Bell System CS106-6 6-Way Coded Door Entry Kit Surface

Combined 6-Way Audio Door Entry & Coded Access System with Surface Lock Release

The Bell System CS106-6 6-Way Coded Door Entry Kit combines traditional audio door entry with standalone coded access, providing a practical entrance-control solution for properties requiring communication with six separate users or internal telephone positions.

Designed as the 6-way version of the Bell System CS106 series, the system enables visitors to call the required property or user from the external entrance panel. Occupants can communicate with visitors through their Bell System 801 door entry telephones before operating the electric lock release 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, allowing multiple authorised users to access the building without relying solely on physical keys.

When a valid code is entered, the lock release operates for a preset duration. The keypad incorporates green and red LED indicators, with green indicating that the lock release is operating and red indicating an invalid entry.

Supplied with six Bell System 801 telephones, a CP106-series aluminium entrance panel with keypad, model 61 speech unit, PS4A 12V 4A DC power supply and model 203 surface lock release, the CS106-6 provides the principal components required for a professional six-way coded door-entry installation.

6-Way Door Entry System

The CS106-6 is configured as a six-way system, making it suitable for a common entrance serving six separate properties, occupants or internal telephone positions.

Visitors use the entrance panel to call the appropriate occupant. The occupant can then speak with the visitor using their internal Bell 801 handset before deciding whether to unlock the entrance.

This makes the CS106-6 particularly suitable for six-flat conversions, small apartment buildings, shared residential entrances and suitable multi-user commercial premises.

Combined Door Entry & Coded Access

The CS106-6 brings together visitor communication and keypad-controlled entry in one system.

Visitors use the door-entry panel to call an occupant and establish two-way audio communication before access is granted.

Regular authorised users can bypass the visitor-call process by entering their programmed access code directly into the keypad.

This combination provides a convenient solution for entrances where both visitor-controlled access and everyday keyless entry are required.

Six Bell System 801 Telephones

The six-way configuration provides six Bell System model 801 telephones for installation at the internal user positions.

Each telephone provides an audio communication point between the occupant and the external entrance panel.

When a visitor calls, the appropriate occupant can communicate with them before using the telephone's door-release facility to grant entry.

This makes the kit particularly convenient for a building containing six individual flats or other separate internal users.

Aluminium Entrance Panel with Coded Keypad

The CS106-6 uses a CP106-series aluminium entrance panel incorporating the coded keypad module.

Integrating the keypad with the visitor calling facilities provides a neat and professional entrance arrangement while avoiding the need to install a completely separate coded-access keypad.

The aluminium construction also provides a smart appearance suitable for residential and commercial entrance installations.

Up to 10 Unique Access Codes

The C106 keypad supports up to 10 unique user access codes.

Although the door-entry system serves six internal positions, the keypad is not limited to six codes.

Additional codes can therefore be allocated to other authorised users where required, providing useful flexibility for residents, staff, building managers or other approved users.

Convenient Keyless Access

Residents and other regular building users can gain entry by entering their programmed code.

When the keypad recognises a valid code, it operates the electric lock release for the preset period.

This provides convenient keyless access while retaining the conventional audio door-entry system for visitors and callers who do not have an authorised code.

Programmable Lock Release Duration

The C106 keypad provides a programmable lock-release duration.

Following successful entry of an authorised code, the release operates for the preset period, allowing sufficient time for the user to open the entrance door.

This provides controlled operation without leaving the entrance permanently unlocked.

Red & Green LED Status Indicators

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

The green LED indicates that the lock release is operating, confirming that the code has been accepted.

The red LED indicates an invalid entry, providing immediate feedback when an incorrect code has been entered.

Bell System Model 61 Speech Unit

The system includes a Bell System model 61 speech unit as part of the audio door-entry arrangement.

The speech unit enables communication between the external entrance panel and the internal 801 telephones, allowing occupants to establish who is calling before granting access.

PS4A 12V 4A DC Power Supply

The kit includes a Bell System PS4A 12V 4A DC power supply.

This provides the low-voltage power required by the compatible components within the system.

Bell 203 Surface Lock Release

A Bell System model 203 surface lock release is supplied with the CS106-6.

This electrically operated release enables the entrance door to be unlocked either from an internal telephone or following successful entry of an authorised keypad code.

The included surface release makes the kit particularly suitable for doors where this type of locking arrangement is appropriate.

Controlled Visitor Entry

Visitors arriving at the building use the entrance panel to call the required occupant.

The occupant can then speak with the caller from inside before deciding whether access should be granted.

This provides a straightforward method of controlling visitor entry without requiring the occupant to physically attend the main entrance.

Coded Entry for Residents & Staff

Residents, employees and other authorised users can enter the building directly through the keypad.

This can reduce dependence on physical keys and provides a convenient method of everyday entry through a shared entrance.

With up to 10 programmable access codes, the system provides useful flexibility for a range of authorised users.

Standalone Coded Access

The coded-access element of the CS106 series operates as a standalone system.

It provides straightforward local keypad access without requiring a larger networked or centrally managed access-control platform.

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

Ideal for Six-Flat Conversions

The CS106-6 is particularly suitable for a converted property containing six individual flats sharing one main entrance.

Each flat can be provided with its own Bell 801 telephone, enabling visitors to call the appropriate resident directly.

Residents can use the integrated keypad for regular access, while visitors continue to use the conventional call, speech and door-release arrangement.

Suitable for Small Apartment Buildings

The six-way configuration is also suitable for purpose-built apartment buildings and other small multi-occupancy developments with six internal user positions.

Its combination of individual visitor calling, audio communication and shared coded access provides the core functionality required for a straightforward communal entrance system.

Suitable for Light Commercial Applications

The CS106-6 can also be used in suitable commercial properties where one entrance serves several separate users, offices or departments.

Staff can use keypad codes for everyday access, while visitors can contact the relevant internal position through the external door-entry panel.
