- Three axis sensing improves accuracy in varied mounting positions
- Detect On Stop ignores cross traffic in confined spaces
- Works above or below ground with loop free installation
- Relay and NPN outputs support flexible system integration
Employs advanced 3-axis magnetoresistive sensing technology for accurate vehicle presence detection by monitoring changes in the Earth's magnetic field.
Features DETECT-ON-STOP™ technology to ignore cross traffic and only detect vehicles when fully stopped, ideal for tight access areas.
Offers three-dimensional detection with independent X, Y, and Z axis selection for increased accuracy and application flexibility.
Includes ULTRAMETER™ sensitivity display for quick and precise setup, eliminating crosstalk interference between detectors.
Compact, loop-less design significantly reduces installation costs compared to traditional inductive loop systems.
Sensor stores ambient background and configuration settings in non-volatile memory to retain settings after power loss.
Equipped with a standalone sensor and optional remote control module for programming and relay output expansion.
Optional Logic Interface enables extended detection range or directional vehicle detection through AB logic functionality.
Supports pulse or constant presence output modes for integration with various gate and access control systems.
Control unit and sensor are reverse polarity and fuse protected, ensuring reliable operation in rugged environments.
Rated for extreme temperatures (-40°F to 180°F) and includes IP30/IP69K-rated enclosures for versatile indoor and outdoor use.
Direct burial and flat pack sensor variants are available with 50 ft or 100 ft lead lengths to suit different installation needs.
Low power consumption with sensor drawing only 10 mA and controller operating at 12-30 VDC or 24 VAC input.
LED indicators on the control unit and logic interface provide visual confirmation of power, detection, and fault status.
Designed for vehicle detection applications where traditional loop detectors are not feasible, offering a non-invasive alternative.
