IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury:
READ THE FOLLOWING DIRECTIONS. DO NOT START UNTIL YOU HAVE READ AND
UNDERSTAND THESE DIRECTIONS. IF THERE IS SOMETHING YOU DON’T
UNDERSTAND CALL US.
Never let children operate or play with gate controls. Keep the remote control away
from children.
Always keep people and objects away from the gate. No one should cross the path of
the moving gate.
This operator must be tested monthly. The gate must reverse on contact with a ridged
object or stop when an object activates the non-contact sensors. After adjusting the
force or the limit travel, retest the gate operator. Failure to adjust and retest the gate
operator properly can increase the risk of injury.
Use the emergency release only when the gate is not moving.
Keep gates properly maintained. Have a qualified service person make repairs to gate
hardware. It takes many years of experience to make proper adjustments to gate
hardware or operators.
This entrance is for vehicles only. Pedestrian must use separate entrance.
There is nothing on a gate operator that is easily repaired without a great deal of
experience. Save yourself some time and call a qualified Gate Service Contractor who
knows your type of gate operator.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE

230V
All gate operators be properly grounded.
A proper ground in a gate operator installation minimizes or prevents damage from an electrical charge, such as a near
lightning strike or an electrical static discharge.
.
Use a single wire for the ground. DO NOT splice two wires for the ground. If the wire breaks or is cut, replace it with a
single length. NEVER use two wires for the ground.
Check with your City code for proper earth ground rod type and proper grounding procedures.

WHEN USED
This is a normal loop layout. Remember when connecting to an All-O-Matic circuit board you
use the normally closed contacts (N.C.) from the safety loop detector and normally open
contacts from the exit and phantom loop detectors. You must twist the loop wires from the
exit point of the saw cut of each loop all the way to the loop rack, no exceptions.
The TORO 24 control box includes the plug-in loop rack for EXIT, PHANTOM and SAFETY
(reverse) loop detectors.

GENERAL LOOP INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
The following loop installation guidelines are for installing typical driveway loops for access
control applications (i.e. parking gates, sliding gates, swing gates etc...) Always consult with
loop detector manufacturers for specific equipment guidelines. This will confirm that the
proper configuration and installation techniques are applied for your application.
Useful information about inductive loops:
A. The typical sensing height is 2/3 of the shortest leg of loop (in feet)
Therefore a 4’ x 8’ loop typically has a detection height of 2.6’.
B. The inductance of a conventional four-slide loop can be estimated
using the formula:
L = P x (T + T) / 4 Where L = Loop Inductance in microHenries
P = Loop Perimeter in feet
T = Number of turns of wire in saw slot
Therefore a 4’ x 8’ loop with 3 turns would be:
L=(4 + 8 + 4 + 8) x (3 + 3) / 4
L=24 x (9 + 3) / 4
L=24 x 12 / 4
L=24 x 3
L=72 microHenries

Loop wires should be twisted 6 turns
per foot, and twisted from saw slot to
the detector. If possible start twisting
the wires from the edge of the loop.
All 90 degree corners should be
chamfered so that the course of the
wire does not change direction
sharply but rather at shallower angles
of 45 degrees or less. Core drilling of
the corners achieves the same effect
but can still lead to failure due to
sharp edges remaining in the corner
area.

ENTRAPMENT PROTECTION INSTALLATION
FOR SWINGING GATES
A minimum of two monitored entrapment protection devices are required for each entrapment zone.
All locations or point of contact where a person can become entrapped between a moving gate and a
rigid object is considered an entrapment zone. The operator has an inherent entrapment protection
(ERD) system. It requires an external monitored entrapment protection device (contact edge sensor or
non-contact photoelectric sensor) for each entrapment zone prior to gate operation. The operator
cycles power to the external entrapment protection device and checks for device signals. If the
operator does not receive the correct feedback from the device, the gate will not operate.
Below are some samples of entrapment zones and where the entrapment protection devices should
be installed.

There are two type of entrapment protection devices that can be connected to the operator, NON-
CONTACT SENSOR (PHOTO EYE) and CONTACT SENSOR (EDGE SENSORS). These inputs are for
monitored ENTRAPMENT PROTECTION devices.
MON_CLOSE (an LED will indicate when an obstruction is detected or device not present)
This input is only for the close direction monitored entrapment
protection device. When gate is closing it will open to the full open
position if an obstruction is sensed and resets the auto close timer.
This input does nothing in the opening direction. If a device is not
detected or it senses a fault (MON_FAULT LED will turn ON), the
operator will only work on constant pressure actuated switch.
MON_OPEN (an LED will indicate when an obstruction is detected or device not present)
This input is only for the open direction monitored entrapment
protection device. When gate is opening it will reverse 2 seconds
and stop if an obstruction is sensed. This input does nothing in the
closing direction. On power up, if a device presence is not detected
the operator will assume one is not required for opening direction. If
a device is connected and board detects a fault (MON_FAULT LED will
turn ON), the operator will only work on constant pressure actuated
switch.
Monitored entrapment protection devices use four wires to connect to the board. From the device,
connect relay common to board COMMON and N.C. relay contact to assigned MON_OPEN or
MON_CLOSE input. Connect the power wires to the COMMON and MON-12VDC. VERY
IMPORTANT: The MON-12VDC supply must be used (not the normal 12VDC terminal) to properly
monitor entrapment protection devices.
Refer to the device manufacturer wiring instructions for details. Be sure to follow the N.C. directions.
Some devices may work on different monitoring interfaces as well as the N.C..
Should there be a need for more than one entrapment protection device for each direction, a multi-
input module from Miller Edge Model: MIM-62 (not included) may be used .
