Lock Actuator Operation: Notes

The lock actuators contain the electrical motor drive, the lock/ unlock switch contacts and the integral single/double lock limiting switch.

The actuators control the mechanical locking/unlocking function of the doors by sliding two protruding levers. The precise positioning of the levers provides the unlock, single lock and double lock positions of the latch mechanism.

The electro-mechanical operation of all the lock positions are provided in the appropriate articles
