Wiring Diagram


 

Parts required

These can all be bought from ProVu

    • Any ProTalk CityLine or SkyLine IP door entry kit

 

    • A 12Volt “fail-safe” electronic door strike (max 350mA)

 

    • A “push to break” exit switch

 

    • “VHLD” – Very Handy Little Delay board

 

Notes

  • Ensure the exit switch is push-to-break, not push-to-make, or this will not work
  • If an emergency break glass is needed, connect this in series with the normal exit switch
  • The Door Entry unit cannot supply more than 350mA from the 12Vout connector, do not attempt to use a door lock which will draw more power or you will damage the door entry unit (and void the warranty!). If you have a more powerful door lock then a separate power supply must be used (which I’ll draw a diagram for soon).
  • 12Vin is not shown connected as you can power the whole device & circuit from either this or Power-over-Ethernet.
  • You can adjust the amount of time the door is unlocked for by setting the “delay” potentiometer on the VHLD board, anti-clockwise increases the delay.

I will be drawing a series of these diagrams to suit various scenarios so keep checking here for more.
