2. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Metra Electronic Lock Spring Open with Door Strike is a reliable electro-motor driven
lock. It is not a self-latch and electro unlatch model, but controls both, locking and
unlocking. Electronically controlled locking means that there are no uncertain situations
and that lock performs a self test for unlocking on each cycle. Only hi-tech, non-
corrosive, minimum maintenance parts are used. Patented ball-shape bolt and
adjustable door strike ensure unlocking also under considerable pressure in any
direction, thus compensating for shabby cabinets and hinge wear. It has 6-pole flat cable
connection to control electronics.
Surface mounting and connectors on the cable are further reasons that installation is
relatively simple even for retrofit jobs. It is highly secure, with holding force over 1000 N
(depends also on cabinet structure). Lock is designed to give an alarm signal even
before* a break-in occurs (*depends also on the cabinet, usually when force exceeds
800 N) giving extra time to react. Alarm triggers even if the strike has been pulled out
from the door and remains in the lock. When unlocked the built-in ejector pushes the
door to open.
3. EXTERNAL CONNECTIONS
E-Lock is connected to the control unit by
means of a six-wire flat cable. The lock, uncut
wire and connectors are supplied separately
for adjustability to different situations (wire -
lengths), easier process of wiring during
installation and later maintenance.
NOTE: the nose on connector must be on
upper side.
