Alarm Controls Corporation MCK-4-4WP Weatherproof Switch Plate

Product Description

The ALARM CONTROLS CORPORATION MCK-4-4WP is a single-gang stainless steel switch plate assembly featuring a DPDT (double-pole, double-throw) alternate action switch in a weatherproof enclosure. This unit is designed for access control and egress applications where a durable, weather-resistant momentary or latching switch is required at an entry or exit point. The alternate action mechanism allows the switch to toggle between states on successive actuations, making it suitable for control circuits that require maintained contact logic. Licensed electricians and security system installers typically handle this type of device.

This switch plate is used in commercial and light industrial access control systems, including exterior door entry points, gate control panels, and perimeter egress stations where exposure to moisture or outdoor conditions is a factor. The weatherproof rating makes it appropriate for covered outdoor installations such as building entrances, loading docks, and controlled access lanes. It ships as a single unit and is sold individually.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements for low-voltage access control wiring and weatherproof device enclosures. Disconnect and de-energize all control circuits before wiring or replacing this switch assembly. Verify that the mounting box is rated for outdoor or damp locations if the installation site is exposed to moisture. Do not exceed the switch contact ratings when integrating into control panel wiring.
