1. INSTALLATION SETUP
1. All Miller Edge sensing edges are inspected and tested prior to shipment to ensure quality. Upon opening the shipping box, inspect your sensing
edge and wiring for shipping damage. If the shipping container appears to be damaged, please notify carrier immediately.
2. Un-box and lay the sensing edge out straight. This will allow the edge to relax and return to its original shape.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
SENSING EDGE
ME123
IMPORTANT
Read and understand all instructions before beginning installation. All Miller Sensing Edges are inspected and tested before being
shipped to ensure against damage. If the shipping container appears to be damaged, please notify the carrier immediately.
2A.MOUNTING CHANNEL INSTALLATION (DOORS)
1. Slide the edge into the mounting channel.
2. Align the edge and mounting channel to the leading edge of the door.
3. Adjust the close limits on the motor for a maximum compression of
.25” (6 mm).
4. Attach the channel to the by drilling self-tapping screws into the
mounting channel, starting 3” (7 cm) from the ends and spaced
approximately every 24”.
TECH TIP
To compensate for floor irregularities, gently curve the mounting channel
up or down to close any gaps between the edge and the floor, wall, or
other permanent fixture.
2B.MOUNTING CHANNEL INSTALLATION (OTHER)
1. Attach the channel to the by drilling self-tapping screws into the
mounting channel, starting 3” (7 cm) from the ends and spaced
approximately every 24”.
2. Slide the edge into the mounting channel.
3. Adjust the close limits on the motor for a maximum compression
of .25” (6 mm).

ME123 SENSING EDGE
WIRELESS METHOD REQUIRED
Miller Edge wireless edge transmitter/receiver system
INSTALLATION
1. Consult the Miller Edge transmitter/receiver installation
instructions for wiring of the sensing edge.
2. For proper connection to operator inputs, please consult
the operator manual.
COIL CORD METHOD
Note: For specific operator input connection diagrams
and instructions, please consult your operator manual.
REQUIRED
Junction boxes (2) Mounting screws
Wire end caps 18-22 gauge wire
INSTALLATION
1. Mount the first junction box on the end stile or bottom bar
of the door.
2. Run the sensing edge lead wire into the junction box.
3. Mount the second junction box on an adjoining wall,
midway between the floor and the operator.
4. With the door in the closed position, secure the coil cord
to the first junction box.
5. Then run it, fully stretched, to the second wall mounted
junction box so the stretched length is equal to one-half of
the door opening.
6. Secure the coil cord into the wall junction box and trim the
coil cord. This assures the excess coil cord will not get
caught or hang in the opening of the door.
7. Secure 18-22 gauge wire into the second wall-mounted
junction box and hard wire to the operator sensing edge
terminals.
RETRACTING REEL METHOD
Note: For specific operator input connection diagrams
and instructions, please consult your operator manual.
REQUIRED
Junction box (1) Mounting screws
Wire end caps 18-22 gauge wire
INSTALLATION
NOT SUITABLE FOR MONITORED SENSING EDGES
1. Mount the junction box on the end stile or bottom bar of
the door.
2. Run the sensing edge lead wire into the junction box.
3. Mount the retracting reel on an adjoining wall, near the
operator.
4. With the door in the closed position, secure the retracting
reel cable to the junction box. The cable should freely
extend, without rubbing, in and out of the retracting reel for
the duration of the open/close cycle.
5. Using the 18-22 gauge wire, hardwire the retracting reel to
the sensing edge terminals of the operator.

4. TROUBLESHOOTING
SENSING EDGE SHIFTING
REQUIRED
• (2) #6 x 1/2” self-drilling hex head screws
• 1/4” standard socket
INSTALLATION
To prevent the Sensing Edge from shifting within
the mounting channel:
1. Mount the Miller Edge mounting channel and
Sensing Edge in accordance with Step 3:
Sensing Edge Installation.
2. Insert self-drilling screws horizontally
into the face of the mounting channel T-Slot
2”-6” from the end of the interior side of the
door.
3. Repeat step 2 on the opposite end of the
inside of the door.
Caution: Keep all tools away from the body of
the Sensing Edge.

SENSING EDGE CHECK
SUGGESTED
• Edge Tester (MET-101)
• Ohm meter (capable of measuring 10K)
TEST
Test the sensing edge for function:
1. To verify the termination of a 10K ohm (T2) sensing edge, use a Edge Tester (MET-101) or an ohm meter; the edge resistance should
be ~10K ohms (9.5-10.5K).
2. To verify the termination of a diode capacitor (T3) sensing edge, use a Edge Tester (MET-101); this is the only method to test a T3
sensing edge.
3. Press the Sensing Edge to confirm the resistance is less than 5 ohms.

MAINTENANCE
It is strongly recommended that end users test the Sensing Edge at least once per month. Check the Sensing Edge for cuts, loss of sensitivity, or water
damage. Also check for signs of damage to cables or connection points. Starting 2” from the ends, compress the Sensing Edge 1/2” throughout the
length of the edge and observe that it sends an electric signal to the controls.
