Installation of the device with protective canopy

The device may be powered in two ways:

1. Power supply 12V DC (+/- 10%) 1A LPS (not included)
2. PoE (Power over Ethernet) PSE 48V

Both powering modes work in parallel and may be connected at the same time with no effect on the device operation.

The device may be connected to network in two different ways:

1. Ethernet – wired connection (recommended)
2. Wi-Fi – wireless connection

Before routing the wires make sure what you want to connect and how many wires you will need:

1. Power supply 12V DC – used to power the device with external power supply.
   Wires required: 2
2. Ethernet – used for communication with the device and can be also used to power it using PoE Power over Ethernet.
   Wires required: 1 twisted pair cable with 8 wires
3. Built-in relays – can be used to open 2 gates or doors with an electric lock (via app, BLE proximity function, PIN code or physical buttons).
   Wires required: 2 wires per one gate/door
4. Two buttons for built-in relays – can be used to control built-in relay using physical buttons, switches etc.
   Wires required: 1 wire per one button and 1 wire for common ground
5. Tamper – can be connected to an external system to alarm it in case of sabotage attempt.
   Wires required: 2

When routing wires take into consideration:

• The installation wires of the unit must be lead separately from the mains power wires to prevent the transmission interference and overvoltage on the control lines.
• Wires inside the installation boxes should be as short as possible to prevent curling the wires and allow for easy assembling of the in-wall part.
• Installation wires should be carried securely and not visible from the outside, preventing from the interference by unauthorized person.
• Recommended Ethernet cable for network connection is a twisted pair cable CAT-5e. The maximum cable length is 100 meters.
• Other inputs should be connected using the solid-core wires with cross-section from 0.14 to 0.34 mm2 (26…22 AWG). Connectors are also capable of connecting stranded wires.
• Close vicinity of mains (110V/230V) electrical wires may cause deterioration of the transmission through the Internet and potential noise on the inputs.

Before installation pay attention to:

• Installation box must be mounted using the materials which will not cause the tension that could deform the shape of a box after the installation (e.g. by expanding).
• Mounting in the drywall requires using screws with hooks (not included).
• Mounting in the insulation-filled wall (e.g. drywall with mineral wool) requires to keep at least 10cm distance from the insulation to prevent the device from overheating.

To install the box:

1. Prepare hole for 65mm x 75mm (diameter x depth) installation box.
2. Route cables to the back of the hole (see “Choosing and routing wires”).
3. Drag the cables through the rubber sealing on the back of the box, taking care to keep the tightness.
4. Mount the box in the hole and align it so the TOP arrow points up.
5. Make sure the box is flush with the wall and firmly attached.

Before installation of the canopy, ensure that:

• the installation box is correctly mounted
• the mounting location is properly finished
• two M4 screws are included, necessary for mounting

1. Attach the frame of the canopy to the wall so that its opening matches the installation box. The canopy should allow free access to the installation box.
2. Turn the frame so that the canopy is parallel to the ground.
3. Screw the screws into the holes so that the canopy remains in a stable position.
   

To install the in-wall part:

1. Use a screwdriver to unscrew the small screw that secures the masking cap labelled with FIBARO logo.
2. Drag the wires through the hole located on the right of the in-wall part.
3. Place the in-wall part of the device inside the installation box.
4. Using three attached screws fasten the part with the box, make sure it is aligns properly and adjoins the wall.

To connect the wires:

1. Make sure that no wires are powered.
2. Remove the outer insulation to expose about 5 cm of the insulated inner wires, taking care not to damage them.
   
3. Separate and straighten the inner wires if twisted.
4. Cut the inner wires to 4 cm in length.
   
5. Remove the insulation from the inner wires to leave about 5 mm of exposed metal core on each wire.
   
6. Put the wires inside the terminals using long-nose pliers or tweezers according to diagrams below.
7. Make sure all wires are firmly attached.
