The sensor unit (300) is designed for capturing (710) an image of an external object (380) at the first vertical edge (14L) of the door leaf (12), and processing (720) the captured image to identify an optical code (360) and recognize a learning mode trigger instruction (370) encoded therein. Triggered by the recognizing of the learning mode trigger instruction (370), a learning mode (352) of the sensor unit (300; S1) is automatically entered into step (730). In the learning mode (352), as entered when triggered by the recognizing of the learning mode trigger instruction (370), a distance (D1) between the sensor unit (300; S1) and the external object (380) at the first vertical edge (14L) is automatically measured (740), and a field width parameter value (FW) of the sensor unit (300; S1) is set based on the measured distance (D1).

Switch arrangements for powered doors are disclosed. A door includes a panel and a track to guide movement of the panel between an open position and a closed position. The track defines a track slot extending along an exterior length of the track. The door further includes a sensor target to be carried by the panel within the track. The door also includes a sensor selectively attachable to an exterior of the track via the track slot. The sensor to detect the sensor target when the panel is in a first position. The track defines an aperture to be positioned between the sensor target and the sensor when the panel is in the first position.
