TOA Electronics IP Door Station - N-8640DS

Product Overview

The TOA N-8640DS is an outdoor IP door station that uses packet audio technology to provide hands-free, high-quality intercom communication over a LAN or WAN. Connected to a TOA IP Intercom Exchange or IP multifunctional master station, it handles door-entry calls at building entrances, gates, and perimeter points. Built-in control inputs and outputs let it trigger and respond to external equipment such as sensors, indicators, electric locks, and external speakers.

Product Description

The N-8640DS brings IP-based door-entry communication to outdoor and exposed locations with a stainless-steel (SUS304) hairline panel and IP65 dust and water protection. It supports hands-free conversation across a 300 Hz to 7 kHz audio range and can be powered over a single Ethernet cable using IEEE 802.3af PoE, or by an optional 12 V DC adapter. The station provides one no-voltage control input and five control outputs (four open-collector channels plus one relay contact), allowing integration with door releases, status indicators, and building-management equipment. An external speaker terminal extends audio to a connected 8-ohm speaker, and the station can work alongside TOA Multi Interface units across the network. Flush or surface mounting and a wide operating temperature range from -10 to +50 degrees C suit demanding entry points.
