Flush Mount Intercom

Channel Selection: Press the Channel button to set intercom to one of four secure channels or the paging channel. The default channel for the intercom is the

Paging channel where all four channel lights will flash in sequence. An intercom on a channel can only hear an intercom on the same channel or on the Paging channel.

Command Gate: A gate can be opened with a call from an intercom. When an intercom has been activated by another intercom, the talk button can be pressed to secure a channel to the gate. To allow access from the gate, press and release the Remote button to open the gate.

The gate can also be opened without a call from an intercom. Press and hold the Remote button and an initial beep will be heard. Continue to hold until a second beep is heard, then release.

If pressing the Remote button did not open the gate, a siren noise will be heard. No siren noise indicates a successful signal transmission.

Switch Settings: Switch #1 and #2 determine which

GCU the intercom will activate. Default Identity is #1

(both Dipswitches DOWN).

SW1: GCU Mode (see chart

UP below for setting)

SW2: GCU Mode (see chart

DOWN below for setting)

SW3: Conference Mode (UP is

Conference Mode, DOWN is

Secure Mode)

SW4: Not used. Leave in default position (DOWN).

Default for all switches is DOWN.

NOTE: The following step applies only if more than one GCU is being used.

Up to four GCUs can be used. Each GCU will have a different Identity. Set the Identity of the GCU by changing the Dipswitches as shown in the chart below.

Installation

Step 1

Choose mounting locations where both intercoms will work when tested.

NOTES:

• The wall location should be clear of beams and other obstructions inside the wall.

• Do not mount intercoms within 6' of each other.

• Do not mount intercom near any electrical wiring or electrical devices.

6 1/8"

4 1/2"

Step 3

Place the frame in the hole and tighten screws.

NOTE: Place frame in wall so that the two small slots are on the top and the larger single slot is on the bottom.

Cut a hole in the wall measuring 6 1/8" wide by

4 1/2" high.

Step 4

Step 2

Insert a screw into each hole in the frame and attach the fasteners. Tighten screw only 1/4" into the fastener.

3

Place intercom in frame by inserting top section first, then snapping the lower section into place.

Troubleshooting

Intercom does not function.

It is normal for LEDs to go out if intercom has been inactive for 5 minutes. The LEDs should light after a button is pressed or a signal is received.

Check batteries in Intercom.

Ensure intercom is connected to a network.

See Program.

Ensure that intercoms are on the same channel. See

Operation & Features.

Intercom is not getting expected transmission range.

Keep Intercom away from trees, metal objects and electrical wiring.

Intercom does not activate the gate.

If there is no communication between the intercom and a primary device (like the GAPLM), the Channel

Light on the intercom will light solid for 10 seconds without any additional audio warnings.

Relocate the intercom or primary device or use repeaters to complete radio link.

Intercom emits a siren noise after Remote button is activated.

Verify the GCU is within range of the intercom or intercom systems. Repeaters may be required to allow intercoms to communicate with the GCU.

Replace batteries in the GCU.

Intercom beeps every ten minutes.

The battery is low in the intercom. Replace with

C batteries.

NOTE: To prevent damage to the circuit DO NOT use

C size Lithium batteries.

Need to clear intercom’s memory.

Press and hold both buttons. Two beeps will be heard and the channel lights will begin to cycle. Continue to hold until a third beep is heard (about 15 seconds).

Ensure other intercoms are not activated during this time. Intercoms in the network that are on will signal during the clearing process. Once memory is clear the intercom can be programmed to a new network.

Static and feedback is heard in intercom.

The intercoms are too close to each other. A cordless phone, cell phone, or other radio devices can also cause static.
