Hardwired Audio Gate Intercom Kit, Slim Entry Panel and Handset, 12V DC

A wired audio intercom kit for a gate or door, with a slim architectural entry panel and a curved handset. Callers press the button at the panel, you speak through the handset inside and release the gate or door from the handset. The installation is simple, with two wires for speech, two for the gate or door release and two for power, all on one run of shielded Cat5 cable for up to 300m. One handset is included, and you can have up to four on the same system. The panel measures 192 x 144 x 40mm, and the whole kit runs on a standard 12V DC supply. It does not need a mobile network. The price shown is for the complete kit.

Why this system works

Simple, proven wiring. The system is hardwired, so it does not depend on a mobile signal or a wireless link. Two wires carry the speech, two carry the gate or door release and two carry the power, so the cable run is easy to plan and easy to fault find.

A tidy panel at the gate. The slim panel has a neat architectural look with a single call button, and it does not stand out at the front of a smart building or gated entrance.

Room for more than one handset. One handset comes in the kit, and you can add up to four in total on a single system, so a reception and two offices, for example, can answer the same panel. The handset has a curved profile.

Where it is used

Offices, small business units, gated entrances to flats, commercial yards with a gatehouse, and homes with a gate or side door where a cable can be run between the entrance and the handset. It needs a cable route and a 12V DC supply. If you cannot get a cable to the gate, choose a wireless or GSM system instead.

Specifications

Choosing the right system

This is the plain audio version with no keypad. If you also want keypad code entry at the gate for staff, choose the version with keypad, once you know how many users need access. For long distances where a cable cannot be run, a wireless intercom or a GSM intercom is the better fit.

Fitting and care

Mount the panel at a sensible height for callers, using the fixing centres in the table above. Run shielded Cat5 cable from the panel to the handset, keeping it away from mains cable, and connect the release wires to your lock or gate control. Fit the power supply in a dry enclosure. A competent person should install the system and check that the release works correctly with your lock, whether it is fail-safe or fail-secure.

Wipe the panel down with a soft damp cloth and do not use abrasive cleaners. Check that the cable is secure at each service visit.
