Swing Gate: 3 Loops are required.

 Inside Reverse or Exit Loop
 Shadow Loop underneath the gate swing path
 Outside Reverse Loop

If space permits you may want to install an additional Exit Loop further down the driveway so that the
gate will be open by the time the vehicle reaches the gate.

What is the difference between a Reverse Loop and an Exit Loop?

Exit Loops automatically open the gate when a vehicle drives over them. They will also hold a gate open
and reverse a closing gate, which means they can be used in place of an inside reverse loop.

A Reverse Loop will reverse a closing gate if a vehicle is detected. A reverse loop will also hold a gate
open if a vehicle stops over the loop. If a gate is fully closed and a vehicle drives over a reverse loop
nothing will happen as the gate will not open.

Features and Benefits of preformed loops:

Exit/Free Exit/Automatic Open Loops:

“Do you want to wait 15-30 seconds to leave your property every day?”

“We can install a loop that will automatically open the gate for you as you are exiting, no remotes
required.”

“With an exit loop, guests on your property will be able to leave without you having to follow them out
to open the gate.”

For added convenience, exit loops can be placed up the driveway 40-200’, so that the gate will be fully
open by the time the car reaches the gate.
