Explanation:
'conmutador para cierre de seguridades y selección de dirección integrado'

'integrado' qualifies 'conmutador', not 'dirección. If that were the case, 'integrado' would have to be in the feminine form, since it's 'LA selección de dirección'.

I don't think lifts can be steered so I think it's better to translate 'dirección' as 'direction', because lifts travel in either an upwards or downwards direction.

Elevators are typically controlled from the outside by a call box, which has up and down buttons, at each stop. When pressed at a certain floor, the button calls the elevator to pick up more passengers. If the particular elevator is currently serving traffic in a certain direction, it will only answer calls in the same direction unless there are no more calls beyond that floor.

To be more precise, it's the lift cages/cars that move up and down.

Integrado = integrated or built-in; dirección = direction

As for the whole translation, I think it depends on how you've translated the rest. But, anyway, here we go:

'built-in commutator for closing safety switches and up and down/direction buttons'

I did ask an engineer friend of mine about this and although his words were slightly different- he suggested installed rather than integrated- the concept is clearly the same.

agree  Jorge Merino: So, your answer would be...? Yeah, something like that, "integrated/built-in switch/conmutator" for...

  -> Yes, you're right. I only translated 'dirección' because I thought the asker would know how to translate 'integrado' // Thank you, Jorge :)
