Remote Key Switch On Plate For Enabling Or Disabling Common Controls (Lock/Unlock)

The RKEY is a single-gang key switch plate that gives installers a fast, tamper-resistant way to lock out or enable common annunciator controls in the field. Instead of leaving acknowledge, silence, and reset buttons exposed to anyone standing at the panel, a facility manager or fire watch turns a key to enable or disable those controls on demand.

Why installers use it

• Mounts directly to a standard single-gang electrical box, so it drops into existing annunciator or FACP enclosures without custom brackets
• Dry contact key switch output wires straight into the annunciator's control-inhibit input
• Clearly labeled Lock/Unlock icons on a brushed stainless faceplate keep the function obvious to anyone servicing the panel

Where it fits

Specify the RKEY anywhere a facility wants supervised control of remote annunciator buttons — hospitals, campuses, and multi-tenant buildings where front-desk or security staff shouldn't be able to silence or reset the panel without authorization.
