Calimet CM9-604 Installation Manual

Loop detector

Loop Detector Installation Manual

Plug the loop detector into the matching connector on the gate opener circuit

board. Green light blinks. Figure 1.

Install the loop wire (not included) underground. If not already installed, see instructions

below.

Connect the loop wire to the "LOOPDETECTOR" terminal on the circuit board. Figure 1

4. On the loop detector, turn loop sensitivity from 0 to 7, a larger number indicates higher

sensitivity.

5. Finished.

Note: If the gate opens without an intentional trigger, downgrade the sensitivity until fixed.

Page 2 Installing the Loop Wire Underground Saw Cut Loops - Loops can be saw cut into concrete or asphalt using a circular saw. They can be placed under brick pavers or be embedded in a poured concrete road surface. Size of Loop - We recommend the standard 4ft x 8ft that detects most vehicles, but you may use a different size.
Page 3 Number of Turns Use 3 turns for a standard 4ft x 8ft loop. For different size loops, use 4 turns for 10-20ft in perimeter, 3 turns for 20-32ft in perimeter, and 2 turns for 32-98ft in perimeter. Twist the ends of the loop wire Take both ends of the loop wire, and twist it for about 8-10 feet, minimum 6 turns.
