Leviton Telcom 1287-L Key Lock Switch Single-pole

Product Description

The LEVITON TELCOM 1287-L is a single-pole, maintained-contact key lock switch designed for applications where controlled, secure switching is required. A maintained-contact configuration means the switch holds its state after the key is turned and released, rather than returning to a default position. This makes it suitable for access control, equipment lockout, or circuit enable/disable functions in low-voltage and communications infrastructure installations. Licensed electricians and systems integrators are the primary installers of this type of device.

The 1287-L is intended for use in environments where unauthorized operation of a circuit or device must be prevented. Typical install scenarios include electrical panels, communications enclosures, and control stations in both commercial and light industrial settings. The key-operated mechanism adds a physical security layer to switching functions, making it appropriate for any application where standard toggle or pushbutton switches are insufficient from a security standpoint.

Key Features

• Single-pole switching configuration for straightforward circuit control
• Maintained-contact operation holds switch state after key is released
• Key-operated mechanism restricts unauthorized switching
• Sold as an individual unit for single-switch replacement or new installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation key lock switch for single-pole maintained-contact switching applications in low-voltage, communications, and electrical control systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. De-energize the circuit completely before removing an existing switch or wiring a new one. Verify that the maintained-contact configuration matches the intended circuit logic before finalizing wiring. Do not exceed the rated electrical parameters for this switch type as specified by the manufacturer.
