A guest in a cabin calls the reception, and the reception knows which cabin

Sealed LX buttons in the cabins, an identification receiver at the reception and a pager for the person on duty — a call across wooded grounds, up to 800 m, with no cables and no hunting for a phone number.

01 / Investment context

What problem does this configuration solve?

The resort has 14 cabins spread over wooded grounds, the farthest about 800 m from the reception. Families, older guests and groups stay in them — people who do not know the grounds and after dark may not easily find their way back to the main building.

At night the reception is closed and one person is on duty on the grounds. A guest who needs help — because someone feels unwell or the heating in the cabin has stopped working — has to find a phone number or walk through the dark resort. And even when the person on duty answers the phone, they have to ask which cabin it is.

Cables to each cabin across ground full of trees and roots would mean earthworks that the resort does not want to carry out during the season.

The investor’s goal: Every cabin has its own button; a call reaches the reception with the cabin number, and at night the duty person’s pager.

How does this configuration work?

In every cabin a sealed LX button with a cancel key (PNX-202) is mounted on the wall by the door. The guest presses the flap and the call is sent — no dialling and no going outside.

At the reception the LX identification receiver (IDX-1001U/E) shows the transmitter’s label, for example “Cabin 08”, and keeps events in its buffer, so a call is not lost when the receptionist steps out. At night the person on duty carries an LX pager (OBI-4LX) and receives the call away from the reception too. The LX link is two-way, and in open terrain the button has a range of about 4 km, so 800 m among trees leaves a wide margin; a range test decides whether the signal gets through reliably, and a range extender (RTX-100BP) covers any weak spot.

The call ends in the cabin: when staff arrive, they cancel it with the button’s top key. The reception does not have to remember which calls have already been dealt with.

02 / Operating principle

From signal to action.

A button in each of the 14 cabins sends a call with the cabin’s number to the reception, and at night to the duty pager.

    The guest presses the flap — no dialling and no leaving the cabin.

  2. 02 / Reception

    Shows the cabin’s label, e.g. “Cabin 08”, and keeps events in its buffer.

  3. 03 / Notification

    OBI-4LX Duty pager

    At night, when the reception is closed, the person on duty gets the call.

Staff go straight to the right cabin. LX radio links cabins up to 800 m from the reception without cables, and the call is cancelled in the cabin with the top key.

04 / Value for the investor

What does this solution give you?

The cabin number at once

The reception sees which cabin the call came from, so staff go straight to the guest, without questions over the phone or searching the grounds.

No cables across the grounds

The buttons connect to the reception by radio, so installation needs no earthworks among the trees and no break in the season.

At night too

When the reception is closed, the call goes to the duty pager, and the guest does not have to find a number or walk through the dark resort.

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

  • Cabins left unheated in winter: the button’s operating temperature range is checked before installation; if winter conditions fall outside it, the button is removed for that period or the cabin is kept heated.
  • A range test from the farthest cabins to the reception, in the season when the trees are in leaf; the range extender depends on its result.
  • The night procedure: who carries the pager, how it is handed over to the next shift, and who stands in when the person on duty cannot come.
  • Cabin numbering and labels in the receiver — so that they match the signs on the grounds.

Example configuration — it needs a technical selection for your site.
