•câbler le contact cabine sup de porte fermée « entrée contrôle shunt »
•remplacer le **thermique** moteur porte operateur par un shunt
It doesn't make sense to me without a noun. Could it be short for "capteur thermique"?

thermal cut-out
An informed guess!
Often stands for 'protection thermique' = thermal protective device, more usually known as a 'thermal cut-out'
This would make technical sense in the context as given: you have to bypass (i.e. overide) the safety thermal cutout by a wire ('shunt'); there could be many reasons for this, including testing, or possible reliability issues (assuming alternative protection has been put in place!)

--------------------------------------------------
The fact they also mention another 'shunt' does rather tend to confirm this might be part of some kind of test or maintenance procedure.

To answer your question, 'capteur thermique' is unlikely, since most normal temperature sensors would be analogue devices with (e.g.) a varying resistance that reflects the temperature; hence shorting out such a device would almost certainly produce a serious error; A cut-out, on the other hand, is just a switch that opens, and hence bypassing it in this way would simply defeat its safety function.

thermal device
Often device is a "safe" solution :-)

Tony M
: Not really specific enough here: there are many different types of 'thermal device', it would really need to be 'safety device' (as I have already said) — but in this instance, 'cut-out' is IMHO a more technically appropriate term.
