Overview
TekTone's IR205E is a surface mount apartment station that connects to TekTone entrance or vandal panels. Three momentary buttons handle talk, listen and door release, each labeled in English, international symbols and Braille.
Hold-to-use buttons and clear labeling keep the operation simple for residents. The limit is that it depends on other TekTone parts and needs a mounting plate or box purchased separately.
