For installation in existing concrete or asphalt roads. Saw-cut loops are cut into the surface and sealed with loop sealant. If you plan to bury loops please go back and select “Direct Burial Application” to view the proper diagrams.

Notes about Swing Gates:

Swing gates require a minimum of 3 loops to properly protect the gate path as pictured in red above:

• An Inside Reverse Loop or Exit Loop
• A Shadow Loop
• An Outside Reverse Loop

Reverse Loops will hold the gate open, or reverse a closing gate if a vehicle enters or stops within the gate path. The in-side reverse loop can be connected to the exit loop function if you desire. An Exit Loop will do everything a reverse loop does and will also open the gate automatically when a car drives over it. A Shadow Loop will check before the gate clos-es to see if a vehicle is present. When the gate is in motion the shadow loop will not respond to any detection, which is why reverse/exit functions are required on each side of the gate.

Have a long approach on the secure side? An additional exit loop further down the driveway will make the system more convenient for users. They will not have to wait for the gate to open when exiting.
