Simplified multi-tenant calling.
Visitors find the name, press once and the door phone calls the right flat, office or department — ideal for small apartment blocks, medical suites and shared offices.

Buttons
12 names, backlit for night.
Each of the 12 mechanical buttons has its own name tag and backlight, so names stay readable after dark. A press speed-dials the number set in the door phone.
The aluminium alloy front is IP65 and rated −30 °C to +60 °C — the same outdoor standard as the R20 door phones it extends.
Expand
Add modules as the building grows.
The module has two RS485 ports, and Akuvox designs MD06 and MD12 to be combined for larger buildings.
185 × 85 × 24 mm, the same footprint as the R20K and R20B. Flush-mount the door phone and modules side by side in a two- or three-module in-wall box.
