ILLUMRA has developed a special key card switch that automates hotel room energy and prevents overuse of electricity. The USA made self-powered wireless key card switches use a unique technology. The insertion of a room key will generate enough power to send a signal to an ILLUMRA relay or any other compatible ILLUMRA products and disable the HVAC or lighting circuits. Using kinetic energy, ILLUMRA wireless key card reader requires no wires and no batteries to operate. Requiring no batteries makes the key card switch one of the greenest and most advanced energy saving products on the market. These wireless and battery-less room key switches operate using the EnOcean 902 MHz protocol and have an extra-long range from switch to relay of up to 150 feet.
Advantages of these key card switches include unlimited relay reception of the signal (hundreds of relays can receive a signal from one key card switch), ability to work with an ILLUMRA 20 amp dry contact relay or HVAC setback module, and compatibility with an ILLUMRA BACnet Gateway. ILLUMRA can pre-link its wireless key card switches, offering customers a quick and simple setup. The most common use of these self-powered wireless key card switches are hotel and dorm rooms, paired with a single or set of relays, and sometimes an ILLUMRA wireless window sensor or BACnet Gateway. ILLUMRA designs and manufactures its kinetic energy key card switches in Lindon, Utah, and tests 100% of all products before sending them to customers.
