  • Standards: RoHS II - 2011/65/UE and EMC 2014/30/UE.

Frequently asked questions

What does the 1256 actually do?

It gives a Simplebus system 1 extra relay output. The relay has C-NO-NC contacts, and the function it performs is set by programming.

What can the relay switch?

Up to 10A max at 12÷24 VAC/VDC. Check that the load you plan to switch sits within that rating.

Does it need its own power supply?

Yes. It takes an external power supply of 12 VAC or 20 VDC, with 0.6 W absorption.

Which Simplebus systems does it work with?

Audio Simplebus 1, audio Simplebus 2 with power supply art. 1210/1210A, audio/video Simplebus 2 with art. 4888C or 1210/1210A, and the Simplebus 2 audio/video kit with art. 1209.

How is it programmed?

Follow the indications given in the technical documentation for the function required.

Comelit 1256 intercom relay, front view

Comelit Intercom Relay, Simplebus 1 and 2 Actuator, 10A, DIN Rail 1256

Overview

An actuator is a device that switches something when told to. In a door entry system, it lets a call or command from the line operate a separate circuit through a relay, which is a switch worked by a small signal.

This one is an intelligent Simplebus device with a relay on board. It is one of the smaller intercom and door entry accessories, and it adds a function a system does not have by default.

How it works

  • On the line: it can be used in Simplebus systems, and the function it performs is set by programming.
  • Relay contacts: C is the common terminal, NO is normally open and NC is normally closed. Wire to NO for a circuit that closes when the relay operates, or NC for one that opens.
  • Separate supply: the unit runs from an external power supply, not from the relay circuit it switches.

What the figures mean in practice

  • Contact rating: 10A max at 12÷24 VAC/VDC is the limit for the switched circuit. Mains loads sit outside that voltage range, so they would need a further device.
  • Absorption: 0.6 W is small, but include it when adding up the load on the supply.
  • Environment: the operating range is -10 to 40 °C and 25 to 95% RH max, so an enclosure indoors or in a dry plant space is the natural home.

Installing it

It is DIN rail mounted and needs 4 DIN modules. The equipment includes a terminal, art. 1214/2C.

Follow the technical documentation for wiring and programming the function you need. As a rule, isolate supplies before working on any terminals.

Planning your system

The system's power supply decides the fit. Audio/video Simplebus 2 goes with 4888C or 1210/1210A, and audio Simplebus 2 goes with 1210/1210A, including the 1210A power supply unit.

The Simplebus 2 audio/video kit uses the art. 1209 power supply. Audio Simplebus 1 is also covered.

The job also needs the external 12 VAC or 20 VDC supply and the device being switched. Browse door entry and intercom systems for the wider range.
