INSTALLATION INSTR CTIONS
IMPORTANT:
READ AND NDERSTAND ALL INSTR CTIONS BEFORE BEGINNING INSTALLATION
The Monitored Edge Link II (MEL-II) transmitter/receiver system is intended to provide a wireless connection
between a monitored safety edge and a motorized operator that controls the associated door. MEL-II meets
the UL 325 requirements for monitored devices and has been certified as a UL 325 Recognized Component. It is
designed for use on operators that comply with UL 325 using a 10K (T2) terminated sensing edge.
Please note: It may be easier to pre-learn the Transmitter to the Receiver prior to physically mounting the devices.
A Miller Edge 10K Sensing Edge is not needed for the learn process.
1. Apply power to the receiver using a plug-in 12-24V wall transformer.
2. Insert the two AA batteries into the Transmitter battery holder.
3. Press CH1 learn button until the yellow status LED starts to blink rapidly (this is now learn mode).
4. Within 60 seconds, press the test button on the Transmitter and observe on the Receiver that the CH1 and
status LEDs are blinking rapidly and alternately. Release Transmitter test button.
5. The CH1 red LED will continue to blink rapidly until the 10K sensing edge is connected to the Transmitter.

3-Learn Mode
3-1. Prior to mounting the Transmitter, remove the lid and insert the batteries, noting their polarity. The
green power LED should blink once every second. Press the test button, next to the green power
LED, and note that the green power LED flashes rapidly 3 times.
3-2. To enter learn mode for channel 1, press and hold the learn button on the Receiver for ~2 seconds
until the yellow status LED blinks rapidly and both red CH 1 and CH 2 LEDs turn on.
3-3. Press the Transmitter test button for ~2 seconds. Note that the yellow status LED and the red CH 1
LED on the Receiver blink rapidly. Immediately release the Transmitter test button. Channel 1 is now
programmed. CH 1 LED will be blinking rapidly (indicating no edge has been connected) until your
10K sensing edge is connected to the Transmitter. Press the Transmitter test button again and note
that the red CH 1 LED on the Receiver turns on solid.
3-4. To start over or erase programming, press and hold both test buttons for ~3 seconds until the yellow
status LED stays on steady. CH 1 LED will be blinking and CH 2 will go out after ~15 seconds and
release. Both red CH 1 and CH 2 LEDs will blink slowly. Restart the learn procedure.

2-1. Turn the power off to the commercial door operator.
Mount the Receiver on or near the operator.
2-2. Attach the antenna to the Receiver. The antenna
should be in line-of-sight of the Transmitter.
2-3. On the 8-pin connector, connect the power source
(12-24 VAC/DC) to the terminals marked power (not
polarity sensitive). Next, connect the channel 1 COM
and the pulsed terminals to the operator photo eye
inputs (not polarity sensitive). The output select dip
switch 1 must be set to P. Switch 2 has no function.
2-4. Apply power to the Receiver. Observe that the green
power and yellow status LEDs are on. The red CH 1
LED will blink, and the CH 2 LED will be on solid. After
15 seconds, the CH 2 LED will go out. If the yellow
status LED is blinking randomly, the Transmitter has
been learned and is working.
2-5. In limited instances, if you need to utilize the relay
output of Ch 1, instead of the pulsed output, simply
utilize the 10K/N.O. and COM terminals (instead of the
pulsed and COM) and set the output select to “R”.
FOR NORMALLY OPEN O TP T
The P18 jumper on the Receiver circuit board will need to be
cut. Simply remove the 4 screws on the rear of receiver and
then remove 4 standoffs to access P18, which is located
near the 8-pin connector.
