The solenoid lock denotes a latch for electrical locking and unlocking. It is available in unlocking in the power-on mode type, and locking and keeping in the power-on mode type, which can be used selectively for situations. The power-on unlocking type enables unlocking only while the solenoid is powered on. A door with this type is locked and not opened in case of power failure or wire disconnection, ensuring excellent safety. This type is used mainly for places requiring crime prevention. The power-on locking type can lock a door while the solenoid is powered on. If the power is disconnected, the door is unlocked. This type unlocks the door in case of wire disconnection due to a fire or accident, and it is used for emergency exits through which fire-fighting activity or evacuation should preferentially be made rather than safety for crime prevention. The keeping type performs two operations, locking and unlocking by applying a positive or negative pulse voltage to the solenoid, and keeps the no-power state in each position. This type features energy saving because it is unnecessary to always power the solenoid on. For the continuous rating and the intermittent rating, the continuous rating is designed to be able to feed a rated voltage power continuously for hours without exceeding a specified temperature rise limit, and the intermittent rating is designed to be able to feed a specified voltage only for a specified time duration without exceeding a specified temperature rise limit.
