Understanding the Eagle EG172 Loop Detector
"For automated gate systems requiring reliable vehicle detection, the Eagle EG172 Loop Detector offers a robust and effective solution. This single-channel loop detector is designed to sense the presence of vehicles passing over an inductive loop buried beneath the driveway or roadway, triggering the gate to open or remain open for safe passage.
How Loop Detectors Work:
A loop detector functions by sending an electrical current through a wire loop buried in the ground. When a metallic object, such as a vehicle, passes over the loop, it changes the inductance of the loop. The EG172 detector senses this change and sends a signal to the gate operator to perform a pre-programmed action, typically opening the gate.
Key Features of the Eagle EG172:
- Single-Channel Operation: Designed to monitor one inductive loop.
- Adjustable Sensitivity: Allows you to fine-tune the detection level to accommodate different vehicle sizes and environmental conditions, minimizing false triggers.
- Multiple Output Modes: Offers various output modes to integrate seamlessly with different gate operator systems and control requirements (e.g., pulse on entry, presence output).
- Automatic Tuning: The detector automatically tunes to the installed loop upon power-up, simplifying the setup process.
- Durable Housing: Typically housed in a robust enclosure suitable for mounting in outdoor environments.
- Reliable Vehicle Detection: Provides accurate and dependable detection of vehicles, ensuring smooth and efficient gate operation.
- Prevents Gate Closure on Vehicles: A primary safety feature, preventing the gate from closing on a vehicle passing through.
- Can Trigger Gate Opening: Can be used as the primary trigger for a gate to open upon vehicle approach.
