Reliable Loop Detector for Gates, Driveways & Traffic Control When you need dependable vehicle detection, this loop detector uses electromagnetic loop sensing to accurately identify vehicles — from motorcycles to full-size trucks — as they enter or exit a loop area. Designed for automatic gates, garage doors, traffic signal controls, and security alarm systems, it's built to trigger reliably without the false reads or missed detections common with cheaper sensors. How It Works As a vehicle passes over or rests within the embedded loop, the detector senses the change in the electromagnetic field and sends a signal to your gate operator, barrier control, or alarm system. This standalone unit installs directly into most operator control boxes and supports free-exit loops, safety loops, closing loops for traffic barriers, and arming loops for access control systems — making it a flexible fit for both residential and commercial installations. Built for Easy Setup and Reliable Performance Dip-switch sensitivity controls let you fine-tune detection for your specific loop size and vehicle mix, with an automatic sensitivity boost that adjusts for vehicles of different heights — so you're not manually recalibrating every time traffic patterns change. Visual and audible feedback confirms detection in real time, making installation and testing straightforward even for first-time installs. Universal 12/24V AC/DC power means it works with most existing gate operators, traffic controllers, and garage door systems without needing a separate converter. Where It's Used Ideal for automatic gates, driveway entry/exit points, garage doors, traffic signal control points, and vehicle sensor alarm applications — trusted by both homeowners installing their first gate system and contractors handling multi-unit or commercial installs. Compatible with LiftMaster and most universal gate operator systems.
