Aiphone AX-DM – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Aiphone AX-DM door station hold up mounted outside?
The AX-DM is an exterior rated door station. It carries an IP43 protection rating, an ABS plastic housing, and an operating temperature range of 14 to 140 degrees F (-10 to 60 degrees C). IP43 covers spray from above, so a covered entry or a location with some overhead protection is the right application; it is not a submersion or pressure wash rating.
2) Can the AX-DM mount on a narrow storefront mullion instead of the wall?
That is what the AX-DM is built for. It is a mullion mount station that surface mounts directly to a wall or a mullion, so on an aluminum storefront you get a station on the frame member beside the glass rather than cutting into it. Surface mount also means no back box cut into the wall.
3) What wire do I need to run to an Aiphone AX-DM, and how far can it go?
Cat-5e or 2-conductor cable, with a maximum wire distance of 980 feet. That run length covers most single-building applications, a parking gate, or a rear service door well away from the master station. Pulling Cat-5e is the common choice on new work since it is what the rest of the AX system uses.
4) Does the AX-DM have a camera, or is it audio only?
Audio only. The AX-DM is a hands-free audio door station, so a tenant or a front desk hears the visitor and talks back but does not see them. If the job requires the operator to identify a face before releasing the door, you need a video door station on the AX system instead.
5) Which Aiphone systems will an AX-DM work with?
The AX-DM works with the AX Series, the IE-8 Series, the IPW-1A, the KB-Series, and the TD-H Series. So if you already have an IE-8 or a KB system in the building, the AX-DM is a usable entry station and you are not forced to replace the head end to add a door.
6) Is the Aiphone AX-DM rated for commercial use?
Yes, it is a commercial grade station. Hands-free operation, ABS housing, and a weather resistant IP43 body suit apartment entries, office rear doors, gates, and similar traffic. It is a sub station, meaning it is the entry point that reports back to a master station rather than the master itself.
7) Do I need to order anything else with the AX-DM to make it work?
The AX-DM is a door station only. It requires a compatible system to talk to, either an AX Series, IE-8, IPW-1A, KB-Series, or TD-H Series head end, plus the cable run (Cat-5e or 2-conductor, up to 980 feet). Since it surface mounts, no back box or wall cut-in is part of the install, but you still need whatever door release hardware the opening calls for; the station itself is the intercom, not the lock.
8) Will an AX-DM work in an unheated garage or a cold climate entry?
Down to 14 degrees F and up to 140 degrees F. That covers an unconditioned parking garage, a loading dock, or a gate pedestal in most of the country, but a station exposed on an unprotected wall in a region that regularly runs below 14 degrees F is outside its stated range.
