The Kantech Telephone Entry System (KTES) is a telephone entry system that is suited for small and large applications with a separate access control system, or in applications that require telephone entry access only. This system provides visitor access control for a variety of applications: apartment buildings, gated communities, condominiums, office buildings, factories, and industrial sites. Visitors use the KTES to communicate directly with a tenant and are easily identified by voice communication. The tenant can grant or deny the visitor access directly from a telephone land line or a cellular phone. Designed as a stand‐alone unit, the system controls one door, auxiliary relay, and supports postal lock access. For larger commercial installations, the KTES integrates with EntraPass Web through a Multi‐site Gateway and KT‐controllers to provide a complete access control solution. The entire programming of the system can be done directly on the keypad or remotely from a PC via EntraPass Web. The system reports all events directly to EntraPass, where you can obtain a detailed event log. Additionally, programmed alarms can be reported to a pager and/or to the EntraPass system via an integrated modem. For more information on the KTES, please refer to the KTES Installation Manual, DN1769 and the KTES Programming Manual, DN1770.
