Key Card Switch Module

The Key Card Switch Module (KCSM) allows occupants in hotels and similar applications to control lights in the space by simply inserting or removing a key card. When the key card is inserted, the lights can be turned on or off. When the card is removed, the lights are turned off.

The Key Card Switch Module communicates with the nLight platform either wired or wirelessly through the following devices:

RM Series, Low Voltage Recessed Sensors

Recessed mount sensors offer the reliable functionality of the standard ceiling mount with an architectural aesthetic. Recessed mount sensors are designed to fit inside a standard junction box making installation quick and easy. Lens options include large motion extended range and small motion standard range.

Available in low voltage and line voltage models, these sensors are capable of covering an entire private office or small room by themselves. Multiple low voltage sensors can also work together to supply the ideal solution for oddly shaped rooms or large open office areas.

A line voltage sensor provides one relay for a single-level control, while the 2-pole version provides a second relay for an additional level of control. For rooms with obstructions, these sensors are also offered with Dual Technology, which adds Microphonics™ detection to the Passive Infrared (PIR) detection.

SFR 7 Low Bay Fixture Mount Sensor

The SFR 7 Series Mini Low Bay sensor is a compact line voltage occupancy sensor
that snaps directly into a small cavity in a fixture. The SFR 7 utilizes Passive Infrared (PIR) technology to provide 360~186; detection of walking motion from 8 to 20 ft (2.74 to 5.49 m) mounting heights. The SFR 7 is designed to achieve initial detection of walking motion along its axes at distances of 2x the mounting height up to 15ft (4.57 m) and 1.75x up to 20 ft (6.10 m). The SFR 7 also provides 12 ft (3.66 m) radial detection of small motion when mounted at 9 ft (2.74 m).

rPODL Switch

The nLight® AIR rPODL is a wireless, line-powered wall switch providing a user with local control of a lighting zone featuring toggle and/or raise lower with optional multi-pole control in a single gang decorator style with soft-click buttons. Ideal for commercial office, education, healthcare, municipalities, and retail renovation projects, the rPODL helps to save installation time using existing wiring, while offering more wall switch design options for nLight projects.

The rPODL wall switch communicates wirelessly with other nLight AIR devices. The rPODL wall switch can work with any nLight AIR enabled fixture or power pack to provide toggle switch operation. Wall switches with the DX option have a raise/lower ability to adjust the level of any nLight AIR controlled dimmable light fixture. With optional 2 or 4 scene switches, a customized scene can be created for groups of fixtures to quickly and easily control the lights to desired levels in the space.

As part of the nLight AIR wireless controls family, the rPODL switch uses a 900MHz communication frequency that easily penetrates obstructions, and its five-tier security architecture helps building owners and occupants rest easy.

Startup/Commissioning

Boston Light Source includes startup and commissioning on every controls quotation we provide. The size and complexity of the project, along with protocols and product included determines whether BLS or an appropriate third party will handle the commissioning.

To schedule a pre-install meeting or a startup, please contact your project manager.

Services

In addition to providing startup and commissioning services, BLS can provide extended service contracts for your projects. Pricing is based on how many devices your installation has, and how complex it is. With varying response times and even remote service options, we can meet whatever service needs your facility has.
