Switch and Keyswitches What they do Switch: provides reliable on/off control of electrical circuits or signals. Keyswitches: combine switching function with keyed control to prevent unauthorized operation. Why you need this Control and safety: switch circuits exactly when needed; keyswitches add a physical lock so only authorized users can change the state. Prevents accidental or unauthorized operation in equipment, panels, or accesscontrolled systems. Simple, familiar interface that integrates with existing control wiring and panels. Key attributes Function: standard switching action; keyswitch option adds keyed lock mechanism for controlled access. Compatibility: designed to work with common electrical/control systems and standard panel cutouts; suitable for retrofit or installations. Size and mounting: fits typical control panel and enclosure configurations; available mounting options for panel or surface installation. Material and construction: durable materials suited for control and industrial use; engineered for repeated operation. Performance and reliability: consistent switching action, secure key retention when required, and lowmaintenance operation. Practical applications Industrial control panels: use switches for routine control and keyswitches to limit access to critical functions. Building access or security systems: keyswitches enable authorizedonly activation of alarms, locks, or door mechanisms. Equipment lockout and maintenance: use keyswitches to lock out power during servicing, preventing accidental startup. Installation and maintenance Installs with standard wiring practices; compatible with common terminal types and control voltages. Simple replacement or retrofit into existing panels; minimal maintenance required—periodic inspection and cleaning of contacts and key mechanism as needed. Choose this solution when you need straightforward circuit control with the option of keyed security. Switches provide reliable switching; keyswitches add controlled, authorized access without significant changes to existing systems.
