OSSD Output Test Pulses
The Guardmaster 440G-LZ guard locking switch uses test pulses to check
for OSSD output faults. This process is illustrated graphically as follows:

The manual release is provided to allow you to
unlock the guard door in the event of
unforeseen and uncommon circumstances.
If power is supplied to the switch and the latter
is in its locked state, invoking the auxiliary
release will cause the switch to enter a fault
condition (blinking red LED).
To reset the switch, simply cycle the power.
