Provide secure manual control and clear visual system-status indication with the Schlage Electronics 653-04-L2 Heavy-Duty Keyswitch.

Part of the Schlage 650 Series, the 653-04-L2 combines a single-direction maintained SPDT switch with integrated red and green LED indicators, making it ideal for access-control, electric-lock, alarm, door-control, and security-system applications.

The patented magnetic spring design allows installers to configure the keyswitch for clockwise or counterclockwise operation, while the maintained-action function keeps the switch in its selected state rather than automatically returning like a momentary switch.

Maintained SPDT Operation

The 653-04 uses a maintained single-direction SPDT switch.

SPDT provides:

• Common

• Normally Open

• Normally Closed

This allows the keyswitch to change between two electrical states for applications requiring sustained control rather than a momentary pulse.

Common applications include:

• Lock / unlock control

• Access-control override

• Electric-lock control

• Alarm bypass

• Door release

• System enable / disable

• Automatic-door control

• Security-system functions

Field-Configurable Key Direction

Schlage's patented magnetic spring design allows the installer to configure the keyswitch for either:

• Clockwise activation

• Counterclockwise activation

The mechanism can also be configured between momentary and maintained functions on applicable 650 Series models.

This 653-04 configuration is specified as maintained operation.

L2 Dual LED Option

The L2 suffix adds two status LEDs:

Red LED
Green LED

The LEDs operate on:

12VDC or 24VDC

Dual-color status indication is useful for displaying conditions such as:

• Locked / Unlocked

• Secure / Unsecure

• Armed / Disarmed

• Door released / Door secured

• System active / Inactive

The actual meaning of each LED is determined by the system wiring and access-control design.

Heavy-Duty Stainless Steel Faceplate

The standard 653-04-L2 uses a:

2-3/4" Wide x 4-1/2" High

stainless-steel faceplate.

Standard finish:

630 / US32D Satin Stainless Steel

Schlage specifies the standard plate as .035" stainless steel.

The Schlage 650 Series accepts compatible mortise cylinders using a straight-type cam.

Supported cylinder lengths include:

1-1/8" Mortise Cylinder

Installs directly into the keyswitch.

No blocking ring required.

1-1/4" Mortise Cylinder

Supplied Less Cylinder

The standard 653-04-L2 is supplied without a mortise cylinder.

This allows the installer to match the keyswitch to the facility's existing key system.

Schlage offers optional factory cylinder configurations including:

• CYL – Schlage Everest mortise cylinder, keyed different

• CYL-KA – Schlage Everest mortise cylinder, keyed alike

Unless one of these options is specifically ordered, the cylinder and keys are not included.

UL 294 Listed

The Schlage 650 Series is UL 294 Listed for access-control system applications.

This makes the keyswitch suitable for use as a control component in properly designed commercial access-control systems.
