Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Euro profile key switch?

A Euro Profile Key Switch is a keyed electrical switch designed to operate using a standard Euro profile cylinder, commonly used in access control and security installations.

Is a Euro profile cylinder included?

No. A Euro profile cylinder is required for operation and must be supplied separately.

What contact outputs are available?

The switch provides COM, NO, and NC contacts for flexible wiring and integration.

What is the difference between the KS-600 and KS-601?

The KS-600 features maintained operation, meaning the switch remains in its selected position until operated again. The KS-601 features momentary operation, automatically returning to its original position when the key is released.
