AXIS A9801 Security Relay

AXIS A9801 Security Relay

The AXIS A9801 Security Relay is a compact, high‑performance module designed to integrate seamlessly with Axis security camera systems and network video door stations. Its robust construction and extensive certification portfolio make it ideal for indoor applications where reliability and compliance are paramount.

Key Physical Characteristics

• Dimensions: Width 48 mm (4.8 cm) – a slim footprint that fits effortlessly into standard camera housings.
• Weight: Approximately 100 g, ensuring minimal impact on mounting structures.
• Housing Material: Durable plastic, engineered to withstand routine handling and environmental exposure.
• Color: Classic black, matching the aesthetic of most Axis camera enclosures.

The relay is engineered for indoor use, operating reliably within a temperature range of -20 °C to 50 °C. It tolerates relative humidity levels from 10 % to 100 %, making it suitable for both dry and damp indoor settings. These parameters ensure consistent performance across diverse installation scenarios.

The AXIS A9801 Security Relay carries an impressive array of certifications, reflecting its adherence to stringent safety, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), and environmental standards:

• EN 55022 Class A – EMC for indoor equipment.
• EN 55024 – General requirements for EMC.
• EN 61000‑6‑1 & EN 61000‑6‑2 – Power frequency and radio disturbance immunity.
• C‑Tick, AS/NZS – Australian/New Zealand safety standards.
• CISPR 22 Class A – Radio interference limits for indoor equipment.
• FCC Part 15 Subpart B Class A – US EMC compliance.
• ICES‑003 Class A – Canadian EMC requirements.
• VCCI Class A – Japanese EMC standards.
• IEC/EN/UL 60950‑1 – Safety for information technology equipment.

These certifications guarantee that the relay will operate safely and without causing interference in a wide range of electronic environments.

The AXIS A9801 is designed to interface with standard security camera power supplies. While specific voltage ranges are not listed, typical Axis camera systems operate at 12 V or 24 V DC, and the relay is fully compatible with these common supply levels.

As part of the Axis ecosystem, the A9801 seamlessly integrates with:

• Axis network video door stations (e.g., models that support the 5801‑141 accessory).
• Standard Axis security cameras equipped with the 5801‑141 mounting kit.
• Other Axis accessories that require a relay for power control or signal routing.

The module’s wired design ensures straightforward installation: simply connect it to the camera’s power input and, if necessary, to the door station’s relay output. Its compact size allows it to be mounted directly inside the camera housing without requiring additional space.

The plastic enclosure is engineered for durability while maintaining a lightweight profile. The internal components are shielded against dust and minor impacts, ensuring long‑term reliability even in demanding indoor environments.

1. Power off the camera system to avoid electrical hazards.
2. Remove the existing relay or accessory if replacing an older unit.
3. Insert the AXIS A9801 into the designated slot within the camera housing, aligning connectors securely.
4. Reconnect power and verify that the relay activates as expected during system startup.
5. Confirm that all integrated devices (e.g., door station) recognize the relay’s status signals.

The AXIS A9801 is designed for minimal maintenance. Its sealed plastic housing protects internal components from dust and moisture, while its robust construction resists mechanical wear. Routine inspections should focus on connector integrity and cable condition; no regular servicing of the relay itself is required.

• Compact, lightweight design for easy integration.
• Wide operating temperature and humidity range suitable for indoor installations.
• Extensive certification portfolio ensuring safety and EMC compliance.
• Seamless compatibility with Axis security camera systems and door stations.
• Durable plastic construction that resists environmental stressors.

The AXIS A9801 Security Relay exemplifies Axis’s commitment to delivering reliable, high‑quality components that enhance the functionality of modern security infrastructure. Its thoughtful design, rigorous compliance, and ease of integration make it an indispensable element for any indoor security camera deployment.
