The Marantec Protect-Opto 602 is a leading edge optical safety device intended for use on   industrial sectional doors. (aslo called a leading light barrier).  The Protect-Opto 602 sensor is designed to monitor the bottom edge of the door for obstacles while the door is closing.

• It is a non-contact safety system mounted on the bottom edge of the door leaf
• Designed to detect obstacles before physical contact
• Prevents injury and damage by triggering stop/reverse functions
• Upon contact with the floor, the sensor retracts and rotates away from under the door path.

It is described as:

an “optical safety device to protect against personal injury and damage to property”

Operating Principle

• Uses infrared transmitter + receiver (DUO system)
• Mounted on the moving door edge
• Creates a horizontal light barrier in front of the closing edge
• If the beam is interrupted → control unit:
  • Stops the door
  • Reverses movement

 This is why it is called a “leading edge device” — it detects hazards before contact.

Key Features

• Optical (non-contact) safety edge
• DUO system (2 transmitters + 2 receivers)
  → prevents false triggering from reflections
• Foldable / hinged mechanism
  → allows it to follow door movement along guide rails
• Designed for:
  • Sectional doors without safety edge rubber
• Works with:
  • OSE-compatible controllers (CS300 / CS310 / CS320, etc.)

System Components (Scope of Supply)

• DUO transmitter (with ~1 m cable)
• DUO receiver (with ~1 m cable)
• Mounting brackets
• Floor mounting plates
• Installation hardware

Installation & Integration

• Mounted on bottom edge of door leaf
• Must be installed:
  • At equal height for transmitter & receiver
  • Running along guide rails to cover full opening width
• Typical control integration:
  • CS 300
  • CS 310
  • CS 400
• Requires:
  • OSE safety input connection

---

Applications

• Industrial sectional doors
• Commercial garage doors
• High-traffic entrances
• Doors requiring contactless safety edge protection

---

Important Notes

• Not suitable for:
  • Certain operators (e.g. Comfort 390 Plus requires light curtain instead)
• Requires:
  • Correct setup of reversal point / limit settings in controller
• Often used instead of:
  • Traditional 8.2kΩ safety edges
