E-Kanban Call Button Installation and Configuration Guide About the E-Kanban Call Button About the E-Kanban Call Button The E-Kanban Call Button (ECB) is a call button intended for just-in-time parts replenishment to assembly lines in manufacturing operations (eKanban). Its true wireless nature enables easy deployment without need for wired power or communication lines. Alternately, a hard-wired power supply can be used if desired.
E-Kanban Call Button Installation and Configuration Guide Powering the E-Kanban Call Button Powering the E-Kanban Call Button You can supply power to the E-Kanban Call Button in two ways: ▪ The device can be powered by four AA batteries. ▪ The device can be connected to a +12VDC power source via its mini CT connector. GuardRFID recommends that you use both power sources—if the device has access to both battery power and wired power, the batteries act as a back-up in case the central power supply fails.

The device requires +12VDC, and should not draw more than 35mA current during normal operation. Note that if the device is powered by both 12VDC wired power and batteries, it uses the wired power in preference.
E-Kanban Call Button Installation and Configuration Guide Mounting the E-Kanban Call Button Mounting the E-Kanban Call Button The E-Kanban Call Button is a robust device designed for industrial environments, and can be mounted to a hard surface or left unmounted for portability (although this latter option will make wired power difficult). Note that mounting the device usually makes it difficult to access the back of the device.
