Kaba Access Control announced a new generation of self-powered electronic access control — the E-Plex 2000 Series with PowerStar technology. Patented PowerStar technology charges the lock with each turn of the lever, thereby eliminating the need to ever buy or replace any batteries. Additionally, there is no wiring to, or through the door. To operate the E-Plex 2000 with PowerStar, you simply turn the lever to power-up the electronics and enter your valid access code. Turn the lever again to gain access. The E-Plex 2000 Series is a greener choice because there are no batteries to replace that would eventually end up in landfills. In addition, the lock is fully RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances) compliant, meaning it is free of toxic metals such as mercury, lead, cadmium, etc. Also, since there is no external wiring, installation is easy and reliable over time.
