System Overview

The Sahara is a dry contact device equipped with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity. This enables the Yale Access app to send commands to an electric strike connected to a Garage Door Opener (GDO) or Gate automation device.

The system includes a wireless Door Position Sensor (DPS) that informs the end user about the current state (open/closed) of the gate or garage door.

By using both the Sahara device and the wireless DPS, users gain the ability to control access to their garage or gate and monitor the door's status remotely.

Diagram Description: The system diagram illustrates the Sahara device connected to a Power Supply Unit (PSU) providing 12-24V DC. It features two relays (Relay 1 and Relay 2) for controlling electric strikes on two doors, with options for Normally Open (NO) or Normally Closed (NC) configurations. A Strike Relay is also present. The device connects wirelessly to a Wi-Fi network and communicates with a Wireless DPS. The Wireless DPS detects the state of the gate or garage door. The Dry Contact Controller is also shown, facilitating wired connections for exit devices like Door 1 and Door 2, which can be activated by approach or pressure.

Hardware Installation and Application

This section details the installation and application process for both Gate Automation devices and Garage Door Openers.

Installation for Gate Automation

1. Step One: Power down the Gate Automation device to prevent electrical interference and ensure safety.
2. Step Two: Connect the wires from the Sahara's 'NO' (Normally Open) and 'Com1' ports, along with the power supply (5V/24V), to the corresponding ports on the Gate Automation device. The specific port locations may vary by automation device; a wiring compatibility checker within the Yale Access app and on the website will provide guidance.
3. Step Three: Once installation is complete, power up the Gate Automation device. Verify that the LED light on the Sahara illuminates, indicating power is available.
4. Step Four: Power the Wireless DPS and attach it to the gate door. Secure the included magnet to the gate pillar. This setup allows the Yale Access app to accurately report the gate's state.
5. Step Five (Optional): For users with a 'request for exit' switch, connect it to the 'rex1' or 'rex2' ports on the Sahara. This enables opening and closing the gate directly via the switch.

Gate Application Steps

1. Step One: Remove the Sahara device from its packaging.
2. Step Two: Download the Yale Access App from your device's app store.
3. Step Three: Scan the QR code provided on the Sahara and Wireless DPS devices. This initiates the registration process within the Yale Access app and connects the devices to your Wi-Fi network.
4. Step Four: Proceed with hardware installation. The Yale Access app will guide you through a step-by-step process for installing the Sahara, Wireless DPS, and magnet on a generic Gate Automation device. Refer to the hardware installation section for detailed instructions.
5. Step Five: Test the functionality of the device after completing the Sahara hardware installation.
6. Step Six: End users can now utilize the Sahara to open or close their gate.

Installation for Garage Door Openers

1. Step One: Power down the Garage Door Opener to avoid electrical hazards.
2. Step Two: Connect the wires from the Sahara's 'NO' (Normally Open) and 'Com1' ports, along with the power supply (5V/24V), to the relevant ports on the garage door opener. The Yale Access app and website offer a wiring compatibility checker for specific device port locations.
3. Step Three: Power up the garage door opener. Confirm that the Sahara's LED light turns on, signifying power availability.
4. Step Four: Power the Wireless DPS and attach it to the interior of the garage door. This allows the app to monitor the garage door's status.
5. Step Five (Optional): If a 'request for exit' switch is present in the garage, connect it to the 'rex1' or 'rex2' ports on the Sahara. This allows for direct control of the garage door via the switch.

Garage Application Steps

1. Step One: Remove the Sahara device from its packaging.
2. Step Two: Download the Yale Access App.
3. Step Three: Scan the QR code on the Sahara and Wireless DPS devices to begin the registration process on the Yale Access app and connect to Wi-Fi.
4. Step Four: Begin hardware installation. The Yale Access app provides a step-by-step guide for installing the Sahara on a generic garage door opener.
5. Step Five: Test the device's operation after the Sahara hardware installation is complete.
6. Step Six: Users can now use the Sahara to open or close their garage door.
