Aiphone NHX-80X Central Control Unit with UL 1069 Listing and Microprocessor Control
The Aiphone NHX-80X Central Control Unit with UL 1069 Listing and Microprocessor Control serves as the core hub for Aiphone NHX Series audio intercom and nurse call systems, coordinating communication between Sub Stations, Duty Stations, and Master Stations. This UL 1069 Listed unit uses an internal microprocessor to manage system functions with dependable, consistent performance, and all wire terminations are made inside the enclosure using easy screwless connections. Designed for shielded twisted-pair wiring, the NHX-80X supports cable runs up to 165' (22AWG) from Sub Stations and 65' (22AWG) from Duty and Master Stations, with a maximum cumulative trunk line distance of 330' (22AWG), making it well suited for commercial and healthcare intercom installations.
Key Features
- Extended Wiring Distances: Supports up to 165' (22AWG) from the Sub Station to the Central Control Unit, and 65' (22AWG) from the Duty Station and Master Station to the Central Control Unit, with a maximum cumulative wire distance of 330' (22AWG) per trunk line.
- UL 1069 Listed: Recognized safety listing for central control units used in nurse call and intercom system applications.
- Microprocessor-Based Control: An internal microprocessor governs system functions for reliable, consistent operation across connected stations.
- Screwless Wire Terminations: All wire terminations are made inside the unit using easy screwless connections, simplifying installation and reducing wiring errors.
- Compatible Wiring Accessories: Use Aiphone #862208 (4 twisted pair, low cap, PE, overall shield) for Sub Station and Duty Station wiring, and Aiphone #862210 (5 twisted pair, low cap, PE, overall shield) for Master Station wiring.
- Shielded Twisted-Pair Wire Type: Engineered for use with low-capacitance, overall-shielded twisted pair cable to maintain signal integrity across long cable runs.

Aiphone NHX-80X – Frequently Asked Questions
1) How far can I run wire from the Aiphone NHX-80X central control unit to the stations?
With 22AWG shielded twisted pair, the NHX-80X allows up to 165 feet from a Sub Station back to the control unit, and up to 65 feet from a Duty Station or Master Station. Cumulative wire distance per trunk line tops out at 330 feet at 22AWG. The Duty and Master Station limit is the one that catches people out on larger floor plates, so lay out the control unit location around that 65 foot figure first, then fill in Sub Stations.
2) What cable do I need to order for an Aiphone NHX intercom system?
Two different Aiphone cables, depending on the station. Aiphone #862208 (4 twisted pair, low capacitance, PE, overall shield) handles Sub Station and Duty Station runs. Aiphone #862210 (5 twisted pair, low capacitance, PE, overall shield) is for Master Station wiring. Both are low-capacitance overall-shielded twisted pair, which is what holds signal integrity over the long runs the NHX-80X permits. Cable is a separate line item from the control unit.
3) What does the NHX-80X actually do in an Aiphone intercom system?
It is the head-end. The NHX-80X is the central control unit that coordinates audio traffic between Sub Stations, Duty Stations, and Master Stations on an Aiphone NHX Series system. An internal microprocessor governs the switching and system functions. It is not a station you talk into and it is not a door unit, so a working system needs the NHX-80X plus the stations themselves.
4) Will the NHX-80X work with stations from another Aiphone series?
The NHX-80X is built around NHX Series audio intercom and nurse call stations, and that is the family it coordinates. Treat it as an NHX head-end: spec NHX Sub Stations, Duty Stations, and Master Stations with it rather than trying to mix in hardware from a different Aiphone line.
5) My Aiphone system is audio only, no video. Is the NHX-80X the right control unit?
Yes, it is an audio unit. The NHX-80X sits in the audio intercom subcategory and manages voice communication between NHX stations over shielded twisted pair. If the job calls for video entry, this is not the head-end for it.
6) Do I need to land wiring on screw terminals inside the Aiphone NHX-80X?
No screws. All wire terminations are made inside the enclosure using screwless connections, so an installer strips and pushes the conductor in rather than torquing terminal screws. It speeds up a large station count and cuts the loose-termination callbacks that plague field wiring on nurse call trunks.
7) Is the Aiphone NHX-80X suitable for a residential intercom, or is it commercial only?
Commercial. The NHX-80X is classed as commercial equipment and is aimed at healthcare and nurse call, assisted living and senior care, schools, office buildings, government facilities, and industrial or warehouse sites. For a single-family house it is far more system than the job needs.
