Chamberlain Elite Safety or Exit Loop Vehicle Detectors are built to work exclusively with the Elite CSW200UL Series of gate openers. Elite detectors are made to plug right into terminal J8 on the bottom left of the Omni board. Once the wires from the loop are attached your Elite Safety or Exit Loop Detector is ready to go.
One of the features of the Elite Detector is the "FAIL" LED indicator. This particular indicator acts as a troubleshooting mechanism to let you know if there is a problem with the loop whether the loop circuit was shorted (3Hz Flash) or open (.5 Hz Flash), or any other issues with the loop.
Multiple Elite Safety or Exit Loop Vehicle Detectors can be installed in the same Gate Opener. Using the frequency switches, each device can be set at a different frequency so there is no interference. There is also a set of sensitivity switches so you can determine what vehicles will trigger the loop sequence.
Note: Changing the sensitivity setting will automatically reset the detector. Changing frequency only will not reset the detector. It is always necessary to reset the detector after changing the frequency setting.

Words from Senior Application Engineer, Anthony Gaeto
“We are always getting questions about how gate exit wands work and how they are different from exit loops.
Exit wands are what is know as a magnetometer which senses changes in the Earth’s magnetic field. An easy way to explain how exit wands work is to picture a boat traveling through the water. As the boat is traveling it is creating waves. As your car travels through the magnetic field of the Earth it creates similar waves, like the boat. The exit wand’s magnetometer picks up on these waves as you travel by the wand. One downside of exit wands is that they do loose sight of your vehicle when it is stopped.
Gate Crafters carries 5 different types of exit wands that work very similar to each other. The only difference between these wands are some of their features. The GTO/PRO wireless exit wand is wireless between the magnetometer and receiver. The Gate Crafters exit wand is manufactured by EMX and has been around for years. The GTO exit wand is recommend for use with other GTO openers and accessories. The Estate Swing exit wand does come with a range control board that allow you to adjust the sensitivity of the magnetometer. This feature allows you tune down the range of the exit wand, so that vehicles such as a lawn mower doesn’t set open your gate, but this isn’t a complete failsafe, as it will still operate the gate opener when something is nearby. The Estate Swing Deluxe Exit wand is the most different from the other exit wands. It is constructed out of copper and features a ground cable that attach to a grounding rod that helps protect this exit wand from lightning strikes. The other 4 exit wands do not have this feature and are susceptible to damage from lightning strikes. Also the Estate Swing Deluxe Exit Wand comes with a 5 year warranty, which is longer than any other exit wand we sell.
Exit loops differ from exit wands in that they are buried in the driveway in a loop and are wire to the gate opener. The way exit loops work is that they detect the presence of metal (your car) above the loop. It does not matter if your car is moving or not, the loop will detect the car. Besides being used to exit your property, exit loops are used for safety. When exit loops are used a safety device, they will prevent your gate from closing on your car, when it detect a car nearby to your gate. The exit loop is wired to a exit loop detector, which is then wired into your gate opener’s control board.
