Magnetic connector charging
- Connect the magnetic connector of the dedicated USB cable to the magnetic connector at the side of the lock and plug the USB connector in to a (mobile phone) DC6V charger.
Cable charging
- Cable charging is done by connecting a dedicated 6P conversion cable to the solar panel (DC6V stabilized output) or connecting a dedicated USB charging cable to charge the lock with a DC6V charger.
Sound And LED Indicator
It is typical, can be different based on system integration.
Sound indicator
| Status | Beep Action |
| RFID card read | Beep twice |
| Received an OTA | Beep twice |
| Unlock CMD received | Beep once |
| Report unlocking success | Beep once |
| Alarm | Parameters can be configured |
LED indicator
| Status | LED indicator |
| RFID card read | Green – blink twice |
| During OTA | Red – steady |
| Received OTA | White – blink twice |
| OTA success | Blue – steady for 3 seconds |
| OTA failed | Blue & red – alternating for 3 |
| Receive unlock CMD | Green – blink once |
