older Mercedes Benz vehicles and consists of electrical switches (built into
pneumatic actuators) which supply 12 volts or ground to a pneumatic pump.
The switches are operated when the doors are locked or unlocked by the
inside doorlock knob or the key in the exterior doorlock cylinders. The
polarity supplied by the switch determines if the pump sends vacuum or
pressure through hoses to the actuator. Since the pump must operate for
about 3 seconds, the doorlock pulse must be changed (Programmable Fea-
ture #11). An alternative interface for vacuum doorlock systems is to add an
actuator to one of the doors.
Technically, the vacuum doorlock system can be described as a hybrid
of all of the three basic power doorlock types; the vehicles activation wire
reverses polarity, with Negative operating the pump to lock the doors, and
Positive voltage operating the pump to unlock the doors.
