At a glance

THE HANDOVER IT CAN REMOVE · EDITORIAL VIEW

Bring a compatible electric lock into booking-led entry. This is a controller for a powered installation, not a replacement for every mechanical padlock or gate.

Potential rental fit

  • Powered entry to bookable spaces
  • Rental-site gates with compatible electric locks

Applications to evaluate, not confirmed deployments of this exact SKU.

What the site needs

The sheet specifies 9–24 V DC, not direct mains input. Budget for suitable power, lock, keypad where needed, enclosure and qualified installation. IP50 does not permit assuming exposed outdoor use.

Maintenance & recovery

Define safe exit, power-loss behaviour and any backup with the installer. Battery-lock USB-C jumpstart guidance does not apply to this powered controller.

Costs & limitations

LIMITATIONS & QUESTIONS BEFORE SELECTION

  • Requires a compatible electric lock, suitable power supply and installation design. No battery backup is assumed.
  • The controller is not weatherproof by itself: enclosure and site conditions matter.
  • Have the installer determine exit, power-failure and fail-safe/fail-secure behaviour for the actual door or gate; this profile is not installation guidance.

The full cost to compare

Compare the complete retrofit and maintenance cost. The documented Ohio solar tennis pilot uses SW1X and EK2, not SW1; do not transfer its configuration to this SKU.

Request current local pricing for the exact SKU, required accessories, software and installation. No cross-market price comparison is implied.

Source documents & verification status
