Figure 1: Overview of the Commax TP-12RM Master Interphone System components. This image displays the TP-12RM master unit on the left, twelve TP-S remote units arranged in two rows on the right, and the RF-24015S power supply at the bottom left. All units are white and feature a classic interphone design with coiled handsets.
4. Setup and Installation
4.1 Wiring Diagram
The Commax TP-12RM system requires a 2-wire connection for each remote unit to the master unit. The power supply connects directly to the master unit. Ensure proper polarity during wiring.

Figure 2: System Wiring Diagram for the Commax TP-12RM. This diagram illustrates the connection of the TP-12RM master unit (represented by a central circuit board with terminals) to multiple TP-S remote units (shown as handsets). Each TP-S unit connects to the master unit via two wires. The DC24V power supply is shown connected to the master unit, providing power to the entire system.
4.2 Installation Steps
- Mounting: The master unit (TP-12RM) can be wall or desktop surface mounted. The remote units (TP-S) are surface mounted. Choose appropriate locations for optimal communication and accessibility.
- Wiring: Connect each TP-S remote unit to the TP-12RM master unit using a 2-wire cable. Ensure secure connections at all terminals. The maximum transmission distance is up to 1000 meters (3000 feet) with Ø0.65mm wire.
- Power Supply Connection: Connect the RF-24015S DC24V power supply to the designated power input terminals on the TP-12RM master unit.
- Power On: Plug the power supply into a standard AC outlet (AC100V-240V, 50/60Hz). The system will power on.
5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Making a Call (Master to Remote)
- Lift the handset on the TP-12RM master unit.
- Press the button corresponding to the desired remote unit (1-12).
- An electric call tone will sound at the remote unit.
- When the remote unit lifts its handset, communication can begin.
5.2 Making a Call (Remote to Master)
- Lift the handset on the TP-S remote unit.
- A melody sound will be heard at the TP-12RM master unit.
- The LED indicator on the master unit corresponding to the calling remote unit will illuminate.
- The master unit operator lifts the handset to establish communication.
5.3 Communication
Once a call is established, speak clearly into the handset. The system supports two-way communication between the master unit and one remote unit at a time. Remote units cannot communicate directly with each other.
6. Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the units with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Inspection: Periodically check all wiring connections for security and signs of wear.
- Environment: Ensure the units are kept in a clean, dry environment within the specified operating temperature range (0°C ~ 40°C / 32°F ~ 104°F).
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Commax interphone system, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
- No Power:
- Check if the power supply is securely plugged into a working outlet.
- Verify the power supply connection to the master unit.
- No Communication:
- Ensure all wiring connections between the master and remote units are secure and correctly polarized.
- Check if the correct remote unit button is pressed on the master unit.
- Confirm both handsets are lifted during a call.
- Poor Audio Quality:
- Inspect wiring for damage or loose connections.
- Ensure the transmission distance does not exceed 1000 meters with the recommended wire gauge.
- Remote Unit Not Ringing:
- Verify the wiring to that specific remote unit.
- Ensure the master unit is powered on and functioning.
If problems persist, contact customer support for assistance.
