WEL-200
Wireless Edge Link
Instruction Manual
The WEL-200 is a complete wireless solution for interfacing sensing edges to gate and door operators, while
ensuring compliance with UL325 monitoring standards. Each receiver can connect with up to
four transmitters with separate relay and pulse outputs for open and close edge functionality.
Each transmitter can run for up to two years on two AA lithium batteries. With enhanced diagnostic
features, installation and maintenance for the WEL-200 is easy and reliable. Feedback is provided for all
fault modes, including edge open, short conditions, low battery and failed transmitters.

Installation
1. Mount the receiver to the exterior of the operator using four #8 machine screws,
washers, lock washers and nuts. Open the cover to expose the mounting holes.
Place the receiver in direct line of sight with all edge transmitters. Mount the
receiver with the sealing nut facing down to prevent water from entering the
housing.
Extend the top of the receiver approximately 1” above the top edge of the
operator housing, or on the side that is in line of sight of all transmitters.
2. Pass the operator wires through the sealing nut, cable grip, and
body into the receiver housing.
•Cables for the original cable grip insert must be 0.181-
0.321” (4.6-7.9 mm) in diameter to maintain a proper
watertight seal.
•For smaller cables, replace the original cable grip insert
with a white insert by removing it from inside the body.
•To maintain a watertight seal, 1.) only use round cables
2.) mount the receiver with the sealing nut facing down
3. Connect the operator wires to the
terminal block, per one of the
monitoring methods below and
according to the instructions
provided by the operator
manufacturer. Connect power
wires last.
Pulse Monitoring
•For channels assigned to
OPEN, connect the operator
common to terminal 1 and
operator output to terminal 2.
•For channels assigned to
CLOSE, connect the operator
common to terminal 3 and
operator output to terminal 4.
10K or NC Relay Monitoring
•For channels assigned to OPEN, connect
the operator normally closed to terminal
5, common to terminal 6 and normally
open to terminal 7.
•For channels assigned CLOSE, connect
the operator normally closed to terminal 8,
common to terminal 9 and normally open
to terminal 10.
•For 10K resistive monitoring, place the
jumper on the receiver in the 10K
position (bottom two pins) as shown. This
places a 10K resistance across the NO
relay contacts.
•For NC, move the jumper on the receiver
to the top two pins.
4. On the DIP switch indicate which channels will output through OPEN or CLOSE
terminals. The DIP switch in the image shows all four channels outputting through
CLOSE terminals.

Connecting the Transmitter
5. Mount the transmitter near the edge sensor, using two #8 machine screws,
washers, lock washer and nuts. Pass the edge sensor wires through the sealing
nut as in step 2. Mount the transmitter with the sealing nut facing down to
prevent water from entering the housing.
6. Connect the edge sensor wires to the transmitter terminal block (#3 on image).
Insert batteries. The LED (#2 on image) will quickly flash 2x every two seconds.
•The transmitter’s LED flashing three times per second indicates that the
batteries are low (less than 2.7V) and need to be replaced.
•Never connect more than one edge sensor to a single transmitter.
7. On the receiver, the system status LED will flash rapidly while it is finding a clean
operating frequency (this can last a few seconds). Once completed, the system
status LED will flash on/off every 2 seconds. Initialization is now complete.
To perform a factory reset of the receiver, press 1 and 4 channel
assignment buttons simultaneously while disconnecting and
reconnecting power. This will clear all programmed channels.
8. To enter channel assignment mode, on the receiver, hold down the desired channel assignment button
until the systems status LED begins flashing rapidly, then release the button.
To exit channel assignment mode, press channel 1 and 4 assignment buttons simultaneously for more
than 2 seconds or wait 60 seconds.
9. On the transmitter, hold down the connection button for ~4 seconds (#4 on image) until its LED begins
flashing rapidly and upon successful connection, the LED flashes once every two seconds. If the transmitter
fails to connect, it will return to its initial state, with the LED flashing 2x every 2 seconds. If this occurs,
repeat this step. If the transmitter continues to fail to connect, proceed to the troubleshooting section.
To remove a connection from the transmitter, hold down the connection button. The LED will turn
on solid for several seconds, and then flash twice every 2 seconds when disconnected.
10. Test the connection. Without activating the edge sensor, observe the channel status LEDs on the receiver.
They should be off for any channel connected to a transmitter. Activate the edge sensor being tested. On
the receiver, the channel status LED for the tested edge’s channel should turn on. On the transmitter, the
LED should flash once every second while the edge sensor is activated. If the channel does not exhibit
this behavior, double check the edge sensor wiring, termination and transmitter batteries.
11. Repeat steps 5 through 10 for each additional transmitter. Never connect more than one edge sensor to
a single transmitter.

Troubleshooting
Symptom
Possible cause
Solution
Receiver channel
status LED is on,
regardless of edge
sensor state
Edge sensor’s resistance
is too low
Edge wires are shorted
1. Disconnect edge sensor from transmitter.
2. Connect a digital multimeter, set to read
ohms and connect to edge leads. The meter
should read between 4K and 12K.
3. If the meter reads outside of this range
the edge sensor is defective. Replace the
edge sensor.

1. Disconnect edge sensor from transmitter.
2. Connect a digital multimeter, set to read

meter reads outside this range the edge
sensor is defective. Replace edge sensor.
3. Press on the edge sensor and confirm
resistance drops to zero.
