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 Ć¢ā¬ā hospitals, campuses, and multi-tenant buildings where front-desk or security staff shouldn't be able to silence or reset the panel without authorization.
