Additional handset for BPT door entry system
Hi,
Does anyone here know if it is possible to add a second handset to an existing BPT door entry system?. My friend has a duplex flat and it is a pain having to keep going downstairs. Looking at the BPT web site, it looks like he has a C/200 but I have no idea if it is analogue or digital. The flat is 7 years old and there are only 5 flats in the block If so, any tips for doing it? I'm hoping it is a simple case of wiring another one in parallel with the original one. I've looked on the BPT site - there are wiring diagrams there but no way of identifying which one corresponds to which model. Thanks, Alan. |

strung together this: Does anyone here know if it is possible to add a second handset to an existing BPT door entry system?. Pass, try ringing BPT. Looking at the BPT web site, it looks like he has a C/200 but I have no idea if it is analogue or digital. The flat is 7 years old and there are only 5 flats in the block If so, any tips for doing it? I'm hoping it is a simple case of wiring another one in parallel with the original one. Off the top of my head, ('cos my manuals are all in the car!), it should be as everything on each handset is idle until it's picked up. If it doesn't work then a couple of relays can be used to isolate one when the other is picked up, powered from the switch under the earpiece on the base. I've looked on the BPT site - there are wiring diagrams there but no way of identifying which one corresponds to which model. I think the C200 handset is pretty straightforward, DC for the comms and an AC switched for the buzzer and a NO AC loop for the lock release. -- SJW Please reply to group or use 'usenet' in email subject |

Terminal 5 will be the common negative Terminal 7 is the call signal Terminal 8 is Audio signal to handset Terminal 9 is Audio signal to Door panel The key terminals are, natrurally a push to make pair, I've looked on the BPT site - there are wiring diagrams there but no way of identifying which one corresponds to which model.
