Exit Wands Or Gate Opening Sensors
You may have heard about a gate-opening sensor or probe but may not know what it means. While gate opener or exit wands are less magical than their names imply, they offer extra convenience when using a gate opener. Usually, a wand, probe, or vehicle sensor is wired to the gate opener control box and is used to sense when a vehicle crosses over it.
Application of Exit Wands
It would help if you had an exit wand for your gate opener because it not only offers the convenience of automatically opening your gate, but these exit wands usually include lightning protection and are resistant to heat.
No longer will you need a key fob, keypad, or remote to enter your gate. This is a foolproof system for detecting cars since it uses the Earth’s magnetic field to detect your car. As your vehicle moves through the magnetic field, the exit wand detects this and suddenly causes your gate to open or close.
The only downside of this system is that it will not detect cars when they are not in movement. However, for the most part, these systems are created to not detect false signals from animals or people since they only detect metal.
Key Features to Look for in Exit Wands
- Sensitivity: The exit wand should be sensitive enough to detect approaching vehicles without triggering false activations.
- Range: A wider detection range ensures that vehicles are detected early, allowing ample time for the gate to open.
- Durability: The exit wand should be constructed from weather-resistant materials to withstand various environmental conditions.
- Easy Installation: A user-friendly installation process saves time and reduces labor costs.
- Compatibility: Ensure the exit wand is compatible with your existing gate opener system.
- Adjustable Sensitivity: The ability to adjust sensitivity levels allows for customization based on specific site requirements.
