AtSymmetryweareseriousaboutSAFETY!That’swhywe use only the best. The Relialign series by Honeywell, electromechanical door interlock holds the door in place and prevents it from being opened when not desired. A number of design features contribute to its enhanced safety, reduction of nuisance stoppages and call-backs, as well as simplified wiring and installation. A Honeywell MICRO SWITCH is used to indicate door closure, providing an extra level of reliability.
Reliability and smooth operations are also enhanced by use of a metal latch that is less susceptible to bending and breakage than plastic. The lack of open or exposed contactsminimizesthepossibilityofownersmakingmanualadjustments.Finally,theengagementofthelatchinitiates electrical contact.
Thesnapactioncammechanismrequireslessadjustmentsetup time and reduces door movement that could lead to a nuisance shutdown. Connection options include a 6-pinterminalstriporaCat5-pinconnector,simplifyinginstallation. The Relialign Series is designed to work seamlessly with your Symmetry elevator.
