WORLD FENCE NEWS • APRIL 2012 • 69 Electronic Entry Distributors hosts "Everything You Need to Know about Loops" On February 22, Electronic Entry Distributors (EED) in Gardena, Cali- fornia hosted BD Loops's seminar "Everything You Need to Know About Loops." The educational seminar cov- ers topics such as loop size and place- ment, loops in parallel and series, loop phasing, how to make more money in- stalling loops, time saving tricks and techniques, and how to properly diag- nose a faulty loop system, and was hosted by BD Loops general manager Brian Dickson. The turnout for the event was sub- stantial, with installers coming in from all over Southern California to learn about loops. "I've been to a lot of seminars, and at this one you actually focus on learn- ing. We took away more than we usu- ally do," said a representative from Quality Garage Door Co. "I liked the presentation, it wasn't pushy. You weren't just trying to sell products. It wasn't biased; I learned pros and cons for different solutions." W.

Oscar Gar- cia from Garcia's Iron Works added, "The presentation was very helpful; I learned a few valuable techniques, es- pecially with phasing. Knowing phas- ing will really help me out." BD Loops has been visiting dis- tributor and manufacturer locations to present their loop seminar for over four years. "We feel our loop class has saved installers lots of time and money when installing and troubleshooting loop systems," said Dickson. "For a short two hour investment of their time, they are learning every- thing they need to know about loop systems. Students walking away from our class feel confident installing and selling loops. Learning how to prop- erly install loops and how to quickly diagnose loop systems can potentially save installers thousands of dollars in material and labor costs. Loops shouldn't be the cause of your headaches, and we do our best to edu- cate installers with that in mind," he said.
