Vehicle sensors
Road sensor options


All these technologies are primarily vehicle sensors. They are not intended to detect people or animals, so may not be considered as safety devices.
Loop detectors
Traditional road loops are multiple loops of wire laid in the wearing surface of the road. A detector module is connected to the loop. Vehicles entering the sensing area trigger the detector circuit. Detectors that remain activated while the vehicle remains may be considered for presence duty.
Single Point Vehicle Sensors
New devices now involve a single sensor set in the road wearing surface. The area of detection is defined by the sensitivity it is set to. Single point sensors are much quicker to install. Used ainly for activation, not presence.
Roadside Vehicle Sensors
Sensors set off the road are simple to install, but less able to discern vehicles from other moving and stationary objects in the road.


Loop Detectors


Loops can be cut into solid road surfaces. Any breakup of the surface will tear the loop so be sure the surface is sound. The filler material should suit the road material. Loops can be pre-made in poly' pipe for burying in gravel drives.

Single point exit sensors
Loops can be cut into solid road surfaces. Any breakup of the surface will tear the loop so be sure the surface is sound. The filler material should suit the road material. Loops can be pre-made in poly' pipe for burying in gravel drives.

VD909 - 'Dynamite' Mini-Loop Vehicle Sensor/DetectorOur Price £163.20 £136.00 Regular Price £204.00
The VD909 'Dynamite' vehicle loop detector is an absolute favorite for an EXIT sensor / Loop detector that requires no loops to be cut and is self setting, so takes a quarter of the time to install than the traditional loop detectors.
-
VD961A - 'MagnaPulse' Free Exit Magnetometer Vehicle DetectorOur Price £142.08 £118.40 Regular Price £177.60
The VD961A, known as the Magna Sensor, is of a new generation of electronic sensors which do the job of a loop detector, except better and more reliably. The Magna sensor recognizes vehicles by the ferrous content of the car. Unlike ordinary loop detectors, the sensor adjusts for most drainage and access covers.
-
VD959 - 'Dynamite' Adjustable Mini-Loop Vehicle Sensor/DetectorOur Price £206.40 £172.00 Regular Price £258.00
The VD959 'Dynamite' Adjustable vehicle loop detector is an absolute favorite for an EXIT sensor / Loop detector that requires no loops to be cut and is self setting, so takes a quarter of the time to install than the traditional loop detectors.
-
VD963A - 'MagnaPresence' Safety/Presence Magnetometer Vehicle DetectorOur Price £142.08 £118.40 Regular Price £177.60
The VD963A, known as the Magna Sensor, is of a new generation of electronic sensors which do the job of a loop detector, except better and more reliably. The Magna sensor recognizes vehicles by the ferrous content of the car. Unlike ordinary loop detectors, the sensor adjusts for most drainage and access covers.

VD907 - Vehicle Loop Detector - Fail SafeOur Price £86.40 £72.00 Regular Price £108.00
The VD907 vehicle loop detector allows "free passage" of vehicles passing overhead. These units are an installer favourite due to their small size and being self setting it's easy to install.
-
VD906 - Vehicle Loop Detector - Fail SecureOur Price £86.40 £72.00 Regular Price £108.00
The VD906 vehicle loop detector allows "free passage" of vehicles passing overhead. These units are an installer favourite due to their small size and being self setting it's easy to install.
-
VD955 - Adjustable Vehicle Loop Detector with interfaceOur Price £129.60 £108.00 Regular Price £162.00
The VD955 can be used as either a safety loop or free exit probe detector. It should not be used as a safety loop if used with a Free Exit Probe.
The VD955 includes a VD.CI Interface board, to work with most gate automation control panels.
- 10-30V ac/dc
- Selectable for full loop or exit sensor
- Selectable fail safe (presence) or fail secure (exit)
- 10 sensitivities
- 4 frequencies
- Contact closure/opening time delay
-
VD.CI interface for Diablo cardsOur Price £22.08 £18.40 Regular Price £27.60
The VD.CI is designed to accept a plug-in vehicle detector on one side and accept the appropriate wires through the terminal block on the other. This device is designed for detectors that have a solid state output but need a single relay output.
For use with: VD940, VD955, VD913
