A loop detector is a triggering device that can be placed under the ground inside the premises. The loop will
trigger the gate open when a vehicle drives over it. It is recommended that the DuraLoop type detector is
used on your D.A.C.E motor.
A slot must be cut into the driveway and then the loop is laid inside the slot. The slot should be about 40mm
deep. A slot must be dug from the edge of the driveway to the loop slot in order to allow the cable to be run
to the motor P.C.Board
A line should be painted on the driveway to indicate the loop position in order for the vehicles to drive over
the correct position. A sign should also be displayed on the gate to inform any person about the loop and
that the gate will automatically open when the loop is activated by a vehicle.
NOTE: Multi-user mode AND auto-close must be selected when a loop is used. (Dipswitch 1)
