Add an external audible or visual notification device to a compatible Aiphone intercom system with the Aiphone RY-ES External Signaling Relay.

The RY-ES activates its relay output whenever the connected Aiphone door station places a call, allowing the intercom system to trigger an external bell, buzzer, chime, light, strobe, or other compatible signaling device.

It connects to the call/chime output of a compatible Aiphone answering or master station and shares power with the intercom system.

How the RY-ES Works

When a visitor presses the call button on a compatible Aiphone door station, the associated answering or master station activates the RY-ES.

The relay then closes its output contact, allowing a separately powered external device to activate.

Typical signaling devices include:

• Bells

• Buzzers

• Chimes

• Strobes

• Indicator lights

• Remote audible alarms

• Building notification equipment

The connected external device must have its own appropriate power source unless the application specifically allows otherwise.

External Signaling Applications

The RY-ES is useful when the normal intercom chime cannot be heard throughout a facility.

Typical applications include:

• Warehouses

• Manufacturing areas

• Maintenance departments

• Large commercial offices

• Reception areas

• Loading docks

• Schools

• Healthcare facilities

• Security offices

• Noisy environments

An external horn, bell, or light can provide additional notification when a visitor calls from the entrance.

Compatible Aiphone Systems

Aiphone currently lists the RY-ES for call-extension applications with compatible:

• JP Series

• JO Series

• JV Series

• KB Series

• AX Series

• NIM Series

• DB Series

• IE Series

Compatibility and wiring vary by system.

Always follow the wiring diagram for the specific Aiphone master or answering station being used.

JO, JP & JV Series Applications

The RY-ES can be used with compatible modern Aiphone video intercom systems including:

• JO Series

• JP Series

• JV Series

When the door station calls, the RY-ES can activate a remote signaling device elsewhere in the building.

This is useful when personnel may not always be located near the main answering station.

AX Series Application

The RY-ES can connect to the external signaling/chime output of compatible AX Series master stations.

Common legacy AX equipment includes:

• AX-8M

• AX-8MV

• AX-8MV-W

In these applications, the RY-ES allows the AX system to trigger an external signaling device whenever an entrance call is received.

Relay Contact Rating

The external signaling contacts are rated:

125VAC: 1A Maximum
30VDC: 1A Maximum

Always verify that the connected signaling device does not exceed the relay contact rating.

For devices with higher electrical loads, use the RY-ES to control an appropriately rated secondary relay or interface.

Important Power Note

The RY-ES uses power supplied or shared by the compatible Aiphone intercom system.

Power requirements are:

DC: 12–30VDC
AC: 12–16VAC

The external signaling device may require its own separate power supply.

Important Compatibility Note

The RY-ES is intended as an external signaling relay, not as a high-current electric-lock relay.

For door-release applications involving electric strikes or magnetic locks, use the appropriate Aiphone door-release relay or adaptor specified for the system.

Ideal Applications

• Commercial offices

• Warehouses

• Manufacturing facilities

• Schools and universities

• Healthcare facilities

• Government buildings

• Reception entrances

• Loading docks

• Security stations

• Video intercom systems

• Audio intercom systems

• External bell or strobe notification
