Re: Home Vision Question

[geraint@xxxxxxx]

The lock circuit diagram has listed NO, C, NC....but on the board
itself only has a + and -  (and neither of them are on the contacts
it shows)

The VisAccess system does do a temporary latching, so that part would
be ok.

So I am still a little confused as I don't really understand relays
too much.

I have therefore the following :

>From the ViaAccess a positive and negative wire, this feeds 12v on
proximity, and 0v the rest of the time.

I have the lock circuit board which even though it doesn't have a
molex header, I could still solder onto the circuit board

1 +
2 -
3 NO
4 C
5 NC

so any ideas what goes to what ?

Many Thanks

Geraint (erm, very confused, think i'll stick to building servers)
