Document Title:
Unitec CAME Gate and Gate Controller Installation Guide
Introduction
This document provides instructions for installing the Unitec gate controller for use with the Sentinel, Portal or
WashSelect II entry units and Unitec supplied gates. Topics covered in this manual include:
• Conduit and wiring requirements for the gate controller and gates
• Guidelines for locating and installing vehicle detection loops (required for safe gate operation)
• Connection schematics for the gate and gate controller wiring.
Additional instructions for installing the entry units and gates are available in the installation manuals that are
provided with those products.
Site Planning
Figure 1 depicts a typical multi-lane gated installation. The gates are located approximately 10 ft past the
entry units and positioned on the same centerline as the terminal. Vehicle detection loops are required
after each arm to prevent the arm from closing on a vehicle. Additional loops may be required in the
‘merge’ area to ensure accurate queuing of vehicles. Additional details on planning and installation of
loops are provided later in this document.
The gate controller is supplied in NEMA enclosure and should be mounted on a wall in
the equipment
room.
