Note: All common inputs are connected together.
Example of input wiring: 
The inputs are seen out of alarm when they are closed. They are seen in alarm when they are open (Positive security).
* LEDs status L1, L2 et L3:
| L1: green | Operating mode | OFF: Radio Mode ON: RS485 Mode (unused in SORADIO) | LEDs active only if BLE is activated after a short press on the tamper |
| L2: orange | Radio configuration status | Blinking: Radio mode not configured ON: Radio mode configured | |
| L3: red | BLE status | OFF: BLE deactivated Blinking: BLE active waiting for connection ON: BLE active connected to the application | |
Maximum length of 12V DC power supply cables: (cable type SYT1 shielded)
| Wire | Wire section | Maximum length of cables | |||
| 0.6 mm | 0.02 in | 0.3 mm² | 23 AWG | 500 m | 0.31 mi |
| 0.9 mm | 0.04 in | 0.6 mm² | 20 AWG | 1124 m | 0.7 mi |
| 1.4 mm | 0.06 in | 1.5 mm² | 16 AWG | 2506 m | 1.56 mi |
Note: When using the same cable to supply power to several components, the indicated distances should be divided by the number of connected components. When using several wires with the same section in parallel by polarity, the indicated distances should be multiplied by the number of connected wires.
SMARTPHONE APPLICATION
Note: The smartphone application is compatible from Android 4.1 or higher.
- Download the smartphone application “Sorhea Connect”.
- Launch application “Sorhea Connect”. Authorize activation of Bluetooth if requested to do so by the application.
- Press the tamper switch very briefly (1s) to activate the BLE connection of the SORADIO.
Note: the connection remains active as long as the SORADIO is connected to the smartphone application. It is deactivated when the cover is closed (tamper closed) or after 1 minute of inactivity (application closed).
- Launch the search.
Click on the product found.
