ZF, (On)-Off Rocker Switch Panel Mount

This Cherry Energy Harvesting Switch is a momentary rocker switch providing data transfer through RF technology, eliminating the need for complex wire assemblies and increasing flexibility of use. Energy is generated by the mechanical actuation of the switch, eliminating the need for batteries. Flexible pairing allows the operation of several wireless switches with one receiver and vice-versa.

Each switch operates on a “Unique ID” allowing several switches to work at once. Up to three telegrams are sent per actuation, with pseudo-random timing to assure robust data transmission. This unit works at a frequency of 868 Mhz and uses a proprietary protocol. A snap switch version is also available (Stock no 8736675).
A compatible receiver is also available (Stock no 8736684).

Small size, with high energy efficiency
868 MHz and 915 MHz frequency bands allow global use within different applications
The Cherry Energy Harvesting Switch can be found as part of the complete Cherry Switch Energy Harvesting Evaluation Kit (Stock no 7897208)
