Intercom Entrance Panel
The Alpha Communications® AM492 series Tek- Guard™ Vandal-
Resistant entrance panel is a modular series for use with simplex
type, loudspeaker suite stations.
Panels are equipped with a mylar, voice-frequency
response speaker protected by a louvered speaker grille. The
speaker panel can accommodate up to 18 push buttons. The
aluminum push button actuators may be engraved with up to four
letter/digit combinations (at extra cost). For more than 18 suites
the AM492 is used in conjunction with the AM490 series

Pressing the button corresponding to the desired name and

resident may then converse with the caller. Controlled entry is
permitted by push button operation of the electric door release.
AM492 panels with 0 - 10 buttons are available with postal option
(add suffix 'P' to the model number).
