Loop Detector Installation For Gate

Vehicular loop detector systems loop detectors and loops are strongly recommended on all automated vehicular gate applications to help prevent gates from closing on vehicles in the path of the gate.

Loop detector installation for gate.

Safety loops are used to prevent a gate from closing on a vehicle. We carry models from emx platinum access northstar diabo mmtc liftmaster doorking reno a7e linear miller edge hysecurity faac ramset sea eagle apollo and byan. Single and dual channel circuit boards available. The resistance should be greater than 100 megaohms.

When connecting more than one loop to a detector always connect the loops in series. In general direct burial loops are placed below the surface prior to application of asphalt or concrete while cut in loops are installed within a slot sawed into. Vehicle loops and loop detectors are used to detect the presence of a vehicle to open a gate or as a safety device to prevent the gate from closing on a vehicle in its path. The loop is connected to the detector.

The size of the loop also determines the loop placement. The loop from the detector place one lead of the meter to one of the lead wires of the loop and the other to earth ground. The correct phasing of the loops is important if the loops are close to each other. Essentially loops should be placed a minimum of 4 from the gate.

Lite preformed loop this pr loop is ready to use lightweight loop is compatible with all of emx s vehicle loop detectors and features rugged and flexible tpe tubing. When connecting more than one loop to a detector always connect the loops in series. Loop tester tstl this accessory helps operators to locate issues occurring within a gate or door installation. A loop detection system is a method of sensing vehicles and is typically used in automated gate applications to prevent a gate from automatically closing on a vehicle or to automatically open the gate when a vehicle is exiting a property.

Inductance loops are available as direct burial or cut in. Loop detectors are available as direct plug in for specific gate operator control boards or use a universal 11 pin octal connector. View more loop detector loop overview. The octal connector is available as a harness or a mountable socket.

Essentially loops should be placed a minimum of 4 from the gate. Two loops can be wired to one detector. Exit loops are used to open gates to allow a vehicle s exit. The larger the loop the greater the spacing must be between the loop and the gate.

The sensitivity setting on the loop detector should be increased when adding loops to the same detector.
