BEST 1W7C2626 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What voltage and amperage can the BEST 1W7C2 switch lock handle?
The 1W7C2 switches 110 VAC or VDC at 10 amps on resistive loads, and 220 VAC or VDC at 5 amps on lamp loads. That covers most control-circuit and small motor-starter duty, but it is a switch, not a contactor, so size your load against those two ratings before wiring it in. Connections are screw terminals.
2) Can a BEST 1W7C2 switch lock be keyed into our existing BEST master key system?
It can. The 1W7C2 takes a BEST interchangeable core, so it keys into any existing BEST system and falls under the same master key hierarchy as the rest of the building's cylinders. For a facility already standardized on BEST small format IC, that means one key opens the doors and operates this switch, with no separate key to track.
3) What does SPST maintained action mean on a key switch, and is it the right one for my application?
Maintained means the switch stays where the key leaves it. Turn the 1W7C2 to on and the circuit stays closed until someone keys it back off, which is what you want for locking equipment out, disabling a control panel, or holding a system in a state overnight. It is not momentary, so it will not work where you need a pulse to release a door strike or start a timed cycle. SPST is a single circuit, on or off, one pole.
4) Do I need to buy a separate enclosure for the BEST 1W7C2 switch lock?
No, an OC1 box ships with the 1W7C2. What you still supply is the wire, the connectors and any conduit fittings, since the unit lands on screw terminals and takes whatever gauge suits the load you are switching.
5) Is the BEST 1W7C2 a door lock or an electrical switch?
It is a key-operated electrical switch, not a latch. Nothing on the 1W7C2 secures a door leaf; the key turns a switch that makes or breaks a circuit, which is how you get key control over elevators, control panels, gate operators, machine power and alarm shunts. If you need a keyed bored lock that actually latches, that is a different product.
6) Will a BEST 1W7C2 key switch work in an unheated warehouse or outdoors in freezing weather?
Rated from -40F to +150F (-40C to +65C), so unheated warehouses, mechanical penthouses, loading docks and cold storage are all inside the operating window. The temperature rating covers the switch itself; the enclosure and any conduit entry still have to suit the environment for wet or washdown locations.
7) What are the key positions on the BEST 1W7C2 and can the key be removed in both?
The 1W7C2 has key position 2 at 5 o'clock and key position 3 at 12 o'clock. Which positions release the key is set up at installation using the included OC1 box, so specify the arrangement you need for the application: some jobs want the key captive in the on position so no one walks away leaving equipment live.
8) What finishes does the BEST 1W series electric switch lock come in to match the rest of our hardware?
Nine finishes: 605 bright brass, 606 satin brass, 611 bright bronze, 612 satin bronze, 613 satin bronze oil-rubbed, 619 satin nickel, 625 bright chrome, 626 satin chrome, and 690 statuary dark bronze. Those are standard BHMA finish numbers, so 626 satin chrome or 630-family stainless-look openings can be matched by number rather than by eye.
9) Is a BEST 1W7C2 heavy enough for a high-traffic industrial application?
Grade 1, heavy duty, commercial rated. The cylinder uses a double D design that keeps it from slipping or spinning in the housing under repeated turning or a tamper attempt, which is the part that usually fails first on cheaper key switches.
