Step 3

Open your main gate control box and look for the 2 items listed below

1. Power supply source terminal

(a) Identify what type of power source is provided by your main gate control system (AC/DC)?

2. NO / NC terminal use to control your main gate

(a) Use a jumper cable to short the NC/NO terminal of the main gate control system board, and see the result?

(b) Identify the correct NO/NC terminal that will connect to the WIFI relay switch later.

**Note: Your main gate control box may be different.
