Wiring / Installing
Wi-Fi Signal Range: Certain materials can reduce the Wi-Fi signal's reach. It may be necessary to move the control unit and accessories for better reception. The signal strength varies based on material:
- 100%: Clear field
- 80%: Wood, glass
- 60-70%: Plasterboard
- 50-70%: Stone
- 20-50%: Concrete
- <10%: Metal
The module must be installed indoors, either in the gate operator cabinet or in a watertight junction box.
C1 - Installation for sliding gates
Before installing the module, ensure the gate is in the closed position. Attach the magnet to the gate and the sensor to the operator. Maintain a gap of no more than 15 mm between the magnet and the sensor (they must not touch).
C2 - Installation for swing gates
Before installing the module, ensure the gate is in the closed position. Attach the sensor to one leaf of the gate and the magnet to the other leaf. Maintain a maximum gap of 15 mm between the magnets (they must not touch).
C3 - Installation for garage doors
Before installing the module, ensure the door is in the closed position. Attach the magnet at the bottom of the door and the sensor at the same level, facing the magnet. Maintain a maximum gap of 15 mm between the magnets (they must not touch).
Gate/Door Status Indication
The module uses the magnet and sensor to indicate whether the gate/door is closed or not.
- Gate / door OPEN: The sensor no longer detects the magnet. The application indicates the gate is not closed, which could mean it is fully open, partially open, or in the process of opening or closing.
- Gate / door CLOSED: The sensor detects the magnet. The application indicates the gate/door is fully closed.
IMPORTANT: The dry contact signal is the same for an opening or closing trip. The module will consider the last request based on the receiver's position to display information on the application. The gate/door may move in the opposite direction to the application's indication. It is important to wait for the application animation to complete to know the actual state of the gate/door.
