Z Axis Brake? Huh?

[firstyear]

Hi everyone,
I'm a electrical noob so any help (or paper napkin sketches) in the right direction would be greatly appreciated!

I've got a Linear actuator for my Z-axis which includes a 24v electromechanical brake on one end which I have no idea how to operate?...

I understand that it opens (unlocks) when powered and closes (locks) when unpowered - stopping the z-axis from dropping due to weight when powered off.

I have a DMM-Tech setup which is 48v from bob/driver/servo and Im a week away from getting my first machine running...or not if the Z wont move

sorry that I've double posted Mr mods, just wasnt sure which was the best section to post in...
