Frequently Asked Questions

What is a narrow key switch?

A narrow key switch is a compact version of a standard key switch designed for installation on narrow door frames, mullions, and other restricted mounting locations.

What is maintained operation?

Maintained operation means the switch remains in its selected position until the key is turned again.

What is the KS-001N-3POS used for?

The KS-001N-3POS is a 3-position double pole narrow key switch designed for applications where keyed control of multiple switch positions is required, such as Open / Off / Close or similar control functions, depending on the connected equipment.

Can the KS-001N be surface mounted?
