Hands-Free Audio Communication

The IE-JA provides open-voice hands-free communication between a visitor at the entrance and a compatible Aiphone master station.

When the visitor presses the call button:

1. The compatible master station receives the call

2. The user answers at the master station

3. Hands-free communication is established

4. The visitor speaks through the IE-JA microphone and speaker

No handset is required at the entrance station.

Locator LED

A built-in locator LED above the call button helps visitors identify the call button in low-light areas.

This makes the IE-JA well suited for entrances such as:

• Apartment buildings

• Office entrances

• Vestibules

• Residential entry doors

• Commercial facilities

• After-hours entrances

Stainless-Steel Cover

The IE-JA combines an ABS internal housing with a stainless-steel exterior cover.

This provides a professional appearance while helping protect the door station in everyday entrance applications.

For applications requiring a more heavily vandal-resistant construction, Aiphone also offers compatible-style stainless-steel stations such as the IE-SS/A.

IP33 Protection

The IE-JA carries an:

IP33 Protection Rating

This indicates protection against applicable solid-object intrusion and spraying water when the station is properly installed.

The complete installation should follow Aiphone mounting instructions, especially for exterior locations.

Flush-Mount Installation

The IE-JA is designed to flush mount to a standard:

2-Gang Electrical Box or Ring

Aiphone recommends adequate back-box depth for flush-mounted door stations.

The low-profile front provides a clean installation with only the stainless-steel station face visible.

Surface-Mount Installation

Where flush mounting is not practical, use:

SBX-2G/A – Stainless-Steel Surface-Mount Box

The SBX-2G/A is:

• Weather resistant

• Vandal resistant

• Constructed from 18-gauge stainless steel

• Designed with interior wiring space

• Mountable directly to a wall or over a 1-gang box/ring

• Supplied with tamper-resistant mounting hardware

This provides a convenient retrofit option for masonry, concrete, block, or existing finished walls.

Wiring Requirements

IE-JA wiring depends on the Aiphone system in which it is installed.

IE-8 / Compatible Analog Master Applications

Aiphone's current catalog specifies:

2-Conductor, Overall-Shielded Cable

Recommended Aiphone wire includes:

• 82220250C – 22 AWG | 2-Conductor | Shielded | 500'

• 82220210C – 22 AWG | 2-Conductor | Shielded | 1,000'

• 82180210C – 18 AWG | 2-Conductor | Shielded | 1,000'

AX Series Central Exchange Applications

Applicable AX installations can use:

Cat-5e

or applicable 2-conductor wiring according to the specific AX configuration.

Always follow the wiring requirements for the connected master or central exchange unit.

Wiring Distance

Maximum wiring distance varies by the connected system.

Aiphone technical documentation lists typical limits including:

AX Series

Up to 980 ft using approved 18 AWG wiring

Compatible Analog Systems

22 AWG: Up to 500 ft
18 AWG: Up to 1,180 ft

The exact maximum distance depends on the master station and system architecture.

Compatible AX Series Equipment

The IE-JA can be used as an audio door station with compatible Aiphone AX Series systems.

Applicable legacy equipment can include:

• AX central exchange units

• AX audio master stations

• AX audio/video master stations

When connected through an AX central exchange, wiring requirements differ from traditional analog master-station installations.

IE-8 Series Compatibility

The IE-JA is also compatible with the Aiphone IE-8 Series.

Legacy IE-8 equipment includes:

IE-8MD

6-call audio master station with handset.

IE-8HD

Audio sub-master handset.

The IE-8MD and IE-8HD are now discontinued, so verify existing system condition and compatibility when ordering the IE-JA as a replacement door station.

KB Series Compatibility

Aiphone also documents compatibility with applicable KB Series intercom systems.

The IE-JA can provide the audio door-station function in compatible KB installations where video at that particular entrance is not required.

Because KB equipment is legacy, verify the exact master-station model before ordering replacement equipment.

TD-H Series Compatibility

Aiphone's technical specifications also identify the IE-JA as compatible with applicable TD-H Series systems.

This makes the IE-JA useful for maintaining certain older Aiphone analog intercom installations.

Always verify the existing system model and wiring before replacement.

Power

The IE-JA does not normally require a separate dedicated power supply.

Operating power is supplied by the compatible:

• Master station

• Central exchange unit

The actual system power supply depends on the Aiphone system being used.

Door Release

The IE-JA itself is primarily a call and communication station.

Door-release functionality is handled by the connected Aiphone master system and appropriate relay or lock-control equipment.

Depending on the system, compatible accessories may include equipment such as:

• RY-1824L – Door Release Relay

• Compatible electric strike

• Appropriate lock power supply

Always design door-release hardware according to the master station and locking-device requirements.

IE-JA vs. IF-DA

Aiphone offers the IE-JA and IF-DA as compatible audio door-station styles.

IE-JA

• Flush mount

• Stainless-steel cover

• 2-gang installation

• Locator LED above call button

• Optional SBX-2G/A surface box

IF-DA

• Surface mount

• ABS housing

• 1-gang installation

Choose the model according to the desired mounting style and appearance.

IE-JA vs. IE-SS/A

IE-JA

Provides:

IE-SS/A

Current Product / Legacy System Note

Aiphone continues to maintain the IE-JA as an active product, but several intercom systems historically used with the station are now legacy or discontinued.

Before ordering an IE-JA for replacement work, verify:

• Master station model

• Central exchange model

• Existing wire type

• Wiring distance

• Door-release equipment

• Mounting method

This is especially important with older IE-8, AX, KB, and TD-H installations.

Ideal Applications

• Residential entrances

• Small businesses

• Reception entrances

• Existing AX Series systems

• Existing IE-8 Series systems
