The electronic key switch EKS detects electronic keys (transponders) from a few centimetres distance. This device can replace conventional key switches or key switches with impulse function. Instead of conventional keys, transponders are used for (non-contact) activation of the EKS.Configuration Options:
- impulse function, 3 seconds impulse time
- impulse function, 0.3 seconds impulse time
- impulse function, any impulse time (relay will give impulses as long as the transponder is presented)
- switch function
- 1 relay (potential-free alternating contact)
- 2 relays (potential-free alternating contacts)

It is basically possible to arrange several EKS units within one fixture. However, the following conditions should be respected:
- installation of EKS 42 VP (vandal-resistant variant behind 2 mm stainless steel) without minimum interspace or
- installation of EKS 42 / EKS 50 in all other variants with the illustrated minimum distances
