Aiphone BA-1 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Which Aiphone intercom systems does the BA-1 paging adaptor work with?
The BA-1 paging adaptor is made for Aiphone LEF and LEM Series intercom systems. It ties into the master station and sends outgoing audio out to external paging speakers, so the master station doubles as the paging mic. If your system is not an LEF or LEM master, this is not the adaptor for it.
2) Does the BA-1 need its own power supply or transformer?
No separate supply is needed. The BA-1 draws its power from the LEF or LEM master station it connects to, so there is no extra transformer or outlet to plan for at the adaptor location.
3) What wire do I need to run for an Aiphone BA-1 paging adaptor install?
Two-conductor with an overall shield. Aiphone calls out its own #822202 cable for this run. The shield matters here because the adaptor is passing low level audio into a paging amplifier, and unshielded runs pick up noise.
4) Will the BA-1 drive my existing paging amplifier?
It will if the amp has an AUX input rated around 10k ohms and needs roughly 100mV to reach rated output, which is what the BA-1 expects to see. The adaptor's own input is 20 ohms and its output is 10k ohms. Note the BA-1 is a line level interface to an amplifier, not an amplifier itself, so you still need powered paging electronics and speakers downstream.
5) Do I still need a separate paging microphone if I install a BA-1?
No. That is the point of the adaptor. Where an LEF or LEM intercom is already in place, the BA-1 lets staff page from the existing master station instead of putting a dedicated paging mic and its own desk space on the counter.
6) Is the Aiphone BA-1 suitable for a commercial building, or is it a residential part?
It is a commercial-rated accessory, which is how it gets used in practice: warehouses, schools, clinics and back-of-house areas where an LEF or LEM intercom is already handling door and room calls and the owner wants overhead paging off the same master station.
7) How do I order the Aiphone paging adaptor, and is there more than one version?
There is one model, the Aiphone BA-1, ordered as a single item with no finish, handing, or voltage options to pick. Full details are in Aiphone's General Line Catalog, which covers the LEF and LEM master stations it pairs with.
