Function and device overview
The Homematic IP Universal Lock
The controller is a device for controlling a motorized lock and is used in installations with permanently installed motorized lock drives in (house) entrance doors. To use the HmIP-FLC, the motorized lock must have a manufacturer-specific control unit that monitors all relevant technical parameters of the motorized lock. The HmIP-FLC is controlled via four inputs that can be used for different purposes.
The door status (open/closed or locked/unlocked) can be detected and switched between day/night mode using a button or switch. It is also possible to output an opening pulse at the touch of a button. There are two switching outputs for activating the motorized lock. The changeover contact is used to switch between day/night mode. The open collector output sends the switching pulse to the motorized lock.

- Selection of suitable tools, measuring equipment, and, if necessary, personal protective equipment;
- Evaluation of measuring results
- Selection of electrical installation material for safeguarding shut-off conditions;
IP protection types
- Installation of electrical installation material
- Type of supply network (TN system, IT system, TT system) and the resulting connection conditions (classic zero balancing, protective earthing, required additional measures, etc.).
- Installation may only take place in normal commercial switch boxes (device boxes) by DIN 49073-1.
- Please observe the hazard information in the section (see „3 Hazard information“ on page 16) during installation.
- To ensure electrical safety, all terminals are to be connected only with safety extra-low voltage (SELV).
- It is essential to ensure that all connecting cables are laid so that they are physically separate from cables carrying mains voltage (e.g. in separate cable ducts or wiring conduits).
- Permitted cable cross-sections for connecting to the device are:
- Rigid cable and flexible cable [mm2] 0.08 – 0.5 mm2
Installation
Proceed as follows to install the device in a flush-mounted box:
- Switch off the power supply unit.
- Connect the device according to the connecting diagram.
- Fix the controller to an appropriate flush-mounted box.
- Supply the device with voltage via the power supply unit provided to activate the device’s pairing mode.
- Possible application examples are shown below. Ow.
- Please refer to the operating instructions for your motorized lock for wiring instructions.
Door opening via the button
- A Floating button
- B Button with external voltage
- Input IN3 is normally used for the door-opening function. Alternatively, other access control systems with pulse outputs can also be used (code lock, RFID reader, wireless receiver).
Day/night switching via button/ switch
Day/night mode switching can also be triggered by a button or switch. The mode is changed automatically when a button is used (toggle function). A switch that specifies the mode by thethe corresponding position is normally used. This differs from the standard
configuration and must be set separately in the Homematic IP app. If the day/night mode is changed by time control or remote control, the position of the connected switch may not match the current mode. However, actuating the switch always results in a change to or continuation in the respective mode.
Door Status Detection
The open/closed door status can be detected with the IN1 input. Input IN2 detects the locked/unlocked status if installed. The corresponding signals for this must be provided by the motorized lock. Separate door/window contacts can also be used and connected to the HmIP-FLC.
Simple door opener
Connection of door openers with one signal input. When connecting the battery, ensure the correct polarity. e.g. compatible with Winkhaus blueMatic EAV3 and simple door openers
Common door opener and day/ night mode switching
Connection of door openers and locks with separate inputs for door opening and locking functions. e.g. compatible with MACO M-TS, Fuhr Multitronic 881
Separate door opener and day/ night mode switching
Connection of door openers with a locking function and only one signal input. e.g. compatible with Winkhaus blueMotion, Siegena GENIUS, Roto Eneo

Troubleshooting
Command not confirmed
If at least one receiver does not confirm a command, this may be caused by radio interference (see „11 General information about radio operation“ on page 24). The transmission error will be displayed in the app and may have the following causes:
- The receiver not be reached
- The receiver is unable to execute the command (load failure, mechanical blockade, etc.)
- Receiver is defective
Duty cycle
The duty cycle is a legally regulated limit of the transmission time of devices in the 868 MHz range. This regulation aims to safeguard the operation of all devices working in the 868 MHz range. In the 868 MHz frequency range we use, the maximum transmission time of any device is 1% of an hour (i.e. 36 seconds in an hour). Devices must cease transmission when they reach the 1% limit until this time restriction ends. Homematic IP devices are designed and produced with 100% conformity to this regulation.
During normal operation, the duty cycle is not usually reached.
However, repeated and radio-intensive pairing processes mean that it may be reached in isolated instances during the start-up or initial installation of a system. If the duty cycle is exceeded, this is indicated by three slow red flashes of the device LED (A) and may manifest itself in the device temporarily working incorrectly. The device starts working correctly again after a short period (max. 1 hour).

General information about radio operation
Radio transmission is performed on a non-exclusive transmission path, which means that there is a possibility of interference occurring. Interference can also be caused by switching operations, electrical motors, or defective electrical devices. The transmission range within buildings can differ significantly from that available in open space. Besides the transmitting power and the reception characteristics of the receiver, environmental factors such as humidity in the vicinitplaysay an important role, as do on-site structural/screening conditions.
