Safety Loops
Are placed on each side of the gate to
prevent the gate from closing on a
vehicle in it’s path. They will stop or
reverse the cycling of the gate while a
vehicle is in or near the gate’s pathway.
Center Loop
Will
ONLY HOLD
the gate in the
Full
Open Position
when a vehicle is on the
center loop. However, it
WILL NOT stop
or reverse
the gate once it starts to
close.
Exit Loop
Automatically opens the gate for exiting
vehicles without having to use a radio
transmitter (remote control). The exit
loop can be placed a minimum of 4 feet
away from the safety loop or far enough
away from the gate so it has opened by
the time the vehicle approaches it.
