Aiphone LE-A – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What does the Aiphone LE-A sub station do, and does it work on its own?
The LE-A is an interior sub station for Aiphone's LEF intercom system, and it is not a standalone intercom. It provides internal communication back to an LEF or LAF master station, single call, audio only. Without an LEF/LAF master on the system it has nothing to talk to. If you are building a system from scratch, the master station is the piece you order first and the LE-A sub stations are what you add at the rooms and offices that need to reach it.
2) What is the difference between the Aiphone LE-A and the LE-AN?
Privacy. The LE-AN adds a privacy button that prevents the master station from listening in on the room; the plain LE-A has no such button. Both are the same single call audio sub station otherwise. Pick the LE-AN for offices, exam rooms, dorm rooms, or any space where an occupant would object to a master being able to open the channel unannounced. The standard LE-A is the choice for corridors, shops, and back-of-house where open monitoring is fine.
3) How far can an Aiphone LE-A sub station be run from the master station?
Run length depends on the wire gauge. From the sub station to the farthest master station, the limit is 650 feet on 22AWG and 1,600 feet on 18AWG. Use 3-conductor overall shielded cable, Aiphone #822203 for 22AWG or #821803 for 18AWG. On a large building, spec the 18AWG up front rather than pulling 22AWG and discovering the far wing is out of range.
4) Does the Aiphone LE-A need to be mounted on the wall, or can it sit on a desk?
Either. The LE-A is rated for wall or desk mount, so the same part covers a reception counter and a corridor wall. It measures 6-5/16 inches H x 5-3/16 inches W x 13/16 inches D, so it takes very little wall real estate and sits shallow enough not to be in the way on a desk.
5) Do you have to press a button to talk on an Aiphone LE-A, or is it hands free?
Hands free. The LE-A uses open voice communication, so once the master calls the station both ends can talk without holding a button down. For a shop floor, a loading dock, or anywhere someone has their hands full, that is the difference between a usable station and one people ignore. On the LE-AN, the privacy button is what closes that open channel when the occupant wants it closed.
6) Can I mix Aiphone LE-A and LE-AN stations on the same LEF system?
Yes. Both are single call audio sub stations for the same LEF/LAF masters and use the same 3-conductor shielded home run back to the master, so you can specify privacy only where it is needed and standard everywhere else on one system. A common layout in a facility is LE-AN in private offices and LE-A in shared or public spaces.
7) Is the Aiphone LE-A rated for commercial use, and what is the housing made of?
Commercial grade, with an ABS plastic housing. It is an interior station, so plan it for conditioned space, offices, corridors, nurse stations, back offices, and not for an exterior door or an unheated dock face. For an entrance point you want a door station built for outdoor exposure instead.
