WARNING Consult the installation instructions from the loop detector
manufacturer. The following statements are provided as a guide but different
requirements may be required by the vehicular loop detector manufacturer.
Guidelines for Vehicular Loop Detector Installation
1. Prevent sharp corners in the geometry of the loop sensor.
2. Install the appropriate number of turns for your loop geometry based on
the loop perimeter. Use Table C (below) as a guide.
3. Use XLP (cross-linked-polyethylene) type of wire. This wire reduces the
effects of moisture and other environmental events in altering the
functionality of the vehicular loop detector.
4. Twist the lead wire at least 6 turns per foot.
5. Use BACKER-ROD to minimize damage to the loop detector wire prior to using
the sealant.
6. Place the loop detector wire and adjust the sensitivity of the vehicular
loop detector unit in a way to minimize the effects of the gate over the loop
detector wire.
IMPORTANT Some of the following parameters may affect the proper
functionality of the vehicular loop detector (consult the installation manual
and the manufacturer of the vehicular loop detector). · Gate size, · Number of
turns in the loop sensor wire; · Distance from the loop sensor wire to the
gate either at the open or close position.

Radio Receiver
When connecting the Radio Receiver carefully verify the proper connections.
The maximum voltage that the control board provides for external accessories
is the maximum voltage of the battery, which is about 28 volts. In the event
of an electrical short the board will protect itself by shutting down and will
remain shut down until the short is corrected.
The control board provides two modes of operation that a radio receiver can
control the gate:
Open-Stop-Close
1. By having the radio receiver connected as illustrated and with the Hold
Open Timer OFF (see page 28):
Every command of the radio transmitter will control the gate as follow: a)
First command opens the gate, b) Second command stops the gate and c) Third
command closes the gate d) Any subsequent commands will continue
in the same order to control the gate.
This type of configuration is not recommended for a commercial installations.
Open Only
2. By having the radio receiver connected as illustrated and with the Hold
Open Timer ON (see page 28):
Each command of the radio transmitter is ALWAYS AN OPEN COMMAND to the gate.
