Download the Fluss App
Go to the App Store, PlayStore or App Gallery and search for Fluss, download and install it
WARNING: Electrical shock hazard. Turn power off at the circuit breaker or switch and disconnect any batteries (if necessary) from the installation area before you begin installation. A qualified electrician may be required to complete the installation.
You will need a small screwdriver (either flat or star, depending on the type of device you are installing Fluss on).
Connect the Fluss Device:
CAUTION: please check your device’s manual to ensure that it provides direct current (DC) power and not alternating current (AC). If it provides AC, you will require an AC/DC converter or rectifier.
To check how to connect certain devices please visit https://fluss.web.app/installation/ and select your device from the drop down. Follow the diagram provided on the website.
If you can't find your device in the list or you aren't sure which device you have, then do the following:
Connect the red wire to the “+ve” power output of the device (normally labelled "+", "+12V", "+28V", "AUX 12V" or similar) – ensure that it is DC and not AC.
Connect the black wire to the “-ve” or ground output of the device (normally labelled "-", "GND", "COM" or "COMMOM").
Connect the white wire to the logic input of the device (normally labelled "CYC", "IMPULSE", "IMP", "KBUTT", "OPERATE", "OSC", "PB", "PP", "SBS", "SS", "START", "STRT", "SW", "TRG", "WALL BUTTON", "WALL CONTROL").
NB: Please ensure that you have not mixed up the red and black wires, or it will damage the Fluss and potentially your device.
Claim the Device after installation:
Open the Fluss app on your phone or tablet, making sure that Bluetooth and Location services are enabled and Fluss has permission to use them, and after a few seconds you should see a large yellow button with an "Unclaimed Device".
Once you have claimed the device, whenever you are in range, it should appear as a blue button that you can press to activate your device.
Press the button to claim the device and provide the device with a suitable name (I.E., Entrance Gate). Enter the code which can be found on the back of the device. NB: take note of the Fluss+ DeviceID which will be required for configuration.
Select 'Scan for available networks' and select your Wi-Fi router.
Enter the Wi-Fi password to connect to the internet.
NOTE: The Fluss+ may take a minute or two to connect to the internet and show a blue button once it's online.
