This energy harvesting module builds upon its predecessor, the PTM 215B – which was the world's first energy harvesting Bluetooth switch module.
With the EnOcean PTM 216B module, it is now possible to address a much broader range of applications thanks to the use of the latest generation kinetic harvester ECO 260. The combination of the new harvester with the latest generation system design, allows for more than double the radio transmission power compared to its predecessor and this significantly increases the usable communication distance.
This enhancement enables control of high-bay lighting, expanding the application areas to include warehouses and architectural projects with high ceilings.
The PTM 216B also brings great flexibility in terms of installation locations and repositioning capabilities. In modern offices with adaptable layouts and flexible walls, the elimination of wiring significantly streamlines the installation process.
EnOcean devices such as PTM 216B can be quickly configured using Near Field Communication (NFC) technology. NFC is a short-range wireless technology that enables communication between devices in close proximity, typically within a few centimetres.
It allows two devices equipped with NFC capabilities to establish a connection by bringing them close together, triggering the exchange of data.
The integration of EnOcean devices into networks via NFC provides a simple, quick and reliable way of setting up lighting installations.
- Simple: no qualifications are required to set it up.
- Quick: optimised installation time.
- Right first-time: no need to revisit a site to correct any parameters.
Thanks to the extensive EnOcean partner and OEM network, energy-harvesting switches based on the PTM 216B and other EnOcean switch modules are available in a wide range of designs from multiple switch manufacturers around the world.
