Energy Harvester from ZF for Windows and Doors

Auerbach. Installed in applications for windows and doors, the Energy Harvester from ZF contribute to energy efficiency and building security. They monitor if a window is open or closed and prevent for example the waste of heating energy.

By RF technology, the current status of a window will be reported to the building technology and when the window is open, the heating or air-condition will turn down. If a window or door has not been closed, this information can also be checked on a central unit. Thus, the effort for the guard duty of big commercial buildings will be reduced.
By each actuation of the ZF Energy Harvester, sufficient energy for the transmission of a RF protocol is generated. The connected radio electronics transfers the status information to a receiver unit. So, window handle, window latch or door lock inform with every opening and closing about the change of status.
The completely battery-free and wireless technology from ZF is free of maintenance and flexible in use. It can be realized with different RF protocols such as Bluetooth®, EnOcean® or customer-specific RF protocols.
Energy harvesting switches from ZF are a smart, energy-saving solution for the smart home.
At Light + Building in Frankfurt from 3rd to 8th March 2024, ZF presents different applications for the status monitoring of windows and doors (Hall 9.0, Stand E21). For more information on the energy harvesting products from ZF, please click here: https://switches-sensors.zf.com/energy-harvesting/
