Alpha Communications IR204E 4-wire Surface Mount Intercom Station

Product Description

The ALPHA COMMUNICATIONS IR204E is a 4-wire surface mount intercom station designed for audio-only intercom systems. This plastic-housed station mounts directly to a wall or door post surface, making it well suited for installations where flush or recessed mounting is not practical. It connects via a standard 4-wire configuration, which is the conventional wiring scheme for hardwired intercom networks in residential and light commercial settings. Licensed electricians and low-voltage technicians are the primary trades responsible for installing and commissioning this type of intercom station.

The IR204E is intended for use in audio-only intercom systems, meaning it does not support video transmission. Typical installation scenarios include apartment entry systems, office door stations, warehouse access points, and multi-unit residential buildings where voice communication between stations is required. It is sold as a single unit per package and is part of ALPHA COMMUNICATIONS intercom product line.
