This install guide covers the Echoflex Solutions Keycard Switch Station
Model#:
KSS-UW
Keycard Switch Station, White, 902 MHz
Product Overview
The keycard switch stations communicate wirelessly with Echoflex lighting and load
controllers. The KSS has been designed to allow retrofitting of suites and buildings so
energy loads are only operational when needed reducing energy consumption and
costs. Keycards are used extensively in the hospitality industry. These stations are
used by guests to indicate when they’ve entered their hospitality suite by inserting
the keycard supplied by the facility into the station. When the guests leave, they
extract the keycard providing indication of the suites vacant state. Linked room
control devices can be used to set-back temperature controls or switch lighting
circuits off to conserve energy.
With each card insertion, the station will provide a slight audible click, a green LED
blink (visible through the keycard plastic) and a “card inserted“ transmission to linked
receivers. The KSS is powered by a replaceable CR2032 coin cell battery and has an
expected lifetime of 100,000 actuations over 10 years. The station will indicate a low
battery condition by blinking a red LED once upon any card insertion.
The keycard station is activated with an 85.60 x 53.98 mm (3.37 x 2.125”) card as
specified by ISO/IEC7810 - ID-1 (thickness of 0.76 mm (0.03”).
Preparing to Install
Careful consideration should be made when locating the controllers and stations
based on the construction materials in the space and possibility of occupant’s
furniture disrupting the transmissions. The station should be installed in the same
space as the device controlling the lighting or temperature controls.
The KSS switch stations need to be mounted to a firm surface. They can be flush
mounted with the screws and wall anchors (not supplied). Alternately, the station can
be mounted on mud rings. For indoor use only.
To mount over line voltage device boxes, please order our UL approved barrier - see
accessories for ordering information.
