Figure 12 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) If connection is to be made through a take up reel cord:
• 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 (Step 1)
to the operator
electrical box.
• Secure using cable clamp on each end.
5) Join wires in cord from operator to wires in cord from switch using wire nuts or
other suitable wire connectors.

using the optional OPAKMEIGX.S as shown in Fig. 13B.
6A) Monitored sensing or reversing edge connects to optional Timer-Close Module
terminals shown in Fig. 13A.
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.
Sensing Edge Switch Installation
WARNING: Actuating the operator using constant contact on the CLOSE
button will override external reversing devices, including sensing edges or
reversing edges.

NOTE: Do not use a take-up-reel on a monitored edge. They have slip connections in them
that momentarily break contact which causes false reversals.
