The LiftMaster OES‑SD16 16 ft Sectional Door Optical Edge Kit is a monitored bottom-edge safety solution designed for commercial and industrial sectional overhead doors. This optical sensing edge detects contact with an obstruction along the bottom of the door and signals the operator to stop or reverse, helping reduce entrapment risks and damage to vehicles or equipment. Intended for doors up to 16 ft wide, the OES‑SD16 serves as a replacement kit or an upgrade to bring an existing sectional door in line with modern monitored-safety practices for high‑traffic facilities such as warehouses, loading docks, distribution centers, and municipal buildings.
The OES‑SD16 is designed to interface with LiftMaster commercial door operators that support monitored sensing edges via the OES input (including select Logic 5.0 models). The edge mounts to the bottom of the sectional door and connects back to the operator for continuous, self‑monitoring entrapment protection consistent with UL 325 requirements when installed on compatible systems. Professional installation is recommended: mount the edge squarely along the bottom bar, route the connection to the operator per LiftMaster instructions, complete operator setup, and perform functional testing to verify stop/reverse performance. Regular testing and maintenance per UL 325 and local codes are advised to ensure ongoing compliance and safe operation.
