The BTC-1 is designed to be powered from an
AC or DC power supply ranging from 12 to 24
volts. This makes it compatible with most door
strike power supplies. The BTC-1 should be
mounted inside, near the door or device it will be
controlling and within 30 feet of the position of the
user. The BTC-1 mounts to any smooth surface
using the two foam tape strips attached to the
back of the unit. Figure 1 shows the power and
control connections.
The BTC-1 is programmed using the BTC application software. The BTC application can
be found on Google's Play Store by searching for vikingelectronics.btc1 or by using the QR-
code in figure 2. Install this software on your Bluetooth device and make sure you have
access to the BTC-1 module before continuing. The BTC-1's LED will blink when powered,
