The Draper SP-KSM-3-Position Key Switch (Momentary) is the advanced upgrade your control panel has been waiting for. This sophisticated device replaces the standard KS-3 three-position key switch with a momentary, spring-loaded action that delivers precise Up and Down directional control while preserving the security of a keyed mechanism. Built for reliability in demanding environments, the SP-KSM-3 marries effortless operation with robust security, making it an ideal solution for single- or multi-station control systems across manufacturing lines, stage rigging, automated equipment, and other applications where intentional control and access security are critical. When you need a switch that combines operational clarity with protection against unauthorized use, this Draper innovation stands out as a trusted choice for engineers and technicians who demand performance and peace of mind from every press or key turn.

  • Momentary Up/Down action with secure key control: This switch delivers precise, spring-loaded directional actuation (Up and Down) while the key mechanism ensures that only authorized personnel can operate the system. The momentary design guarantees that the circuit is completed only while the handle is engaged, reducing the risk of unintended actions and offering a crisp, tactile response that operators can rely on in real-time workflows.
  • Secure access, scalable protection: By integrating a programmable or keyed lock, the SP-KSM-3 adds a critical layer of security to control panels where access must be limited. This is especially valuable in environments with multiple operators or in scenarios where safety and asset protection are paramount. The keyed feature helps prevent tampering, accidental operation, and unauthorized use, preserving both personnel safety and system integrity.
  • Easy replacement and retrofit compatibility: The SP-KSM-3 is designed to be a straightforward replacement for the standard KS-3. Operators and technicians can upgrade without a complete panel redesign, preserving the existing footprint and mounting arrangements. This seamless retrofit capability reduces downtime, minimizes wiring changes, and allows for a quick transition to enhanced control with minimal disruption to production schedules.
  • Durability for demanding environments: Built to endure the rigors of daily use in industrial, stage, and machine-control settings, the SP-KSM-3 combines rugged construction with reliable actuation. The switch is engineered to withstand high-cycle operation, resist wear, and maintain consistent performance over time, contributing to lower maintenance costs and longer mean time between failures (MTBF).
  • Versatile control for single- or multi-station systems: The SP-KSM-3-Position Key Switch supports flexible control schemes, enabling it to function effectively in both single-station configurations and more complex multi-station networks. Whether you’re coordinating a single machine or synchronizing actions across multiple control points, the momentary Up/Down interface keeps operators in clear control, while the security of the key mechanism ensures systemic integrity.

how to install Draper SP-KSM-3-Position Key Switch

  • Power down the system and remove any existing KS-3 switch from the control panel, ensuring that the panel is safe and accessible for maintenance. Verify that the cutout dimensions, mounting hardware, and wiring conform to the SP-KSM-3 specifications to ensure a proper fit.
  • Prepare the SP-KSM-3 by inspecting the mounting surface and wiring terminals. If the panel uses a keyed lock, align the key slot to ensure smooth engagement and full rotation without obstruction. Confirm that the Up and Down actuators align with the panel’s front face for ergonomic operation.
  • Install the SP-KSM-3 into the panel cutout, securing it with the appropriate mounting hardware. Tighten mounting screws evenly to avoid distorting the faceplate, while keeping the switch firmly seated to prevent vibration or misalignment during operation.
  • Connect the wiring according to the panel’s schematic or the Draper installation guide. Ensure connections are clean, secure, and insulated to withstand operational conditions. Double-check that the wiring corresponds to the Up and Down circuits and that the key switch is wired to the control logic as intended for secure operation.
  • Reassemble the panel, restore power, and test the switch in a controlled sequence. With the key engaged, operate the Up and Down directions to verify that the momentary actuation reliably completes the intended circuit and that the return-to-neutral action resets smoothly after release. Conduct functional tests across all affected stations if used in a multi-station configuration.
  • Document the installation details for maintenance records, including the date of retrofit, any changes to wiring, and the observed switch behavior. This record will assist future servicing and help ensure continued reliability of the control system.

Frequently asked questions

  • What is the primary advantage of the SP-KSM-3-Position Key Switch? The primary advantage is combining secure, key-based access with precise momentary Up/Down control. This ensures that only authorized operators can issue directional commands while providing a clear, tactile interface for fast, reliable operation in busy environments.
  • Can the SP-KSM-3 replace a KS-3 in any Draper panel? The SP-KSM-3 is designed to replace the standard KS-3 in compatible Draper control panels. For a seamless retrofit, verify that the mechanical footprint, mounting, and electrical connections align with the existing KS-3 configuration. If unsure, consult Draper’s installation guidelines or a qualified technician.
  • Is the switch suitable for multi-station control? Yes. The SP-KSM-3 supports single- or multi-station configurations, enabling coordinated control across several points while maintaining individual security and directional control. This is particularly valuable in production lines and stage setups where synchronized actions are critical.
  • What does “momentary” mean in this context? Momentary action means the Up or Down circuit is completed only while the switch is actively pressed and the spring-loaded mechanism returns to its neutral position once released. This behavior helps prevent unintended movements and provides precise control timing.
  • What maintenance is required for the SP-KSM-3? The SP-KSM-3 is designed for durability and low maintenance. Periodic inspections to verify wiring integrity, mechanical smoothness, and keying operation are advised. If the panel is exposed to harsh environments, inspect seals and fastenings to ensure continued performance and security.

Not very durable
It took my dog less than 5 minutes to chew off one side of handle. The rest of the ball seems to be durable with him chewing and playing with it. Very disappointing since wanted to use the handle for tug a war with dog.

A Jolly Ball - A Treat Ball!
Color: Red + Yellow
In the past, I got my girls a doggie jolly ball. They played with that thing until they tore it apart! I've also gotten them several different, but similar, treat balls over the years. Fast forward to present! I found the best of both worlds! A Jolly Treat Ball! Upon receiving these two balls, first, I was so glad to find that they didn't stink! Literally, no terrible smell! YAY! Second, the jolly treat balls are durable. I placed a large treat in each of the balls and handed them over. Each girl took the ball by the handle and pranced to their desired location to devour their treat! Devour, they did... NOT! Because of the durability and construction of these balls, it took them a good 5 minutes to fully get each morsel of their large cookie! YAY! Once emptied, I asked them to bring it. They each picked up their ball, by the handle and brought it to me. Too cute - they each got just one more treat! Now that they've utilized their jolly treat ball I have yet to see a single tooth mark in the ball. It has withstood their chewing to release the treat and hasn't been marred or scarred by their strong teeth. I've also had the opportunity; after each use, to wash the jolly treat balls. They even withstand a scrubby to get them cleaned! If I could, this "Durable Dog Chew Ball Toy" would get 10 stars! I'm one happy dog momma!
