• When the dry contact switch on the Card Key Unit is open (refer to diagram below for contact type a), the unit stops to
operate (it takes 10 seconds to stop the unit operation after the dry contact switch on the card key turns off) and vice
versa.
• When the card key is removed from the Card Key Unit, the wireless remote controller cannot be used.
• When the card key is removed from the Card Key Unit, the wired remote controller LCD display is activated; however it
has no control over the unit.
• The suitable accessory Connecting Cord (accessory code#: SPX-WDC3) need to be used to connect the Card Key Unit’s
