Hands-Free IP Audio Communication

The IX-SSA provides open-voice communication between an entrance and compatible IX / IXG answering equipment.

When a visitor presses the call button:

1. The station initiates the programmed call.

2. One or more answering stations receive the call.

3. The operator answers.

4. Hands-free communication begins.

5. The operator can activate door release when appropriate.

No handset is required at the entrance.

Call Up to 20 Stations

The IX-SSA can be programmed to call up to:

20 Stations

This allows one entrance to contact combinations such as:

• Reception

• Security

• Guard stations

• Administrative offices

• IX-MV7 answering stations

• IX-SOFT workstations

Three Call Levels

One of three call-priority levels can be assigned.

This allows different IX / IXG devices to be prioritized according to the facility's communication requirements.

Visual Status Indicators

Front-panel indicators provide feedback for:

• Call placed

• Communication active

• Door release

• Station status

This gives visitors clear confirmation that the intercom request is being processed.

Custom Audio Messages

Custom sound files can be uploaded for supported events such as:

• Call placed

• Communication started

• Door released

• Error condition

• Other programmed station events

This allows the facility to provide customized visitor instructions.

SIP Compliant

The IX-SSA is:

SIP Compliant

This permits supported integration with compatible:

• SIP servers

• IP PBX systems

• VoIP platforms

• Third-party communication systems

microSD Audio Storage

Unlike the compact IX-SS-2G, the IX-SSA includes a:

microSD Card Slot

for applicable onboard audio storage and recording.

The microSD card is:

Not Included

Two Form C Relay Outputs

The IX-SSA provides:

2 Programmable Form C Dry Contacts

Each is rated:

24V AC/DC, 1A

Possible uses include:

• Electric strike control

• Gate activation

• Access-control interface

• External signaling

• Status output

• Auxiliary relay activation

Loads exceeding the relay rating require an appropriately rated external relay.

Six Trigger Inputs

The station provides:

6 Programmable Inputs

These can be assigned to functions such as:

• Trigger outgoing call

• Answer incoming call

• Answer page

• Security-system input

• Auxiliary push button

• Other dry-contact functions

600-Ohm Audio Output

The IX-SSA includes a:

600Ω Audio Output

for compatible external paging or communication equipment.

This can be integrated with an amplifier or other approved audio system.

PoE Power

Normal network power is supplied by:

IEEE 802.3af PoE

Maximum power draw:

3.36W

Optional 24VDC Power

The IX-SSA can alternatively operate from:

24VDC

using the:

PS-2420UL

Aiphone's current catalog lists a maximum station-to-power-supply distance of approximately:

50 ft

for the applicable installation method.

PoE Pass-Through

The IX-SSA provides PoE pass-through for an additional compatible network device.

For this feature, supply the station from:

IEEE 802.3at Type 2 PoE+

The additional device can then receive appropriate PoE through the IX-SSA's outgoing LAN connection.

IP65 / IK08 Protection

The IX-SSA is rated:

IP65

for environmental protection and:

IK08

for impact resistance.

Its stainless-steel construction makes it suitable for demanding indoor or outdoor entrances when properly installed.

Extreme-Temperature Operation

Operating range:

-40°F to 140°F

or:

-40°C to 60°C

Flush-Mount Installation

A flush-mount back box is included.

The stainless-steel front panel measures approximately:

10-7/16" H × 5-7/8" W

Surface-Mount Option

For installations where a recessed back box cannot be used, order:

SBX-IDVF – Stainless-Steel Surface-Mount Box

separately.
