Phasing loops refers to the 

direction that the electrical current flows through the loops

, and not necessarily the physical 

direction that the loop wire has been wound. For example, if two loops are installed and physically wound in a Clockwise  
direction, you can reverse the electrical current through one of the loops by simply reversing the connection where the loops 
are wired together. Doing this effectively changes the “electrical” direction that the loops are wound.

Loop 2

Terminal 

Reverse the loop 2 
wires to reverse the 
“electrical” direction 
(Phase) of loop 2. 
Loop 2 will then 
function in a counter-
clockwise “electrical” 
direction. 

Note: If slide gate reverses direction during cycling without an obstruction 
present (vehicle on loop), loop sensitivity fields might be attracted to each 
other and sensing the gate’s movement. Electrically reversing one loop would 
change the field of sensitivity allowing a “Dead Zone” for gate movement.  

It was mentioned previously that when two loops are wired to the same detector terminal, they must be the same size, same 
number of turns and the same distance from the gate. They must be connected in series and the direction in which each loop is 
wound is important for proper door or gate operation. It is also advisable to have the loop connections accessible for mainte-
nance and repair. Route each of the loop lead-in wires all the way to the loop detector 
before wiring the loops together in series for easier access to the loop connections in 
future maintenance, rather than connecting them together in a water tight junction box 
in the ground and running a single lead-in cable to the loop detector.
