Diablo Controls AVI-100-R-LV Low Voltage, Single or Dual Code Receiver Vehicle
The Diablo Controls AVI-100-R-LV is a low-voltage Automatic Vehicle Identification receiver for coded vehicle access systems. It is used with compatible Diablo AVI transmitters mounted on authorized vehicles, allowing the access system to respond to the correct vehicle code rather than simply any vehicle over the loop.
This receiver is commonly used in secure or controlled vehicle environments such as emergency access, transit, shuttle bus lanes, trucking facilities, industrial plants, airport service routes, rail facilities, and gated residential or commercial entrances. The system can be set up for hands-free or manual operation depending on the transmitter and site design.
The LV suffix is important because it identifies the low-voltage power version. It should not be confused with the 117 VAC receiver or the AVI-100-RD receiver-with-detector version. Verify the existing cabinet power, code format, transmitter family, loop wiring, and whether a separate detector is required.
Compatible With
Compatibility depends on the detector model, supply voltage, loop or probe type, wiring base, relay output needs, and how the gate, door, barrier, parking, or access-control panel is designed to receive a vehicle-detect signal.
- Diablo AVI systems using compatible vehicle-mounted AVI transmitters
- AVI-X-1 single-code and AVI-X-2 dual-code transmitter applications when programmed to the receiver
- Low-voltage AVI receiver installations
- Gate operators, barrier gates, and access-control panels accepting a valid-code access signal
- Emergency vehicle, transit, shuttle, trucking, industrial, airport, rail, and controlled vehicle access systems
- AVI-100-R-LV replacements where code programming, power, and wiring match
- Not the same as AVI-100-R-117 line-voltage receiver or AVI-100-RD receiver with detector

Technician Note
Do not assume an AVI receiver is plug-and-play just because the model number is close. AVI code programming and site documentation are critical for restoring access after replacement.
Before Ordering
- Confirm the receiver is the low-voltage version.
- Confirm whether the system uses a separate detector or a receiver-with-detector model.
- Verify compatible AVI transmitters and code documentation.
- Confirm loop wiring and receiver input/output connections.
- Check the access-control panel input before reconnecting outputs.
Important Ordering Warning
AVI receivers control vehicle access but do not provide gate entrapment protection. Required photo eyes, safety edges, and monitored safety circuits must remain installed and functional.
Professional Advisory
Vehicle detector wiring is part of the gate, door, parking, or access-control safety and command circuit. Do not bypass monitored safety devices or use a detector to defeat required entrapment protection. For high-voltage wiring, cabinet faults, nuisance detection, or unsafe gate movement, use a qualified gate or access-control technician.
Product Questions and Answers
What does AVI-100-R-LV do?
It receives coded signals from compatible Diablo AVI transmitters and provides an access signal when the code is valid.
What does LV mean?
LV indicates the low-voltage receiver version. The site power must match this version.
Not directly. AVI-100-R-117 is the 117 VAC version and the power/wiring must match.
Only if the system does not require the integrated detector found in the RD model or if a separate compatible detector is installed.
Do transmitters need programming?
Yes. AVI system codes and transmitters must match the receiver and site documentation.
