How Interlocking Relays WorkWhen one of the user interfaces requests the Curtains (or other devices controlled by interlocking relays) to open, the "Relay for opening" will close for 0.5 seconds and then open. Similarly, when one of the user interfaces requests the Curtains to close, the "Relay for closing" will close for 0.5 seconds and then open. Note that if the curtains are opening when a close is requested, for many motors that use interlocking relays, this will often cause the curtains to stop closing.
