9. Sensitivity is the only adjustment available on the detector itself. Generally, sensitivity does not need to be
increased unless the loop is large or there are multiple loops connected to one detector.
NOTE
Do not exceed more than 200 square feet (61 square meters) of loop area to one detector.
If required, adjust the sensitivity using the rotary switch which has the following eight settings:
• 0 = Low with boost (See NOTE.)
• 1 = Normal with boost (See NOTE.)
• 2 = Medium with boost (See NOTE.)
• 3 = High with boost (See NOTE.)
• 4 = Low without boost
• 5 = Normal without boost
• 6 = Medium without boost
• 7 = High without boost
NOTE
A boost feature is applied for settings 0 through 3. Boost increases the sensitivity during a call
and is useful for maintaining continuous detection if the signal becomes weak (such as with
tractor-trailer trucks). Sensitivity settings 4 through 7 are the same as 0 through 3, but without
the boost feature.
10. Vehicle detector functions are configurable through the Installer Menu as described in Table 4-2.
11. The outside and inside Obstruction Loop Detectors are factory configured to fully re-open the gate as a
default setting. In the Installer Menu, each detector can individually be set so that when the gate is closing
there is only a pause if triggered. To change the setting, go to the menu OR or IR item and set to 0.

(Bold - Default)
Display Meaning
OR 1 Outside Obstruction loop detector function 0 = Pause closing only
1 = Enable reversing to open
IR 1 Inside Obstruction loop detector function 0 = Pause closing only
1 = Enable reversing to open
HD 1 Center Loop detector function 0 = Hold open only
1 = Hold open and Hold closed
DL 1 Vehicle detector logic 1 = Standard (Close Timer does not begin counting until all
loops have cleared)
2 = Quick close (Close Timer can count to zero, even while
loops are active, so the gate will close as soon as the loops are
clear)
