Fanvil KT10 & KT20 Wireless Buttons

The Fanvil KT10 and KT20 Wireless Buttons are compact, battery-free wireless call devices designed for use with compatible Fanvil healthcare and assisted-care communication systems. Using micro-energy harvesting technology, the buttons generate the small amount of electrical energy required for wireless signalling when activated, eliminating the need for conventional batteries.

Using 433MHz wireless communication, they can pair with supported Fanvil healthcare endpoints to provide an accessible method of initiating configured call or assistance functions.

Battery-Free Micro-Energy Harvesting

The KT10 and KT20 use kinetic energy generated during button operation rather than relying on a replaceable battery.

This provides several practical advantages for healthcare and aged care environments:

• No routine battery replacement
• Reduced maintenance requirements
• No battery state to monitor
• Suitable for long-term deployment
• Compact wireless installation
• Reduced battery waste

This can be particularly useful where many wireless call buttons are deployed throughout a facility.

Compact Healthcare Design

The devices are designed to remain small and easy to operate, making them suitable for elderly users, patients and people with limited mobility.

The supplied specifications identify the KT10 at approximately 21 × 51.6 × 18.5mm, allowing it to be used as a compact personal call device without adding significant bulk.

Its lightweight format can make it suitable for use around healthcare, assisted-living and home-care environments.

Fanvil KT10 and KT20 Wireless Buttons Integration

The wireless buttons can be paired with compatible Fanvil equipment including:

• Fanvil Y501 Series
• Fanvil Y501-Y Series
• Fanvil X305 Big Button IP Phone

Once paired and appropriately configured, activation can be used as part of the connected system’s call or assistance functions.

This allows the wireless devices to extend the accessibility of compatible Fanvil SIP healthcare solutions beyond the controls located directly on the telephone or intercom.

433MHz Wireless Communication

The devices communicate using the 433MHz radio frequency, allowing signalling without a dedicated communication cable between the button and receiving device.

Wireless operation provides greater flexibility when deploying call points around:

• Aged care facilities
• Nursing homes
• Assisted-living accommodation
• Healthcare facilities
• Patient rooms
• Home-care environments

Actual radio performance will depend on building materials, interference, receiver placement and surrounding environmental conditions.

Ebelong 1.1 Protocol

The supplied specification identifies support for the Ebelong 1.1 communication protocol for communication with compatible receiving equipment.

This provides the signalling method used by the wireless button and supported Fanvil devices.

I would avoid describing this protocol as inherently encrypted or secure unless those security characteristics are specifically confirmed by the manufacturer.

Wireless Operating Range

For the KT10, the supplied information specifies a maximum operating range of:

• Up to 25m indoors
• Up to 150m outdoors

These figures should be treated as maximum stated ranges rather than guaranteed real-world distances.

Walls, reinforced structures, electrical equipment and radio interference can all reduce effective indoor coverage.

Suitable for Health and Aged Care

Battery-free wireless operation can be particularly valuable in applications where a user needs an accessible method of requesting assistance without depending on a fixed telephone or wall-mounted call point.

Potential applications include:

• Nursing homes
• Aged care facilities
• Assisted-living environments
• Home care
• Patient rooms
• Healthcare facilities
• Mobility assistance applications

The buttons can form part of a wider Fanvil SIP healthcare communications system alongside compatible phones and intercom devices.

Reduced Maintenance

One of the key benefits of the kinetic-energy design is the removal of conventional battery maintenance.

For facilities operating multiple wireless call devices, eliminating periodic battery replacement can reduce ongoing maintenance while helping keep compatible call buttons available for use.
