PRODUCT FEATURES & BENEFITS

Dual channel loop detectors are used to identify the presence of vehicles by means of two independent inductive loops buried under the road and can be used in almost any application.

Detectors are available in both boxed and PCB format.

Dual channel detectors also can be used as an alternative to two single channel detectors to eliminate any presence of crosstalk.

In addition, they feature A-B logic to detect the direction of vehicles crossing the loops.

All detectors are CE tested and approved. A compact detector diagnostic unit is available for extracting data from new and existing sites.


features

  • Compact size
  • Flexibility – User selectable functions
  • Diagnostic capabilities (when used with a DU100) 
  • Selectable permanent presence (to eliminate premature barrier/gate closure)
  • Loop isolation protection
  • Loop frequency indication (to eliminate interference with adjacent loops)
  • Automatic sensitivity boost (ASB) – for reliable detection of high-bed vehicles (e.g. lorries)
  • A-B Logic – for different outputs depending on the vehicle direction
  • Visual fault monitor
