AIPHONE

Aiphone is a Japanese manufacturer of intercom and access-control communication equipment, founded in 1948 and headquartered in Nagoya. The company's product line spans audio-only and video intercom systems for residential, commercial, and institutional buildings, along with the peripheral components required to complete an installation: door and master stations, sub-stations, power supplies, mounting enclosures, blank panels, and intercom wire. Aiphone systems are organized into named series, each with its own station compatibility, wiring topology, and power requirements. Commonly encountered series include the IX Series (IP-based video intercom with 24V DC or 24V AC power, CMOS camera door stations, and primary stations available in indoor and outdoor configurations), the GT Series (entrance panels with vandal-resistant surface-mount enclosures and blank filler panels), the JP Series (video intercom primary stations operating on 24V DC for indoor commercial and institutional use), and the LEF Series (12V DC surface-mount audio master stations for indoor two-way voice communication). Across these families, Aiphone equipment is specified by control rank (primary or subordinate), mounting method (surface or desk stand), and location rating (indoor or outdoor), which allows a system to be assembled from compatible stations rather than a single fixed kit. 3G Electric supplies the Aiphone line as individual SKUs, covering door stations, master and sub-stations, enclosures, panels, and wire. The catalog includes both current and legacy series components, so a maintenance or expansion project can source a replacement station or a matching enclosure without changing the rest of the system. Technical buyers can filter by series compatibility, power input, control rank, and physical dimensions. Because Aiphone wiring is not interchangeable across all series, the catalog also lists low-capacitance, non-shielded intercom wire intended for Aiphone systems, along with the mounting hardware that ships with many stations and panels. For specifying engineers and maintenance managers, the practical selection criteria are the series already installed, the power available at each station location, whether the station is primary or subordinate, and whether the mounting surface is indoor or outdoor. 3G Electric lists these attributes per SKU so a quote request can be matched to the correct part number, including the manufacturer model number, overall dimensions, and compatible series.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about AIPHONE from 3G Electric.

What is the difference between an Aiphone IX Series primary station and a door station?

In the Aiphone IX Series, a primary station (for example, the IX-MV7-HB or IX-MV7-B) is the indoor or outdoor unit that initiates and manages communication, door release, and monitoring. A door station such as the IX-DV is the entry point unit that captures audio and video and is mounted at the door. The IX-DV uses a CMOS camera and operates on 24V DC, while IX Series primary stations accept 24V AC or 24V DC. Both are part of the same series and are wired together; a primary station is required for the system to function.

Can Aiphone GT Series entrance panels be mounted outdoors?

GT Series entrance panels are supported by accessories such as the GT-103HB vandal-resistant surface-mount enclosure, which measures 36 in high, 12 in wide, and 2 in deep. The enclosure is intended to protect intercom components in commercial or multi-tenant installations. Whether a specific GT Series panel is suitable for a given outdoor location depends on the panel's own rating and the enclosure used. The GT-103HB is a surface-mount box, so it is installed on the wall surface rather than recessed.

What power does the Aiphone LEF-10 master station require?

The Aiphone LEF-10 is a surface-mount master station in the LEF Series, designed for indoor audio intercom systems. It operates on 12V DC and provides two-way voice communication with compatible LEF Series sub-stations. Its overall dimensions are approximately 8-1/16 in high, 7-1/2 in wide, and 2-3/16 in deep. Because it is a primary station, it is the unit that controls communication with the connected sub-stations. Power supply selection should match the 12V DC requirement and the number of stations on the circuit.

What is the Aiphone GF-BP blank panel used for?

The Aiphone GF-BP is a vandal-resistant blank panel for GT Series entrance stations. It serves as a filler or cover plate to seal unused openings in an entrance station frame or to replace a damaged panel. Mounting hardware is included. It does not carry audio or video functions; it is a mechanical closure only. Specifying the GF-BP is appropriate when a GT Series entrance station has an open module position that will not be populated, or when an existing panel needs replacement without changing the station configuration.

Does Aiphone intercom wire need to be shielded?

Aiphone intercom wire such as model 87180210C is non-shielded and low capacitance. Low capacitance supports reliable signal transmission over the run length used in Aiphone intercom systems. Shielded cable is not required for the standard wiring of the Aiphone systems listed here. The wire is compatible with Aiphone intercom systems generally and ships with mounting hardware. When specifying wire, confirm the series and the number of conductors required by the stations on the circuit, since wiring topology differs between audio and video series.

What does control rank mean for Aiphone stations?

Control rank indicates whether a station is primary or subordinate in an Aiphone system. A primary station, such as the IX-MV7-B or JP-4MED, manages communication, door release, and monitoring for the system. A subordinate station operates under the control of a primary station and does not independently manage the system. When building or expanding a system, the primary station must be compatible with the series and with the subordinate stations and door stations connected to it. Mixing control ranks across incompatible series will not produce a working system.
