Bell System CS106-3 3-Way Coded Door Entry Kit Surface

Combined 3-Way Audio Door Entry & Coded Access System with Surface Lock Release

The Bell System CS106-3 3-Way Coded Door Entry Kit combines a traditional audio door entry system with standalone keypad-controlled access, providing a practical entrance security solution for properties requiring communication with three separate users or internal telephone positions.

Designed as the 3-way version of the Bell System CS106 series, the system allows visitors at the entrance to call the required property or user and communicate with them using the supplied Bell 801 door entry telephones. The occupant can then operate the electric lock release from inside to grant access.

For residents, staff and other authorised users, the integrated C106 coded access keypad provides convenient keyless entry. The keypad can be programmed with up to 10 unique access codes, and entering a valid code operates the lock release for a preset duration.

Clear green and red LED indicators provide immediate feedback at the keypad. The green LED indicates that the lock release is operating, while the red LED indicates an invalid entry.

Supplied as a complete system with three 801 telephones, an aluminium entrance panel with coded keypad, model 61 speech unit, PS4A 12V 4A DC power supply and model 203 surface lock release, the CS106-3 is ideal for small multi-occupancy residential and commercial applications where a straightforward level of door-entry security is required.

3-Way Door Entry System

The CS106-3 is configured as a 3-way system, making it suitable for an entrance serving three individual users, properties or internal telephone positions.

The external panel provides the visitor calling point, while each internal position is equipped with a Bell System 801 telephone.

This arrangement makes the CS106-3 particularly useful for small converted properties, three-unit buildings and commercial premises where a common entrance serves three separate users.

Combined Door Entry & Coded Access

Rather than requiring separate systems for visitors and regular users, the CS106-3 combines audio door entry and keypad access control.

Visitors can call the appropriate occupant from the external entrance panel. The occupant can communicate with the visitor using their internal handset before deciding whether to release the door.

Authorised residents or staff can instead enter a valid code directly on the keypad, providing convenient access without first calling one of the internal telephones.

Three Bell 801 Door Entry Telephones

The CS106-3 configuration includes three Bell System model 801 telephones.

Each handset provides an internal audio point for communication with visitors at the entrance.

This allows three separate users or locations to be connected to the common entrance system, with occupants able to identify visitors through voice communication before granting access.

Aluminium Entrance Panel with Keypad

The system incorporates a CP106-series aluminium door panel with integrated keypad module.

Combining the call facilities and coded access keypad into one entrance panel provides a neat and professional solution while avoiding the need to install a completely separate access-control keypad beside the door-entry panel.

The aluminium construction provides a durable and smart appearance suitable for a wide variety of entrances.

Up to 10 Unique Access Codes

The C106 coded keypad can store up to 10 unique user access codes.

This gives installers and property managers flexibility when providing access to multiple authorised users.

Codes can potentially be allocated to different residents, members of staff or other approved users, depending on the requirements of the installation.

This is particularly useful in a three-user property because the keypad is not restricted to just three codes.

Keyless Entry for Authorised Users

The keypad gives authorised users a convenient method of entering the property without relying solely on a physical key.

When a valid code is entered, the system operates the electric lock release for the programmed period.

This makes the CS106-3 useful where residents or employees require regular access through a shared entrance.

Programmable Lock Release Duration

The lock release operates for a preset programmable duration following successful code entry.

This provides sufficient time for an authorised user to open the door while ensuring the entrance is not left permanently released.

The system can therefore be configured according to the practical requirements of the particular doorway.

Red & Green LED Status Indicators

The C106 keypad incorporates simple visual indication to make operation straightforward.

The green LED illuminates to indicate that the lock release is operating, providing confirmation that the entered code has been accepted.

The red LED indicates an invalid entry, immediately informing the user when an incorrect code has been entered.

Bell 61 Speech Unit

The system includes a Bell System model 61 speech unit, forming part of the audio communication arrangement between the external entrance panel and internal telephones.

This allows visitors and occupants to communicate before access is granted, providing the essential speech functionality expected from an audio door-entry installation.

PS4A 12V 4A DC Power Supply

A Bell System PS4A 12V 4A DC power supply is included with the system.

The power supply provides the low-voltage DC power required for the compatible door-entry and access-control equipment.

Bell 203 Surface Lock Release Included

The CS106-3 is supplied with a Bell System model 203 surface lock release.

The electric release enables the entrance door to be unlocked either following an authorised keypad entry or when access is granted from an internal telephone.

The inclusion of the surface release makes this kit particularly convenient for entrances suited to this style of locking arrangement.

Visitor-Controlled Entry

For visitors, the CS106-3 operates as a conventional audio door-entry system.

A caller selects the appropriate call position at the entrance and contacts the occupant.

The occupant can then speak with the visitor before choosing whether to grant access.

This provides a straightforward method of controlling visitor entry to a small multi-user building.

Coded Entry for Residents & Staff

Regular authorised users do not need to use the visitor calling function.

Instead, they can enter their programmed access code at the entrance keypad and operate the lock release directly.

This combination makes the system convenient for both visitors and everyday building users.

Standalone Coded Access

The coded-access element of the CS106 system is designed as a standalone access-control solution.

It provides straightforward local keypad access without requiring a more complex networked access-control platform.

The CS106 series is intended for installations where a basic level of security is considered adequate, making it particularly suitable for straightforward residential and light-commercial applications.

Ideal for Small Multi-Occupancy Properties

The three-way configuration makes the CS106-3 particularly useful for properties containing three separate occupants or units.

Typical examples can include:

• Three-Flat Conversions
• Small Apartment Buildings
• Three-Unit Residential Properties
• Shared Residential Entrances
• Small Multi-Occupancy Buildings
• Mixed Residential & Commercial Premises

Each user benefits from an individual internal telephone while sharing the common entrance and coded-access facility.

Suitable for Small Commercial Premises

The CS106-3 can also be used where a common entrance needs to communicate with three internal areas or users within a commercial property.

Potential applications include small office buildings, workshops and other light-commercial premises.

The coded keypad can provide regular staff with convenient access while visitors continue to use the door-entry calling system.

Complete Door Entry Kit

The CS106-3 brings together the principal components required for a three-way coded door-entry installation.
