How to Buy

New! N-8000 IP Network Intercom Systems!

TOA VS-900 SECURITY INTERCOM SYSTEMS provides reliable and intelligible voice communication for critical security applications, including corporate security, correctional institutions, educational facilities, hospital access points, and parking structures. For over 35 years, TOA has developed a proven track record of innovative, reliable intercom products, including the groundbreaking EXES and IC-100 systems. The TOA VS-900 system is UL and CUL Listed and manufactured to ISO-9001 standards to ensure continuous operation for extended periods.

Ideal for applications with multiple remote "sub" stations calling in to one or more "master" stations, the VS-900 has a wide range of standard and software programmable features, including comprehensive Call-Forwarding to allow system operators freedom of movement and most importantly, to ensure that no calls go unanswered. The VS-900 integrates easily with access control and video surveillance equipment via a simple RS-232 communications protocol. Other features include telephone system integration, paging and external source distribution, event logging and recording outputs.

The VS-900 scalable architecture allows the most cost effective configuration for each application with easy expansion as the size of the facility grows. Each exchange mainframe supports up to 4 master stations and 64 remote sub-stations. For large systems, exchanges can be expanded or "tie-lined" to provide up to 64 master stations and 1,024 remote sub-stations. The master stations can be either the TOA MS-900 or standard off-the-shelf single line telephones with support for Caller-ID signaling. Remote Sub-stations include Economy, Indoor, Outdoor, and Panic models, each with heavy-duty plate and call switch. Direct select interface cards provide relays, LED drivers and switch inputs for custom consoles and annunciator panels.

The VS-900 Security Intercom System is backed with a two-year warranty.
