Gate loops, also known as inductive loops, are devices that are used in conjunction with automatic gates and doors to detect the presence of a vehicle or other object. They work by generating an electromagnetic field within a loop of wire buried beneath the surface of the ground. When a vehicle or other object passes over the loop, it disrupts the electromagnetic field, and the gate or door is triggered to open or close.
There are two main types of gate loops: wired and wireless. Wired gate loops are connected to the gate or door system via a physical wire, which carries the electromagnetic field and signals between the loop and the gate or door controller. Wireless gate loops, on the other hand, use a wireless transmitter and receiver to communicate with the gate or door system.
Wired gate loops are more reliable and less prone to interference than wireless gate loops, but they require the installation of physical wiring, which can be time-consuming and costly. Wireless gate loops, on the other hand, are easier to install and do not require the installation of physical wiring, but they may be less reliable due to the potential for interference from other wireless devices.
Overall, your choice of automatic gate loop depends on the specific needs and requirements of the gate or door system, as well as the budget and installation constraints of the site.
