#11864, "RE: power lock motor placement" In response to In response to 6
do you have the install manual from your alarm? it all depends on the output on those two leads. some alarms can control motors directly, others need relays. if relays are used you also need to know what kind of output your alarm uses. it's most likely either a postive signal or a ground signal. this affects how your relays are wired.
because you are not doing progressive locks you will essentially be wiring your two actuators in parallel and thus treating them as one actuator. then you will use each relay to ground an actuator lead. (i.e. when when neither relay is energized the actuator leads should both be connected to ground). when the "lock" relay is energized you want it to supply power to actuator lead which will cause the actuator to perform the "lock" movement. the same is done with the "unlock" relay and the other actuator lead.
