1.1 TX3 Systems
The Mircom's TX3 series of telephone access systems provide high quality two-
way communication between residents and their visitors in a multi-unit dwelling
establishment.
The basic TX3 system consists of the TX3 Entry Panel and depending on the
application, may be integrated with a combination of Mircom Elevator
Restriction Units and Card Access Units. All access systems may be networked
together using an RS-485 connection.
The TX3 system is capable of providing ADC or NSL telephone access from a
single panel or from a networked system. The TX3 system also may consist of
one or more access systems networked together using an RS-485 connection.
The access system can be configured as an autodialer controller (ADC) or as a no
subscriber line (NSL) system. Both system setups can be configured for multiple
entrances with independent doors and control devices such as electric door locks,
cameras, and garage doors.
1.1.1 ADC and NSL Capability
A single TX3 Entry Panel supports full ADC and NSL telephone connectivity.
An ADC connection requires a dedicated subscriber telephone line service
connected to an outside telephone line. This mode lets the visitor call the tenant
and access their voice mail.
An NSL connection uses the existing building telephone lines for
communication and does not require a separate telephone line. This system may
consist of one or more entry panels connected to TX3-NSL-8M NSL Units,
typically located in the electrical/telephone room of a building. The NSL units
intercept all telephone lines into the building’s suites if the lines are not in use.
This mode lets the visitor call the tenant and access their voice mail and call
waiting.
1.1.2 Elevator Restriction Units
The TX3-ER-8 Elevator Restriction Unit limits building accessibility by
granting visitor access only to the destination floor.
1.2 Features
Features of the TX3 series include:
• Stainless steel front panel
• Universal Series enclosure with a built-in rain hood
• Large scrolling 8 x 20 LCD display that eliminates the need for an external
directory
