ZKTeco K1-1D Touchless Infrared Exit Button

Overview

The ZKTeco K1-1D is a touchless exit button: the person waves a hand in front of the sensor instead of pressing a plate. It is chosen where a shared touch surface is a problem, which in practice means clinics, laboratories, food production and cleanrooms, and it also suits doors used by people carrying equipment. It wires in place of a mechanical button with no change to the controller.

Is it right for you?

• It suits a hygiene-sensitive door or one where hands are often full.
• Beyond hygiene, it has no moving part to wear out, which matters on a door operated thousands of times a month.
• Sensing distance is adjustable from 5 to 15 cm; set too far out in a narrow corridor, it can trigger on someone walking past, so match the range to the doorway.
• It comes in two plate sizes, 86 x 86 mm for a standard gang box and 115 x 70 mm.

Key features

• Contactless infrared sensing, adjustable from 5 to 15 cm.
• Dry contact output (NO/NC/COM) to the controller exit input, as with a conventional button.
• Replaces a mechanical button one for one in the wiring, with no controller change needed.
• Blue LED on standby, green on response.
• Stainless steel; 12 to 24 V DC supply.
• Rated for 500,000 operations (aging tested); -20 to 55 °C and 0 to 95% humidity.

What else you need

A 12 to 24 V DC supply and a controller exit input or lock circuit to switch. A back box is available as an option for the 86 x 86 mm panel; it fits a hollow door frame installation. On an escape route, an emergency break glass unit alongside it.

Installation

An access control installer or electrician can fit it. It replaces a conventional exit button in the wiring, then the sensing distance is set to suit the doorway so passing traffic does not trigger it.
