Configure SR01 Security Relay on Akuvox Door Phones

The SR01 security relay improves access security by controlling door locks directly from indoors. Unlike traditional systems, where the lock is connected to the door phone’s 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 devices with specific firmware versions or higher 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.

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

Connect Akuvox SR01 to Door Phone (via RS485)

Configuration

This part takes the door phone X912 as an example.

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

1. Use the device IP to log into its web interface. The default username and password are admin.

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

3. Specify which relay is connected to the SR01 and check the Enabled box.

4. You can set the Trigger Delay and Hold Delay.

• Trigger Delay: If you choose 5 seconds, the relay will be triggered 5 seconds after you press the Unlock tab. 0 means immediate trigger.

• Hold Delay: If you choose 5 seconds, the relay will keep activated for 5 seconds after it is triggered.

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

6. Click Submit to save the configuration.

7. Run the test as shown in the video, or click Test of Security Relay A. 

When the green light of SR01 is flashing quickly, SR01 and the door phone are pairing successfully.

Connect Akuvox SR01 to Door Phone (via RS485)

1. Use the device IP to log into its web interface. The default username and password are admin.

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

3. Check the Enabled box of Security Relay B since the door phone and the security relay are connected via RS485 ports and Security Relay B's server mode is RS485.

4. You can set up Trigger Delay and Hold Delay.

• Trigger Delay: If you choose 5 seconds, the relay will be triggered 5 seconds after you press the Unlock tab. 0 means immediate trigger.

• Hold Delay: If you choose 5 seconds, the relay will keep activated for 5 seconds after it is triggered.

5. Click Submit to save the configuration.

Note
