Abstract
A locking assembly including first and second hubs rotatably mounted in a case, a latch assembly which retracts in response to rotation of either of the hubs, and a locking member which selectively prevents rotation of at least one of the hubs. A sensor assembly is associated with at least one of the hubs, and is configured to transmit a signal in response to rotation of the at least one hub.
Claims21
A locking assembly, comprising:
- a case;
- a first hub rotatably mounted in the case and having a first home position and a first rotated position;
- a second hub rotatably mounted in the case and having a second home position and a second rotated position;
- a locking member aligned with the first hub and having a locking position wherein rotation of the first hub is prevented, and having an unlocking position wherein rotation of the first hub is enabled;
- and
- a sensor assembly including:
- a first sensor associated with the first hub and operable to transmit a first signal in response to one of the first home position and the first rotated position;
- a second sensor associated with the second hub and operable to transmit a second signal in response to one of the second home position and the second rotated position;
- a third sensor associated with the locking member and operable to transmit a third signal in response to one of the locking position and the unlocking position;
- and
- a printed circuit board on which each of the first, second, and third sensors is mounted.
