Wenn der autorisierte Schütze mit der Pistole schiessen will, schaltet er zunächst die Einrichtung 11 über eine der Tasten 21 ein und gibt anschliessend seinen Pincode über die Tasten 21 ein. Der eingegebene Code wird mit dem gespeicherten verglichen und bei Übereinstimmung wird mittels des Motors 27 der Schieber 31 aus der dargestellten Sperrstellung zurückgezogen, so dass die Abzugzunge 14 freigegeben wird.If the authorized shooter wants to fire the pistol, he first switches the device 11 via one of the keys 21 and then enters his pin code using keys 21 on. The entered code is compared with the saved one and if there is agreement, the slider is moved by means of the motor 27 31 withdrawn from the blocking position shown, so that the trigger tongue 14 is released.

Zusätzlich kann am vorderen Ende des Abzugbügels 13 ein Infrarot-Fühler 39 mit einem Infrarot-Strahler 40 und einem Empfänger 41 eingebaut sein. Der Fühler 39 ist mit der Einheit 24 verbunden und gibt sie erst zur Entsperrung frei, wenn vor der Eingabe des Codes auf den Tasten 21 ein Finger 42 des Schützen in den Abzugbügel 13 eingreift. Beim Ausfahren des Fingers 42 aus dem Abzugbügel bewirkt das Signal des Fühlers 39 über die Steuereinheit 24 die automatische Sperrung. Wenn also dem Schützen die Pistole aus der Hand fällt oder sie ihm entrissen wird, wird der Abzug automatisch gesperrt.In addition, an infrared sensor can be located at the front end of the trigger guard 13 39 with an infrared radiator 40 and a receiver 41 installed. The sensor 39 is connected to the unit 24 and only releases them for unlocking if before entering of the code on the keys 21 a finger 42 of the shooter in engages the trigger guard 13. When finger 42 extends the trigger bracket causes the signal from the sensor 39 via the control unit 24 automatic locking.

Anstelle der Tasten 21 oder zusätzlich zu ihnen kann die Identifikationseinheit 20 auch einen Fingerabdruck-Scanner 46 enthalten. In diesem Fall ist im Speicher 25 das Muster eines Fingers gespeichert, bei rechtshändigen Schützen z.B. der Kuppe des Zeigefingers der linken Hand. Der eingescannte Fingerabdruck wird in der Einheit 24 mit dem gespeicherten Muster verglichen und bei Übereinstimmung die Sperreinrichtung 11 freigegeben. Diese Variante hat den Vorteil der einfacheren und rascheren Bedienung. Die Identifikation ist auch sicher auf nur eine einzige Person bezogen.Instead of the buttons 21 or in addition to them, the identification unit 20 also include a fingerprint scanner 46. In this case there is a pattern of a finger in the memory 25 saved, for right-handed shooters e.g. the tip of the index finger the left hand. The scanned fingerprint will compared in unit 24 with the stored pattern and if there is a match, the locking device 11 is released. This Variant has the advantage of easier and faster operation. Identification is also safe on only one Person related.
