Alarm Controls Corporation KR-2-1-GR Key Switch Station

Product Description

The Alarm Controls Corporation KR-2-1-GR is a latching key switch station designed for access control and security applications. This single-gang unit operates as a maintained-contact switch, holding its switched position after the key is turned and released. It is installed at entry points, elevator lobbies, and controlled-access panels where a latching action is required to keep a circuit energized or de-energized until deliberately reset. Licensed electricians and security systems technicians are the primary installers of this type of device.

The KR-2-1-GR fits standard single-gang electrical boxes, making it a practical choice for new construction and retrofit access control projects. Its latching mechanism suits applications where the switched state must be maintained without continuous operator input, such as door release hold-open circuits, alarm shunt circuits, or panel lockout functions. It is sold as a single unit.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician or qualified security systems technician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. De-energize the circuit and verify the panel or access control system is powered down before wiring the switch station. Use the correct gauge conductors for the control circuit voltage and current rating of the system. Do not exceed the rated switching capacity of the device.
