KIN D 2.0 Installation
Powering up KIN D 2.0
The KIN D 2.0 will operate on a DC or AC power supply (not provided) within the range of 12 to 24 volts. If the KIN D 2.0 and the attached device is required to operate in the event of a power outage, a ‘Battery Backed- Up Power Supply’ is recommended. If the attached device requires more than 0.5 AMPS of current to operate, a heavy-duty power supply is required. The KIN D 2.0 uses an embedded Relay with 2.0 amp rating.
This is the maximum current that can be switched reliably when connected to a ‘NON-Inductive load’ up to 30VDC. Electric strikes and magnetic locks are considered ‘Inductive Loads’. For Inductive Loads operating on DC, it is important to have the provided diode attached at the locking device to remove the CEMF pulse that is generated when switching an ‘In-ductive Load’ (see DC ELECTRIC STRIKE WIRING EXAMPLE below). For Inductive Loads operating on AC, a MOV must be used -not provided. An external relay should be used on larger voltage and current requirements. Use the provided 5 wire caps for wire connections. ALWAYS terminate any KIN D 2.0 unused wire with a wire cap.
KIN D 2.0 Placement
-
Place the KIN D 2.0 in a plastic enclosure or within the wall or door frame.
-
Place the KIN D 2.0 in a dry place with normal ambient temperatures.
To avoid any attenuation and for proper operation DO NOT place the KIN D 2.0 behind electrical equipment such as card reader, screens, etc. DO NOT place the KIN D 2.0 behind metallic obstacles or behind UV-coated glass or reflective glass. -
Once the KIND 2.0 is placed, ALWAYS test its operational range. When issuing a command, the KINDOO application will inform you if the KIN D 2.0 signal is weak and the application will not emit the command. Always verify that the range within which the KINDOO application allows you to issue the command is an acceptable operating range for your installation. If not, kindly change the KIN D 2.0 placement in a way that reduces obstacles between the KIN D 2.0 and the phone of the users.
For installations where the KIN D 2.0 is hidden, you may use the provided PIN and double-sided tape to affix the PIN in a visible location at the same level of the KIN D 2.0. The PIN is simply a visual marker that helps users know where the KIN D 2.0 is located and does not serve any other function.
Wires Color Coding
- Green and yellow wires should be connected to a 12V to 24V DC or AC power supply
- The Red wire is the Common (C) (typically 12V to 24V DC or AC)
- The White wire is Normally Open (NO)
- The Black wire is Normally Connected (NC)
DC Electric strike wiring example
Use the 5 provided wire caps to connect wires. Most importantly terminate any unused wire with a wire cap as well.

FCC STATEMENT
NOTE:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class
B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates uses and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However,
there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and
on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more
of the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
- This device may not cause harmful interference, and
- This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
This device contains license-exempt transmitter(s)/receiver(s) that comply with Innovation, Science, and Economic Development Canada’s license-exempt RSS(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
- This device may not cause interference.
- This device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.
