Overview
What it is
ExpertSystem XL is a modular electrical safety edge (pressure-sensitive edge) system. A conductive EPDM switching contact sits inside a black EPDM contact profile that clips over an aluminium mounting profile, closed by end caps and plug-in contact end pieces. Bircher markets it as the successor name of the ExpertLine edge system.
What it is used for
It protects the main and secondary closing edges of automatic sliding gates, swing gates, bi-folding and high-speed folding doors, so the drive stops and reverses when the edge touches a person or vehicle.
Key features
- Eight contact profiles from 42 to 99 mm high, matched to 24, 30 and 36 mm wide mounting profiles.
- Screw-locked, coded plug connectors for fast wiring and edge exchange.
- Contact profile fully covers the aluminium carrier for a clean look.
- IP67 when assembled, -20 to +60 °C.
- 8.2 kΩ resistor plug for monitored safety circuits.
- Type approval to EN 12978 and EN ISO 13856-2 per the Bircher brochure.
Buying considerations
Bircher supplies XL as edges pre-assembled to length, as 2 m self-assembly kits, or as components. Kits include contact profile, mounting profile, two contact end pieces, two end caps, an 8.2 kΩ resistor plug and a 5 m cable. Select the profile height from the overtravel your gate needs; for other lengths request a quote.
Installation considerations
An edge on its own is not a safety device. It must be connected to a monitoring switching device or to the ExpertSystem XRF wireless system so the 8.2 kΩ circuit is evaluated. Maximum voltage is 24 V AC/DC at 10 mA.
Compatibility
Designed to work with ExpertSystem XRF transmitters, including the XRF-TI built-in transmitter, and with Bircher switching devices such as ESD3.

Questions about this product
Is ExpertSystem XL the same as Bircher ExpertLine?
Yes. The Bircher ExpertSystem solution brochure states that the ExpertLine safety edge system is now marketed under the name ExpertSystem XL.
What comes in an ExpertSystem XL kit?
One contact profile, one mounting profile, two contact end pieces, two end caps, one 8.2 kΩ resistor plug and one 5 m connection cable, for edges up to 2,000 mm.
Can I order a safety edge cut to my gate length?
Yes. Bircher offers XL edges pre-assembled to length with cables and switching devices configured for the project. Send the gate dimensions with your quote request.
What do I connect the edge to?
To a switching device that monitors the 8.2 kΩ circuit, such as Bircher ESD3, or to an ExpertSystem XRF wireless transmitter and receiver on moving gate leaves.
