ASO KS8/KS4 WIRE POSITIONING NOTICE

Dear ASO Installer

In relation to your enquiry, it can be normal for the core wires to be extruded off centre as ASO made a
change in the design of the safety edges around 6 years ago. With the introduction of the KS8-assembly-
system the conductive material blocks changed which meant it was no longer required to hit the pins of
the KS8 plug directly with the wire during assembly. This operating principle was also retained when
switching to the current KS4-assembly-system.

When assembling the only thing to watch is to ensure that both the upper and lower conductive blocks
are penetrated properly by the KS8/KS4 pins (illustrated below). The reading resistance value should be

8.2kOhm (+ or – 500 Ohms) so we are looking for a value of between 7.7 - 8.7kOhm.

KS 4 EDGE SERIES KS 8 EDGE SERIES

We have aached assembly instructions for your installers to help refresh on this, but we would be happy
to provide some more training at your convenience. If your installers or customers have any concerns
please do ask them to call us to discuss. If there have been any specific issues where the resistance values
are radically higher or lower than 8.2kohm this could be an issue with materials or assembly process, so
in these cases please do always contact technical support so we can resolve for you.

Just to add to this, the maximum number of edges joined in series that ASO recommend is 5 edges and no
more than 25 Meters of cabling in total from controller to end of line resistor in any one channel or series
of edges. For example the INDUS kit controller ISK 71‐242 has 4 channels, so you could run up to 5 edges
for 25 Meters in to each stationary edge input if required. I hope this information helps, if there are any
questions please do contact us directly so we can assist you.

KS4 ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

KS4 ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS (SENTIR EDGE GF & F SERIES

(

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS SAFETY CONTACT EDGES MAY ONLY BE MANUFACTURED AND INSTALLED BY AUTHORISED PERSONS)

1. Cuing the safety contact edge

Cut the safety edge material 24mm shorter
than the required finished length of the

contact edge.

!WARNING! USE ONLY THE APPROVED

LOWE 3306/3316 CUTTING TOOLS.

2a. Preparing end caps (drainage holes)

If the edge is to be mounted horizontally,
remove the drain plugs from both ends. If the
edge is mounted vertically, just remove the

plugs from the end closest to the ground.

For the TTLL & TTLa profiles, remove a notch
from the end cap to allow the sealing flaps to

protrude through the end cap.

Choose the desired cable exit of the endcap,

2c. Connection cable

then cut out the appropriate mark using a

small cuing tool.

5. Place end caps

Push the endcaps neatly over each end of the

safety contact edge to secure the build.

Push in the lock cap including the aached

3. Insert the lock cap

plug into the hollow spaces surrounding the
switching chamber and push it tight to the cut

surface of the safety contact edge.

6. Insert fixation clips

Fasten the endcaps, by pushing the fixation
clip into the given space until it clicks into
place. For bigger contact edges an additional

fixation clip is used to fasten the caps.

Insert the aatched plug into the electrical

4. Insert the contact plug

switching chamber of the safety contact edge,
be sure that the plug is pressed in tightly until the

upper notch of the plug fits closely to the lock cap.

7. Electrical testing of contact-safety-edge

Measure the contact edge with a multimeter. In
rest position, the resistance value has to be 8.2
kΩ ± 500 Ω (7.7 - 8.7 kΩ). When edge is activated,

the resistance should not exceed 500 tΩ.

1. Cuing the safety-contact-edge

The safety-contact-edge is cut 20 mm shorter than the final length
dimension to allow for the length of the end caps on each end.
Make sure that the safety-contact-edge is cut clean and straight,
using the approved LOWE cuing tool ONLY.

2. Preparing end caps

a) Notch for the weather-sealing lip

When assembling safety-contact-edges with
weather-sealing lips, the end caps have to
be notched where indicated to allow for the
weather-sealing lip(s).

b) Connection cable

The connection cable exits the boom of
the end cap.

c) Water drain plugs

For installations in contact with water, it
is necessary to remove water drain plugs.
If the edge is to be mounted horizontally,
remove drain plugs from both ends. If the
edge is mounted vertically, just remove
the lower drain plug.

KS8 ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

Valid: 01/11/2018

! NOTE: ! The ambient temperature during assembly should be between 10° and 30°C and the relative humidity between 40% and 70%. It is
not recommended to aempt assembly in atmospheric conditions outside of these values, any aempt to do so may invalidate the product
warranty. The profile should be stored in dry conditions and checked thoroughly before the cuing & assembly process for the presence of
any moisture or damage.

3. Insert the contact plug

- Insert the plug, which is fixed to the end
cap, into the electrical switching chamber
of the safety-contact-edge.

- Please ensure that the plug is inserted
parallel to the chamber so that both pins
penetrate the conductive material blocks.

- The elastic butyl seal has to be pressed on
tight to the edge (Max. 6,5 mm from plug
base to profile)

chamber

4) Put on end caps

Release the contact plug from end cap and then snap in the contact
lock cap on the contact plug until it clicks into place. Apply pressure to
ensure the end cap plug is fully inserted into the contact edge.

5) Electrical testing of the contact edge

Measure the contact edge with a multi meter. In rest position, the
resistance value has to be 8,2 kΩ ± 500 Ω (7,7 - 8,7 kΩ).
When edge is activated, the resistance should not exceed 500 Ω.

6) Cuing mounting rail

The mounting rail has to be 20 mm shorter than the final dimension of
the contact edge.

10 mm

ASO GmbH & EasyGates exclude all liability for damage caused by incorrect installation of contact edges!
