Diablo Controls DML- 9LP Probe Kit Vehicle Loop Detector - 100ft
This row is written for the Diablo Controls DML-9LP 100 ft low-power free-exit probe kit family. It is a mini-loop probe detection package intended for gate and access-control installations where a vehicle needs to trigger an open command without cutting a full-size inductive loop in the pavement.
The DML-9LP detector is designed for solar-friendly, low-current operation and connects to Diablo's mini-loop/free-exit probe rather than a standard rectangular saw-cut loop. The probe is installed below the roadway surface and the lead-in is routed back to the control cabinet, reducing pavement cutting and helping in locations where standard loops are difficult to install.
This product is best suited for free-exit style applications. It should not be assumed to provide presence-mode hold-open behavior unless the specific detector and system design support the needed function. The uploaded mfgid uses DSP-9LP-Kit-100 wording, which appears to be a listing/search variation for a DML-9LP 100 ft probe kit; verify the stocked label.
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.
- Solar-powered gate operators and low-power access-control systems needing a free-exit input
- Diablo DML-9LP low-power detector and mini-loop/free-exit probe applications
- Driveways where a conventional saw-cut loop is difficult, undesirable, or exposed to pavement movement
- Dirt, gravel, cobblestone, poor pavement, bridge deck, or retrofit installations when installed per probe instructions
- Free-exit gate applications where pulse style vehicle detection is acceptable
- Related Diablo mini-loop/probe systems when the detector and cable length match
- Not a direct replacement for a standard presence loop detector or monitored safety device

Technician Note
Probe placement matters. The detector may be good, but poor probe location, nearby metal, shallow placement, or damaged lead-in can cause weak detection or nuisance calls.
Before Ordering
- Confirm the actual stocked part label and cable length.
- Confirm the job needs a free-exit probe, not a presence loop.
- Check whether the system is solar powered or low-current sensitive.
- Verify probe placement distance from the gate and nearby metal objects.
- Confirm the gate controller accepts the detector output as an open/free-exit command.
Important Ordering Warning
A free-exit probe is not a substitute for monitored entrapment protection. It should not be used to defeat photo eyes, safety edges, or other required safety devices.
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
Is this the same as a standard loop detector?
No. This kit uses Diablo mini-loop/free-exit probe technology and is installed differently from a full saw-cut inductive loop.
Why would I use a probe instead of a loop?
A probe can reduce pavement cutting and may be useful on gravel, poor pavement, bridge decks, or solar gate installations.
Can it be used on solar gates?
Yes, the DML-9LP family is commonly used for low-power solar gate applications.
Does this provide presence hold-open detection?
This type of kit is normally used for free-exit pulse detection. Presence requirements should be confirmed before ordering.
What should be verified before upload or purchase?
Verify the actual part label, whether the kit is DML-9LP, the lead length, and whether the installation needs free-exit or presence detection.
