5. Operating Instructions
The ASHATA DC 12V Electronic Cabinet Lock operates on a simple principle:
- To Unlock: Apply DC 12V power to the lock's red and black wires. The solenoid mechanism will retract, unlocking the door or drawer.
- To Lock: Remove the DC 12V power. The lock will remain in an unlocked state until the door or drawer is closed. Once the door is closed, the lock mechanism will engage, securing the container.
This operational mode is designed for applications where the lock needs to be released temporarily and then automatically secured upon closure.
