Exit Loop
Automatically opens the gate
for exiting vehicles without
having to use a transmitter or
keypad. The exit loop can be
placed a minimum of 4 feet
away from the reverse loop or
far enough away from the gate
so the gate has started or
completely opened by the time
you drive up to it (Free exit).

Shadow Loop
The shadow loop is placed
inside the gate’s swinging path to prevent the
gate from closing on a vehicle in this area. It is
only active when the gate is in the full open
position. Vehicles in the shadow area will
activate it. It will not allow the gate to close
unless this area is clear. After a closing cycle
begins, the shadow loop will not reverse the
gate. Reverse loops work in conjunction with
the shadow loop and both should be used.
Reverse Loops
Reverse loops are placed just outside the
gate’s swinging path to prevent the gate from
closing on a vehicle in these areas. They will
reverse the cycling of the gate while a vehicle
is in or near the gate’s swing pathway.
In-Ground Loops
Loop lead-in wires are twisted
approx. 6 twists per foot in PVC
conduit to the control box.
Install Warning Signs
This DoorKing Swing Gate Operator is shipped with two warning signs. The
purpose of the warning sign is to alert uninformed persons, and to remind
persons familiar with the gate system, that a possible hazard exists so that
appropriate action can be taken to avoid the hazard or to reduce exposure
to the hazard. See page 8 for suggested mounting positions of signs.
• Permanently install the supplied warning signs in locations so
that the signs are visible by persons on both sides of the gate.
• Use appropriate hardware such as wood or sheet metal screws
(not supplied) to install the warning signs.
To help protect the operator from
accidentally closing on vehicles
in the gate’s path, DoorKing
highly recommends that loops
and loop detectors be installed.
Loops are laid underneath, cut
into asphalt or concrete drive-
ways or buried beneath gravel
and earth driveways. A loop
detection system will sense a
vehicle like a metal detector and
send a signal to the gate operator
preventing the gate from
automatically opening or closing
on a vehicle when it is in the
gate’s path. DoorKing recom-
mends that a licensed installer
perform this work.
