Description

The Knightsbridge 10AX 1-gang DP key switch is designed specifically for testing emergency lighting circuits, with the faceplate engraved "EMG LTG TEST" for clear identification. The double-pole switching isolates both live and neutral lines when activated, allowing authorised personnel to simulate mains failure and verify that emergency lighting systems switch to battery backup as required by BS 5266.

Intended for commercial, institutional and public buildings where emergency lighting compliance must be demonstrated — offices, hospitals, schools, care homes, retail — the key-operated mechanism restricts access to trained staff and prevents accidental activation. The switch fits a standard 16mm minimum back box and operates at 10AX on 230V 50Hz mains, suitable for typical emergency lighting circuit loads.

The white rounded-edge faceplate is moulded from thermoset resin with a 7mm contoured profile and an anti-microbial surface treatment that inhibits bacterial growth on high-touch surfaces. The IP20 rating makes this suitable for indoor dry locations. The key is included and can be removed when the switch is in either position, allowing the switch to be left in the test state during a scheduled test cycle without leaving the key accessible.

Frequently Asked

What is this switch used for?

This key switch is designed to test emergency lighting circuits by simulating mains failure. When the key is turned, the double-pole switching isolates the circuit, forcing emergency lights to switch to battery backup so that compliance with BS 5266 testing requirements can be verified.

Can the key be removed in both positions?

Yes. The key can be removed when the switch is in either the normal or test position. This allows the switch to be left in test mode during a scheduled test cycle without leaving the key accessible to unauthorised personnel.

What back box depth is required?

A 16mm minimum mounting box depth is needed. The recessed depth of the switch mechanism is 13.2mm, and the faceplate adds 7mm of projection from the wall once fitted.

What does the anti-microbial surface do?

The faceplate is treated with an anti-microbial additive that inhibits bacterial growth on the surface. This is particularly useful in hospitals, care homes and other environments where hygiene on high-touch surfaces is a concern.
