PSE Purpose/Design/Function



To unlock the pneumatic system equipment (PSE) is actuated by means of a ground signal from the radio frequency/infrared DAS control module.

The pump motor starts running and supplies pressure. The central locking elements are pressurized. After reaching a pressure of 450 mbar in the system the pressure switch switches off the pump. The pressure in the system is then released via the PSE and the unlocking operation is completed.

The locking operation is accomplished analog to the unlocking procedure. However, the "lock" button is pressed actuating the PSE with ground via the second control line for the radio frequency/infrared DAS control module. The direction of rotation of the pump motor is reversed providing the vacuum required for locking.
