The Mercury 310 is capable of three types of loop response:
’ Obstruction: Keeps a gate open if activated, OR if a gate is closing, reverses it to open. No eect on an
opening gate.
’ Shadow: Prevents a gate from opening if it is on the close limit, OR keeps it from closing if on the open
limit. No eect on a gate in mid-travel.
’ Exit: If gate is closed, opens it and if gate is closing, reverse it to open.
The Obstruction Loop is intended to prevent a gate from closing onto a vehicle that is activating the sensor.
Refer to loop examples on next page. When activated, the Obstruction Loop input;
1. Prevents an open gate from closing (suspends close timer during activation).
2. Stops a closing gate and reverses it to open limit (suspends close timer during activation).
The associated red LED will FLASH three times if the gate is prevented from closing by the activation. Activation
of this input has no eect on an opening gate or stopped gate that has received an open commend.
The Shadow Loop input is intended to prevent a fully closed gate from opening onto a vehicle or a fully open
gate from closing on a vehicle. Refer to loop examples on next page. When activated, the Shadow Loop input;
1. Prevents a fully closed gate (at close limit) from opening.
2. Prevents a fully open gate (at open limt) from closing (suspends close timer during activation).
The associated red LED will FLASH three times if the gate is prevented from operating by the activation.
Activation of this input has no eect when the gate has started closing, when the gate is opening, or when the
gate is stopped mid-travel (no active limit).

NOTICE
Activation of the obstruction loop re-enables the close timer function.
