PURPOSE OF A SAFETYEDGE

The purpose of a rolling door or grille safetyedge is to reverse the closing action if the door or grille comes in contact with an obstruction. The very first safetyedges operated pneumatically, then they were engineered to operate electrically, now The Cookson Company, Inc. introduces a new wave in safetyedge design - Phantom Featheredge™ - the very first device using air wave technology. All it takes is a slight depression in the Phantom Featheredge to create the necessary wave motion which sends a signal to the control panel and immediately reverses the closing action of the door or grille. And, it's cordless!

OTHER SAFETYEDGES ARE UNRELIABLE

Some of the reasons a traditional safetyedge might fail are:
	The power cord has been damaged or is simply not connected.
	The safetyedge has been torn or punctured.
	The safetyedge contacts have corroded.
	The temperature has effected the pressure required to activate the safetyedge.

The Cookson Company, Inc. Phantom Featheredge will not fail for any of these reasons because; it does not require a connecting power cord to function; it will operate properly even if punctured or torn; it has no contacts to corrode; and variations in temperature will not effect its operating sensitivity. Can you afford to take a chance with safety? Of course you can't. Always specify Cookson rolling doors and grilles with Phantom Featheredge. The only safetyedge with air wave technology that does not require a connecting power cord.

BENEFITS WITH PHANTOM FEATHEREDGE

More Sensitive - Phantom Featheredge does not rely on pressure, electrical contacts, or volumes of air to activate a switch to reverse the door or grille. Air wave technology activates the reversing action with minimal impact.

Resists an Electrical Malfunction - Today's electrical safetyedges can malfunction if the covering is torn away allowing water to enter the device.

Reliable Contact Operation - Because there are no electrical contacts, it is impossible for corrosion or tearing to render the Phantom Featheredge inoperable.

Doesn't Rely on Temperature of Pressure - The Phantom Featheredge does not depend on air volume for activation, therefore, temperature changes do not effect the operation of the device.

Not Effected by Punctures or Tears - Small punctures or tears which so often occur in traditional safetyedges will not inhibit dependable operation of the Phantom Featheredge.

Does Not Require a Connecting Power Cord - Until now, all safetyedge devices required a power cord connected to the motor control panel. These unsightly cords usually hang in the door opening and often become disconnected, rendering the safetyedge device inoperable. The Phantom Featheredge does not require a connecting power cord.

Fail-Safe Reliability - The Phantom Featheredge device has a built-in feature to ensure the door or grille will not close on an object even if for some reason the safetyedge becomes inoperable. If the device is not completely functional, the fail-safe feature indicates a problem by requiring constant pressure on the close button to activate the system.
