Selti and Videx Technical Compatibility: Models, Wiring and Diagrams
Replacing a Selti door entry or video door entry device with a Videx device requires an assessment of the existing system configuration. The model, wiring, power supply and call type are all factors that should be evaluated before choosing a replacement device.
Selti and Videx: Compatibility Does Not Depend on the Model Alone
When an old Selti device stops working or needs to be replaced, it is not enough to compare only the external appearance of the two devices. Compatibility depends primarily on the technical configuration of the system.
On some Selti systems, it may be possible to use Videx devices while retaining part of the existing infrastructure. This does not mean that every Selti system is automatically compatible: compatibility must be assessed on a case-by-case basis.
Important: compatibility must be verified based on the actual system configuration. The device model, number of conductors, presence of coaxial cable, power supply and call type can all affect the available solution.
What to Check Before Replacing the Device
Before identifying a Videx device compatible with a Selti system, it is useful to collect some technical information.
- exact model of the Selti door entry or video door entry device;
- model of the power supply and any modules present;
- number and function of the conductors used;
- presence of coaxial cable for the video signal, if applicable;
- type of call used by the system;
- presence of a buzzer or electronic call;
- configuration of the external entrance panel;
- any switchboards or intermediate devices.
This information helps determine whether it is possible to replace only the device or whether it is advisable to consider upgrading other system components as well.
Selti Wiring: Why Identifying It Is Important
Selti systems can use different configurations. Some systems may be based on traditional connections, while others may use video configurations with additional conductors or coaxial cable.
The number of wires alone is not sufficient. To assess a replacement, it is also necessary to understand the function of each conductor and the type of system being used.
For this reason, before choosing a Videx device, it is advisable to check the system diagram or provide photographs of the device, terminals and power supply.
Some Selti Configurations That May Require Specific Assessment
Documentation and replacement requests may refer to Selti models such as SUC411, SUC431, SLV316, SLV850 and SLV120. However, the presence of a model number alone is not enough to automatically determine which Videx device should be used.
Selti systems with 4+1 configurations and systems using a coaxial video signal must also be assessed in relation to the components actually installed in the system.
| Element to Check | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| Selti Model | Helps identify the original system configuration. |
| Wiring | Makes it possible to verify the available functions and connections. |
| Power Supply | Determines the system's voltage and power supply requirements. |
| Call Type | It is necessary to determine whether the device uses a buzzer or electronic call. |
| Video Signal | For video door entry systems, the type of transmission used must be verified. |
When It May Be Possible to Replace the Device Without Rewiring
With some configurations, it may be possible to use a compatible Videx device while retaining the existing wiring. This is one of the situations where a compatibility assessment can be particularly useful before considering more extensive work on the system.
Tuttavia, la possibilità di mantenere il cablaggio non può essere stabilita in modo generico per tutti gli impianti Selti. Servono il modello del sistema, lo schema disponibile e, quando necessario, fotografie dei collegamenti.
L’obiettivo della verifica è individuare la soluzione tecnicamente compatibile con la configurazione esistente, evitando sostituzioni non necessarie.
Alimentazione e componenti dell’impianto
Another element to check is the power supply. When replacing a Selti device with a Videx product, it is not sufficient to check only the indoor unit: the power supply and other connected components must also be considered.
However, the possibility of retaining the existing wiring cannot be determined generically for all Selti systems. The system model, available diagram and, when necessary, photographs of the connections are required.
An Example of a Videx Device to Consider
Il Videx 3412R is a device that may be considered for certain configurations, particularly when features such as buzzer call need to be assessed.
Compatibility with a Selti system must nevertheless be verified before replacement.

Purchasing a video door entry device based solely on its appearance or the number of wires can lead to choosing a device that is not suitable for the existing configuration.
A preliminary assessment, on the other hand, makes it possible to determine whether replacing only the indoor unit is sufficient, whether the power supply needs to be changed, or whether a more extensive system upgrade should be considered.
For this reason, ExSelti provides assessment of the existing configuration and identification of compatible devices, together with technical support when choosing the most suitable solution. valutazione della configurazione esistente e della ricerca del dispositivo compatibile, fornendo supporto tecnico nella scelta della soluzione.
Frequently Asked Questions About Selti and Videx Compatibility
No. Compatibility depends on the system configuration, the Selti model, the wiring, the power supply, the call type and any video system present.
In some configurations, yes, but this must be verified on a case-by-case basis. It is not correct to determine compatibility based solely on the number of wires.
It is useful to provide the Selti device model, photographs of the indoor unit, terminals and power supply and, if available, the system diagram. This information makes it possible to assess the existing configuration.
Not necessarily. Before considering a complete system replacement, it is possible to check whether the problem concerns the device itself and whether a compatible solution is available that allows the existing system to be upgraded.
