It is VERY important to have enough separation
between loops and gates to prevent false detection.
Drawing not to scale
Maximum gate length for Robo Slide is 20 Feet.
As A increases in size to cover a larger gate opening, the gate will cause a larger change of inductance when opening and closing.
Therefore dimension C must increase as A increases.
If A =
Then C =
Dimension D should be equal to or greater than the larger of the
If the Inside and outside safety loop are connected to the same loop detector they should be series connected. Dimension A, B and C
should be the same for each loop. Both loops should have the same number of turns of wire.
This is for a typical single Robo Slide loop installation. Individual circumstances may alter dimensions.

To AVOID damaging control board, disconnect all power to
operator BEFORE installing plug-in loop detectors.
Use a different frequency for every loop detector installed.
