Product Description
The 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 status wirelessly to other energy
saving devices in the room
▪
Enables other devices to minimize energy use whenever the
room is unoccupied

Planning
Take a moment to prepare and ensure optimal communications
with other system components, and for user convenience.
▪
Pick a location near the door where occupants enter and exit
using the key card. A common location is on the wall oppo-
site the door hinges, 3 ft. (92 cm) from the door jamb
▪
Consider the construction materials in the space and ob-
stacles 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 screw drill points.
B. Drill two holes for the wall an-
chors 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.

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.
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 off for example). Transceivers can be
linked with transmitters as well as other transceivers. A trans-
ceiver can have up to 30 devices linked to it.
Examples > Relays, Gateways
The Key Card Switch is a Transmit-only Devices.
To link the Key Card Switch to a transceiver; the transceiver must
first be powered, within wireless range of the sensor, and set to
accepts links.
To Link or Unlink a Key Card Switch
1. Set the desired transceiver to the
desired Link/Unlink mode. (refer
to receiving device’s installation
guide).
2. Insert and remove a key card three
times quickly - there should be an
audible click each time.
••>The Key Card Switch is now
linked.
Refer to the “Linking” section of the transceiver/controller instal-
lation guides to verify the linking process.
Typical Interactions
The key card interaction depends on the type of transceiver it is
linked to, for example:
Linked to a Thermostat or HVAC Controller
▪
Insert key card: normal mode is activated.
▪
Remove key card: setback mode is activated.
Linked to a Load Controller
▪
Insert key card: a wireless message is sent to close the cir-
cuits and turn on all linked loads, according to user-defined
program settings.
▪
Remove key card: a wireless message is sent to open the
circuits and turn off all linked loads.
NOTE: For multiple installations, e.g., front and back doors, all
key cards must be removed to send a message.
Troubleshooting
Problem
Solution Checklist
The key card switch
does not generate a
message
▪
Verify there is an audible click when card is
inserted or removed
▪
Verify slot is clear of foreign material or debris.
Use forced air to clean
The linked device
does not respond
to wireless mes-
sages
▪
Check for environment or range issues
▪
Verify the device is linked
▪
Check the transceiver connection and the wir-
ing for errors
▪
Check if appropriate devices are linked accord-
ing to good system planning
