Minelec is constantly maintaining, upgrading, and designing expansions for their overall intercom system which includes several hundred intercoms and 6 different intercom sub-systems linked together to form their total solution.
- We designed and developed a custom communication device based on the customer’s requirements. This unit allows a user to use a touchscreen interface to select the logo of the company to initiate hands-free communication with a pre-programmed telephone system extension. This unit is finished with a milled anodized aluminum frame, and the entire unit is flush mounted next to the elevator doors.
Parking Garage Duress Stations with Custom Mapping Display:
- We supplied a custom intercom solution for the 4-level underground parking garage, designed to meet the customer’s operational specifications. Each duress station includes one hands-free intercom for emergency and information calling, along with a corresponding high-visibility strobe and an emergency alert siren.
Operation:
- When a user presses the emergency call button on the duress station, the corresponding strobe and siren is activated.
- The mapping display in the security office displays the location of the incoming call, as well as any description or text associated with the calling device.
- Upon answering the call from the intercom station in security, the mapping display displays the incoming device in a connected state, as opposed to “calling”.
- When the call is answered by security, the siren is deactivated so hands-free communication can take place.
- When the call is disconnected by security, the strobe deactivates, and the device is cleared from the mapping display.
