Door Box

Description
The Door Box is a self-contained Intercom unit typically used to monitor an entrance door. A visitor at
the door can press the Door Box call button (like a door bell). The Door Box then sends chime tones to
all extensions programmed to receive chimes. To answer the chime, the called extension user just lifts
the handset. This lets the extension user talk to the visitor at the Door Box. The Door Box is
convenient to have at a delivery entrance, for example. It is not necessary to have company personnel
monitor the delivery entrance; they just answer the Door Box chimes instead. Any number of system
extensions can receive Door Box chime tones.
Each Door Box has a pair of normally open relay contacts that can connect to an electric door strike.
Use these contacts to remotely control the entrance door. After answering the Door Box chimes, a
system phone user can press FLASH to activate the Door Box contacts. This in turn releases the
electric strike on the entrance door. The device connected to the Door Box contacts cannot exceed the
contact ratings shown in the table below:
