Left hand side is shown butright 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 assensing 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 andslightly to the side.• Install junction box adjacent to take up reel and route the stationary cord fromthe reel to the box and secure with a cable clamp.2) Secure other end of cord (straight, coiled or reel) to sensing edge switchenclosure using a cable clamp.3) Connect wires of cord to sensing edge switch using wire nuts or other suitablewire connectors.4) Run a straight 2 wire cord from the junction box (Step 1) to the operatorelectrical box.• Secure using cable clamp on each end.5) Join wires in cord from operator to wires in cord from switch using wire nuts orother suitable wire connectors.6B) Monitored sensing edge connects to main cirsuit board ODC STB terminalsusing the optional OPAKMEIGX.S as shown in Fig. 10B.6A) Monitored sensing or reversing edge connects to optional Timer-Close Moduleterminals shown in Fig. 10A.7) Operate the door to make certain cord is free to travel and does not becomesnared during door opening or closing.• Check sensing edge switch for proper operation.Sensing Edge Switch InstallationWARNING: Actuating the operator using constant contact on the CLOSEbutton will override external reversing devices, including sensing edges orreversing edges.SENSING EDGE SWITCHSENSING EDGE SWITCHFigure 10BFigure 10ANOTE Monitored 2-wiresensing or reversingin combination with aTimer-Close Module.TIMER-CLOSE MODULE TERMINAL STRIPGNDMONEDGENTERFACE MODULEMAIN CIRCUIT BOARDODCSTBODCSTBNOTE: Do not use a take-up-reel on a monitored edge. They have slip connections in themthat momentarily break contact which causes false reversals.
