Clear-Com IKB-12P HCS Industrial Intercom Station
The IKB-12P is the user station of Clear-Com's HCS industrial intercom: a handset position with twelve buttons for point-to-point and point-to-multipoint call signals, an audible buzzer and visual caller identification. It is built for plants, tunnels, substations and quays, where a headset is impractical and the alerting has to cut through machinery noise.
Stations connect over Ethernet and take power from PoE, with up to 64 endpoints hosted by an HMS-4X main station running HCS firmware. Twenty-eight GPI inputs map to call-signal profiles for interlocks and door contacts, and configuration is done from a browser or the front panel with auto-discovery. Order the IKB-12P for the standard housing, the HRI-12B for the same housing without branding, or the HRI-12M for the narrow chassis.
