Aiphone LEF Series Selective Call Master & Sub Intercom System

The Aiphone LEF Series is a selective call master and sub intercom system designed for targeted, two-way communication across offices, commercial buildings, schools, and residential access points. Available in multiple configurations including the LEF-3L, LEF-10, and LEF-10C, this intermixable system supports any combination of master and sub stations for up to 11 total units on a single system. Each master station operates on push-to-talk communication with hands-free reply from sub or called stations, while running on 12V DC power for reliable, everyday performance.

Key Features

  • Intermixable System Capacity: Supports any combination of master and sub stations for up to 11 total units on a single selective call system.
  • Selective Calling & Monitoring: Enables targeted communication and monitoring between specific stations rather than broadcasting to every unit.
  • Push-to-Talk with Hands-Free Reply: Master stations use push-to-talk communication while sub or called stations reply hands-free for fast, natural conversations.
  • Multiple Master Configurations: Offered in 3-call, 5-call, and 10-call master station configurations (LEF-3L, LEF-5, LEF-10) to match system size requirements.
  • 12V DC Power Supply Options: Powered by a 12V DC source using the PS-1208UL power supply, or the PS-1225UL when a BG-10C is part of the system.
  • Door Release Output: Includes an N/O dry contact door release output rated 24V DC, 1A; use the EL-12S with 1 RY-PA per door strike for door release control.
  • Long Wiring Distances: Supports wiring runs from the door or sub station to the farthest master station of up to 650' with 22 AWG wire or 1,600' with 18 AWG wire.
  • Wide Series Compatibility: Compatible with a variety of LEF series master and sub stations for flexible system design and future expansion.

Aiphone LEF-3 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) How many stations can an Aiphone LEF intercom system have on it?
An LEF selective call system takes up to 11 total units, and masters and subs are intermixable, so you choose the mix. One master and ten subs, three masters and eight subs, whatever the building needs. The limit is the total count of 11, not a cap on either type. That is the number to plan around before you pick a 3-call, 5-call, or 10-call master.
2) How far can I run wire from the door station back to the LEF master?
From the door or sub station to the farthest master station, the LEF Series supports 650 feet on 22 AWG and 1,600 feet on 18 AWG. If the run is over 650 feet, pull 18 AWG. On a campus building or a long warehouse where the entry is far from the office, that difference in wire gauge is what decides whether the system works on a single home run.
3) Can the Aiphone LEF master station release a door strike?
Yes. LEF masters carry a door release output, an N/O dry contact rated 24V DC at 1 amp. For actual strike control you add the EL-12S along with one RY-PA per door strike. The dry contact by itself does not power a strike, so budget the EL-12S and an RY-PA for every opening you want released from the master.
4) What power supply does an Aiphone LEF intercom system need?
The LEF Series runs on 12V DC, supplied by the PS-1208UL. If a BG-10C is part of the system, use the PS-1225UL instead. The power supply is a separate item from the stations, so order it with the masters and subs rather than expecting it in the box.
5) Do I need a surface mount or semi-flush mount LEF master station?
Both are offered in every call size. Surface mount screws to the finished wall surface and needs no back box cut into it, which is what you want on block, concrete, or an existing office wall you do not want to open up. Semi-flush sits into the wall for a lower profile at a reception desk or a lobby. Pick surface for retrofits into finished construction, semi-flush when the wall is open or the box is already there.
6) Should I buy the 3-call, 5-call, or 10-call Aiphone LEF master?
Match the call buttons to how many stations that master needs to reach directly. The LEF-3L handles three, the LEF-5 five, and the LEF-10 ten, and each button selects one station rather than broadcasting to all of them. A small office with a front door and two back rooms is a 3-call job. A school office calling ten classrooms or a property manager reaching ten units needs the 10-call. Buy the size you will grow into, since the button count on a master is fixed.
7) Is the Aiphone LEF a hands-free intercom or do you have to hold a button?
It works both ways depending on which end you are standing at. The master station is push to talk, you hold the button to speak. The sub station or the station being called answers hands free, no button. So a tenant at a door or a worker at a sub station just talks, while the person at the master, typically the office or front desk, holds to speak. If you need hands free at both ends, this is not that system.
8) Can an Aiphone LEF master monitor a room without someone answering?
Yes, LEF masters do selective calling and monitoring, so a master can listen in on a specific station rather than opening every unit on the system. That is how it gets used in schools and multi-tenant buildings, checking one room or one entry at a time. Monitoring targets a chosen station, not the whole system at once.
9) Can I add more stations to an existing Aiphone LEF system later?
Yes, within the 11 unit total. The LEF Series is intermixable across its master and sub stations, so you can add stations to an installed system as long as the head count stays at or under 11. The constraint to watch is the master you already have: a 3-call master only selects three stations directly, so a system that will grow is worth starting on a larger master.
10) Is the Aiphone LEF intercom rated for commercial buildings or is it residential?
Commercial. The LEF Series is a commercial grade audio intercom, and it gets installed in office buildings, schools, retail, institutional and municipal buildings, and multi-tenant residential properties. It also works at single residential access points, but the design target is commercial and multi-tenant work.
