Door Entry

New remote relay module

by Mark Rowe

The door entry and intercom product company Videx has added a new remote relay module to its 4G GSM product, and the VX2300 door entry video intercom.

The new remote relays enable door and gate control to be isolated away from the entrance panel in a secure location, the developers say. The relays can be used for extra services such as triggering other door or gates, activating lighting or other functions requiring a relay for triggering purposes.

The Art.2813 relay module is now available for the company’s GSM range of systems and the Art.2313 is for the VX2300 two-wire video system. These new relays complement the remote relays already available for the VX2200 system (Art.2213) and the IPURE IP range (Art.2505).

Rhys McNichol, Project Manager at Videx UK, said: “The new relays make two of our most popular entry systems even more secure and enable them to be used for properties and buildings where a high level of security is required. The modules are essential for Secured by Design, the official police security initiative that works to improve the security of buildings and their immediate surroundings to provide safe places to live, work, shop and visit. The modules are a great addition to both systems, strengthening their versatility and ability to meet a wide range of entry requirements.”

The Art.2813 for the GSM range of intercoms comes in a wall-mountable small ABS plastic enclosure, powered from 12Vdc and includes a 3A dry contact change over relay output and two extra auxiliary outputs to control up to three outputs per module. All three outputs can each be programmed to operate from one to 63 seconds or in latch/toggle format. Also, there is a push to exit input included for the main relay. The module can be addressed from zero to 63 seconds and connects to the GSM system via RS485.

Addressing the module with the same address as an intercom panel, proximity door reader or coded keypad will enable the module to mirror that modules outputs. Addressing the module as a unique ID will allow that module to be used for other doors, gates that do not have a keypad, proximity reader or intercom. Outputs can then be triggered via the Videx GSM apps, free from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store or via text message.

The Art.2313 for the VX2300 two wire video systems and kits comes in a DIN mount box which can also be wall mounted and is powered from the bus. It includes two 5A dry contact change over relays which can be individually controlled. The relay operating times can be programmed from two to 32 seconds and the module can be addressed from one to 15 relating to the door ID the relay is mirroring.
