It is a spare for a self-assembly 45mm edge, or the extra part you need when several edges are looped together and traced back to the board. Each edge run needs correct termination, because the board reads the end of the line. The set is pictured as a domed black end piece with its connector and plug parts. Order the number of resistors you need for your edge layout. The price shown is for one resistor set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cfigure style=\"margin:16px 0\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0621\/3002\/8778\/files\/8k2-safety-edge-end-resistor-45mm-drawing.jpg?width=1200\" alt=\"Drawing of the 8K2 safety edge end resistor set for a 45mm edge\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"display:block;width:100%;max-width:760px;height:auto;margin:0 auto\"\u003e\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy this part works\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA monitored edge is only as good as its termination.\u003c\/strong\u003e The board does not just look for a closed contact, it looks for the 8K2 value.

A mechanical contact edge does not use this part, and a board set up for a different value will not read correctly. Our 2m self-assembly edge kit is the matching edge for new layouts.

Follow the assembly order for your profile, fit the resistor at the far end of the run, close the end, and check the edge at the board. Then test the gate: pressing the edge must stop or reverse the gate as your control unit is set up to do. Commissioning and testing must be done by a competent person.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCheck the edge at every service, because a damaged profile or a corroded end can change the reading.
