NOTE*****Old NuTone, M&S and other systems can rarely be replaced piece by piece. These manufacturers do not manufacturer replacement parts and the newer systems are not backwards compatible. That means buying a new station to replace just one old or broken station is not usually an option. Also, both manufacturers have stopped making intercom products, any systems you might find for sale would not have technical or warranty support.
Step By Step Approach to Upgrade your Home Intercom System:
***Our System only requires 3 Wires to connect
1. Measure the height and width of the old intercom Master Station
3. Check your Front Doorbell Station, does it have 2 wires or 3 wires? Also, decide on replacing with plastic or metal including Bronze, Brushed Aluminum, etc. You can also have a Smartphone Front Doorbell Station with a Free App!
If it has 2 Wiresat the front door instead of 3 wires you must get the Adaptor *RETRO-DBB(click here, scroll down to read description) The 2 wire front doorbell will only be able to ring through the RETRO system, you will not be able to talk through it
Combination packages have a Master, Master Trim Plate, 4-5 Rooms, Standard Front Door, Patio Station and Bluetooth Adapter. You can add Room Stations, AM/FM Antenna, IREMOTE Control, etc. to the package as needed.
TOTAL: 13 Stations Max (including room stations, patio and front door)
3 Wires from the old intercom system, example: REDfor Positive, Black for Ground,Green for Data Link
