The Comelit People PL6701 is a door entry monitor designed for audio and video communication systems in residential, commercial, industrial, and public buildings. This device features a handset for private conversations, a 4.3" 16:9 LCD screen for clear visual communication, and both mechanical side and front buttons for intuitive control. The front buttons include touch guides for sight-impaired users, enhancing accessibility.
Function Description
The monitor offers several core functions accessible via its front buttons, which are factory-programmed but can be customized by an installer.
- Standard Call to Switchboard: This function allows users to send a call to the porter switchboard, facilitating communication with building management or security personnel.
- Generic Actuator: Users can activate a generic actuator (e.g., Comelit art. 1256) or the relay for the external entrance panel. This feature can be used to control various external devices or unlock an external gate.
- Self-Activation: This button provides real-time viewing of images from the outdoor entrance panel camera, allowing users to see who is at the door without answering a call.
- Lock-Release: This essential function activates the door lock, enabling users to grant access remotely.
- Door Opening on Call (Automatic Lock-Release): This advanced feature allows for automatic activation of the lock-release relay upon receiving a call from the external entrance panel. This function must be authorized by the installer via the MyComelit app. When the monitor is in standby, pressing the lock-release button for 5 seconds enables or disables this mode. A confirmation tone plays, and a steadily lit LED indicates that the function is active.
