What it fits is the whole of the buying decision. Fermax describes the 9641 as a display module of spare parts for inclusion in Marine door entry panels and the MDS Digital System.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn an MDS digital panel it takes its place alongside the 4+N amplifier module and a BUS2, VDS, MDS or DUOX digital keypad module. The module carries a high contrast backlit LCD of two lines at sixteen characters per line, with an adjustable backlight, and it is what a visitor actually reads at the door. Its job is twofold.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt lets a caller search the electronic directory of residents using the panel's browser buttons. It also shows communication status while a call is in progress. A call to a home can be placed in two ways.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKey the code assigned to that home and press the bell key, or find the entry in the electronic directory with the browser buttons and press the bell key.

The screen may have failed, gone dim, been damaged in an attack on the panel, or been water-damaged on an exposed frontage. Replacing the display module keeps the amplifier, the keypad module and the stainless fascia in service.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat is a very different job from replacing a whole entrance panel and reprogramming the system. It is also the part to hold as a spare on estates, student accommodation, seafront and dockside blocks, and other exposed sites. On those sites a panel takes weather or abuse, and a dead display means residents cannot be called at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBefore ordering, confirm two things on the existing panel. It must be a Marine panel rather than another Fermax panel line, and the system must be MDS rather than VDS, BUS2 or DUOX. Fermax publishes separate display modules for those systems and they are not interchangeable.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fermax","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57520828219765,"sku":"9641","price":816.28,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0050\/1216\/0612\/files\/9641.jpg?v=1787595151","url":"https:\/\/wmestore.co.uk\/products\/fermax-display-module-9641","provider":"WME","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
