Step-by-Step Installation Guide for Commercial Doors & Loading Docks
Modern commercial doors and loading docks often use A/C signal outputs, while LED safety lighting systems typically require D/C signals to operate correctly.
To safely integrate these systems, the A/C Signal Converter 7 is used to convert A/C signals into D/C signals compatible with our LED Controllers.
Without using a signal converter, connecting A/C signals directly to the LED controller can damage the controller and potentially the transformer supplying signal power.
This guide walks through the installation process so installers and technicians can quickly configure the system and ensure proper operation.

What the A/C Signal Converter Does
The A/C Signal Converter allows LED controllers to safely interpret signals from commercial door operators and gate operators that output A/C voltage.
It works by converting those incoming signals into a format the LED controller can process.
Typical applications include:
Commercial overhead doors
Rolling steel doors
Loading dock doors
Gate operators
Safety eye signal integration
This ensures your LED safety warning lights activate properly when doors open, close, or move.
When Should Installers Use the A/C Signal Converter?
The converter should be used whenever a door operator or gate operator outputs A/C control signals.
Common environments include:
Fire stations
Warehouses
Distribution centers
Manufacturing facilities
Vehicle service bays
Loading docks
In these environments, LED safety lighting systems provide visual warnings when doors move, helping prevent accidents involving forklifts, pedestrians, and vehicles.
Improve Safety Around Moving Doors
BrinkAlert LED safety lighting systems are designed to create clear visual warnings whenever a commercial door or gate begins moving.
By combining the LED Controller with the A/C Signal Converter, installers can integrate safety lighting into virtually any commercial door operator.
This makes it easier to protect workers, equipment, and facilities from door-related accidents.
