Intercom

[acutting]

Does anyone recognise this outdoor station of an intercom/access panel for a block of flats? It has a Bell 61 speech unit, but I have spoken with Bell who state it isn't their system. We are having problems with people gaining access to the communal areas, and are looking to disable entry via access code. But without a manual for the control board it's becoming a little challenging!

Have redacted the property address.

Those number button entry units, often use a 'set the links, to set the code', inside them - using perhaps two codes, a master entry code, and a general user code. Are there any such numbered links, in there?

Think you need to see if there’s a controller or if the company name is on any of the handsets …..it’s a bell systems speech unit and surface panel ….but it could be modified….

Thanks guys, had another look at this today and found the controller hidden away in the 3rd floor riser. Seems totally propriatary with hand soldered PCBs.

I did see a header on the PCB with a bit of cable soldered to it which was marked Test, although I was scared to apply 12V to it i case I blew the thing up!

The company that made it was liquidated years ago, so I imagine parts are almost impossible.

I turned off the time clock, which has prevented one of the codes working. But the master code is the one we really need to disable.

Guess it's time for a new system!

Once again, thanks for your efforts.
