Self-Powered Wireless Key Card Switch

Mx-EKCS

Product Description

They Key Card Switch saves energy by signally HVAC, lighting, and electrical loads that
a room is unoccupied. It communicates wirelessly with compatible devices in a guest
room when a key card is inserted or removed from the slot.

The Key Card Switch can be mounted on most surfaces using the mounting plate or over
an existing wall box.

Features Include:

• Determines occupancy based on guest room key card being inserted or removed

• Harvests kinetic energy from the card action - no batteries

• Installs easily in new or existing rooms - no wiring

• Transmits room occupancy statues wirelessly to other energy saving devices in the room

• Enables other devices to minimize energy use whenever the room is unoccupied

Package Contents

• Key Card Switch

• Trim Plate

• 2 screws, 2 wall anchors

Tools Required

• Power drill, 3/16” bit

• Screwdriver

• Leveling tool

Planning

Take a moment to prepare and ensure optimal communications with
other system components, and for user convenience.

5. Insert the trim plate tabs into the bottom slots of the key card
switch, and then lightly flex the trim plate to insert the top tabs.

• Pick a location near the door where occupants enter and exit
using the key card. A common location is on the wall opposite the
door hinges, 3 ft (92 cm) from the door jamb

• Consider the construction materials in the space and obstacles
that may interfere with RF signals

Installing

1. Decide where you want to mount the key card switch. (The ideal
height is in line with wall switches (49” or 125 cm on center) for
comfortable access.

NOTE: If installing over an existing wall box make sure any bare electri­cal wires are capped

2. Remove the trim plate from the key card assembly.

3. Using a level and a pencil, lightly mark two small dots to align the
upper edge of the key card switch.

4. Mount the key card switch securely to the wall using the provided
screws and wall anchors

A. Using the pencil marks to ensure it’s level, mark the two
mounting screws drill points
B. Drill two holes for the wall anchors with a 3/16” drill bit
and insert the wall anchors.
C. Insert the top screw loosely and level the Key Card Switch.
D. Insert the bottom screw, and then hand tighten the top
screw.

TIP: To remove the trim plate
without marking it, press down
with a fingernail in the top groove
to ease the tabs out of the slots.

6. Insert a key card to test the mechanism.

TIP: There should be an audible
click each time the key card is
inserted or removed.

Linking

Two or more compatible devices can be linked and configured to
provide the desired control. There are two basic types of devices in
the system; transmitters and transceivers.

Transmit-only: Transmitters are simple energy-harvesting devic­es that send RF messages to communicate a condition, level, or
state. Transmitters can only be linked to transceivers. Examples >
Self-powered Light Switches, Occupancy Sensors

Transmit & Receive: Transceivers are controlling devices that send
as well as receive RF messages. They also process relevant control
logic, and actuate the appropriate outputs (switching a light on or
o for example). Transceivers can be linked with transmitters as
well as other transceivers. A transceiver can have up to 30 devices
linked to it. Examples > Relays, Gateways

The Key Card Switch is a Transmit-Only Device.

To link the Key Card Switch to a transceiver; the transceiver must
first be powered, within wireless range of the sensor, and set to
accept links.
