80 • DECEMBER 2011 • WORLD FENCE NEWS On September 15 it was my pleasure to bring BD Loops's pop- ular "Everything You Need to Know About Loops" educational seminar to a large group of Califor- nia access control installing dealers who are clients of Encon Electron- ics, a leading wholesale distributor in the access control industry. The turnout for the educational event was great, with installers coming from all over central and northern California to learn about loops. The "Everything You Need to Know About Loops" educational Bringing "Everything You Need to Know About Loops" to Encon Electronics dealers BY BRIAN DICKSON, GENERAL MANAGER, BD LOOPS seminar covers topics such as loop size and placement, loops in paral- lel and series, loop phasing, how to make more money installing loops, time saving tricks and techniques, how to properly diagnose a faulty loop system and much more.

We feel our loop class has ington Beach, Calif. Response to the seminar was very positive, I am glad to report. One attendee, Kurt Jenning from Mountain View Door Closer – Key & Lock Service, Inc. told me, "It was great having everything about loops covered at once. Being able to see all the displays and demon- strations made everything easier to understand. Hands on presentations like this are the best way to learn." At BD Loops, we pride our- selves on our commitment to edu- cating and improving the gate and door industry, and have been visit- ing distributor and manufacturer lo- cations to present our loop seminar saved installers lots of time and money when installing and trou- bleshooting loop systems, and for a short two hour investment of their time they are learning everything they need to know about loop sys- tems from the loop experts. Students walking away from our class feel confident installing and selling loops, all their questions are answered and they are able to build a relationship with a manu- facturer that will always be there to help. Learning how to properly in- stall loops and how to quickly di- agnose loop systems can potentially save installers thou- sands of dollars in material and labor costs. Loops shouldn't be the cause of your headaches, and we do our best to educate installers with that in mind.
