Akuvox SR01 is a secure relay module that moves the lock relay from the door phone to the safe side of the door. The door phone talks to it over an encrypted RS485 link, so removing or damaging the outdoor station cannot release the lock. Fits standard installation boxes, 12 V powered.
- ✓Keeps the lock relay inside, away from the outdoor door phone
- ✓Encrypted RS485 link — tampering with the door station will not open the door
- ✓1 relay, 1 input, pairing button, 2 indicators · 31 × 56 × 24 mm
- ✓Works with Akuvox X916, X915, X912, R29, R28, R27, R20, E18 and E16
Pull the door phone off the wall — the door stays shut.
The lock relay lives inside.
The AK-SR01 is Akuvox’s SR01 secure relay. Normally the lock is wired to the door phone’s own relay on the outside of the building. The SR01 moves that relay to the secure side and links it to the door phone with encrypted RS485, closing off a common way to force a door.
This SKU is the relay module only.
You receive the SR01 module. The door phone, lock, lock power supply and exit button are sold separately.
- Akuvox SR01 secure relay module
- Diode for the lock circuit
- Compatible Akuvox door phone (X916, X915, X912, R29, R28, R27, R20K, R20B, R20A, E18 or E16)
- 12 V DC supply — at least 0.6 A if the SR01 also powers the lock
- Twisted-pair cable for RS485 (up to 300 m)
- Electric strike or maglock (30 V DC maximum on the relay)
- Standard installation box on the secure side
Close the gap behind the door station.
If someone removes an outdoor door phone and bridges its relay wires, an ordinary install opens. With the SR01 the lock wiring never leaves the building, and the module only obeys commands from its paired door phone.

Security
Encrypted, paired and out of reach.
The SR01 sits on the secure side of the door and takes encrypted commands over RS485 from its paired Akuvox door phone.
If the door station is removed or vandalised, nothing outside connects to the lock, so the door stays shut.
Install
Small enough for a standard box.
At 31 × 56 × 24 mm it fits inside most standard installation boxes near the door.
It has one relay for the lock, one input for an exit button, one RS485 port, a pairing button and two indicators. Indoor use, −20 °C to +60 °C.

Compatibility
Works with Akuvox door phones.
Akuvox lists the X916, X915, X912, R29, R28, R27, R20K, R20B, R20A, E18 and E16 as compatible.
Power it from 12 V DC with at least 100 mA available.
How it works
From door phone to secure lock.
01
Place
Fit the SR01 in an installation box on the secure side of the door.
02
Wire
Connect RS485 to the door phone, 12 V DC power, the lock circuit to the relay, and an exit button to the input.
03
Pair
Use the pairing button to pair the SR01 with its door phone, then set the door phone to use it for unlocking.
04
Test
Unlock from the door phone and the exit button, and confirm the indicators.

Answers
Common questions
Why use a secure relay?
It keeps the lock relay inside the building. If the outdoor door phone is removed or damaged, the connection to the strike is cut and the door stays locked.
How does it connect to the door phone?
Over an encrypted RS485 link on twisted-pair cable up to 300 m, after pairing with the button on the module.
Which door phones work with it?
Akuvox X916, X915, X912, R29, R28, R27, R20K, R20B, R20A, E18 and E16.
Can it power the lock?
Yes, small locks. When linked to the door phone over RS485 it provides 12 V DC up to 0.5 A; use a 12 V adapter of at least 0.6 A. The relay switches locks up to 30 V DC, and a diode is supplied for the lock circuit.
How is it powered?
From 12 V DC with at least 100 mA available, or at least 0.6 A if it also powers the lock.
Can it go outdoors?
No. It is an indoor module meant for the secure side of the door, small enough (31 × 56 × 24 mm) for a standard installation box.
Secure door release.
Add an SR01 to any compatible Akuvox door phone that releases a door from an exposed position.
Installation & safety notice
Low-voltage product (SELV). Power from a 12 V DC supply (100 mA minimum). Treat as SELV low-voltage equipment.
When a licensed tradesperson is required. Concealed data and intercom cabling is customer cabling under AS/CA S009 and must be installed by an ACMA-registered cabler. Electric locks, maglocks and lock power supplies may require a licensed electrician or security installer.
