REPULSION FUNCTION

The lock and release motor control relays are located on the body computer printed circuit (NBC); Action time is 700 ms ± 10%. At the end of this period, the body checks switch position: if they do not tally it emits a repulsion command. The

repulsion function takes place following a lock manoeuvre or after a release manoeuvre.

In practice, when the motors are controlled to lock and the operation is not carried out correctly (i.e. the controls do not tally), the body orders an opposite manoeuvre in an attempt to realign the catch microswitch contacts.
