AXIS 2N IP VERSO – 2M Surface Frame BLACK 01290-001

Product SKU: 01290-001

Product Overview

The AXIS 2N 01290-001 is a black two-module surface installation frame designed for compatible 2N modular intercom systems. Also identified as 2N part number 9155022B, it provides the correct surface-mount format where a two-module 2N installation is required without cutting a recessed mounting cavity into the wall. The frame measures approximately 234.1 mm high, 106.5 mm wide and 27.5 mm deep, giving installers a compact finished enclosure for compatible modular entrance components. Current 2N compatibility includes the 2N IP Verso 2.0, 2N IP Verso and 2N LTE Verso families. For a standard flat mounting surface, no additional mounting accessory is required for the frame itself; where the surface is glass or uneven, a suitable compatible backplate is recommended.

Key Capabilities

Best For

• Apartment entrances: Suitable for surface-mounted black 2N intercom installations where a two-module frame is required.
• Office and commercial entry points: Provides a clean mounting format for compatible modular intercom and access-control components.
• Retrofit installations: Useful where creating a deep recessed cavity for a flush-mount intercom is impractical.
• Black 2N system builds: Matches compatible black-finish components for a more consistent entrance-station appearance.

Why Choose the 01290-001

The 01290-001 is the appropriate mounting choice when a compatible 2N system requires a black two-module surface installation rather than a flush-mounted assembly. The frame provides the manufacturer-defined dimensions and mounting format for the modular system while avoiding the need for a recessed wall box. Its black brushed-steel finish also keeps the entrance station visually consistent with matching black 2N components. Available through Security Wholesalers, this frame is best selected at the same time as the intercom and extension modules so the required module count, colour and mounting method are confirmed before installation work begins.

Ideal Use Cases

Choosing the Right Model

• Choose 01290-001 if: You need a black two-module surface-mount frame for a compatible 2N modular system.
• Choose 01289-001 if: You require the corresponding two-module surface frame in the nickel finish rather than black.
• Choose a one-module frame if: You are installing a single compatible extending module separately from the main intercom assembly.
• Choose a three-module frame if: The required surface-mounted configuration needs three module positions.
• Choose the flush-mount range if: The installation is intended to sit recessed into the wall rather than projecting from the surface.

FAQs

1. What is AXIS 2N 01290-001 used for?
   AXIS 2N 01290-001 is a black two-module surface installation frame for compatible 2N modular intercom systems. It allows the intercom assembly to be installed directly on a suitable wall surface rather than inside a recessed flush-mount box. It is listed for compatible 2N IP Verso 2.0, 2N IP Verso and 2N LTE Verso installations.
2. Is AXIS 01290-001 the same as 2N part number 9155022B?
   Yes. Axis part number 01290-001 corresponds to 2N part number 9155022B. Both numbers identify the black two-module surface installation frame. This is useful when matching current Axis ordering references against older 2N documentation, existing installations or Australian supplier listings that may still identify the product by its original 9155022B number.
3. What are the dimensions of the 2N 01290-001 surface frame?
   The two-module surface frame measures approximately 234.1 mm high, 106.5 mm wide and 27.5 mm deep. These are the relevant visible frame dimensions for planning the wall area around the installation. Allow sufficient additional space for installation access, cabling and the requirements of the compatible modules being fitted inside the completed 2N assembly.
4. Do I need another mounting box with the 01290-001 surface frame?
   For normal surface installation on a suitable flat wall, 2N states that no other mounting accessory is required for the surface installation of the intercom. This differs from a flush-mounted setup, which uses a recessed wall box and matching flush frame. The intercom main unit and any functional modules are separate products and are not included simply because the surface frame has been selected.
5. Can AXIS 01290-001 be installed on glass or an uneven wall?
   For glass or uneven surfaces, 2N recommends using a compatible backplate. Surface-installation guidance specifies a maximum wall unevenness of approximately 0.5 mm. If the surface cannot meet this requirement, use the appropriate backplate, correct the wall surface or consider a suitable flush-mounted installation rather than forcing the surface frame against an uneven substrate.
6. Is the 01290-001 frame suitable for the main 2N IP Verso unit?
   Yes. 2N installation guidance specifies a two-module surface frame for surface installation of the compatible main unit. The one-module surface frame is intended primarily for stand-alone extending modules, while the two-module 01290-001 provides the required black surface-mount format for a compatible main-unit installation. Confirm the complete module arrangement before ordering the mounting hardware.
7. What is the difference between AXIS 01290-001 and 01289-001?
   Both are two-module surface installation frames for compatible 2N modular systems. The difference is the finish: 01290-001 is the black version, corresponding to 2N part number 9155022B, while 01289-001 is the nickel version. Choose the frame that matches the visible finish of the other 2N components being used in the entrance station.
8. How do I know whether I need a one-, two- or three-module frame?
   The correct frame depends on the exact modular configuration and whether the system is surface or flush mounted. A compatible main-unit surface installation uses the two-module format, while separate extending modules can use the one-module frame and larger configurations can require three modules. When planning the system through Security Wholesalers, confirm the main unit, extensions, colour and mounting method together before selecting the frame.
