Door Industry Journal - Summer 2018

Also online at: www.dijonline.co.uk 90 THE door industry journal summer 2018 Automated Gates & Barriers Commtel reveal secrets What is so special about the years of development deeply ingrained in each Telguard and Optimus product?... • Yes, they make top quality intercom calls over almost any telecommunications network and yes, you get to control the gate, door or barrier from afar, or close by.. • Yes, they have coded access, caller I.D. and numerous time zones, all of which can be locally or remotely managed. Product management can be carried out in many ways, from plugging in a PC, via the fascia, to DTMF tones, and texting, to modem link, web page and app, as well as simply asking Commtel for help. • Remote diagnostics and history logs are also features that some owners and maintainers really benefit from having. • Customised SMS messaging from an event and/or alerting a chosen number of recipients can be used to great advantage. • Control of the unit’s control panel allowing volume changes, display data and fascia lighting control may be accessed from some of the units. • Exclusive to Telguard panels is the ability to programme the LCD name displays, instead of using unsightly paper inserts, a feature that is welcomed by architects in particular. • Relay status, default, control and activation can also be managed, all of which may involve any time zone to suit bespoke use. • Common codes and special codes, authorised user levels and common use levels can be set and adjusted, allowing owners to provide temporary use as well as optional notification. The list of what can be done continues to grow, partially assisted by ideas gained from enquirers, all of which are examined for potential, keeping tomorrow’s products ahead of the game.
