Comelit UT9164 Flush-Mounting Frame for 4 Ultra Modules
Overview
The Comelit UT9164 is a flush-mounting frame engineered to consolidate up to four Ultra modules in a single wall installation. This accessory is purpose-built for Comelit modular video entry and intercom systems, allowing integrators to deploy multi-channel entry control without additional wall preparation or infrastructure redesign. The frame mounts directly into standard wall cavities, reducing installation complexity in residential buildings, multi-tenant commercial spaces, and facilities requiring distributed entry points.
Key Features
- 4-Module Capacity: Accommodates up to four Ultra modules in a single frame — consolidates multiple channels (audio, video, or access triggers) into one wall-mounted footprint, eliminating the need for separate wall boxes per function and reducing visible clutter.
- Flush-Mount Design: Sits recessed into drywall, creating a finished appearance that integrates into interior aesthetics — relevant when aesthetics matter as much as function, such as luxury residential or high-visibility commercial lobbies.
- Ultra Module Compatibility: Works exclusively with Comelit's Ultra modular ecosystem, ensuring reliable signal integrity and mechanical fit without adapter plates or workarounds.
- No Rewiring Required: Designed to retrofit into existing Comelit installations or new builds without forcing reconfiguration of wiring routes — the frame accepts standard backplane connections, so your cabling topology stays the same.
- Compact Footprint: Groups multiple functions in one location, simplifying maintenance access and reducing the number of wall penetrations — useful in retrofit scenarios where additional drilling creates cost and aesthetic penalties.
- Modular Expansion: Because it holds up to four modules, you can mix-and-match video intercoms, door release triggers, and access nodes as tenant or facility needs evolve, without replacing the entire mounting structure.
Integration & Compatibility
The UT9164 frame integrates directly into the Comelit Ultra modular platform. It works alongside any compatible Ultra modules (video intercoms, audio-only units, or access relay modules) and connects to standard Comelit control systems and VMS environments that support the Ultra protocol stack. When planning a video intercom system deployment across multiple entry points, the UT9164 simplifies logistics by reducing the number of unique mounting enclosures on your bill of materials.
When to Choose a Different Solution
If your installation requires more than four channels at a single location, you'll need multiple UT9164 frames or a larger panel-mount solution from the Comelit range. For outdoor or weatherproof mounting, this frame is unsuitable — the flush-mount design assumes a climate-controlled interior environment. For non-Comelit Ultra modules (legacy Comelit systems or third-party intercom hardware), compatibility is not assured and should be verified with the manufacturer before purchase.
Deployment Context
The UT9164 shines in multi-unit residential or office buildings where you need one or two entry points per floor or tenant suite. It also works in parking facilities, package rooms, or server closets where you want to consolidate multiple functions — access request, video call, and door release — without sprawling wall-mounted boxes. Installation time is reduced compared to mounting four separate single-module frames, which translates to lower labor costs on larger rollouts. For detailed guidance on sizing a modular access control and video entry system, consult your systems integrator.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I mix different types of Ultra modules in the UT9164 frame?
A: Yes. The frame accepts any compatible Comelit Ultra module — video intercoms, audio units, or relay modules can be combined in the same frame, allowing you to customize the function mix for your installation.
Q: Is the UT9164 suitable for outdoor installation?
A: No. The UT9164 is designed for flush mounting in interior drywall. For outdoor entry points, use weatherproof Comelit enclosures rated for your climate zone.
Q: Can I install the UT9164 in a retrofit application?
A: Yes, provided your wall cavity depth and framing accommodate the frame dimensions. Confirm with the manufacturer's installation guide, and verify that existing Comelit wiring reaches the new location.
Q: Does the UT9164 require additional power or wiring beyond the modules themselves?
A: The frame itself is passive — it requires no separate power. Power and signal come from the Ultra modules and their connections to the Comelit control system.
Q: Is there a maximum or minimum number of modules I must install in the UT9164?
A: No. You can install one, two, three, or four modules. Empty slots can be fitted with blank covers to maintain a finished appearance.
Q: What finishes or colors are available for the UT9164 frame?
A: Consult your distributor or the manufacturer for available finish options. Standard specifications assume a neutral trim that blends with common wall finishes.

The Comelit UT9164 is a straightforward accessory that solves a real integration headache: how to mount four intercom or access modules cleanly without pepperring your walls with separate boxes. In retrofit residential and small commercial work, this frame cuts installation labor and keeps cable runs organized inside a single cavity.
Technical Highlights:
- 4-Module Consolidation: One wall cavity, up to four independent channels — reduces wall penetrations by 75% compared to individual single-module mounting, which matters in retrofit work where drywall patching and finish matching is a cost driver.
- Passive Design: No active components or integrated logic — it's a mounting structure only. This means zero additional failure points, and power/signal routing stays under control of the individual Ultra modules and the main Comelit control unit.
- Flush-Mount Profile: Accepts interior drywall cavities without protruding beyond the wall surface, making it suitable for spaces where appearance matters — multifamily residential, office corridors, and guest-facing commercial areas.
Deployment Considerations:
- Wall Cavity Depth is Critical: Verify your wall framing can accommodate the frame depth before ordering. Thin walls or concrete block installations may require surface-mount alternatives or cavity enlargement.
- Comelit Ultra Dependency: This frame only works with Ultra modules. If your site has legacy Comelit Gen1/Gen2 hardware or requires third-party module brands, the UT9164 won't integrate — confirm module lineups early in design.
- Blank Covers Recommended: If you populate fewer than four slots, obtain matching blanks to maintain finished appearance. Without them, empty slots look incomplete and may create dust ingress paths.
Best fit: multifamily residential buildings, office suites, and small commercial facilities where you need two to four entry points (lobby, package room, back-of-house) and want to avoid the visual clutter of multiple wall boxes. Skip this if you're deploying more than eight modules across a site — at that scale, you'll benefit from a larger panel-mount or distributed frame strategy.
