tedee Smart Relay Module Instruction Manual

Tedee smart relay module is an additional accessory for your existing relay controller. The module is designed to secure your electronic door lock, garage gate, parking barrier, or any other devices that are unlocked with an electric signal.

Adding a Tedee smart relay module to your setup lets you control your devices from anywhere using our designated smartphone application.

Be aware that this module is not the relay controller; they are two separate devices.

Tedee smart relay module is wire-connected to a relay controller. It can also be accessed by a local Wi-Fi network and the internet to integrate with an online cloud platform. This allows you to have a remote and wireless smartphone control for your device– no matter the distance or location.

Cloud connection

Be aware that the Tedee smart relay module can only work if your smartphone is connected to the internet. The cloud connection requires permanent access to the module with an internet network.

If your relay controller cannot connect to a Wi-Fi network, then installing an additional mobile data Wi-Fi router (which may involve a monthly fee) is necessary.

Please note that short-distance Bluetooth or direct Wi-Fi connections are unavailable for local device control.

Furthermore, unlocking Tedee smart relay module also requires an internet connection from the smartphone. Be aware that if you are installing the relay controller for devices in locations without an internet connection, such as underground garages or closed corridors, you’ll have to find an internet connection to unlock it.

In addition, an electric unlocking button can be connected to the module

Preparation for installation

Setting up a Tedee smart relay module requires some technical knowledge. Follow the steps below to ensure the module is compatible with your hardware device.

Compatibility

Both DC and AC power the Tedee smart relay module with a voltage range of 12-24V. It supports relay openers supplied with a 230V and up to 5A current.

Relay controller’s location and approval for alteration

The module is installed inside the relay controller, which may be far from the device you wish to control. For example, the relay controller for a property’s fence gate may be installed in the garage, etc. The relay module is not installed directly at the gate, intercom, or on a door lock.

Wi-Fi ranges

After determining the relay controller’s location, you must confirm that this spot has a permanent internet –connection or Wi-Fi network access to work correctly.

The data transfer to and from the module and between the Wi-Fi is minimal, so the connection does not require a specific transfer speed. However, ensure the relay controller has a steady connection to an accessible wireless network and that you have its password or can access its configuration.

Installation tutorial

The installation process of the Tedee smart relay module involves an electronic connection, to connect it with the online cloud service, and then integrate the systems with the Tedee application. Simply follow the steps below.

Tedee smart relay module should be installed by qualified installers or electricians only.

Warning

Connect only following the diagram presented in this manual. Improper connections may be dangerous, damaging to the relay controller, and impact your warranty.

Danger! Risk of electric shock! Even with the device turned off, the outputs may still be live. All assembly work should ALWAYS be performed with the disconnected power circuit.

Connecting the device to a power supply that does not meet the quality requirements specified in EN 50081-1, EN 50082-1, UL508, and EN 60950 will impact the warranty

Preparation

Disconnect the installation supply voltage before installing the controller. Switch off the main fuse or disconnect the power cord from the main socket.

The controller should be installed in a place protected against adverse environmental conditions and third-party access. For example, in the flush box or inside the enclosure of the controlled device.

Remember, the metallic elements (wires, housing parts) may negatively influence the wireless connection of the device and its work. It’s recommended that the module is fixed in a steady position

Read the diagrams below, then proceed to install the relay module. Pay particular attention to the designation of the controller connectors

Connection

Start by connecting the +12V or +24V power wire (red or black with a white dotted line) to the VIN port and the ground (black) to the COM port.

Connect the electric bolt lock and electromagnetic lock circuit between the VIN and the NO or the NC output. Note the internal relay short NO and NC output to COM. Usually, electric strikes used in pedestrian doors should be connected between VIN and NO. In contrast, electromagnetic locks should be connected between VIC and NC.

The NO output is normally open, which means it does not conduct in the rest state. While the NC output is normally closed, it unlocks when the user presses the control button.

It is possible to receive feedback from the controller, which indicates the relay in the positions ’closed’ or ’intermediate position’. To do this, connect the circuit of the electromechanical limit switch with the input IN1 and COM of the controller. Please note that the polarisation of the limit switch inputs does not matter.

It is also possible to connect a digital inductive proximity sensor. This sensor must be powered by the input VIN and COM, and the sensor’s output should be connected to the input IN1.

To unlock the relay with the optional monostable switch (push-button), connect the switch circuit to the IN2 and COM inputs of the controller. This switch is normally used as an exit button for a building or property.

Ensure the device is connected properly according to the diagram and there are no metal components which may accidentally short-circuit.

Now, start the device by turning on the power and turning on the main fuse or connecting the power cord to the power outlet.
