The LiftMaster OES-RD16 16 Ft Rolling Door Optical Edge Kit is an OEM monitored sensing edge designed for commercial rolling steel and sheet doors up to 16 feet wide. This optical edge provides leading-edge entrapment protection: when the bottom bar encounters an obstruction during closing, compression interrupts the internal light path and signals the operator to stop and reverse, enhancing safety and helping meet UL 325 requirements. It’s a direct replacement or upgrade for facilities needing a monitored edge solution on dock doors, warehouse bays, loading areas, and other industrial or commercial rolling door applications.
This wired, low-voltage optical edge is intended for use with LiftMaster commercial door operators that accept a monitored edge input, including models with Logic 5.0 control systems. The kit supplies the components needed to equip a rolling door with a monitored optical sensing edge and interfaces with the operator via a dedicated monitored edge connection. After installation on the bottom bar, wire to the operator and configure the control board per the operator manual so it recognizes the monitored edge; perform required safety tests to verify proper stop/reverse operation. For best results and compliance with local codes and UL 325, installation and setup should be performed by a qualified technician.
