Thanks for this. Are there any guidelines for controlling 16VAC or 24VAC door strikes with the X915 or X912?
I have read elsewhere that one should install an MOV (Metal Oxide Varistor) much in the same way that the diode is used in DC circuits.
Hi cnolley,
Are you going to connect the lock, there is a video teaching you how to install the diode in the link below. https://knowledge.akuvox.com/doc ... c-door-locks-wiring
This video only applies to locks using DC power. I note that the document that lists power specs for the various door phones only lists DC as an option for the x915 and x912 as well as the other newer phones. There have been a lot of problems reported with connecting to AC powered door strikes though some older devices show AC as supported. Please advise regarding how to connect to AC powered locks. The supplied diodes are only relevant for DC.
