Purpose
For coolers made by Due North (formerly known as MinusForty), the operator can decide if the cooler can be unlocked via the temperature controller, or if they would like to disable this setting to mitigate potential risk.
For coolers that have this setting enabled, you may unlock the cooler by pressing the P and U buttons simultaneously on the temperature controller. When enabled, this process is always able to unlock the cooler, even if it's experiencing a health and safety lock or other error that would otherwise prevent unlocking.
