Parts and materials (price list for audio analogue systems)
Any items that are not listed here will be charged at retail price + 20%

Part Price Short description


SPEECH PROBLEMS
 

Speech amplifier for
 4 or 5 wire  systems
£55 Most of small systems  (up to 10 flats) are analogue 4 or 5 wire systems.
If all flats in building have speech problems than it is most likely culprit.
 
Speech amplifier for 2 wire systems £150 In systems serving 10 flats or less 2 wire systems are rarity but occasionaly I come across those even in small block of flats.
 
Speaker (external) £15 Most intercoms have speech amplifiers that are modular and need to be replaced as whole unit but sometimes replacing just speaker is possible.
 
Microphone external £10 Again if intercom has speech module it needs to be replaced as a whole but occasionally it is
possible to replace just microphone.
 


RINGER PROBLEMS (HANDSET NOT RINGING)
 

Handset (analogue) £25   Most systems are using 1 button analogue handsets unless there are some special arrangements. Like internal communication or second entrance door.
 
Handset (2 wire)) 60£ Those type of handsets are rarely seen in buildings with 10 flats or less.
 
Push button (on front panel) £10 It is push button on panel situated by front door. (Ringer)
 
Vandal Resistant push button £15 Like above but made of stainless steel or platered brass.
 
Internal buzzing element £5 It is element inside handset that produces buzzing noise when button downstairs is pushed.
 


ELECTRIC LOCK PROBLEMS
 

Standard lock release (buzzer) £35 Standard lock release. Called sometimes buzzer as it produces characteristic buzzing noise when operating.
If lock buzzes but door is not opening than most likely it needs to be replaced.
 
Heavy duty CISA lock £100 Most popular heavy duty lock. easily recognized by big red square push button and "CISA" logo on front plate.
The only element that brakes down in those locks is electric magnet inside ( aka. coil).
Heavy duty ANSI lock £80 Operates similarly to standard buzzer but it is quiet
 
Heavy duty BANAHAM release £400 It is cost of electric release  (not whole lock)
 
electric coil for CISA locks £35 CISA locks extremely rarely require replacement more often it is electro magnet inside it.
 
Single voltage AC Transformer £35 Known also as power supply or  PSU for short.
If  whole  system suddenly goes down than first point of interest is Transformer
 
Dual voltage AC/DC Transformer £55 Some  systems (Videx, Entryphone, BPT, LT Terraneo, Farfisa) are using this type of transformers. AC circuit operates ringers and lock while DC feeds speech circuit.
