The Aiphone DA-1ASK DA Series Audio Intercom Kit is a practical 2-wire door entry and access communication solution featuring a silver 1-call entrance station, DA-1MD handset tenant station and PT-1211C power supply. Designed for straightforward visitor communication and controlled door release, the DA Series combines full-duplex handset communication, hands-free door-station audio, a backlit directory and simple 2-wire installation for residential and light commercial entry applications.
The system allows a visitor to call from the entrance station while the occupant answers privately using the DA-1MD handset. The tenant station provides door-release control, adjustable call-tone volume with a mute indicator, and an option button for controlling a compatible external device.
A key advantage of the DA Series is that a compatible electric door strike can be powered through the entrance station, eliminating the need for a separate transformer for the door-release function. The specified door-release requirement is 9.5–20V AC with 70Ω or higher resistance, with the Aiphone EL-12S specified for use.
