1.2 Basic Functionality
PTM 21x devices contain an electro-dynamic energy transducer which is actuated by a bow.
Figure 2 Drawing with highlighted energy bow
This bow is pushed by an appropriate push button, switch rocker or a similar construction
mounted onto the device. An internal spring will release the energy bow as soon as it is not
pushed down anymore.
When the energy bow is pushed down, electrical energy is harvested and a radio telegram is
transmitted. Releasing the energy bow similarly generates energy which is used to transmit
an another radio telegram.
