Bleb ox smart relay module
Installation and Tedee integration manual
BleBox 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 BleBox smart relay module to your setup lets you control your devices
from anywhere using our designated Tedee app.
Be aware that this module is not a relay controller; they are two separate
devices.
BleBox 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 BleBox smart relay module can only work if your smartphone
is connected to the internet. The cloud connection requires permanent access
to the module over the internet..
If your relay module 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, activating BleBox smart relay module also requires an internet
connection in your 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 control it.
In addition, an electric push button can be connected to the module.
Preparation for installation
Setting up a BleBox 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 BleBox smart relay module with a voltage range of
12-24V. It supports relay openers supplied with 230V and up to 5A current.
Normally Open (NO) and Normally Closed (NC) mechanisms are compatible with the
module. NO is set as default in the advanced settings of the controller (in
the box app).
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.
It may be necessary to ask your building’s administration or maintenance for
its placement and/or approval for shared hardware modification.
Wi-Fi ranges
After determining the relay controller’s location, you must confirm that there
is permanent internet access in this spot and that the connection to the Wi-Fi
network works 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 module 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 BleBox 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.
BleBox 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 module.
Switch off the main fuse or disconnect the power cord from the main socket.
The module 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 relay module connectors.
Connection
Start by connecting the +12V or +24V power to the [12-24 AC/DC] inputs (3) &
(4) as shown on the drawings above.
Connect the electric bolt lock or the electromagnetic lock circuit to the
relay output circuit – connectors (1) & (2).
The NO output is normally open, which means it does not conduct in the rest
state, while the
NC output is normally closed, which means it conducts in the rest state. You
can set up the NO (default) or NC feature in the module settings over the box
app (in the “Advanced settings” section) while you are connected directly to
the module’s Wi-Fi.
It is possible to receive feedback from the controller, which indicates the
positions ‘closed’ or’ intermediate position’. To do this, connect the circuit
of the electromechanical limit switch with the input IN1 of the controller, as
shown on the drawings: connectors (3) & (5). Please note that the
polarization 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 same input you connect the controller to, and
the sensor output should be connected to the input IN1 – connector (5).
To unlock the relay with the optional monostable switch (push-button), connect
the switch circuit to the IN2 – connector (6) and COM input of the controller
– connector (3). 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.
