COMMUNICATION

Intercommunication System
An intercommunication system is a set of intercom units consisting of circuits, buttons,
microphones, receivers and sometimes handsets connecting to each other at different stations
rooms or offices) of an organization. Each button bears the name or number of a station
(executive or administrative assistant).
An officer can call any single channel or conference with multiple locations at once. The
intercom unit also allows private conversation between and two channels without disturbing the
others.
Press call to page another station (room or office). Press talks to communicate. Press lock
to audio monitor another room or office. An intercom unit can be either analogue or
digital.
There is also a door interoom unit. When a person presses the buzzer at door, someone inside at
the service station lifts the handset, communicates with the person then releases the door lock
mechanism, if necessary, to allow the person to enter.
With the digital system the person presses the appropriate number on the keypad and the officer
designated to the number being called will answer.
