SIGNAL Optical Safety Edge
Application
The SIGNAL12 is a photoelectric thru-beam sensor for pressure-sensitive safety edges (PSSE) for industrial doors. The emitter and receiver must be plugged into the circular hollow chamber of a rubber profile. If the rubber profile is compressed in the closing movement of the door leaf, the signal at the receiver is reduced and triggers a signal to the evaluation unit.
Self-Checking System
- After the operating voltage is applied, the components and the signal quality are always checked automatically.
- The signal quality is determined by various criteria: the quality of the rubber compound, the door width, the deflection, the contamination, etc.
- The measurement result is displayed with a flash code in the range of 1 to 3 pulses, with the operating limit being reached when the light flashes three times.
- In this case, the rubber profile should be checked for damage and the light channel for dirt. To repeat the diagnosis, briefly disconnect the operating voltage of the safeguard at the front edge.
1 LED-flash = ideal conditions
2 LED-flashes = good conditions
3 LED-flashes = operational limit reached
Innovative Optical System
The new optical system allows for particularly large door widths and improved switching behavior when the door is bent due to wind load.
Reliable Working Principle
Working principle in uncompressed condition. A photoelectrical signal is received.
Working principle in compressed condition. No photoelectrical signal is received.
Universally Applicable
The safety edge can be either connected via a junction box with the door control unit or via a remote wireless box to save the spiral cable. The low-power SIGNAL uses the "duo-switch" detection process to set itself to spiral cable or battery operation. This is done automatically by detecting the operating voltage applied. The result is optimum characteristics for the respective operating conditions.

Guides & videos
At a glance
Door widths up to 12 metres
The range covers wide sectional and high-speed doors without the need to monitor the closing edge in separate sections.
IP67 protection
Fully encapsulated design. Dust and temporary immersion do not affect the electronics — outdoors as well as during cleaning with water.
Radio module or spiral cable
Signal transmission runs either via radio module or spiral cable, so the connection method can be matched to the existing door system.
Diagnostics on the device
An integrated diagnostic system shows the status optically, and an LED indicates the switching state. Fault finding works without a measuring instrument.
Tolerant of door movement
Wind load and deflection of the door leaf have less influence on detection. Transmission power is regulated rather than fixed.
OSE signal, vendor-independent
The output is an OSE signal and works with all common door control systems — no change of system when retrofitting.
