Audio Phones
The BSA audio phone can be used as a lower cost alternative to an extension videophone.
It is styled like the bellissimo videophone. The phone is manufactured in white and grey
high-impact ABS plastic that imparts high durability and compliments most wall
furnishings. It incorporates both mute and lock illuminated buttons and it has an Electronic
Ringing Tone with rotary preset volume.

Electric Door Release
Both fail-secure and fail-safe lock releases (including magnetic locks) use the same
terminals. To set the lock type, refer to the ‘Door Controller Settings’. When installing lock
releases please allow a little movement on the door, as operation will be impaired if fitted
too tight.
NB. Magnetic locks (maglocks) must be fitted with a suppressor at the lock terminals.
Some manufacturers fit an acceptable internal suppressor.
Fail Safe Exit: Notes
Fail safe exits require an exit button and this should be normally open so that the controller
can be used to give a timed exit. If the exit button has both normally open and normally
closed contacts, then the normally closed contact can be wired in series with the release
or maglock along with the break glass in case of equipment failure.
A not uncommon problem with maglocks, because they cannot be mechanically
overridden, is being locked out of the building due to lost codes, fobs or equipment failure.
So consider an alternate building entrance, or an externally accessible secure keyswitch,
or a reliable method of disabling the system during overnight secure lockup.
Fail Secure Exit: Notes
Commonly fail secure exit doors incorporate a thumb-turn, door handle or mini push bar
rather than use of an exit button. Fire officers usually require a minimum of door handle or
push bar to open a door on a fire exit route – not a thumb-turn.
Most fail secure locks are not continuously rated and if an electrical hold open system is
used for say busy times, then a continuously rated release must be used.
Powered bolt, shoot-bolt or other more secure door locking systems may require the use
of separate power supplies or a suppressor to be fitted. Shoot-bolt systems for instance
