Application

Model 2000, 2400 and 2500 Series switch controls provide fully mechanical pushbutton access control for electrically operated equipment. After entering the correct combination, the thumbturn may be activated once before returning to locked mode. Depending on the model, the thumbturn may open or close a momentary or maintained switch, or trip a timed switch that remains energized for an adjustable length of time. Designed for surface mounting on a wall or in a wall, any distance from the device being controlled.

Model 2000, 2400 and 2500 Series switch controls are ideal for limiting access to elevators, parking garages, gates, magnetic locks, and electric strike doors such as apartment building entrances, alarm systems or any other security sensitive electrical equipment that incorporates a latching relay (Models 2000-3, 2410, 2420, 2510, 2520), or does not incorporate a latching relay (Models 2000-1, 2430, 2440, 2450, 2530, 2540) in a commercial, industrial, or residential setting.

The switch controls are perfect for locations with regular personnel turnover such as data processing centers, employee entrances, service elevators, R&D labs, and restricted areas in hospitals, offices, hotels and airports. Can be used as a convenient and secure reset switch on equipment such as escalators, elevators, and machinery for use after an emergency shutdown.

Model 2500 is especially suited as a remote alarm station, with two LEDs to indicate whether the system is armed or disarmed.
