Exit Loop Detector

An exit loop detector is a system designed to automatically open gates or barriers for vehicles leaving a secured area. It works primarily on the principle of electromagnetic induction and is a common component in automated access control systems for driveways, parking lots, and commercial properties.

Here’s how it generally works:

  • Inductive Loop: A wire loop, usually rectangular, is buried beneath the surface of the driveway or exit lane. This loop is connected to a loop detector unit.
  • Electromagnetic Field: The loop detector sends an alternating current through the wire loop, creating a continuous electromagnetic field around it.
  • Vehicle Detection: When a vehicle (which contains a significant amount of metal) drives over or within the range of this electromagnetic field, it disrupts the field. This disruption causes a change in the loop’s inductance.
  • Signal to Gate Operator: The loop detector senses this change in inductance and sends a signal to the gate or barrier’s control system.
  • Automatic Opening: Upon receiving the signal, the gate operator is triggered to open, allowing the vehicle to exit without requiring a remote control, keypad, or manual intervention.

Description

Exit Loop Detector

A exit loop detector, also known as a free exit loop, is a system that uses a buried wire loop and a loop detector to automatically open a gate when a vehicle approaches from the exit side.

The underground exit loop detector allows vehicles to leave a property without needing to operate a remote control, keypad, or other security device. 

How it works:
  1. 1. Loop Installation:

    A wire loop is installed in the driveway, typically in a rectangular shape, and connected to a loop detector. 

  2. 2. Vehicle Detection:

    When a vehicle drives over the loop or is within its detection range, the loop’s inductance changes, which is detected by the loop detector. 

  3. 3. Gate Activation:

    The loop detector sends a signal to the gate operator, causing the gate to open automatically, allowing the vehicle to exit. 

  4. 4. Safety Feature:

    Exit loops can also act as safety devices, preventing the gate from closing on a vehicle that is still in the exit path. 

Benefits:
  • Convenience: Provides a seamless exit for vehicles, especially for guests, delivery drivers, or visitors. 
  • Automation: Eliminates the need for manual gate operation on exit. 
  • Safety: Helps prevent accidents by ensuring the gate remains open while a vehicle is exiting.

*Suitable gate weight: Maximum 200 Kg (Per leaf) Included: *2 x Electromechanical arm *1 x Main control board *1 x Waterproof box *2 x Remote control *1 x Manual release key *1 x Safety sensor
A dual swing gate opener is a motorized system designed to automatically open and close a double swing gate, which consists of two gate panels that meet in the middle.
Each gate panel has its own opener mechanism, allowing them to swing open in opposite directions simultaneously. This setup is common for driveways and other entry points where a wider opening is needed without requiring a single, longer gate. 
Here's a more detailed explanation:
  • Dual Swing Gates:
    These gates have two leaves or panels that swing open, typically inward or outward, to create an opening. 
  • Dual Opener Mechanisms:
    Each leaf of the gate is equipped with its own opener mechanism, which is usually an arm that pushes or pulls the gate. 
  • Synchronized Movement:
    The two opener mechanisms are designed to work together, opening and closing the gate leaves in a coordinated and synchronized manner. 
  • Applications:
    Dual swing gate openers are commonly used for driveways, parking lots, and other areas where a wide opening is needed and a single gate might be too large or impractical. 
  • Benefits:
    They offer space efficiency as they require less space to swing open compared to a single, long gate. They can also provide a more elegant and sophisticated look to the entrance.

Exit Wand Car Detector

An Exit Wand Car Detector, also known as a magnetometer or vehicle sensor, works by sensing changes in the Earth's magnetic field caused by the movement of metal objects, specifically vehicles.
Here's a more detailed breakdown of how it operates:
  1. Magnetometer: The core of an exit wand is a magnetometer. This device is highly sensitive to variations in magnetic fields.
  2. Earth's Magnetic Field: The Earth naturally has a magnetic field surrounding it.
  3. Vehicle Movement: When a large mass of ferrous metal, like a car, truck, or even a heavy piece of metal equipment, moves through this magnetic field, it creates a disturbance or distortion in the field. Think of it like a boat creating waves as it moves through water.
  4. Detection: The exit wand's magnetometer picks up on these subtle "waves" or changes in the magnetic field as the vehicle passes by.
  5. Signal to Gate Opener: Once the changes are detected and exceed a certain threshold (which is often adjustable for sensitivity), the exit wand sends a signal to the gate opener's control board.
  6. Gate Activation: The gate opener, upon receiving this signal, then automatically opens the gate, allowing the vehicle to exit the property "hands-free" – without the need for a remote, keypad, or manual intervention.
Key Characteristics and Considerations:
  • Motion-Activated: A crucial point is that exit wands primarily detect moving metal. If a car is stopped directly over the wand, it may lose detection.
  • Buried Installation: Exit wands are typically buried underground, often alongside the driveway, making them discreet and protected from weather and accidental damage.
  • Sensitivity Adjustment: Most exit wands have an adjustable sensitivity. This allows you to fine-tune how easily it triggers, helping to prevent false alarms from smaller metal objects like bicycles or lawnmowers, or to ensure it detects vehicles at a desired range.
  • Wiring: Wired exit wands have a cable that connects the wand to the gate opener's control box. Wireless versions transmit the signal wirelessly to a receiver connected to the gate opener.
  • Not for Safety Loops: While they are excellent for automatic exit, exit wands are generally not recommended for use as safety loops. Safety loops (which are different, typically inductive loops buried in the driveway itself) are designed to detect any presence of metal, moving or stationary, to prevent the gate from closing on a vehicle.
  • Limitations: They can sometimes be triggered by very large or fast-moving metal objects even if they are not cars. Also, if they are placed too close to the gate, they might experience false triggers.
In essence, an exit wand provides a convenient and reliable way for vehicles to automatically exit a property controlled by an automatic gate, leveraging the principle of magnetic field detection.

Smartphone Gate Controller

A Smartphone gate controller module primarily connects to your existing gate opener by essentially "mimicking" the action of a traditional wired push button or a remote control. Here's a breakdown of the common connection methods:
1. Wired Connection to the Gate Opener's Control Board (Most Common):
  • "Dry Contact" or "Push Button" Terminals: Most gate opener control boards have terminals designed for a wired wall control panel or push button. These are often labeled as "COM" (Common), "PUSH," "START," "CYCLE," or similar.
  • Relay Connection: The Wi-Fi gate controller module typically contains a relay. When you send a command from your smartphone app, the module activates this relay. The relay then momentarily closes a circuit between the designated terminals on your gate opener's control board. This "short circuit" or "dry contact" action is interpreted by the gate opener as a signal to open or close, just as if you had pressed a physical button.
  • Power Supply: The Wi-Fi module itself needs power. It can often be powered directly from the gate opener's control board (if it provides a suitable low-voltage output, e.g., 7-32V), or it might require a separate power adapter (like a 5V USB power supply).
2. "Hacking" an Existing Remote Control (DIY Approach):
  • Some DIY solutions involve wiring the Wi-Fi module to the internal contacts of an existing gate remote control.
  • The module then "presses" the button on the remote control electronically, sending the same signal the remote would normally send to the gate opener. This is less common for commercial products and more of a hobbyist project.
    Key Components and How They Work Together:
  • Wi-Fi Connection: The module connects to your home's Wi-Fi network (2.4 GHz). This allows your smartphone (via the internet) to communicate with the module.
  • Control Board (within the module): This is the "brain" of the module, receiving commands from your smartphone and translating them into signals for the gate opener.
  • Relay: The electromechanical switch that closes the circuit on the gate opener's control board.
  • Input Terminals (optional): Some modules may have inputs for sensors (e.g., magnetic sensors) that can tell you the gate's open/closed status, which is then communicated back to your app.
    General Installation Steps:
  1. Locate the Gate Opener Control Board: This is usually found within the gate opener's housing.
  2. Identify the Control Terminals: Refer to your gate opener's manual to find the terminals for a push button or wall control.
  3. Wire the Module: Connect the output wires from the Wi-Fi module's relay to the appropriate control terminals on the gate opener's board.
  4. Power the Module: Connect the module to a suitable power source.
  5. Connect to Wi-Fi and App: Follow the manufacturer's instructions to connect the module to your Wi-Fi network and pair it with the smartphone app.
  6. Test: Test the functionality from your smartphone.
    Important Considerations:
  • Compatibility: Always check the compatibility of the Wi-Fi module with your specific gate opener brand and model. Some modules are universal, while others are designed for certain manufacturers.
  • Wiring Diagrams: Always consult the wiring diagrams provided by both your gate opener manufacturer and the Wi-Fi module manufacturer.
  • Safety: If you're not comfortable with electrical wiring, it's best to consult a professional electrician or gate technician.
  • Wi-Fi Signal Strength: Ensure a strong 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi signal at the location of the gate opener for reliable operation. You may need a Wi-Fi extender if the gate is far from your router.
