Install an Aiphone IX-DV IP Video Door Station on a narrow aluminum storefront mullion or commercial door frame with the Aiphone IX-MB Mullion Mounting Bracket.

Designed specifically for the IX-DV Surface-Mount IP Video Door Station, the IX-MB provides additional mounting width when the existing door frame or mullion is too narrow to support the full width of the IX-DV.

The bracket can be installed on either the left or right side of an entrance, allowing the IX-DV to overhang the mullion while maintaining a secure, professional installation.

Integrated wiring clearance helps conceal CAT-5e/CAT-6 and low-voltage wiring behind the station while reducing excessive cable bending.

Designed for the Aiphone IX-DV

The IX-MB is specifically designed for the:

Aiphone IX-DV Surface-Mount IP Video Door Station

The bracket matches the IX-DV's mounting footprint and provides the support necessary to install the station where the existing mullion is narrower than the door station.

The IX-MB should not be treated as a universal Aiphone intercom mounting plate.

Mullion-Mount Solution

Commercial aluminum storefront entrances often provide only a narrow vertical mullion beside the door.

The IX-DV measures approximately:

4-1/2" Wide

which may be too wide to mount completely within a narrow storefront stile.

The IX-MB allows the IX-DV to extend beyond the edge of the mullion while maintaining a secure mounting surface.

Left or Right Side Installation

The IX-MB can be mounted on:

• Left side of entrance

• Right side of entrance

This allows the installer to choose the best location according to:

• Door swing

• Available mullion space

• Visitor approach

• Camera position

• Existing wiring

• Access-control hardware

Concealed Wiring

The bracket creates clearance behind the IX-DV for routing applicable wiring.

Typical wiring may include:

• CAT-5e

• CAT-6

• Door-release wiring

• Trigger-input wiring

• Auxiliary low-voltage wiring

The design helps keep wiring concealed after the IX-DV is installed.

CAT-5e / CAT-6 Cable Clearance

Network cable has minimum bend-radius requirements that should be respected during installation.

The IX-MB provides additional clearance behind the IX-DV to help prevent:

• Sharp network-cable bends

• Pinched Ethernet cable

• Excess strain on RJ45 connections

• Poor cable routing

This is particularly useful on shallow aluminum storefront mullions.

External Conduit Installation

The IX-MB includes wiring cutouts that can accommodate installations where wiring is brought to the station using external conduit.

This provides greater flexibility where wiring cannot be routed entirely through the interior of the door frame.

Surface Mount to Mullion

The IX-MB can mount directly to an appropriate:

Door Mullion

or:

Door Frame

The installer drills the appropriate mounting locations, routes the wiring through the mullion and bracket, then secures the IX-DV to the bracket.

1-Gang Box Mounting

Aiphone also identifies the IX-MB for surface mounting over an appropriate:

1-Gang Electrical Box

This provides another installation option where a recessed electrical box already exists at the entrance.

Aluminum Construction

The IX-MB is constructed from:

Aluminum

providing a durable but lightweight commercial mounting solution.

Its black finish complements the IX-DV installation while helping create a clean finished appearance on common storefront entrances.

Compact Profile

Bracket dimensions:

8-1/8" H × 4-1/2" W × 1/2" D

The shallow 1/2" depth keeps the IX-DV close to the door frame rather than creating a large surface enclosure.

Installation Overview

A typical installation consists of:

1. Determine whether the IX-DV will mount to the left or right side of the entrance.

2. Use the bracket/template to establish mounting-hole locations.

3. Route network and applicable low-voltage wiring through the mullion.

4. Route wiring through the IX-MB opening.

5. Secure the IX-MB to the mullion or appropriate mounting surface.

6. Complete the IX-DV wiring.

7. Secure the IX-DV to the IX-MB.

Do not make station wiring connections while equipment is powered.

Package Contents

Aiphone's IX-MB installation documentation identifies the package as including:

• IX-MB Mullion Bracket

• Mounting Screw Packet

• Installation Instructions

The IX-DV door station is sold separately unless specifically included as part of a separate system package.

TAA Compliant

The IX-MB is:

TAA Compliant

Aiphone's current TAA product list identifies the IX-MB country of origin as:

USA

This makes it suitable for applicable government and institutional projects requiring TAA-compliant hardware.

IX-MB vs. SBX-IXDV30

Both accessories are designed for the IX-DV, but they solve different installation problems.

IX-MB

Designed for:

• Narrow mullions

• Storefront door frames

• Straight surface mounting

• Concealed wiring

• Left- or right-side mullion installations

Depth:

1/2"

SBX-IXDV30

Designed for:

• Angled installations

• Wide entrances

• Double doors

• Locations where the camera needs to face toward the visitor

Provides approximately:

30° of outward angle

Choose the IX-MB when additional mounting width is needed.

Choose the SBX-IXDV30 when the primary requirement is changing the IX-DV camera/station viewing direction.

IX-MB vs. IX-DVM

Another option for narrow storefront applications is the:

IX-DVM Mullion-Mount IP Video Door Station

IX-DV + IX-MB

Provides:

• Full-size IX-DV

• 1.23MP camera

• Two Form C relay outputs

• Six trigger inputs

• PoE or 24VDC power

• PoE pass-through

• IX-MB supports narrow-frame mounting

IX-DVM

Provides:

• Dedicated narrow mullion design

• Approximately 1-7/8" station width

• Touchless call sensor

• 720p WDR camera

• One relay output

• One trigger input

• PoE power

The IX-MB is useful when the project requires the additional I/O and features of the IX-DV but the entrance has limited mullion width.

Ideal Applications

• Aluminum storefront doors

• Narrow door mullions

• Commercial glass entrances

• Office entrances

• Retail storefronts

• Schools and universities

• Healthcare facilities

• Corporate buildings

• Government facilities

• Industrial facilities

• Security entrances

• IX Series systems

• IXG Series systems
