Designed for Narrow Mullions

The IX-DVM measures only:

1-7/8" Wide

making it ideal for entrances where there is not enough mounting width for a conventional door station.

Typical mounting locations include:

• Aluminum storefront mullions

• Narrow door frames

• Commercial glass entrances

• Office entrances

• Retail storefronts

• Vestibules

• Gate posts

• Compact security entrances

Its narrow profile allows a full IP video intercom to be installed without adding a large mounting plate beside the door.

Touchless Call Sensor

The IX-DVM incorporates a touchless call sensor on the front of the station.

A visitor can initiate a call by holding a hand or other detectable object near the sensor instead of physically pressing the call button.

This can be particularly useful for:

• Public buildings

• Clean environments

• Accessibility-focused entrances

Adjustable Detection Distance

The touchless sensor can be configured for several detection ranges.

Available settings include:

• 2" / 5 cm

• 2.8" / 7 cm

• 4" / 10 cm

• 4.7" / 12 cm

• 6" / 15 cm

Default detection distance:

4" / 10 cm

This allows the installer to adjust sensitivity according to the entrance environment.

Adjustable Detection Time

The amount of time an object must remain within the sensor's detection area can also be adjusted.

Available settings:

• 0.5 Seconds

• 1.0 Second

• 1.5 Seconds

• 2.0 Seconds

• 2.5 Seconds

Default:

0.5 Seconds

Increasing the detection time can help reduce accidental calls in certain installations.

Touchless Sensor Can Be Disabled

The touchless feature can be turned off through the IX or IXG configuration tools.

When disabled, visitors can continue using the station's conventional:

Physical Call Button

This provides flexibility for environments where touchless operation is not desired.

Conventional Call Button

In addition to the touchless sensor, the IX-DVM includes a traditional call button.

The call button includes an illuminated status ring that provides additional operating feedback.

This allows the station to continue functioning as a familiar push-button intercom even if the touchless feature is disabled.

Environmental Sensor Considerations

Environmental conditions can affect touchless sensor operation.

Conditions such as:
