Miller Edge MBSAW‑500 Sensing Edge

The Miller Edge MBSAW‑500 is an introductory non‑monitored Air‑Wave sensing edge designed to safeguard rolling steel and sectional doors. When its flexible sensing surface encounters an obstruction, a small air‑pressure wave travels through the internal hose to an external Air‑Wave switch (sold separately); the switch’s diaphragm then closes an electrical contact and signals the door operator to stop or reverse. This touch‑sensitive signaling mechanism helps prevent property damage and injuries by reacting quickly to the slightest contact. The profile’s top tab inserts neatly between the double‑L angle bottom bars on a rolling door, making installation straightforward, while its non‑monitored design provides a cost‑effective alternative to electric edges for residential or commercial applications.

Constructed from flexible PVC with a gum‑rubber bladder, the MBSAW‑500 offers durability and weather resistance. Miller Edge supplies the edge in ¼‑in. increments up to 60 ft., and it can be trimmed in the field for a custom fit. The 3/32‑in. silicone lead hose and universal outlet location make it easy to route the hose to the Air‑Wave switch. A wide operating temperature range (‑40 to +130 °F) ensures reliable performance in harsh climates. Pre‑manufactured edges include an extrusion that extends six inches beyond the hose on each end for added weather protection. Whether you need to retrofit an existing rolling door or outfit a new installation, the MBSAW‑500 delivers dependable sensing performance and peace of mind at an economical price.

Key features

• Non‑monitored Air‑Wave technology – detects contact by transmitting air pressure through an internal hose to an external switch, which then signals the operator to stop or reverse.
• Cost‑effective safeguarding solution – provides touch‑sensitive signaling without the cost of a fully monitored electric edge.
• Customizable length – ordered in ¼‑inch increments up to 60 ft and can be trimmed on site for a precise fit.
• Easy installation – top tab inserts between the double‑L angle bottom bars on rolling doors; universal outlet location simplifies hose routing.
• Durable construction – flexible PVC exterior and gum‑rubber bladder withstand repeated operation and exposure.
• 1‑year warranty and Made‑in‑USA quality.
• Pre‑manufactured version includes extra weather protection – extrusion extends 6 inches beyond the hose on each end.
