Selected access areas are programmed at pickup and cleared automatically when the key is returned. ## Developed in Cooperation with iLOQ The LivionKey20 product family was developed by Livion and iLOQ for automated iLOQ S5 key handovers and returns. > We serve customers and resellers across Europe. ## A Controlled Handover for the Administrator. Simple Pickup for the User. The administrator defines the handover. LivionKey20 Outdoor programs the key at pickup, clears its access areas at return and records the events. ### Administrator Flow: Define and Follow the Handover Create the handover in LivionKey or automate it from your own system through an integration. 1. **Select the user and validity:** Choose who receives the key and how long the handover remains valid. 2. **Select the access areas:** Select the iLOQ S5 access areas already created in iLOQ Manager, either in LivionKey or through an integration. 3. **LivionKey sends the PIN:** The personal PIN and pickup instructions are sent automatically by text message or email. 4. **Follow pickup and return:** Pickup and return events are available in the event history. ### User Flow: Collect, Use and Return The user needs only the personal PIN. No separate app is required. 1. **Receive the PIN:** The user receives a personal PIN and pickup instructions. 2. **Enter the PIN at the automat:** The user arrives at LivionKey20 Outdoor and enters the personal PIN. 3. **Collect the programmed key:** The automat programs the selected access areas and releases the iLOQ S5 key. 4. **Return the key:** The automat clears the access areas and records the return for the next handover. ## Why LivionKey20 Outdoor Move the pickup point outside while keeping each key handover controlled, traceable and ready for outdoor conditions. - **Flexible Outdoor Placement:** Install the key automat by an entrance, gate or remote site where users can reach it when needed. - **No Active Access While Stored:** An iLOQ S5 key in the automat has no active access areas. It receives only the areas selected for the valid handover. - **Every Handover Is Traceable:** Pickup and return events are recorded, giving administrators a clear event history without a manual sign-out process. - **Built for Outdoor Conditions:** The wall-mounted device operates from −40 to +40 °C and has an IP43 protection class. ## Where Automated Key Handover Makes the Biggest Difference Automation delivers the greatest value when handover and return volumes are high, keys must be available around the clock or users need fast service. It reduces manual staff work and keeps the process running smoothly during peak periods. - **Maintenance and Contractor Access:** Give technicians a task-specific key directly at the site without arranging a staffed handover or a separate trip to collect it. - **Real Estate and Property Management:** Arrange key handovers for residents, maintenance companies and contractors across properties without tying pickup to office hours. - **Student Housing:** Handle semester move-in peaks and let students collect keys at different times without long service-desk queues. - **Cities and Municipalities:** Arrange key handovers for employees, contractors and facility users across locations, including outside service-desk hours. - **Healthcare:** Give employees, temporary staff and maintenance teams the iLOQ S5 key required for their task across different shifts. - **Hotels and Accommodation:** Offer guests flexible iLOQ S5 key pickup and return, including outside reception hours. ## Manage Key Handovers in LivionKey or Automate Them Through an Integration Create handovers directly in LivionKey, or connect the process through the REST API to a work management, booking, HR or other system. ### How an Automated Key Handover Works 1. **A Work Order or Booking Starts the Handover:** The source system provides the details of who needs the key and when. 2. **The User Receives a Personal PIN:** LivionKey creates the handover and sends the PIN by text message or email. 3. **The Key Is Programmed at Pickup:** The automat adds the selected access areas to the key and clears them at return. Pickup and return are recorded in LivionKey. ### Automate Through the REST API Connect the handover to the system your team already uses. Livion's REST API is designed for easy integration, so implementation is typically straightforward. ### Manage Exceptions Flexibly in LivionKey Handle handovers that fall outside the integration directly in LivionKey. Create the handover, select access areas and follow events in the browser-based interface. ## Technical Specifications - **Dimensions (W × H × D):** 358 × 387 × 135 mm - **Weight:** 15 kg - **Capacity:** 20 iLOQ S5 keys - **Power supply:** 230 V AC with up to 6 hours of battery backup - **Operating temperature:** −40…+40 °C - **Connectivity:** 4G LTE, WLAN and Ethernet [Download Datasheet (PDF)](https://livionkey.com/livionkey20-outdoor-datasheet.md) ### Installing the Automat Indoors?

A conventional key automat hands out a key reserved for a specific use. LivionKey20 programs the required access areas to an iLOQ S5 key at pickup and clears them at return. The same physical key can then be programmed for an entirely different use, allowing even large operations to be served with fewer keys. ### Is it secure to store iLOQ S5 keys outdoors? Keys stored in the automat have no active access areas. The selected areas are programmed only for a valid handover and cleared automatically when the key is returned. Integrated sensors also detect potential burglary attempts. ### Can LivionKey20 Outdoor connect to another system? Yes. Livion's REST API can connect the handover process to your own system. Integration is typically straightforward, and handovers outside the integration can be managed in the browser-based LivionKey interface. ### What is the difference between LivionKey20 and LivionKey20 Outdoor? Both automate the same iLOQ S5 key workflow. LivionKey20 is for dry, heated indoor spaces. LivionKey20 Outdoor operates at −40…+40 °C and has an IP43 protection class. ## Enable Around-the-Clock iLOQ S5 Key Pickup and Return *Automate Key Handovers* Tell us about your key users, handover volumes and site requirements.
