ZF presents at Light+Building in Frankfurt a batteryfree and wireless switch module which is based on ZF’s patented energy harvesting technology and the EnOcean® protocol.
As a member of the EnOcean Alliance, ZF succeeded in fully certifying the switch module in accordance with the EnOcean® RF standard which is especially designed for energy harvesting solutions.
The ZF switch module uses the RF frequency 868 MHz and operates energy self-sufficient i.e. batteries and wires are completely redundant. The energy for sending a RF protocol is generated by the actuation of a very compact inductive generator (20.1 x 7.3 x 14.3 mm).
The maintenance-free modules are compatible with various switch designs available on the market. As a wireless solution, these radio modules offer flexibility and design freedom in order to realize individual requirements.
Besides the switch module with EnOcean® protocol, a module for KNX-RF is available in series production. Also customer-specific protocols are possible.
At Light+Building in Frankfurt from 3rd to 8th March 2024, ZF shows in hall 9.0, stand no. E21 various energy harvesting applications in the area of Smart Home & Smart Building.
