Aiphone IF-DA – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can the Aiphone IF-DA door station be mounted outside on an entry door?
The IF-DA is an exterior rated sub station, and it carries an IP43 protection rating with an operating range of 14 to 140 degrees F (-10 to 60 degrees C). That covers a covered entry, a vestibule, or a gate post in most climates. The housing is ABS plastic.
2) What do I need in the wall to mount an Aiphone IF-DA?
A single gang box or ring is all the IF-DA needs, and it will also surface mount directly to any flat wall surface if there is no box. That is the whole install, so on a retrofit you can reuse an existing 1-gang opening rather than cutting the wall for a flush back box.
3) What wire do I run to an Aiphone IF-DA door station?
Two conductor with an overall shield. Aiphone specifies its own #822202 or #821802 cable for the IF-DA. Shielded is not optional here, unshielded two conductor picks up noise on the audio pair, so pull the right cable before the walls close up.
4) Does the Aiphone IF-DA have a camera, or is it audio only?
Audio only. The IF-DA is an audio door station with hands-free communication and a locator LED beside the call button so a visitor can find it after dark. If you need to see who is at the door, you need a video door station instead, not this one.
5) Will the Aiphone IF-DA work with any intercom system I already have?
No. The IF-DA is built as a sub station for the Aiphone AX system and is wired into that system, so it is not a standalone doorbell and it will not drop onto another manufacturer's intercom or another Aiphone platform. If your building runs an AX head end, it adds a door position to it.
6) Does the visitor have to hold a button to talk on the Aiphone IF-DA?
No, communication is hands-free. The visitor presses the call button once and then speaks normally, which matters for an ADA-conscious entry, for a delivery driver with both hands full, and for a lobby where you do not want to explain a push-to-talk to every guest.
7) Will an IP43 rated door station survive direct rain on an uncovered wall?
IP43 protects against solid objects over 1mm and against spraying water angled up to 60 degrees from vertical, so the IF-DA handles wind driven spray under an overhang or a recessed entry. It is not a submersion or driving rain rating. On a fully exposed wall with no soffit, mount it under a rain hood.
8) Is the Aiphone IF-DA suitable for a commercial building or is it a residential unit?
Commercial. Aiphone lists the IF-DA as a commercial product, and it is an AX system sub station, which is a multi tenant and multi door platform rather than a single family doorbell. Property managers standardizing entry points across a building are the intended user.
