Warning Signs

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.

(Inside Property)

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.

Check national

and local codes
