Before you reach the door.
The AK-BKEY is Akuvox’s Bluetooth door-opening button. Unlike a card, it does not need to touch the reader — users press the button within range and the door opens.
This SKU is one Bkey fob.
You receive one Bkey with its CR2032 battery fitted. The Akuvox door phone or access terminal with Bluetooth enabled is sold separately.
- 1 × Akuvox Bkey Bluetooth key fob
- Compatible Akuvox door phone or access terminal with BLE enabled
- Akuvox ACR-CID01 (optional) to enrol at a desk
Hands-full friendly.
Useful for residents carrying shopping, staff pushing trolleys or anyone who would rather not tap a reader. The button press means doors open on purpose, not just because someone walked past.

Range
Up to 15 m on supported models.
Akuvox has tested distances of 15 m on R29C, X915 V2, X916 and S532, 10 m on A08 and S538, and 3–5 m on several other models, with current firmware.
The installer sets the BLE trigger signal strength in the device’s web interface to control how close users must be.

Answers
Common questions
Is this one fob or a pack?
One fob. Order one per user.
Which Akuvox devices support Bkey?
S539, S538, S535, S532, X916, X915 V2, X912, X910, R29C, A03, A05 V2, A08 and WR01, each from a minimum firmware version. Update the device first and enable BLE.
How far away does it work?
Akuvox has tested up to 15 m on R29C, X915 V2, X916 and S532, 10 m on A08 and S538, and 3–5 m on several other models. The installer sets the trigger signal strength on the device.
How do I enrol it?
On the door phone or terminal’s user page press Obtain, then press the Bkey within 10 cm of the device. At a desk, the ACR-CID01 reader captures it within 3 cm.
How long does the battery last?
About a year in normal use. It takes a CR2032 coin cell — rotate the panel to open the cover — and the light shows red when the battery is low.
Does it work like a card?
No. It uses Bluetooth, so the user presses the button within range instead of tapping a reader.
Bluetooth keys.
Bkeys open Akuvox door phones and A08 terminals over Bluetooth, without a phone or card.
