The Aiphone RY-ES External Signalling Relay is an intercom accessory designed to trigger a compatible external device when a call is made from an Aiphone door station. Compatible with specified Aiphone JO, JP, JK and JF Series systems, the RY-ES provides an external signalling output while the call button is being pressed, making it useful for integrating additional notification or signalling equipment with an Aiphone intercom installation.
The RY-ES is particularly useful where the standard intercom call indication needs to be supplemented by an external device. Depending on the overall system design and connected equipment, the relay output can be incorporated into applications requiring an additional signalling response when someone presses the intercom call button.
A key operational characteristic of the Aiphone RY-ES is that it only triggers while the door station call button is being pressed. It should therefore not be treated as a latching or extended-duration call notification output.

Designed as an Aiphone system accessory, the RY-ES provides installers with a straightforward way to add external signalling functionality to compatible JO, JP, JK and JF Series installations.

External Signalling Function
The Aiphone RY-ES allows a compatible external device to respond when a visitor presses the call button on the connected intercom system.
This can be useful where an additional indication of an incoming visitor call is required beyond the notification provided by the standard indoor intercom station.
The RY-ES should be incorporated into the system according to the required external device, electrical characteristics and Aiphone installation instructions.
Momentary Trigger Operation
An important characteristic of the RY-ES is its momentary operation. The external signalling function is active only for the period during which the intercom call button is physically being pressed.
For example, if a visitor briefly presses and releases the call button, the RY-ES output will correspond to that button-press period. Applications requiring a longer, timed or latched notification may therefore require additional compatible control equipment.
Compatibility
The Aiphone RY-ES is specified for use with compatible systems from the following Aiphone product families:
-
JO Series
-
JP Series
-
JK Series
-
JF Series
Compatibility should always be checked against the exact Aiphone intercom model and system configuration before installation.
Practical Use Scenarios
The Aiphone RY-ES is useful in residential properties where an additional external indication is required when a visitor presses the intercom call button.
In offices, reception areas, workshops, warehouses and other commercial environments, it can assist with integrating an additional signalling device into a compatible Aiphone intercom installation.
The RY-ES can also be considered for environments where the normal intercom call indication may not be sufficient on its own and an additional external signalling response is required.
Because the relay only operates while the call button is pressed, the intended external device and required signalling behaviour should be considered carefully during system design.
Installation Considerations
The RY-ES should be installed according to the Aiphone installation instructions and the electrical requirements of the connected external device.
Before installation, verify:
-
Exact Aiphone intercom system compatibility
-
External device electrical requirements
-
Required relay operation
-
Whether momentary call-button operation is suitable for the application
-
Whether additional relay, timer or control equipment is required
