Intercom In Domestic

[r.b]

I saw an intercom basic power to 12 volt tranny Im sure it was alarm cable coming out of it to a door press intercom speaker then out of there to the pick up reciever inside the house this sound right? my question is could I go from the tranny to reciever then door press intercom say if it was quicker doing it like that what do you use just 2 connections inside the reciever and door intercom with the alarm cable?

 

[Andy™]

erm... try reading the instructions of the intercom you want to fit?

Kevin Webster .....looking at a F long sentence

Just saying!

Most standard door entry systems use 5 cores, only 4 if you dont need the door release & can be wired whatever easiest as long as the correct connections are made. Some newer kits do work on a 2 wire system which you normally would have to strictly follow the manufacturers instructions.

I have got another question on intercoms at flats say if they was 14 rooms in flats with a door entry intercom speaker, so they would be 14 alarm cables coming off the door entry speaker to each of the rooms?.Fair enough if the door entry is battery powered,  but what if not would it need power off a 12 volt tranny to the door entry speaker say off the bottom room flat or what if its 230v straight to door entry.Im asking because I dont really no!

 

[Andy™]

depends on the system

 

[SLIPSHOD & SLAPDASH]

Youv'e lost me. You dont normally have a speaker in every room, maybe one handset in the hall and not normally battery powered

 

[kme]

I`ve asked nicely - can you PLEASE use a bit of punctuation.

"battery powered door release"???? Wha???

The last one i did (which wasn`t 14 flats) had a multicore to each floor - every flat used the same cores, apart from one, which was flat-specific. So my 10 core per floor allowed me to have 6 intercoms to a floor. I only needed 4, so I had spare cores.

depends on the system. there isn`t a "one way fits all" answer - as Andy says, you need to read the instructions for the kit in question. It isn`t brain surgery

 

[r.b]

What system was it kme a 12 volt one?What did you do come of a 12volt tranny to the door entry intercom first?

 

[kme]

If memory serves, the lock was 12VDC; but the audio side was phantom (48V) if I recall correctly

 

[Andy™]

you know what the next question is, might aswell start getting your answer ready

 

[Sharpend]

Phantom 48v, that's an echo of 12v, well it's on the audio side!

 

[SLIPSHOD & SLAPDASH]

48 crash is a silk sash bash.
