Troubleshooting
Green – Online: the controller is connected to the network and operating normally. Red – Offline: the controller is disconnected from the network, or there is no internet access. White – Commissioning: the controller has started in commissioning mode and is waiting to be commissioned. Light blue – AP mode: the controller is broadcasting its own network for setup or configuration. Dark blue – Selected in the app: the controller is currently selected in the PIERRE Partner app, which helps you identify the physical controller in the cabinet. Purple – Searching for IP address: the controller is waiting to receive an IP address from the router. Orange – Firmware update: a firmware update is in progress; do not power off the controller while the LED is orange.
If not: Add it in the PIERRE Partner app.
If not, wire it as shown in the diagram. To rule out the lock and its cable, disconnect the lock wire from the controller output and briefly connect it to +12 V: if the lock clicks, everything after the controller works. Alternatively move the lock to another free output and change the pin in the PIERRE Partner app.
Controllers and devices keep their last state and resume when power returns. Locks and gate motors can be backed up by a battery so they keep working during an outage — and always keep a manual way to open them.
Each electric strike has a specified strength limit, which can be found in the product details.
This depends on the setup. The lock can be connected to the PIERRE system, the intercom, or both if the intercom has additional unlocking features.
