Time to "Cut the Cord"... INTRODUCING A new wireless breakthrough that eliminates coil cords and retracting reels... MEL transmitter/receiver eliminates the need to hardwire a monitored edge sensor to the door operator. Attach MEL to currently Listed UL325 commercial door operators - when the edge sensor is activated, MEL sends a wireless signal to the operator to reverse. • MEL MONITORS: constantly for a loss of signal transmission or fault in the system • MEL IS UNIVERSAL: no separate module required Use with any monitored Sensing Edge Use with non-monitored ancillary Sensing Edges Use with nearly every commercial door operator P.O.

Thus, a shift from 110.0 to 122.0 indicates that demand for the indexed item has grown by 10.9% (122÷110). To give GDAI as broad a perspective as possible, it has been constructed from a composite of multiple economic indicators ranging from macro measures (Gross Domestic Product) to demand trends for selected building materials, plus the determined U.S. demand for garage doors. Index numbers are always calculated relative to a base period, which for the GDAI is the calendar year 2003. Index numbers tend to confrm information about which we already have a reasonable suspicion, but the index magnitude and direction provide substantiation. 30 For almost all garage door dealers, the most proftable transactions are sales of service and repair, thus it is important to keep in mind the fact that aftermarket servicing is not refected in GDAI because demand parameters vary signifcantly from those of door sales per se. International Door & Operator Industry™ The combination of expansion in some construction sectors (e.g., housing), but weakness in others (e.g., schools and hospitals), coupled with modest increases in building materials sales and DIY expenditures has reduced GDAI growth.
