quote that will
be given during booking by mail or text message. In absence of above (text or

flats that were reported to me when I issued maximum cost.

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) |

|
Vandal
Resistant push button |

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 |

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.
