Reverse, Phantom (Shadow) and Exit In-Ground Loop Installation
Secondary Entrapment Protection
Reversing and phantom loops are used to prevent the gate from closing on a vehicle
while it is in the gates swinging path (
CAUTION:
phantom loop is ONLY active when gate
is FULLY open). An exit loop is used to automatically open the gate when a vehicle
approaches to exit.
An experienced installer should perform this installation.
Installation of a reflective photocell sensor is recommended.
Mount the sensors
just above the height of the gate operator in position shown.
Use EMX - IRB - 325 Photocell Sensors.
All
secondary entrapment
sensors are connected to
#8 Edge Sensor Global Input.
Loop wire must be wrapped
inside the groove three times.
Fill the grooves with a proper
sealant.
Connect loop wires to
Loop
Wire Input
on control board.
Connect loop wires directly
to external loop detector.
Loop feed must have
the loop wires twisted
in them approximately
6 twists per foot.

SOLAR-ONLY LOOP DETECTOR POWER NOTE:
It is recommended using
Eagle plug-in loop detectors when using solar-only power. External loop
detectors require a separate power source which is usually not available
when a solar-only configuration is used.
The operator should not be used
to power external loop detectors.
Please contact Eagle Access if you
would like more information about a solar-only setup.
