Owner's Manual

If connection is to be made through a take up reel cord: NON-MONITORED EDGE ONLY.
WARNING: Actuating the operator using constant contact on the CLOSE
button will override external reversing devices, including sensing edges or
reversing edges.

Figure 10 shows an example of a typical sensing edge installation. Left hand side is shown but
right hand is a mirror image of this.
1A) If wiring from sensing edge switch to operator is coiled cord or 2 wire jacketed cord:
• Install junction box 12” above the center of the door opening on same side as
sensing switch.
• Secure one end of cord to junction box using a cable clamp.
1B)
• Install on same side as sensing edge switch and above door opening and
slightly to the side.
• Install junction box adjacent to take up reel and route the stationary cord from
the reel to the box and secure with a cable clamp.
2) Secure other end of cord (straight, coiled or reel) to sensing edge switch
enclosure using a cable clamp.
3) Connect wires of cord to sensing edge switch using wire nuts or other suitable
wire connectors.
4) Run a straight 2 wire cord from the junction box to the operator electrical box.
• Secure using cable clamp on each end.
5) Join wires in cord fro
m operator to wires in cord from switch using wire nuts or
other suitable wire connectors.

Non-Monitored sensing or reversing edge connects to terminal strip using N-O
Safety inputs. See Fig. 9A .
9C)
Monitored sensing or reversing edge connects to Timer-Close Module terminals as
shown in Fig. 9B .
Monitored sensing or reversing edge (no monitored Safety-T-Beam®) using the
Monitored Edge Interface Module (OPAKMEIGX.S) connects to ODC STB terminals as
shown in Fig. 9C .
7) Operate the door to make certain cord is free to travel and does not become
snared during door opening or closing.
• Check sensing edge switch for proper operation.
