Why Choose the EMAS CP101AC30 Key-Operated Control Switch?
The EMAS CP101AC30 is a robust 22 mm key-operated control switch designed for controlled selection of industrial machinery, electrical panel and automation functions. Part of the EMAS CP Series, it combines three maintained positions with two normally open contacts and removable-key operation.
This stay-put control switch has three positions marked II–0–I, with a 60° switching angle between positions. Each selected position remains engaged until the switch is deliberately operated again, making the CP101AC30 suitable for maintained directional, operating-mode and function selection.
The key can be removed in all three positions, allowing an authorised operator to secure the switch in position II, 0 or I without leaving the key inserted. With an AC-15 operational current rating of 4 A at 230 V AC, IP65 front protection and a standard 22 mm mounting diameter, it is suitable for machine panels, operator stations and industrial control enclosures.
Key Advantages
- Key-operated control helps manage access to industrial machinery functions.
- Three maintained positions support two controlled functions and a central neutral position.
- Key removal in all positions allows any selected state to be secured without leaving the key inserted.
- Two normally open contacts provide control-circuit switching for industrial equipment.
- Stay-put operation maintains the selected position until deliberately changed.
- IP65 front protection provides resistance to dust and water jets when correctly installed.
- Standard 22 mm panel mounting simplifies integration into industrial control equipment.

Secure Three-Position Machine Control
Three-position maintained key switches provide controlled selection between two machine functions and a central neutral position. Because the selected state remains active after operation, this type of switch is suitable for operating-mode selection, directional control and equipment functions that must remain engaged without continuous operator input.
The EMAS CP101AC30 allows the key to be removed from any position, enabling authorised personnel to secure the switch in II, 0 or I. Its two normally open contacts and standard 22 mm mounting format support straightforward integration into compatible industrial panels and operator stations.
Typical Applications
- Forward and reverse machinery controls.
- Industrial operating-mode selection.
- Production and assembly equipment.
- Conveyor and material handling systems.
- Pump and motor control panels.
- Operator control stations.
- Access-controlled automation systems.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the EMAS CP101AC30 used for?
The CP101AC30 provides key-controlled selection between two maintained machine functions and a central 0 position in industrial control and automation systems.
How many switch positions does the CP101AC30 have?
The switch has three positions marked II–0–I, with a 60° switching angle between positions.
In which positions can the key be removed?
The key can be removed in all three positions, allowing the selected II, 0 or I state to be maintained after key removal.
Does the CP101AC30 return automatically to the 0 position?
No. The CP101AC30 has a stay-put mechanism, so it remains in the selected position until it is deliberately switched again.
What contact configuration does the CP101AC30 have?
The switch is fitted with two normally open contacts, identified as a 2NO contact configuration.
