"Kill Key" switch

[FireEMSPolice]

I wanted to install a "kill key" so the warning equipment and controllers only function when there is a key in place and also I can remove it when the car is at the shop or something. Any one got a link to such a device??

I've used marine battery switches before, something like this: https://www.delcity.net/store/Maste...p_kw=&mp_mt=&gclid=CIXGuu7ItM8CFZeEaQodBJYHjA

I've also seen prettier chrome style that would recess into a console better, but I also like the big orange plastic key.

If you install a solenoid on your master power you could use any ignition/keyswitch you'd like. Many auto stores sell generic key switches.

It's kind of a novelty thing but cool as hell. We use stand alone rfid card readers with a solenoid and a timer. We use 9322 micros and hide them in the dash. They are 12 volt.

This can be accomplished rather easily by installing a "master" switch that only you know it's use. I've had a rectangle flush mount toggle on the front of my console where I had to slip my hand to switch it if I wanted to disable the audio/visual on my pov.
In my case it was a master for the ign+ feed, on a pa640.. If done well, it's just as secure as a key switch, faster than a key too.

I was thinking a key that way I can take it with me

I'm very curious about that. You need to use a RFID card everytime you want to use the lights, or am I getting this wrong?

We set them up with 15 minutes on a timer after you present the card.we also put a safety so the lights only work in park Once vehicle goes into gear they are disabled

We are running 200 amp timers (MZL-200) from AC/DC Industries. We put a keyed switch on the ground side of the timer and it kills everything that's wired through the timer. This gets you a keyed master kill switch and a timer to kill everything so you don't lose your battery.

On the smart controllers like the SS2000, I just cut the trace on the board and install a keyswitch between them which gets mounted on the side of the console.

Of course if you are using something other than a relay controlled device, you are better off just putting one of those 200A cutoffs on the 12V rail you use for the lights.
