How does the controller functionality work?

The Bold Controller allows you to integrate existing wired electronic locking systems, such as gates, garage doors, or central doors.

The Controller functionality is integrated into every Bold Connect, providing seamless control over existing wired electronic locking systems, such as gates, garage doors, or central doors. Every Bold Connect features a green relay on the back, specifically designed for this functionality.

How to connect the Controller relay?

The Bold Controller allows you to set the relay as either normally open (which will close the circuit upon activation) or normally closed (which will open the circuit upon activation), depending on your specific needs. The activation time can be adjusted between 5 and 120 seconds or set to Pulse mode, offering flexibility for various applications.

To activate the Controller, simply press the push button on your Bold Connect or use the Bold App (just as you would with the Bold Smart Lock). Before setting up, please verify the specifications of your electronic locking system to ensure compatibility. You can program the relay interface through the Bold App to match different electronic locking systems, with a maximum switching current of 3A at 250VAC.

Installation Tip: Connect the existing electronic locking system to the 2-wire interface on the Bold Connect for the Controller functionality. We recommend double-checking the wiring specifications of your system to ensure a correct and secure installation.

Additionally, one Bold Connect can serve as both a gateway and a controller simultaneously, but ensure the Bold Smart Cylinder and Connect/Controller are within a Bluetooth range of 1-3 meters for optimal performance.

At Bold, our goal is to simplify your security setup, making it both smart and reliable.
