The Lovato LPSS380R3131A is a robust three-position key-operated metal selector switch actuator designed for secure control of industrial machinery, electrical panels and automation systems. Part of the Lovato Platinum metal Ø22 mm series, it provides a 1 > 0 - 2 operating arrangement with a special 3131A key code for applications where access to machine functions or operating modes needs to be restricted.
The LPSS380R3131A features a black, non-illuminated key actuator with three positions: 1, 0 and 2. The selector incorporates spring return from position 1 to the central 0 position, while position 2 is maintained and allows key extraction in position 2. This combination makes it particularly useful for applications requiring a momentary command in one direction and a maintained, key-secured state in the other.
Designed for demanding industrial environments, the LPSS380R3131A provides IP66, IP67 and IP69K protection, a mechanical life of up to 1,000,000 operating cycles and an operating temperature range of -25 to +70 °C. Its aluminium and zinc-alloy construction provides excellent durability, while compatibility with the Lovato LPXAU120M mounting adapter enables integration with Platinum-series contact elements.
Key-operated selector switches are used where machine commands or operating modes need to be restricted to authorised personnel. The Lovato LPSS380R3131A combines two different operating behaviours in one three-position actuator: position 1 provides a momentary command with automatic return to 0, while position 2 remains selected after operation.
The ability to extract the 3131A key in position 2 allows the maintained operating state to be secured against unauthorised changes. Combined with rugged Platinum-series metal construction, high ingress protection and long mechanical endurance, the LPSS380R3131A provides a dependable solution for machinery, production equipment and industrial operator interfaces.

The LPSS380R3131A is a three-position key-operated selector switch actuator used for secure machine commands and operating-mode control in industrial machinery, electrical panels and automation systems.
The selector has a 1 > 0 - 2 operating arrangement. Position 1 is momentary and returns automatically to the central 0 position, while position 2 is maintained.
The key can be removed in position 2, allowing the maintained right-hand operating state to be secured against unauthorised changes.
The LPSS380R3131A uses the 3131A key code, distinguishing it from Lovato LPSS380 selector versions supplied with alternative key configurations.
The selector provides IP66, IP67 and IP69K IEC protection ratings and UL enclosure ratings including Type 4X, making it suitable for demanding industrial environments where resistance to dust and water ingress is required.
Lovato Electric Platinum-series selector switches are designed for dependable operator control in industrial machinery and automation systems, combining robust metal construction, secure key-operated switching and high environmental protection.
