Nokē Ion Install Guide (Internal Use Only) Introduc2on The Nokē Smart Entry (NSE) system has two main hardware parts when installed on a standard roll up door: a wired Nokē Ion Lock Body, which is mounted inside the storage unit on a door rail, and a Notched Sliding Latch, which is mounted on the outside of the unit’s door. These two pieces are aligned so that the Lock Body will catch and secure the Notched Sliding Latch when locked. The Nokē Ion system offers optional peripheral attachments, including an optional wall-mount RGB LED status indicator light, and an in-unit Motion Detector. The Nokē Ion Lock Body requires a standard 12Vdc power source when connected to the PIR Motion Sensor; otherwise, if there is no motion sensor connected then the Noke ̄ Ion will accept power inputs from 12Vdc to 24Vdc. Nokē Ion locks automatically form a secure wireless mesh network to ensure reliable communication. Nokē gateways strategically located throughout the facility connect this wireless mesh network to Nokē ’ s encrypted cloud servers. The Nokē Ion locks pass activity logs from one lock to the next until a Noke ̄ gateway is within signal range, and then the information is sent back through the cloud.

Nokē Ion Install Guide (Internal Use Only) Installing the Notched Sliding Latch If you are doing a retroYit installation, make sure to remove the standard Janus sliding latch from the door before installing the notched sliding latch and Noke ̄ Ion lock body. (Available in left or right- handed versions.) Le5-hand (Part #200460-0001) and Right-hand (Part #200460-0000) Right-hand version is displayed. To install the notched sliding latch, 1. Switch out the standard sliding latch with either the right or le`-handed notched sliding latch. Cau.on: Ensure that the notch on the sliding latch is facing down towards the floor so that the locking apparatus within the Nokē...

Nokē Ion Install Guide (Internal Use Only) Installing the Nokē Ion Lock Installing the Wirepas Antenna Op#on 1: Interior storage units or Exterior storage units with LoS between unit interiors The Wirepas antenna is an accessory that must be mounted at the top of the door frame. Antennas perform best when they have Line of Sight (LoS) to each other to form a strong mesh network. Before starting the installation, ensure that the length of the antenna cabling is sufYicient to reach the Nokē Ion lock body inside the unit. Additionally, allow for some extra space to neatly bundle any excess power supply and antenna cables at the top of the door header, securing them with the provided zip ties. This approach will create a tidy and professional appearance, reducing the risk of tenants inadvertently snagging cables while moving items in and out of their units. To install the antenna, 1.

Nokē Ion Install Guide (Internal Use Only) Installing the Nokē Ion Lock Body The Nokē Ion lock body bolts to the inside of the unit on the door rail. It’s important to align the sliding latch correctly with the lock so as not to damage the lock itself when opening and closing the door. Preferably this is a one-person process using an alignment jig. The alignment jig is designed for a standard size 650 Janus guide rail using a standard hole. If the door being installed is not this conYiguration, the installer may need to use a two-person installation method with one installer inside and another outside. To install the lock, 1. Key components for using Alignment Jig 2. Open the door and insert the Alignment Jig into the Guide Rail. Place in the railing so the Alignment Post is INSIDE the Guide Rail Hole.

Nokē Ion Install Guide (Internal Use Only) 7. Align the lock over the drill holes and insert the carriage bolt into the bohom hole and loosely ?ghten. This temporarily holds the lock in place which lets you easily ahach the power supply, Wirepas antenna, and cables out in the open.

Nokē Ion Install Guide (Internal Use Only) Op.onal: If you are installing Interface Module, you will need to remove the Nokē Ion Wire Harness from the 10-Pin Connector so you will be able to plug in the 10-Pin to 10-Pin Extender Cable w/ LED Breakout.
Nokē Ion Install Guide (Internal Use Only) Installing the LED Light Assembly (Op?onal) The 4-pin LED light assembly is an optional installation that requires drilling through the door frame. It is only used to indicate the status of the lock: Locked/Unlocked/Updating. Before you begin installing the LED light, it is important to measure and mark the height on the door frame where you will drill the 1” OD access hole centered 50” above Yinished Yloor (AFF) and 3” from the edge of the door opening on the door jamb. This will ensure that the LEDs are uniformly placed throughout the installation for the facility. LED Light Assembly To install the Status LED OPTION 1: Sheet metal frame building 1. Mark and drill the 1” OD access hole for the LED light assembly into the face of the door frame centered at 50”...

Nokē Ion Install Guide (Internal Use Only) Installing the Interface Module (Op?onal) The interface module is installed into a unit if the unit is meant to be using the Daisy-Chain power concept (used more commonly on external units), if the unit is meant to have a Motion Sensor installed, or both. The interface module helps move the cables into a simpler conYiguration to help the installer, and it also reduces some cable lengths to reduce power losses. Finally, the interface module helps simplify what cables are being installed into the Nokē Ion main lock body, which is important because volume inside that electronics cavity is limited. Interface Module Assembly To install the Interface Module, 1. 10-Pin Interface Module Cable Ends: 2. Connectors on the PCB are used as follows: Revised 10/22/24...

Nokē Ion Install Guide (Internal Use Only) Installing the Mo?on Sensor (Op?onal) The Motion Sensor is an optional installation for mounting a sensor that can detect if a person is inside the unit. The sensor will provide this information to the Nokē Ion lock which is then passed to the cloud and can be used for data analysis, customer notiYication, etc. This installation is meant to be Yinished before the Interface Module has been mounted to the unit. Motion sensor should be mounted at ~8ft (2.4m) off the ground MoNon Sensor Assembly To install the Mo.on Sensor, 1. Drill or knock-out a hole for the Sensor Moun?ng Screw and the Cable Feed-Through hole. 2.

Nokē Ion Install Guide (Internal Use Only) 8. Hold it up in the unit so the lower screw hole aligns with the pilot hole. Screw the lower screw into the sheet metal. 9. Rotate the Sensor Body right-side-up. Orient the Sensor unit so that it is facing correctly into the unit (approximately diagonally across the unit or 45 degrees from the wall for oddly shaped units).

Connect the 4-pin Connector on the other end of the Sensor cable into the Interface Module (see the Installing the Interface Module (Op.onal) sec?on on Page 1616). Clean up cables and securely mount so they are not at risk of being damaged by future tenants of the storage unit. 13.
