EnOcean kinetic power conquers the world

EnOcean PTM 215ZE PTM 535Z TCM 515Z

New at Light + Building 2016, the energy harvesting technology provider introduces a complete batteryless, wireless switch module portfolio in the 2.4 GHz frequency band for global use applications

At Light + Building 2016, EnOcean will be presenting a new self-powered product family for wireless communication in the globally usable 2.4 GHz frequency band. This adds to the company’s products in 868 MHz, 902 MHz and 928 MHz for new markets and regions. With the 2.4 GHz offering, OEMs can now realize batteryless switch applications for worldwide use. This development emphasizes EnOcean’s know-how in kinetic energy harvesting based on the field-proven electromechanical energy converter ECO 200.

The new 2.4 GHz portfolio enables integration of EnOcean’s technology into 2.4 GHz systems, such as ZigBee. It opens the self-powered technology to new markets, particularly for applications that request a global use for energy harvesting wireless communication.

Thus, manufacturers of 2.4 GHz based products can now integrate EnOcean energy harvesting in their portfolio for batteryless, wireless room-level control. Due to the EnOcean standard form factors, OEMs can easily use the new 2.4 GHz modules to develop various kinetic-powered applications such as wall switches, contact sensors or remote controls.

The EnOcean 2.4 GHz product family includes:

  • PTM 215ZE – a 2.4 GHz radio pushbutton transmitter module. It is mechanically compatible with the industry standard PTM 21x module form factor (sub-1 GHz) to ensure an easy integration into a wide range of switch designs, allowing efficient migration paths.
