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

A wired audio intercom with a keypad built into the entry panel, so staff or residents can let themselves in with a code while visitors press to call. The call button and speaker sit above a 12-key keypad on a slim, architectural panel, and inside the building you answer on a curved handset and release the gate from there. The wiring is simple, with two wires for speech, two for the release and two for power, on a run of shielded Cat5 cable up to 300m. One handset is in the kit and the system takes up to four. The panel measures 297 x 144 x 40mm and runs on a standard 12V DC supply. 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.

Codes at the gate, without a separate keypad. A keypad in the same panel means less drilling, less cable and a single unit at the gate. Staff can use a code while visitors still call through to the handset.

Same wiring as the plain panel. It uses the same simple wiring as the audio version, so an installer already familiar with the panel can fit it easily.

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 kit is the taller panel with a keypad, at 297mm high against 192mm for the plain version. Choose it if you need code entry at the gate. If you only need a call button, the plain panel is the simpler choice. If you cannot run a cable, 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.
