Connection between Outdoor panel and gate opener:

Connect the door station dry contact output (COM & NO) to the motorisation electronic dry contact input. It is best to consult the gate motorisation instructions to connect the door station to the key contact input on the motorisation. Use two wires, 0.75 mm² minimum.

Connection to a Somfy gate opener:

Note: When the motorisation is solar-powered, the wired controls are deactivated. In this case, you must use the monitor's wireless control to control your gate motorisation.

Connection between Outdoor panel and electric latch/lock:

Connect the door station electric latch output (L+ & L-) to the lock in accordance with the diagram opposite.

Observe the +/- polarity if indicated in the latch/lock instructions. Use two wires, 0.75 mm² minimum.

The different types of electric strikes

There are several types of electric strikes, including:

Fail-secure electric strikes: These types of electric strikes are locked when power is not applied.

Fail-safe electric strikes: These types of electric strikes are unlocked when power is not applied.

Hold-open electric strikes: The strike is unlocked when an electric current is applied to it, and remain unlocked until it is used.

Only Fail-secure and Hold-open electric strikes are compatible with our video doorphones.
