SES TEC1A Deluxe Telephone Entry System Details
The SES T1A2L50DLX is a Select Engineered Systems TEC1A Deluxe telephone entry system with a 2-line LCD directory display and 50 phone capacity. It is designed for controlled entry applications where visitors call authorized users from the entry panel, and access can be released through the system when properly connected to a compatible gate operator, door strike, magnetic lock, or access-control device.
This Deluxe configuration includes the feature package commonly listed with modem, clock/calendar, serial interface, and MUI multi-user interface. That makes it different from the Basic version, which does not include the same Deluxe communication package. The T1A2L50DLX is a practical choice for smaller access-control sites that need a 2-line TEC1A display and low directory capacity, but also need the additional communication options found in the Deluxe model family.
This unit is commonly used for private gated entries, small communities, commercial buildings, tenant entry points, parking areas, office entrances, and other secured access locations. The 2-line LCD display is intended for directory-style visitor calling and is readable in typical outdoor entry conditions when properly installed.

Not Intended For
- Sites that require the 4-line TEC1A display version unless the correct T1A4L model is ordered.
- Sites that require 125, 250, 500, or 1000 phone capacity unless the correct higher-capacity TEC1A model is ordered.
- Sites that only need the Basic feature package unless the correct BSK model is preferred.
- Sites that require Premium features such as NIC/Ethernet and 2-reader board unless the correct PRM model is ordered.
- Sites requiring a cellular-equipped Premium model unless the correct PRMCL model is ordered.
- Direct replacement of older SES TEC1, TEC1C, TEC1CA, TEC2, CAT, or other SES systems without confirming wiring, mounting, programming, options, and required features.
- Applications requiring a monitored UL325 safety device. This is an access-control / telephone entry system, not a monitored gate safety sensor.
Important Ordering Warnings
- Confirm the exact SES part number before ordering. T1A2L50DLX identifies a TEC1A, 2-line LCD, 50-capacity, Deluxe model.
- Do not confuse this model with T1A2L50BSK, T1A2L50PRM, T1A2L50PRMCL, T1A4L50DLX, or other similar TEC1A part numbers.
- Verify whether the site needs Basic, Deluxe, Premium, or cellular-equipped features. Deluxe models include more communication features than Basic models, but they are not the same as Premium models.
- Confirm the required mounting method. Weather hoods, semi-flush rings, sleeves, pedestals, adapters, and mounting plates may be separate accessories depending on the installation.
- Confirm the available power source, telephone line setup, relay wiring, access-control wiring, modem requirements, serial connection, and MUI requirements before installation.

Technician Note
Match this unit by the full SES model number and feature package. T1A2L50DLX identifies the TEC1A series, 2-line LCD display, 50 phone capacity, and Deluxe feature package. Similar TEC1A units may look alike from the front, but can differ by display type, capacity, modem support, serial support, MUI support, NIC/Ethernet capability, reader board support, cellular configuration, and included option boards.
Do not treat the Basic, Deluxe, Premium, and Premium Cellular versions as interchangeable without checking the job requirements. A site that depends on modem, serial, or MUI functionality may not be served correctly by a Basic model. A site that requires Ethernet/NIC or 2-reader board features may need a Premium configuration instead of Deluxe.
Before Ordering, Confirm
- The existing or required part number is T1A2L50DLX.
- The site needs a TEC1A 2-line LCD display, not a 4-line display.
- The required capacity is 50 phone entries.

- The site does not require Premium NIC/Ethernet or 2-reader board features.
- The site does not require a cellular-equipped Premium model.
- The mounting style matches the installation location.
- The required weather hood, pedestal, mounting plate, sleeve, or semi-flush hardware is included or ordered separately if needed.
- The available power source matches the unit requirements.
- The telephone line, modem, serial, and MUI requirements have been verified.
- The relay outputs match the gate operator, door strike, magnetic lock, or access-control interface being controlled.
- Any card reader, software, camera, cellular, or multi-unit interface requirements have been verified before installation.
- The automatic gate system has proper monitored safety devices where required.
Professional Advisory
Telephone entry systems connect to access-control wiring, relay circuits, power, phone lines, communication interfaces, and sometimes card reader or software programming equipment. Improper wiring or incorrect configuration can damage the entry system, gate operator, lock hardware, or related access-control equipment. If the existing wiring, voltage, relay circuit, phone line, modem setup, serial wiring, MUI wiring, or programming requirements are uncertain, installation and replacement should be handled by a qualified gate or access-control technician.
This product is an access-control telephone entry system. It does not replace required monitored gate safety devices, photo eyes, edge sensors, entrapment protection, or other safety equipment required for an automatic gate system.
