Adjust the sensitivity from 0-7. The sensitivity is the blue potentiometer on the side of the loop detector. We generally recommend setting the sensitivity to 5 or 6. When finished, use screws to mount the harness underneath the gate operator chassis, on the back of the power compartment.

Exit Loops An exit loop is a device that opens the gate automatically when a car approaches the gate. A reverse loop is a loop that reverses the direction of a closing gate if a car drives over it. It will also hold a gate open if a vehicle stops over the loop.

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 wires are size 16 or 18 AWG stranded copper XLPE (cross-linked polyethylene) electrical wire. 3 layers of turns are required for a typical 4x8' loop.
