Setup and Installation
Proper installation is crucial for the safe and effective operation of your key switch lock. Please follow these steps carefully.
Tools and Materials Required:
- Drill with appropriate drill bits (for 19mm / 3/4" cut hole and 4.5mm / 0.18" mounting holes).
- Screwdriver (for mounting screws).
- Wire strippers/crimpers.
- Multimeter (for verifying connections, optional but recommended).
- Safety glasses and gloves.
Installation Steps:
- Prepare Mounting Surface: Identify a suitable flat surface for mounting the switch panel. Ensure there is enough space behind the panel for wiring. The panel size is 115 x 70mm (4.53" x 2.76").
- Drill Main Cut Hole: Using a 19mm (3/4") drill bit, create a circular cut hole for the key switch barrel.
- Drill Mounting Holes: Mark and drill two 4.5mm (0.18") holes for the mounting screws. The distance between these holes is 83mm (3.27").
- Connect Wiring: The switch features DPST (Double Pole, Single Throw) contacts with 2 Normally Open (NO), 2 Normally Closed (NC), and 2 Common (COM) terminals. The wires are color-coded for easier identification. Connect the switch wires to your access control system according to its wiring diagram. The cable length is approximately 20mm (0.79").
- Mount the Switch: Insert the key switch barrel through the main cut hole. Align the panel's mounting holes with the drilled holes and secure the panel using the provided mounting screws.
- Test Functionality: After installation, insert a key and turn it to the ON and OFF positions to ensure proper operation and verify that it controls the connected device as intended.

Operating Instructions
Operating the uxcell Key Switch Lock is straightforward:
- To Activate (ON): Insert one of the provided keys into the lock cylinder. Turn the key clockwise to the "ON" position. The key can be removed in this position.
- To Deactivate (OFF): Turn the key counter-clockwise to the "OFF" position. The key can also be removed in this position.
The switch maintains its state (ON or OFF) until the key is used to change it. This ensures continuous control over the connected system.
Maintenance
The uxcell Key Switch Lock is designed for low maintenance. Follow these guidelines to ensure its longevity:
- Cleaning: Periodically wipe the stainless steel panel with a soft, damp cloth to remove dust and grime. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish or markings.
- Key Care: Keep the keys clean and free of debris. Avoid forcing the key if it feels stiff; a small amount of graphite lubricant can be applied to the keyhole if necessary, but avoid oil-based lubricants.
- Connection Check: Annually, or as needed, inspect the wiring connections behind the panel to ensure they remain secure and free from corrosion. Ensure power is disconnected before inspection.
- Environmental Protection: While the stainless steel panel offers good durability, avoid exposing the internal components to excessive moisture or extreme temperatures, which could affect performance.
