Push button operation and in-use indicator light. Only one door can be opened at a time. This reduces clogging and enhances safety during peak usage. User must unlock the door by pressing the button then operating the latch or handle separately. Interlocks are normally locked, so during a power failure, the doors cannot be opened. All doors can be locked by turning off the power switch when working beneath the chute, reducing liability and injuries. Engineered for use on a Class 2 circuit, therefore, the intake door electrical panels and components are UL listed. Wiring is with exposed (no conduit required) cable inside the shaft in most applications. Check with your local building authority regarding installation requirements.
