How a Loop Detector Works
Loop detectors have a magnetic field that can sense when a motor vehicle is present. It sends a signal to the gate operator’s control board. The control board then tells the gate arm what safe and secure operation to execute, considering the states of the other subsystems.

Barrier Gate Operators
Barrier gate operators are ideal when a higher level of security or traffic control is needed. They are tied into a complete system, and can be operated automatically by subsystems such as a card reader, keypad, or telephone entry system. Other subsystems are available as well, such as radio, photo eye, and remotely through a guard station kiosk.
