A discreet call for support from an exhibition room, with nothing mounted in the rooms
Key fobs assigned to rooms, a receiver showing room names at the security desk, pagers for staff on patrol and a repeater upstairs — in a historic building, with nothing mounted on the walls of the rooms.

01 / Investment context
What problem does this configuration solve?
The museum is housed in a historic building: 14 exhibition rooms on two floors, a ticket desk at the entrance and a security desk. Attendants work in the rooms, and two security staff patrol the building.
A room attendant sometimes needs support: a visitor feels unwell, a group behaves inappropriately, someone touches the exhibits. The attendant should not raise their voice or leave the room unattended, and a phone is not always to hand. Security must know at once which room to go to.
At the same time, the installation must not interfere with the historic interiors: chasing, cables and boxes on the room walls are out of the question, and thick walls and floors weaken the radio signal between floors.
The investor’s goal: The attendant calls for support from the room with one movement, security knows which room it is, and nothing is mounted on the exhibition walls.
How does this configuration work?
Each room has its own key fob with a single key under a sliding cover (PUK-151) that prevents accidental presses. The fob belongs to the room, not to a person: the attendant takes it over together with the room at the start of the shift. At the ticket desk there is a button under the counter (PNP-202).
At the security desk an identification receiver with text labels (IDO-1000U/E) shows the transmitter’s label, for example “Room 7 — call”, and the two staff on patrol receive the call with the room number on pagers (OBI-4SH) in which each room is a separate zone. The labels are entered from a computer via the receiver’s USB port.
The thick walls and floor of the historic building shorten the fobs’ range, so a repeater (RTS-1000) powered by the system’s power supply (SPR-ZS1) works in a staff room on the upper floor. It passes on only the signals of the transmitters programmed into it, so calls from the upstairs rooms reach the security desk on the ground floor and the pagers of the staff on patrol. Its position is set by a range test.
02 / Operating principle
From signal to action.
The attendant calls security with a key fob assigned to the room, and the security desk and the patrol know which room.

Security Security desk and patrol Receiver + Pagers“Room 7 — call” on the receiver and the room number on the patrol’s pagers.
Security knows which room to go to. The fob belongs to the room, not to a person; the receiver and repeater sit in staff rooms, not on the walls of the rooms.

Devices in this configuration
An example selection — the number of devices depends on the site.
PNP-202
Button under the ticket-desk counter: the cashier calls security with a hand movement visitors cannot see.
Quantity: 1
IDO-1000U/E
Receiver at the security desk: instead of a number it shows a label, e.g. “Room 7 — call”. Labels are set from a computer via USB.
Quantity: 1
OBI-4SH
Pager for a security staff member on patrol: the call with the room number reaches them wherever they are. Charged by USB or wirelessly (Qi).
Quantity: 2
RTS-1000
Repeater in a staff room on the upper floor: passes the signals of the fobs in the upstairs rooms on to the security desk and the pagers.
Quantity: 1
SPR-ZS1
Mains power supply, 230 V AC, next to the repeater, which runs on 12 V DC; mounted in the staff room, not in an exhibition room.
Quantity: 1
Catalogue figures describe a device under stated conditions, usually in open terrain, and are not a guaranteed range in every installation. Device quantities in the examples are indicative.
04 / Value for the investor
What does this solution give you?
Historic interiors untouched
Nothing is mounted in the rooms — the key fob sends the call, and the receiver and repeater sit in staff rooms.
Security knows which room
The label at the security desk and the number on the pager lead straight to the room, without searching both floors.
The room is never left unattended
The attendant calls for support without raising their voice or leaving, so visitors are not disturbed and the exhibition stays under watch.
05 / Before installation
What needs to be settled for a similar investment?
Before devices are chosen, what matters is the site’s conditions and how the system ties into the final installation.
Requirements to verify
- This is a channel for calling staff, not a collection security system or a way of alerting the police — it does not replace the museum’s alarm installation.
- A range test from the farthest rooms on both floors determines where the repeater goes; a larger building may need a second one.
- The positions of the receiver, repeater and power supply agreed with the building manager and the conservation officer — apart from the button under the ticket-desk counter, they are the only fixed elements.
- Handing over the fobs when room staffing changes, and regular battery checks — the fob belongs to the room, not to the person.
- The response procedure: who from the security desk and who from the patrol goes to the room, and who stays put.
