The APEM A018323 is a professional-grade, 2-position latching keylock switch designed for industrial control panels requiring secure, tamper-resistant operation. Built to fit standard 16mm cut-outs, this switch offers robust IP65-rated protection against dust and moisture, making it ideal for demanding environments. While it provides excellent durability and reliability, users should note that the switch head requires the separate purchase of a compatible switch block to complete the assembly for operation.

No, the APEM A018323 is an operator head only. You must purchase a compatible APEM A01 series switch block separately.
No, the design allows for key removal only in the 'off' position.
The switch is designed to fit a standard 16mm diameter panel cut-out.
IP65 indicates that the switch is dust-tight and protected against water projected from a nozzle.
It is recommended to keep the two provided keys in a secure location. You should contact your supplier to determine if replacement keys are available for your specific key code.
Ensure the switch is properly aligned with the switch block and that the mounting nut is not over-tightened, which can warp the housing.
Verify that the correct switch block is installed and that the latching mechanism on the block is compatible with the 2-position head.
Check the mounting gasket for damage and ensure the panel nut is tightened to the manufacturer's recommended torque.
To install the A018323, insert the operator into a standard 16mm panel cut-out and secure it using the provided mounting hardware. Once mounted, attach a compatible APEM A01 series switch block to the rear of the operator to complete the electrical connection. Ensure all connections are fully seated to maintain the integrity of the modular assembly. For care, keep the key cylinder free of debris to ensure smooth operation. Periodically inspect the panel gasket for wear to maintain the IP65 seal, and use only a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth for cleaning; avoid harsh chemical solvents that could damage the switch housing.
