The Spectrum Systems answer the call for a durable, vandal
resistant, telephone entry system used in applications that
require a paper directory insert or an external directory.
Since Spectrum Systems use the existing telephone network,
there is no new wiring necessary between the entrance and
each office or tenant. The called party simply talks to
the visitor using their phone and grants access by pressing
"9". As a result, you save thousands of dollars
over the cost of installing a hard-wired intercom, not to
mention the saving on maintenance costs over the life of
the system.
The Spectrum is an especially cost-effective and attractive
solution for most buildings and gated communities. Units
are housed in a rugged, stainless steel enclosure with a
recessed, internally edge-lit metal keypad for easy viewing
day or night. Either unit can be installed inside or outside
because they are engineered to withstand harsh weather conditions
and vandalism. Regardless of the unit chosen, all features
and functions are identical and both can be hands-free or
utilize a handset.
Two versions are available, the standard Spectrum and Spectrum-DI.
The standard unit consists of a telephone keypad only. It
assumes a directory list exists outside of the enclosure.
The Spectrum-DI is provided from SENTEX SYSTEMS with a paper
directory insert, capable of supporting 125 typed names.
Additional names can be displayed by utilizing additional
directory modules that hold 125 names each.
There are several ways of programming a Spectrum. If a
computer is available you can use the intuitive computer
based software tool for retrieving, sorting, and programming
the unit. If a computer is not available, they can be programmed
using a standard touch-tone phone or the Spectrum’s
12-digit keypad. Whichever method you select, guided prompts
ensure programming time is kept to a minimum.
As with all our Telephone Entry Systems, the Spectrum also
boasts a multitude of features that makes the installation
quick, operation simple, and management effortless. If you
want a rugged, yet attractive, telephone entry system than
the Spectrum is the perfect choice.
FEATURES
Full-Duplex Communications
Provides crisp clear audio in both directions without clipping,
even in most noisy environments.
Entry Codes
Each resident can be assigned a 4-digit access code that
is used to unlock the gate or door. An additional 10 access
codes are provided for vendors or management so the maximum
capacity can be used for tenants.
Long Distance and PBX Dialing
Due to the amount of area codes in a single region, many
areas are updating from a 7 digit dialing sequence to a
10 and 11 digit sequences. The Spectrum supports up to 11
digits on a typical phone system and interfaces seamlessly
to a PBX system where extensions are utilized. Up to a 6-digit
extension can be used for PBX type systems.
Programming Methods
The Spectrum supports programming via a standard touch-tone
phone, the units 12-digit keypad, or windows based programming
software (SVWIN).
Password Protection
For increased security, the Spectrum requires a 6-digit
password for any programming modifications.
Tone/Pulse Dialing
Each system can be site configured to operate on the two
types of available phone lines.
Variable Code Length
The Spectrum will accept up to a 4-digit directory code
length so apartments or suite numbers can be matched making
it easier to locate the intended party.
Programmable Talk Time
The time allotted for a visitor and tenant to talk is adjustable
from 15 to 250 seconds.
Multiple Entry
Allows multiple Spectrum units to be connected to a single
telephone line saving you the cost of additional phone line
charges. Up to 3 units may be placed on the same line.
Controllable System Relays
Allows the main gate and an auxiliary connection (a second
gate or door) to be controlled, such as opened to let a
visitor enter. The relays can be remotely managed from the
manager’s touch-tone phone. The relays can be latched
open or closed.
Programmable Relay Times
The two relays can also be programmed to activate for a
pre-determined time range of 1-63 seconds to allow visitor
access.
Internal Modem
Provides the ability to program the telephone entry system
via a personal computer from any remote location with a
standard phone line. This provides a more convenient method
of managing the system.
Lightning Protection
Physical inputs and telephone line connections contain
some protection against typical voltage spikes, such as
phone line variances and lightning. However, in an area
where lightning is prevalent, external surge suppressors
should also be used to minimize any power hits to the unit.
Non-Volatile Memory
In the event power is removed from the unit, the database
information will be retained in memory allowing immediate
start-up and operation when power is restored.
Programming Display
A seven segment LED display is included that is viewable
from the outside of the enclosure to ensure programming
the unit is clear and concise.
Postal Lock Provision
The Spectrum is provided with a switch for a generic Postal
Lock key assembly to allow postal carriers access to a controlled
area using the U.S. Postal Service Key.
Directory Module
Each additional module is supplied in a lighted, stainless
steel enclosure with Lexan window and capacity for 125 typewritten
names and codes.
Stainless Steel Housing
Spectrum Systems come standard with Stainless Steel Faceplates
to ensure long lasting beauty and durability. Now this unit
has an option to purchase a Stainless Steel Housing, with
gray powder coat finish. This configuration will increase
the resistance to most vandalism and environmental conditions.
