using the supplied metal standoffs, which also make the electrical connection. Connect the gate to the relay terminal for Door 1 or Door 2. If installed, the door latch/gate relay can be activated by pressing "6" on a connected phone — the relay activates for 5 seconds. To increase the activation time, hold down the "6" key for the desired duration.

Operation of TES2

Answering a Call

When you hear the distinctive ring pattern: within 10 seconds, simply pick up any telephone to be connected to the door speaker that initiated the call. After 10 seconds, pick up any telephone, press flash, and you'll be connected to Door 1; to connect to Door 2, pick up the phone, flash, and press "2."

Call Waiting

TES2 has built-in call waiting. If a house phone is in use when the door button is pushed, the caller receives a call-waiting tone. Flash to answer the door call, and flash again to return to the original call.

Switching Between Doors

Users can switch to the other door station at any time by pressing "1" or "2" while connected to Door 1 or Door 2.

Initiating a Call

To call a door station from a house phone, go off-hook and flash for Door 1, or go off-hook and flash "2" for Door 2.
