CFA DOOR PHONE
 MD-4931CFA 
 
 
SPLIT-SYSTEM HANDS-FREE DOOR TELEPHONE 
 
1. INTRODUCTION 
 
The CFA Door Phone, with a line powered inbuilt telephone dialer and hands-free speaker 
phone, automatically connects people at unattended CFA station doors or gates directly to 
Officers on their PABX extension, mobile phone, or any other telephone at manned stations. 
 
This system is made for emergency services agencies that are security conscious and want things 
made simple and easy. The door unit is robust yet slim. 
 
The CFA Door Phone means the end of ‘no answer’ and allows members of the public and 
colleagues to contact you with push button ease from outside when you’re inside or when you’re 
out and about. 
 
The CFA Door Phone is ideally suited for all types of emergency services security and 
communication uses. Easy installation makes for ‘plug and play’ operation. 
 
As standard, the CFA Door Phone has a relay output to control an electric door strike/latch etc.. 
Optionally, the CFA Door Phone can be ordered with alarm inputs to report alarm events, and 
with more outputs to activate CCD cameras so that images can be captured on your personal 
computer. 
 
Things that make this unit unique are its strength, slim style, performance and compatibility with 
any phone system analogue extension. All electronic circuitry is safely tucked away inside in the 
hide-away unit so that replacement of the doorplate is inexpensive, should this ever be 
necessary. 
 
Pride has been taken in the making of this unit, with as much emphasis placed on the electronic 
design as there was with the superb appearance. 
 
 
1.1 OVERVIEW 
 
The CFA Door Phone Model MD-4931CFA looks and sounds similar to a conventional intercom 
plate. When you press the button at the front door, you hear dialing tones coming from the 
doorplate followed by telephone service tones, eg. ringing tone when the inbuilt telephone dialer 
is activated and a call is set up to your pre-programmed telephone number. 
 
When you receive a call from your Door Phone, it is just like any other telephone call. To end 
the call, press *9 for instant disconnect or just hang up. It is that easy!
