Hands-Free Communication

The entrance station provides hands-free audio communication with the connected tenant station.

Door Release

The DA Series entrance station can provide power directly to compatible electric door-release hardware.

Aiphone specifies:

Door Release: 9.5–20VAC
Minimum Lock Resistance: 70 Ohms
Recommended Strike: EL-12S

This arrangement can reduce the need for an additional door-release transformer or separate strike wiring in compatible installations.

Always confirm the electrical requirements of the locking hardware before installation.

DA Series System Capacity

The Aiphone DA Series is designed as a:

1 Entrance / Up to 4 Tenant System

Compatible tenant stations include:

• DA-1MD – Audio Handset Tenant Station

Choose the entrance station according to the number of tenant stations required:

• 1 Tenant – DA-1DS

• 2 Tenants – DA-2DS

• Up to 4 Tenants – DA-4DS

DB Series Compatibility

The DA-1DS, DA-2DS, and DA-4DS are also used as entrance stations with compatible Aiphone DB Series systems.

DB Series equipment can include:

• DB-1MD – Open-Voice Master Station

• DB-1SD – Sub Master Station

This makes the DA Series entrance stations useful for both handset-based and open-voice Aiphone system configurations.

Recommended Wiring

Aiphone specifies two cable options between the entrance station and tenant station.

Shielded Option

2-Conductor Overall-Shielded Cable

Recommended:

• 82220250C – 22 AWG | 500'

• 82220210C – 22 AWG | 1,000'

22 AWG: Up to 360 ft

Surface-Mount Installation

DA Series entrance stations install directly to a flat wall surface.

Their compact enclosure measures:

14°F to 140°F (-10°C to 60°C)
