1. Before You Go On Site:
a. Register your VIZpin Smart Device (VP1) on an account
b. Install the VIZpin SMART app on your phone
c. Make sure you have a VIZpin Smartkey to the VP1 you are installing
d. Figure out what voltage your electronic locking device (i.e. electric strike or mag lock) needs to activate.
We strongly recommend using a 12VDC device. That will simplify wiring, avoid mistakes and allow you to back
it up with a battery. If it is not a 12 VDC device, the VP1 can only be wired to work with a 12VAC, 24VDC or 24VAC
device. If it is something different you will need to add a separate relay. Please contact [e-mail].
e. Have a power supply (PS) that is the right voltage (12VDC) and is capable of powering the locking device and the VP1.
For example, the VIZpin Smart Device is 12VDC and requires 20mA. If your locking device is 12VDC and requires
500mA, you need a 12VDC PS that is rated for at least 520mA. Any PS rated for 1A (1,000mA) or higher will work.
f. Know if your locking device is activated when power is applied (i.e. doorstrike – normally open relay) or when
power is removed (i.e. maglock – normally closed relay )
g. In your VIZpin portal, edit the Smart Device settings and select the appropriate relay setting
h. Connect 12VDC to the VP1 and make sure the LED is gently pulsing red
i. In the VIZpin SMART app, tap “Open” on your Smartkey to trigger the VP1. The LED may turn purple. If it does,
refresh the VIZpin SMART app and use the Smartkey again. Repeat this until the LED turns green

2. Once On Site
a. Connect the positive (+) wire of the locking device to the VP1 yellow wire
b. Connect the negative (-) wire of the locking device to the negative (-) of the PS
c. Connect to blue wire on the VP1 to the positive (+) side of locking device’s PS
d. Connect the VP1 red wire to positive (+) on your +12VDC PS
e. Connect the VP1 black wire to negative (-) on your +12VDC PS
