ISK3 Door Station Instruction Manual
Product Overview
The ISK3 Door Station is a flush-mounted weatherproof call station for the ComPoint™ intercom system. It features an amber-backlighted Call key and a solid metal cover plate available in three finish options.
The Door Station includes an internal microphone with automatic gain control along with a built-in amplifier and speaker for reliable, high-quality two-way communication with ComPoint keypads inside the house.
The device fits a single-gang deep wall box and features doorbell contacts and an installer-adjustable control for the speaker volume level.
The ISK3 is environmentally tested for resistance to salt water spray and ultraviolet light.

1 MICROPHONE AND SPEAKER – Support two-way communication with interior keypads
2 CALL KEY – Rings doorbell and initiates communication
3 WEATHERPROOF COVER PLATE – Protects internal circuits and components

1 POTENTIOMETER – Adjusts speaker volume
2 110 PUNCH-DOWN BLOCK - For CAT-5 connection
3 SCREW TERMINALS – For external doorbell connection
4 WEATHERPROOF GASKET – Seals out moisture
Installation and Trim
The ISK3 Door Station installs in a standard single-gang US electrical deep plastic wall box with an internal volume of at least 22 cubic inches (360 cm ^3 ). With its own gasketed weather-resistant front plate, it needs no other protection.
Wiring
ComPoint system components interconnect with CAT-5 cable. Run CAT-5 from the hub location to each door station location. If you are installing optional ISDR1 Door Strike Release Modules, loop the door station cables through the module locations.
To use a separate doorbell system instead of the doorbell built into the ComPoint system, run 2-conductor cable from each door station to the doorbell system.
When running CAT-5 and control cables, avoid running them near AC power wiring as much as possible. If you have to run the cables parallel to electrical wiring, space the cables at least two feet (0.6 m) from the AC power lines.
Connections
The door station provides a 110 punch-down connector for the CAT-5 cable. Use a punch-down tool to connect the wires according to the connector color code as shown below.

CAT-5 connection
To connect a separate doorbell system, connect the 2-conductor cable to the doorbell terminals on the back of the door station as shown in the example below. The terminals provide access to normally open switch contacts that close for a minimum of 4 seconds when the Call key is pressed. Connect the cable from the ISK3 to the doorbell according to the doorbell system instructions.
Speaker Volume Adjustment
Use the potentiometer to adjust the speaker volume. Turn it clockwise to raise the volume or counterclockwise to lower it. This does not affect the microphone sensitivity.
Operation
Press and release the Call key to ring the doorbell. When a person inside replies from a keypad, you will hear a single beep when they begin the reply and again when they're done speaking. You then can answer the reply within 7 seconds by just speaking. At the end of the 7 seconds, you will hear a double beep, after which you can no longer answer the reply.
Note: Pressing and releasing the Call key always rings the doorbell. To answer a reply, just speak without pressing the Call key.
You will hear a buzz tone from the door station when the person inside activates the door strike release.
