Figure A
Exit Loops
Loop wires are installed 1.5" underground by cutting the concrete with a circular saw.
The typical size loop is 8x4'. Common loop wire size is 18 AWG. 3 layers of turns are required
for a typical 4x8' loop. Place a plastic foam above the loop wire turns to hold it in place. The
ends must be twisted back into the gate operator with a minimum of 6 twists per foot. The
twisted ends must be placed inside a PVC conduit. Use sealant to close the ground once
finished.
If you purchased a Calimet Brand Loop Detector Plugin, it is installed in the brackets below
(figure A). The loop wires are installed in the LOOPDETECTOR Relay. See the loop detector
instruction manual for more installation instructions.
For other brand exit loops or exit wands, use the Exit Loop relay, and the 24-VDC and 24V-
COM if using the gate operator to power the device.
For reverse loops located on the inside of the gate, use the PHANTOM relay. For reverse
loops located on the outside of the gate, use the SAFETY relay.
The exit loop relays are located on the bottom right of the gate operator circuit board.
