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 in the power to the accessories, 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 27):

Every command of the radio transmitter will control the gate as follows: a) First command opens the gate b) Second command stops the gate c) Third command closes the gate d) Any subsequent commands will continue

NOTE: This type of configuration is not recommended for commercial applications.

Open Only

2. By having the radio receiver connected as illustrated and with the Hold Open Timer ON (see page 27):

Each command of the radio transmitter is ALWAYS AN OPEN COMMAND to the gate.
