The HS Series Card Key Switch turns electrical
circuits on or off when a card key or HS-FOB
Key Fob is inserted or removed from its slot. The
HS-100 is a low voltage unit with a normally open
and normally closed isolated relay, allowing it
to interface with third-party energy and lighting
management control systems. Additionally, the
HS-100 can connect to one or more Watt Stopper
Power Pack(s). The HS-150 is a line voltage unit
that serves as a master switch for a single guest
room circuit.
Operation
Inserting a door entry card key or HS-FOB into
the HS Card Key Switch energizes the controlled
circuits and loads. Removing the card key initiates
a 30-second time delay to allow safe egress from
the hotel room. Once this time delay elapses, the
power to the circuits is terminated. To restore
power to the room’s controlled circuits, reinsert
the card key into the HS Card Key Switch.
Code Compliance
HS Card Key Switches provide an easy solution to
current requirements in both the IECC and ANSI/
ASHRAE/IESNA Standard 90.1, which now require
a master switch at the entrance of every new guest
room to control the room’s electrical circuits.
Unlike a simple master switch, the HS Series Card
Key Switches ensure that lights are off when a
room is vacant for more reliable energy savings.
Applications
HS Card Key Switches are ideal for guest rooms in
hotels, motels, boarding houses, senior residences
or similar applications with guest rooms. Once
installed, they function as control devices located
at the main entry door, controlling all permanently
installed luminaires and switched receptacles.
