ENTRAPMENT PROTECTION, NEMA 7/9 Operators
The installation of a fail safe external reversing device (such as a monitored reversing edge.) is required on all
momentary contact electronically operated commercial doors. If such a reversing device is not installed, the
operator will revert to a constant contact control switch for operation (Closing only).
The Reversing Devices currently UL Approved are:
1). MillerEdge® ME T2 and MT T2 Series monitored edge sensors.
2). ASO® Sentir GT Series T2 monitored edge sensors.
These Monitored Sensing Edges are available in any door width.
NOTE: DO NOT use take up reels in conjunction with the Monitored Sensing Edge system. Use Coil Cords Only.
Job Site Issues to Consider/Concerns
The following list of items should be considered prior to selecting an operator for a given job site.
1. Available power supply.
