Wireless Snap Switch

AFIS Series

Energy Harvesting

Description

The AFIS wireless snap switch provides data transfer via RF technology, eliminating the need for complex wire assemblies and

increasing flexibility for use in previously inaccessible locations. The required energy is generated by mechanical actuation of the

switch, eliminating the need for batteries.

Flexible pairing allows the operation of several switches with one receiver and vice-versa, and the switch “Unique ID” provides clear

identification while operating several switches at once. Up to three telegrams are sent per actuation, with pseudo-random timing to

assure robust data transmission. A compatible receiver is available.
