THEORY OF OPERATION
GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
The Phantom Edge is a self monitoring wireless (RF) sensing edge system. A special
communication protocol between the transmitter and receiver allow for additional signals
3
(other than edge activation) to be sent, such as battery condition and periodic communication
checks. If the unit detects a fault it will convert the operator to supervised mode
(i.e. constant pressure contact on operator close control) indicating that maintenance
is required.
WIRING COULD CAUSE ELECTROCUTION OR DAMAGE TO CIRCUITRY

3) Attach Coax Rigid Wire antenna. (The unit will not work unless the rigid antenna is properly attached)
(Units with Motor Covers will require a remote antenna kit to mount the antenna outside the motor cover)
4) Verify that the dip switches in the Receiver and Transmitter are set properly.
5) Verify correct wiring. Restore power to Operator.

3) Make sure the antenna is attached to the receiver, and that the "tip" of the antenna is NOT aimed

at the transmitter (the side of the whip antenna is what picks up the signals, not the tip).
4) Do NOT mount the antenna inside a closed metal box; the box will shield the antenna from all
signals, and the receiver will not work as a result. If the receiver must be mounted inside a metal
box, use an antenna extension kit to mount the antenna on the outside of the metal box.
5) Make sure the transmitter is mounted so that when the door is partly open, you are looking
directly at the label on the lid and not looking at the side of the case.

1) Receiver has no power and the Safety Edge relay output is "closed" as a result.
- Ensure that a STEADY 24 VOLTS are present; if DC is used, the red lead must be "positive"
2) Make sure the receiver switch #5 in "ON" for 2-wire w/termination; "OFF" for 4-wire Phantom Edge.
1) Receiver has had a Power-On-Reset and has not heard from the sensing edge transmitter since

"ON" solid).
* Check that the power to the receiver STAYS on when the limit switches are reached, and when
any of the Operator push buttons are pressed.
2) Receiver has a slowly blinking red LED; this means that the transmitter has a low battery.
* Use a lithium 9-volt battery for cold weather operation; an alkaline battery will work in mild
weather, but has about half the capacity of the lithium types.
3) Receiver has a fast blinking red LED; this means that the transmitter sees a sensing edge
termination fault. If the edge is a 4-wire type, one of the safety edge wires may not be making
contact in the connector in the transmitter, or the sensing edge is faulty. If the edge is of the
terminated 2-wire type, the transmitter is not seeing the terminator resistor.
* Make sure that switch #5 on the transmitter is OFF for 4-wire, and ON for terminated 2-wire.
This unit will not function correctly with a non-terminated 2-wire edge. The terminated edges
can be identified two ways; 1) There will be a blue band around the pigtail as it exits the edge;
2) The edge will measure 10K ohms between the two leads if checked with a multimeter.
1) Check that the Door Operator "sensing edge cut-out" switch is correctly adjusted to within 6"
of the floor.
DOOR FAILS TO REVERSE WHEN IT CONTACTS AN OBSTACLE:
2) Check that the receiver's sensing edge relay output wires are intact and still connected to the
Door Operator's sensing edge input terminals.
3) Check the receiver sensing edge relay output jumper; the jumper should be placed on the N/O
pins for the channel one (green and orange wires) normally-open relay contacts.

For a BRIEF TEST, turn on the transmitter's test mode switch, #8, and activate the safety edge to
TO TEST FOR A RF SHORT-RANGE PROBLEM BETWEEN THE TRANSMITTER AND THE RECEIVER:
initiate a transmission. The transmitter will come on and stay on until the switch #8 is turned back
off for normal operation. The receiver Signal Acquired green LED (next to the red Maintenance
Required LED) should come on and stay on while the door is run through its range of motion. The
safety edge should work as usual while in test mode. TURN OFF "TEST MODE" AS SOON AS
POSSIBLE, to avoid undue RF interference and also quickly exhausting the transmitter battery.
An ACTIVE SENSING EDGE to the transmitter will cause the receiver sensing edge output relay
REMEMBER:
to stay ACTIVE.
ALL FAULT CONDITIONS (low battery, edge termination not sensed, communications time-out)
cause the receiver to put the door-operator into Constant Pressure mode.
Check the condition of the receiver's indicator lights at the time of the problem, to quickly
find the cause.
Some locations are much more electrically noisy than others. If the receiver shows signs of
performing a "power-on" light test when the operator's motor starts or stops, or other heavy
equipment in the vicinity seems to be affecting the wireless link, please contact Miller Edge
with the necessary information (mounting location, plus the make and model of the door
operator or other related equipment) to resolve the problem.

accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
"Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply wit the limits for a Class B digital device,

- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV techician for help."
2) Information to User
