Wiring Diagrams

WARNING:

To ensure the safety of your electrical installation, it’s essential either a Miniature Circuit Breaker (MCB) or a Residual Current operated Cicuit-breaker with Integral Overcurrent protection(RCBO) with an electrical rating of 10A that meets national safety standards has been installed before the MINI-D. An overcurrent protection device with a rated current of 3A needs to be used in the control circuit of the MINI-D.
This device cannot be powered by both AC and DC power simultaneously.
Make sure all wires are connected correctly.

DC low-power load wiring

Dry contact wiring

Notice:

Applicable to devices that can be controlled via dry contact.
To ensure compatibility with the garage door motor, please short-circuit the terminals of the motor that were originally used to connect to the wall switch ( the short-circuiting process is safe, so don’t worry). If the garage door motor operates after short-circuiting, it is compatible; if the motor does not operate, it is not compatible.
