Entrapment Danger
VEHICLE LOOPS
The vehicle loops allow the gate to stay open when vehicles are obstructing the
gate path. Suggested for vehicles 14 feet (4.27 m) or longer. Vehicle loops are
not required but are recommended.

EARTH GROUND ROD
Proper grounding gives an electrical
charge, such as from an electrical
static discharge or a near lightning
strike, a path from which to
dissipate its energy safely into the
earth. Without this path, the intense
energy generated by lightning could
be directed towards the gate
operator. Although nothing can
absorb the tremendous power of a
direct lightning strike, proper
grounding can protect the gate
operator in most cases.
