2) What does SPDT mean for this switch lock?
SPDT stands for Single Pole Double Throw. This configuration provides one input terminal and two output terminals. The switch alternates between two circuits when the key is turned to different positions.
3) What are the key positions for 2-3 o'clock operation?
The 2-3 o'clock position refers to the key removal points on the lock face. The key can be removed when turned to either the 2 o'clock or 3 o'clock positions, allowing for different circuit states.
4) Is this switch compatible with standard low voltage systems?
Yes, this switch is designed for low voltage applications. Verify your system's voltage and current requirements match the switch specifications. Common applications include 12V and 24V DC access control systems.

SPDT switches typically provide three terminals: common, normally open, and normally closed. The common terminal connects to your power source, while the other two alternate connection based on key position. Verify terminal layout before wiring.
8) How do I install this electric switch lock?
Installation requires drilling a hole to the specified diameter, typically 1-1/8 inch for standard switches. Mount the switch body through the hole and secure with the provided nut. Connect wiring per the terminal diagram and test operation before final installation.
9) What maintenance does this switch lock require?
Regular maintenance includes cleaning the key cylinder and checking electrical connections for corrosion. Lubricate the cylinder mechanism periodically with graphite or appropriate lock lubricant. Test switch operation monthly to ensure proper circuit switching.

11) Can this switch handle outdoor installations?
Weather resistance depends on the specific model's IP rating and housing material. For outdoor applications, ensure the switch has appropriate weatherproofing or install in a protected enclosure. Check manufacturer specifications for environmental ratings.
12) What are the typical dimensions for mounting?
Standard electric switch locks require a 1-1/8 inch diameter mounting hole with approximately 2-3 inches of depth clearance behind the mounting surface. The face diameter is typically 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 inches. Verify exact dimensions before cutting mounting holes.
