Configure SR01 Security Relay on Akuvox Door Phones

SR01 security relay can enhance access security. Generally, a lock is directly connected to the door phone relay. Someone may smash up the door phone and break into the door for illegal purposes like burglary. SR01 can prevent such malicious break-ins because it is installed indoors and controls the door opening directly. In this case, even if the door phone is destroyed, the door cannot be opened.

The following door phone and access control models with corresponding firmware versions support connecting to SR01:

Wiring

You may refer to the following two videos for wiring.

Note

E12 has to be connected with SR01 in an exceptional way because it does not have RS485 ports.

It is NOT recommended to use such a connection due to security.

Configuration on Web Interface

In this part, the door phone X912 is taken as an example. 

The routes to configure the security relay feature may vary by model. Please refer to this chart.

Connect Akuvox SR01 to Door Phone (with 12V Output)

1. Log into the door phone's web interface with the username and password. The default is admin.

2. Go to Access Control > Relay > Security Relay.

3. Tick the Enabled box of Security Relay A since we have connected the door phone and the security relay via relay A port.

• Trigger Delay: set the trigger delay time if needed. If you set it as 5 seconds, then the relay will not be triggered until 5 seconds after you press the Unlock tab. The default is 0 meaning triggering relay right after you press the Unlock tab.

• Hold Delay: set the hold delay time if needed. If you set it as 5 seconds, then the relay will be delayed for 5 seconds after the door is unlocked.

4. Scroll down to 12V Power Output and select Security Relay A in Power Output Type.

5. Click Submit to save the configuration.
