Aiphone RY-ES External Signaling Relay Instruction Manual

Introducció

The Aiphone RY-ES is an external signaling relay designed to enhance the functionality of select Aiphone audio and video intercom systems. This device allows for the activation of an external device, such as a chime, light, or other signaling mechanism, when the intercom's door station initiates a call. It provides a reliable interface for integrating your intercom system with other building automation or notification systems.

Instal·lació i Configuració

Follow these steps for proper installation of the RY-ES external signaling relay.

1. Muntatge de la unitat

The RY-ES can be surface mounted directly to a wall or mounted to a standard 1-gang electrical box or ring.

1. Choose a suitable mounting location near your intercom system and the external device to be triggered.
2. If mounting to a 1-gang box, align the RY-ES unit with the box and secure it using the provided screws.
3. If surface mounting, mark the desired screw locations on the wall using the unit as a template. Drill pilot holes if necessary and insert wall anchors. Secure the unit to the wall using the provided screws.

2. Connexions de cablejat

Ensure all power is disconnected before making any wiring connections.

• Open the RY-ES unit to access the internal wiring space and screw terminals.
• Connect the appropriate wires from your Aiphone intercom system to the designated input terminals on the RY-ES. Refer to your specific intercom system's manual for output signal details.
• Connect the external device (e.g., chime, light) to the normally open (NO) contact terminals of the RY-ES. Ensure the external device's power supply is correctly integrated and isolated if necessary.
• Secure all wire connections firmly using the screw terminals.
• Close the RY-ES unit cover securely.

Funcionament

Once properly installed and wired, the Aiphone RY-ES operates automatically.

• When a visitor initiates a call from the door station of your compatible Aiphone intercom system, the intercom sends a signal to the RY-ES unit.
• Upon receiving this signal, the RY-ES activates its internal relay, closing the normally open contacts.
• This closure completes the circuit for the connected external device, causing it to activate (e.g., a chime sounds, a light turns on).
• The external device will remain activated for the duration of the signal from the intercom system, or as configured by the external device itself.

Manteniment

The Aiphone RY-ES is designed for minimal maintenance. Follow these guidelines to ensure optimal performance:

• Neteja: Periodically wipe the exterior of the unit with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Inspecció: Annually inspect wiring connections to ensure they remain secure. Check for any signs of wear or damage to the unit or its housing.
• Protecció del medi ambient: Ensure the unit remains protected from conditions beyond its weather-resistant rating.

Resolució de problemes

If the external device is not activating as expected, consider the following troubleshooting steps:

• Sense activació:
  • Verify that the intercom door station is functioning correctly and sending a call signal.
  • Check all wiring connections to the RY-ES from both the intercom and the external device. Ensure they are secure and correctly terminated.
  • Confirm that the external device itself is powered and operational when connected directly (bypassing the RY-ES).
  • Ensure the RY-ES is receiving the correct signal voltage/type from the intercom system.
• Activació intermitent:
  • Inspect for loose wiring connections or damaged insulation.
  • Check for any interference from other electrical devices.

If issues persist after performing these steps, contact Aiphone technical support or a qualified installer.
