Lock Thermoactuator
Control voltage is applied to the lock
thermoactuator at the beginning of the cycle
making it extend and block the door locking
gear motor. This keeps the door locked for
approximately two minutes after a power failure
occurs. The lock thermoactuator does not delay
the door opening at the end of a normal cycle.
Unlock Thermoactuator
To insure that the lock thermoactuator has
retracted by the end of the cycle, one minute prior
to the end of the cycle, the unlock thermoactuator
is powered with control voltage making it extend
and unblock the door locking gear motor.
