TekTone’s quality system is registered by DQS to the ISO 9001 standard. (Reference #10001510.)
Application
The Tek-ENTRY®Apartment Entry Intercoms provide
two-way communications between the building entrance
and each suite. Hands-free loudspeaker operation at
the entrance/lobby panel and push button controlled
communication at the suite/apartment locations provide
for easy operation. Controlled door entry is permitted by
push button operation at the suite in conjunction with
electric door release.
Optional equipment is available to provide additional
additional entrance panels, strobe light call indication
(LI404B) and auxiliary relay (RY014B) for ancillary device
operation (bells, lights, etc.).
Procedure
1. Read installation instructions to determine equipment
location and installation methods.
2. Install housings (or back boxes) and wiring.
3. Check wiring, connect and install equipment.
4. Apply power and check operation.
Equipment Location
Suite/Apartment Stations
Locate suite stations (also known as remote stations)
where convenient for use. Install a housing or back box
at the desired location.
Entrance/Lobby Panel
Use an OH190 series housing and OF190 series frame
surface mounting. Locate the entrance panel where it
is sheltered from weather.

Connections
Before connecting to unit and applying power, verify that
wires are free from shorts and grounds. Make connections
as per Figure 1 on page 4.
1. Do not apply power to the transformer primary until
the entire system has been installed and checked for
shorts and grounds. The common wires connecting to
terminals 1, 2, 3, E and 5 must show open circuit when
tested with an ohmmeter.
2. Use twisted pair wiring as shown. Do not interchange
wires or reverse polarity.

because the entrance panel is not large enough to house

5. Donotrun wiringforstationcommonwiresandentrance
panel speaker in the same cable and/or conduit. This
will cause feedback on the system.
6. Door release wiring should be run separate from
entrance panel speaker wiring.

and set J1 shunt to 2–3.
The Entrance Tone setting, when active, will generate a user
feedback tone at the entrance panel when users press call
buttons. If the warble tone is in use and the entrance tone
feature is active, the tone will also be heard through the
entrance panel speaker when the call button is pressed.
The Door Hold Time Out setting, when active, will allow the
door control device (doorstrike, maglock, etc.) to time out
normally, despite the door button being held at the suite.
Safety Tip: The Talk Interlock setting, when active, will
require that the talk button (at the suite) is pressed before
the door button will activate the door control device.
Optional Accessories
Install optional accessories according to the instructions
provided.
Finish & Test Installation
2. Connect power to transformer primary (120 VAC), and
ensure that local electrical codes have been complied
with.
3. At the entrance panel, push each button and verify that
the correct suite is called.
4. At each suite, push the talk and listen buttons to com-
municate with a person at the entrance panel. Then
push the door

Excessive Hum or Distortion
Check whether wiring is installed too close to electrical

Radio Interference
Note: This connection is not shown on the wiring
diagram, since the situation is not always improved
by adding it. If the problem persists, consult the factory
or service representative.

Signal Flow and Theory of Operation
for PK543A Amplier and
Apartment Intercom System
The following example describes an apartment intercom
system using a PK543A in conjunction with a 4-wire suite
station. Refer also to Figure 5 on page 8.
Call Button
Pressing a suite station call button on the entrance panel
PK543A to the X terminal (tone in) on the associated
suite station. This signal then passes through the
speaker and returns to the PK543A via the 1 terminal
(audio common). If the warble tone is in use and the
entrance tone feature is active, the tone will also be
heard through the entrance panel speaker when the
call button is pressed.
Talk Button
Pressing the talk button at a suite station connects
the suite station’s internal speaker to terminals 1 and
2 of the PK543A, which serves as an audio input to
panel’s speaker (speaker mode).
Listen Button
Pressing the listen button at a suite station connects
the suite station’s internal speaker to terminals 1 and
3 of the PK543A, which serves as an audio output from
(microphone mode).
Door Button
Pressing the door button at a suite station creates a
closure between terminals 2 and 3 on the PK543A.
on PK543A settings). This state is also triggered by
shorting terminals 1 and E as is typically done by a
postal lock.

LED Power Calculations for Door Switch:
Each apartment station with a door indicator LED will draw 17m
A
when the door switch closes (caused by the actual building
door being opened). The PK543A can supply a maximum of
20 apartment stations. If an external power supply is used then
the overall number of apartment stations can be multiplied by
17mA (milliamps) to determine power supply load and switch
maximum current rating.
