Basic Information about Intercom System

Intercom System Basic

This  basic  information  about  intercom  system  will  help you gain a better understanding of what it is all about and how it functions. If you are looking to have one installed in your home or office, then you should read along and learn what an intercom system is, its key parts, and the purpose it serves.

Components of a Basic Intercom System

Primarily, there are two main parts of an intercom system, which include the master station and substation. In  the  part  of  the  building  or  home where communication is needed to be received, a master station is installed. On the other hand, the area where communication originates has a substation.

If  the  intercom  system  is  designed to be installed at the office, it is usually recommended that the front entry  remains  locked.  Moreover,  there is an intercom system installed, which facilitates communication between  the  receptionist  situated  in the lobby and the person who is standing outside the door. In case
this  is  the  purpose  of  the intercom system, then it is necessary to have the substation installed outside
the door (commonly positioned on the wall) while the master station remains at the lobby desk.


Functions of the Master Station and Substation

The intercom system's  main  control area is found on the master station. There are essential parts in the master  station  such  as the  talk button, volume control, amplifier and station selector switch. Unlike the master station, the  substation  comes with only  two components, which are the call button and speaker.
So, it only  requires  a  single  press  on  the  substation's  call  button once a person needs to talk to the receptionist inside the office. 


After  pressing  the button, any sounds originating from the substation is heard by the receptionist. Then,
the talk button  on  the master station is pressed by the receptionist, so he or she could talk to the visitor. The idea  is  each  time a button is pressed (whether it is the call or talk button), communication is made possible. Then, releasing the button allows the person to listen to any replies made by the one he or she
is  talking  to  on  the other side of the room. Once the conversation is over, the station selector switch is pressed the second time as this causes the connection to be terminated.


Additional Facts about the Intercom System 

There are instances when having multiple substations is necessary since  this allows for communication
to  be  made  with  several  locations.  In  this  case,  a  master  station  that  functions  with a number of
substations comes with a station selector switch that is compatible for each of the station. There  is also
an  indicator  light  and  label  found  in each switch, so this helps people understand the substation that corresponds to these.


It  is  also   worth   noting  that  intercom  calls may be needed to be received at various locations in the
building.  Hence,  multiple  master  stations   are  required,  and  these  an  communicate  with  various
substations. Basically,  one master  station  answers  and  handles  the  call while the rest of the master stations only ignore it. It is also not possible to use other master stations when one is currently in use.


With  this  basic  information  about intercom system, you should be able to determine which one works
​for your needs before having it installed in your home or office building.
