ABB Audio Handset Indoor Station, 6 Buttons

Audio Indoor Station for ABB Door Entry Systems

Designed like a corded telephone, the ABB Audio Handset Indoor Station with 6 Buttons gives residents a convenient way to answer intercom calls from outdoor stations in their ABB Door Entry System. When the station rings, pick up the handset to answer. The handset provides clear audio communication, and the six pushbuttons make it easy to access other functions in the system, including triggering a door lock release, making a door status check, and calling a Guard Unit. With a built-in induction loop, the station also optionally supports hearing aid users by sending incoming audio wirelessly to the hearing aid(s) and directly into the resident's ear(s).

• Provides audio communication with outdoor stations
• 1 button for door unlock release and 5 auxiliary buttons
• Up to 5 different ringtones differentiate call sources
• Adjustable volume via side switch (max-mid-mute)
• Surface-mounts with integrated bracket or optionally flush-mounts

6 Buttons for Various Applications

The first pushbutton is intended for easily unlocking a connected door lock. The activating or deactivating of automatic unlock can be made by simply pressing the unlock button for 10 seconds. The other five buttons are programmable for various functions. You could, for example, set the second button to call the outdoor station, and set the third button to release a second door lock or check on the status of a lock.

5 Ringtones & 2 LED Indicators

The station makes it easy to know what's going on with your system. You can choose up to five different ringtones to differentiate between various sources of incoming calls, such as your main outdoor station vs your Guard Unit. Two LEDs also provide system status indications.

Installation Details

The ABB Audio Handset Indoor Station connects to the System Controller (sold separately) using two wires. Multiple indoor stations may be daisy-chained together. You can either surface-mount it to the wall using its screw holes, or flush-mount into an ABB Flush Mounted Box (sold separately). After the station is wired into the Door Entry System, it simply snaps into the box.

NOTE: Requires 2-wire connection to a System Controller, sold separately. Also requires use with at least one outdoor station that includes an audio module. Installation hardware not included. For indoor use only.

How to Build Your System

Every ABB Door Entry System needs at least two components: a System Controller (either standard or mini) and an Audio Module (any variation). With these two foundational components, the system can be expanded and customized as needed. Additional system components may include:

• Custom Modular Outdoor Stations
• Audio Module (speaker/mic, with or without pushbuttons)
• Pushbutton Module (with or without built-in card reader)
• Keypad Module (with or without built-in card reader)
• Display Module with Built-In Card Reader
• Camera Module
• Nameplate Module
• Pre-Assembled Outdoor Stations
• Hands-Free Indoor Stations (with or without video screen and/or induction loop)
• Handset Indoor Stations (with or without video screen and/or induction loop)
• Guard Unit (specialized station for security monitoring)
• Mobile Devices (requires Telephone Gateway and/or IP Gateway)
• Telephone Gateway (for integrating mobile or landline phones)
• IP Gateway (for enabling remote Internet access)
• Switch Actuator (for relay control)
• Camera Interface (for connecting third-party analog cameras)
• Elevator Lift Control Relay Module (for elevator/floor access control)

Other accessories are also available for installation and connection. Most notably, in order to build a custom modular outdoor station, you will need to select the modules you wish to include in the station, and then match the number of modules to the appropriate size Flush-Mounted Box and Faceplate. (Flush-mounted boxes support optional surface-mounting in addition to flush-mounting. When surface-mounting, a Rain Hood is also required; only optional when surface-mounting.) The screwless, snap-on design of both outdoor and indoor stations makes installation a breeze.
