Function

The key card switch is used for central switching on of electric loads by inserting a key card as well as for storage of the key card. The key card switch is installed in the entrance area. When the key card is removed the connected loads will be switched off automatically after the delay time has expired (approx. 30 seconds) and the LED orientation light of the key card switch is switched on.
