Music Intercom Features Explained

A. Music/Intercom Speaker Capacity

The number of rooms you can have intercom communications and play music in depends on the number of intercom speakers you can put on the system.

B. Door Speaker Capacity

All NuTone music/intercom and intercom systems can handle three doors except the IMA-516 which can handle up to two door speakers.

C.Number of Room Selector Switches

Room selector switches allow you to choose what is sent to each room speaker. The room switch can be set to one of four settings:

1.Radio Intercom

2.Intercom Only

3.Monitor

4.Off

Why would you have a speaker switch set to any- thing other than the first - Radio Intercom? Well, if you’re an early riser, you may want to set the bedrooms to Intercom Only. That way you can play music and not disturb your sleeping children or spouse. The Monitor setting allows you to monitor rooms and broadcast the sound from the monitored room through the rest of the intercom speakers inside and out. Off setting turns off all intercom, music, and chime sounds to the room.

The IM-4406 and IM-3303 systems have these four switch options. The IM-3204 has Radio Intercom, Off and Monitor. Monitor, intercom, and music control features for the IMA-516 and IM-5000 are located directly on the room speakers.

F.Monitors Room Speaker

On radio/intercom units, position room selector switch at the master to Monitor to instantly check on a room. On the IMA-516 and IM-5000, press the “TALK LOCK/MONITOR” button on the room speaker.

G. Selective Call

Selective intercom calling is available on the IM- 5000. To make a selective call, first enter the two- digit room number corresponding to the room you wish to call. After the second digit is pressed, a call tone is heard at both stations to indicate a call is being made and intercom audio from the called station is heard. To talk to the selected room, sim- ply press the “TALK” button. To hear the reply, simply release the “TALK” button.

H. Room to Rooms (All Call) Intercom

Press a button in any room to speak to the other rooms. Most NuTone intercom systems are “all room” intercom systems. This means that when you press the talk button you speak to all rooms that have intercom speakers. Our IM-5000 is both an “all call” and “selective call” system. With this system, you can specifically call one room from another. A selective call intercom system is well suited to business installations like dentist or doctor’s offices or other small businesses. One advantage to an “all room” system is that often when calling an individual, particularly children, they may have moved from one room to another. With a NuTone “all call” intercom you’ll immedi- ately be able to communicate with the individual.

D. Music Muting during Intercom or Chime

During intercom, the music is muted allowing for clear voice communication. The music is also muted when the chime button is pushed.

E. Constant-On 24 hour Intercom

The intercom is always on. You can use the intercom function at a moment’s notice.
