are required with some Sectional or
Rolling Steel Doors to prevent the
door from operating under certain
conditions including the following:
•If the door is equipped with a
functioning door lock, an
interlock switch (A) must be
installed to prevent electric
operation when the lock
is engaged.
•If the door is equipped with a
pedestrian pass-through door,
an interlock switch (B) must be
installed at the pass-through
door in order to prevent
electrical operation when the
pass-through door is open.
2) The Switches must be set in the field.

Photocell Wiring
NOTE: Installer must enable ODC STB in calibration mode. See page 6.9.
NOTE: A monitored sensing device must be installed or the unit will be Constant Contact Close.
2) To Mount Photocells: (Kit includes detailed Instructions).
Determine location for mounting. They do not need to be directly adjacent to
the door but must be somewhere along the wall where there will be an
unobstructed line between them. Fig 9.
They must extend out away from the wall sufficiently that no door hardware
breaks the plane of the photo-beam.
1) Nominal 24 Volt DC Commercial photocells with normally open contacts can be
connected as shown in Fig. 8.
NOTE: Blue wire supplies 20 – 40VDC. Photocells used must be compatible with this
voltage range.
NOTE: If no voltage is present at Blue wire, check fuse F-1 on Control board.
Series II Safe-T-Beam® Monitored Photocells
Commercial Non-Monitored Photocells
WARNING: Photocell systems provide entrapment protection when
mounted near the doorway in such a way that the lower portion of an individual’s
leg will break the photocell beam during normal walking conditions.
WARNING: Actuating operator using constant contact on the CLOSE button will
override external reversing devices, including photocells.

Figure 11 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.
6B) Monitored sensing edge connects to main cirsuit board ODC STB terminals
using the optional OPAKMEIGX.S as shown in Fig. 10B.
6A) Monitored sensing or reversing edge connects to optional Timer-Close Module
terminals shown in Fig. 10A.
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.
