resolved here please submit a question directly to Technical Support. Open Voice Products
LEF System
Q: Is the LEF System compatible
with the IE/IF Door Stations?
A: NO. Use
LE- or LS-series door stations or LE-series sub stations only.
Q: Are the LEF System
masters compatible with the LEM System masters?
A: NO, although both use the
LE-Series sub stations.
Q: Can the LEF System
be connected to a Paging System?
A: YES, with the BA-1
Paging Adapter and the appropriate sized amplifier.
Q: Are there any multiple
call door stations for the LEF System?
A: YES, the LE-B2, LE-B4,
LE-B6 and LE-B10, listed as Special Order Products.
We have also introduced the LE-GA series, available with 2 ~ 8 call buttons
(LE-GA2 ~ LE-GA8).
Q: Is the NE-NVP/B Vandal
Resistant Door Station compatible with the LEF System?
A: NO. Use the LS-NVP/B.
Q: Is the RY-AC External
Signaling Relay compatible with the LEF System?
A: YES. See the Systems Modification
Manual for connection information.
Q: Is the SP-5N Ceiling
Speaker compatible with the LEF System?
A: NO, use the SP-20N
20 ohm speaker with an
NP-25V non-polarized capacitor (33mfd, 25V, Non-polarized).
Q: Is the LEF System compatible
with the MY Video Cameras?
A: YES, using the MYW-P1L,
MYW-P3L, or MYW-P10L Video Door Adapters.
Q: What is the difference
between the LEF-10 and the LEF-10S?
A: The LEF-10S has an All Call
button, which allows announcements to be made throughout the system when
the BG-10C and PS-1225UL are included with the system.
Q: Is the LEF System expandable
beyond 11 stations?
A: YES, using the LAF-C
Console Series master
station. The LAF-C Master may be expanded to call up to 120 stations, and
is listed as a Special Order Product. (LEF masters are only available
up to 10 stations.)
This is a commercial grade system only.

LEM System
Q: Is the LEM System compatible
with the IE/IF Door Stations?
A: NO. Use LE- or
LS-series door stations or LE-series sub stations only.
Q: Are the LEM System
masters compatible with the LEF System masters?
A: NO, although both use
the LE-Series sub stations.
Q: Can the LEM System
be connected to a Paging System?
A: YES, with the BA-1
Paging Adapter and the appropriate sized amplifier.

call door stations for the LEM System?
A: YES, the LE-B2, LE-B4,
LE-B6 and LE-B10, which are listed as Special Order Products.
Q: Is the NE-NVP/B Vandal
Resistant Door Station compatible with the LEM System?
A: NO. Use the LS-NVP/B.
Q: Is the RY-AC External
Signaling Relay compatible with the LEM System?
A: YES, but the RY-AC will
require a 12V DC Power Supply (PS-1225UL). See the Systems Modification
Manual for details.
Q: Is the SP-5N Ceiling
Speaker compatible with the LEM System?
A: NO, use the SP-20N with an
NP-25V non-polarized capacitor (33mfd, 25V, Non-polarized).
Q: Is the LEM System compatible
with the MY Video Cameras?
A: NO.
Q: Can more than one LEM
Master be used in an application?
A: Only the LEM-1DL/C can
include multiple master stations. The LEM-1DL can be modified with the
DAK-2S Dual Master Adapter Kit. One adaptor kit allows one to call
two masters. Each master requires a separate power supply
(SKK-620 for LEM-1/3 and PT-1210N for LEM-1DL).
Q: Can more than one Sub
or Door Station be used with the LEM System?
A: The LEM-3 can have up to three
sub stations. The LEM-1 and LEM-1DL can only have one door station.

CHIME-COM System
Q: Is the Chime-Com 2
(CC-1M) compatible with the CHIME-COM (C-ML/A)?
A: NO.
Q: Is the Chime-Com 2
compatible with the LE-Series or IE-Series Door Stations?
A: NO.
Only the door station sold with the kit (CC-DA) is compatible.
Q: Is the Chime-Com compatible
with the LE-Series Door Stations?
A: YES, the C-ML/A Master
station will work with any LE-Series Door Station. (Leave jumper between E
& - attached.)
Q: Is the Chime-Com compatible
with the IE-Series Door Stations?
A: NO.
Q: How many room stations
can be added to a Chime-Com System?
A: The Chime-Com and
Chime-Com 2 are designed for up to two inside stations. With the C-ML/A, one DAK-2S Dual
Master Adapter is required per system (2 masters). Each master station will require its own separate
power supply (SKK-620 or 4 "C" batteries). A total of 3 - 4 masters
may be used if they remain within the recommended distances for the system
(245' on 22AWG, shielded wire. 590' on 18AWG, shielded wire).
(NOTE: CCS-1A does not need the adapter kit, but is limited to two inside
stations.)
Q: How many door stations
can be added to the Chime-Com System?
A: Only one door station
should be used with the Chime-Com System. However, if a second door station
is needed on an existing system, an LE-D can be added (jumper in),
but both door stations will be
activated at the same time. Volume to the outside areas will be reduced,
and whatever sound is heard at each door location will be heard at
the master. The communication from
the master will be heard at both door stations simultaneously.
Q: What Power Supply is
used for the Chime-Com?
A: The Chime-Com
(C-123L/A) uses the SKK-620, 6V DC, 85mA Power Supply. Two SKK-620's are
required for the C-123LW, one per master.
Q: What Power Supply is
used for the Chime-Com 2?
A: The Chime-Com 2
(CCS-1A) uses the PT-1210N, 12V AC, 830mA Power Supply.
Q: Does the Chime-Com
2 have Door Release capability?
A: NO. Only the Chime-Com
has the door release feature.
Q: Can either of the Chime-Com
Systems be used with the MY Video Cameras?
A: NO.
Q: Can the Chime-Com System
connect to an External Signaling Device?
A: YES, using the RY-AC and a
separate 12V DC power supply. See the Systems Modification Manual for connection
information.

NEM System
Q: Is the NEM System compatible
with the LE-Series Door Stations?
A: With modification, the LE-Series
Door Stations can be used with the NEM System. The PC-359B call holding
circuit board must be added, which requires solder connections. Otherwise,
use the NE-DA or NE-JA door
stations (SOP).
Q: Can
the NEM System be connected to an external signaling device?
A: YES, it may be
connected to an IER-2 call extension speaker, or a separate external device
using the TAR-3 External Signaling Device Relay and an SKK-620, 6V
DC 200mA power supply.
Q: How many stations can
be added to an NEM System?
A: The NEM System may
include up to two add-on selectors for a maximum capacity of 120 stations.
(If more stations are added, All Call will not function properly.)
Q: Is there a handset
substation for the NEM System?
A: The
NA-T/A handset is designed for the NEM System. It can be used in conjunction
with an open voice sub station,
giving the option of either open voice or handset communication at that
location.
Q: What Power Supply is used
for the NEM System?
A: The PS-2410A, 24V DC, 1A power
supply is used for NEM Systems of 20 or less stations. The PS-2420UL, 24V
DC, 2A power supply is used for NEM Systems with 21 - 40 stations.
Add-on selectors require their own separate
power supply, following the same rules as above.
