Wireless Vehicle Detectors
Wireless vehicle detectors are a fantastic way to allow passage through a gate or detect the presence of a vehicle without going through the hassle of cutting into concrete to install underground loop detectors. These surface-mounted detectors wire directly to the opener without the hassle of ground loops. Most wireless vehicle detectors can ignore pedestrian traffic and detect only vehicles. This is ideal for security gates, parking lots, banks, and pharmacies where only vehicular traffic should be detected. A pedestrian walking through the sensor's path should not trigger a vehicle presence.
Most wireless vehicle detectors have multiple settings where the user can adjust the sensitivity. Calibrate the sensitivity for both pedestrians and the range vehicles will travel. Wireless vehicle detectors operate at the ultrasonic frequency of 56 kHz. They also use a microwave frequency of 24 GHz, also known as the K-Band frequency. The microwave frequency can reach up to 18 ft. (5.5 m), while the ultrasonic extends to 3 ft. (1 m).
< p> Installing wireless vehicle detectors requires no trained professionals. The non-invasive setup keeps traffic uninterrupted, allowing normal flow during installation. Sensitivity calibration takes just one touch, and the vehicle detectors show visual indicators for easy setup. Mounting can be done in minutes on a mini post. The post has pre-drilled holes allowing for instant installation with the included screws with the vehicle sensor.
Wireless vehicle detectors come in a variety of shapes and sizes. The best option depends on how you plan to use it. For example, you might choose the Hercules motion detector for industrial applications, where you can mount it above a garage door. Another example is the OVS vehicle presence sensor, used for a sliding gate system where you have room to install the detector horizontally to vehicle traffic. Check out our wide range of vehicle detectors to get the most out of your gate opener system. Be sure always to follow the safety standards of the gate opener industry.
