Alternative Solutions
If you cannot use the
typical
installation, perhaps due to vertical rods or the customer does not like the look of the Surface Mount Adapter, there
are several alternatives. All you simply need is to connect a DRY contact switch that is
closed when the door is closed
.
For example you could use a magnetic bullet switch in the nose of the door with the magnet in the jamb or the other door. Here you could drill a
hole through the extrusion and frame and route the wires into the extrusion, then into the EDPS.
Another example would be to use the mechanical limit switch(es) on an equipped operator. You could install separate wires and route them
through the door to the EDPS or you could simply splice into the 8-pin connector on one of the EDPS harnesses at the DP-Hub at the
orange (pin 3) and orange/black (pin 4) wires. Note that if using the limit switches on a pair of doors, the switches would need
to be wired in series.
Those are only a
few
examples as the possibilities are endless.
NOTE: You only need to connect the alternative solution into
one
EDPS or
one
EDPS harness.
