Abstract
A system for monitoring a pressure change within at least one compartment of an aircraft and operating a pyrotechnic device associated with a door latch, includes a securing mechanism arranged in an aircraft door that includes a pyrotechnic actuator and a latch bolt. The system includes the pyrotechnic actuator configured to move the latch bolt when the pyrotechnic actuator is actuated. The system also includes a pressure sensor configured to provide a pressure signal. The system also includes a controller configured to determine a pressure drop representing a decompression event. The system also includes an output driver configured to generate an output signal to actuate the pyrotechnic actuator when the controller determines the occurrence of a decompression event.
