Aiphone AC-2DMBOX – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Which Aiphone controllers does the AC-2DMBOX surface mount box fit?
The AC-2DMBOX is built to house the Aiphone AC-2DM-B and AC-2DM-W door controllers from the AC Series access control system. It is not a general-purpose enclosure, so it is sized to those two controller units specifically.
2) Can I mount an AC-2DM controller on the wall without cutting into drywall for a back box?
Yes. That is the reason the AC-2DMBOX exists. It is a surface mount enclosure that fastens directly to the wall face, so no recessed back box or in-wall cutout is needed. Handy on block, tile, or finished walls where you cannot open the surface, and on retrofits where the existing opening has no rough-in.
3) What size conduit can I run into the Aiphone AC-2DM surface mount box?
Six 3/4 inch knockouts are provided, which takes standard 3/4 inch trade size conduit or connectors. Six openings gives you separate entries for reader wiring, lock power, REX and door position, so you are not forcing everything through one knockout.
4) Does the AC-2DMBOX come with a door controller, or do I order that separately?
It is the enclosure only. The AC-2DM-B or AC-2DM-W controller is a separate order, so specify the box plus the controller model you want on the same PO to finish the install.
5) Can a Codelocks A3 dual door controller be used in place of the Aiphone AC-2DMBOX?
No - they are different kinds of product. The Aiphone AC-2DMBOX is an empty 20 gauge cold rolled steel surface mount enclosure, 3-3/8 inch H x 10-1/8 inch W x 1-1/2 inch D with six 3/4 inch conduit knockouts, built to hold AC-2DM-B and AC-2DM-W controllers on the wall. The Codelocks A3 is itself a dual standalone door controller with RFID in a black finish, so it is the electronics rather than a housing for them. If the goal is to surface mount an existing AC-2DM-B or AC-2DM-W without cutting in a recessed back box, the AC-2DMBOX is the part that does that job.
6) Is the Aiphone AC-2DMBOX strong enough for a commercial corridor or industrial area?
It is fabricated from 20 gauge cold rolled steel and classed for commercial use, not residential. Aiphone lists typical applications as office buildings, schools, healthcare, retail, industrial access points, government facilities, and multi-tenant residential properties.
7) I need a two-door access controller, not a mounting box. What are my options?
The AC-2DMBOX is just the steel surface housing, so it does nothing on its own. If you are after the control electronics, the Aiphone AC-2DM-B or AC-2DM-W is the controller this box is built around. From another brand, ZenSupply carries the Codelocks A3 Dual Standalone Door Controller with RFID in a black finish, part of the Codelocks A3 Door Controllers series, as a standalone two-door option.
8) We want standalone RFID control at the door instead of mounting an AC-2DM on the wall - what is the alternative?
A standalone unit such as the Codelocks A3 dual door controller with RFID, in a black finish, puts the credential reading and door control in one device rather than in a wall-mounted controller and enclosure. The Aiphone AC-2DMBOX takes the other approach: it is a surface mount steel box sized to carry AC-2DM-B or AC-2DM-W controllers on the wall surface, with six 3/4 inch conduit knockouts for running external conduit to the door hardware. Which path fits depends on whether the system is being built around Aiphone AC Series controllers or around standalone door units.
9) Will the same AC-2DMBOX work whether I ordered the black or the white AC-2DM controller?
Yes, one box covers both. The AC-2DMBOX is specified for the AC-2DM-B and the AC-2DM-W alike, so you order the same enclosure regardless of which controller finish is going in.
