The AES EL00PM-RAD Commercial Post-Mount eLoop Presence Mode Radar Vehicle Detector - Loop Only is an AES Global eLoop vehicle detection product for commercial post-mount presence mode vehicle detection with radar confirmation. It is designed for mounting to a suitable post, column, or structure with proper aiming and clearance and is commonly selected when a traditional saw-cut inductive loop is not practical or when a wireless detector is preferred for the site layout.
This is the Loop Only version. No eTrans transceiver is included with this loop-only version. Use it only where the correct compatible AES eLoop transceiver is already installed or ordered separately. Always match the eLoop sensor, transceiver, relay output, and gate operator input before ordering or replacing parts.
The EL00PM-RAD detects vehicles and communicates with compatible AES eLoop receiver-side equipment so the gate operator or access-control panel can receive the intended command. Depending on the model and setup, that command may be used for exit activation, presence logic, hold-open logic, or another approved vehicle-detection input.
The EL00PM-RAD may be used with select AES eLoop systems and gate operators where the mounting style, transceiver, relay output, and operator input match the application. Common fitment areas include:
Do not select this detector only by product family or by the word eLoop. AES eLoop models differ by detection mode, mounting method, battery service, transceiver package, relay output, and traffic application. A loop-only sensor is not a complete working kit unless the correct compatible transceiver is already installed or ordered separately.
Presence mode with radar can help with gate hold-open or access-control logic, but it must not be treated as the only safety protection on an automatic gate. Required monitored photo eyes, safety edges, emergency access, and other entrapment protection still need to be installed and working.

Before replacing an eLoop, check the whole signal path. A dead battery, poor calibration, weak antenna location, lost pairing, damaged transceiver, incorrect relay wiring, or wrong gate operator input can all look like a bad sensor. On commercial sites, also confirm the detector function before replacement because an exit detector, a presence detector, and a safety device do not serve the same job.
Install the detector according to the current AES instructions for the exact model and kit version. The transceiver should be powered from an approved low-voltage source and wired only to the proper gate operator or access-control input. Keep relay wiring separated from unsafe high-voltage work and confirm the intended input function before testing.
Do not stand in the gate path while testing vehicle detection. Do not bypass monitored safety inputs, photo eyes, safety edges, emergency access, fire access, or gate operator safety circuits to make a detector appear to work. If the control wiring, input function, or safety behavior is unclear, use a qualified gate or access-control technician.
AES eLoop products are useful when installed in the correct location with the correct transceiver and relay output. They are not universal sensors. For commercial lanes, gated communities, parking areas, and South Florida access-control sites, confirm traffic direction, detection mode, vehicle type, mounting surface, wireless range, and future service access before final installation.
It may be correct if your application matches presence mode with radar operation, the mounting style is post-mounted commercial loop, and your gate operator can accept the relay output from the compatible AES eTrans equipment. Confirm the operator input, wiring function, and transceiver requirement before ordering.
The EL00PM-RAD version should be treated as the loop sensor only unless the current listing states otherwise. A compatible AES eTrans transceiver is normally required separately for the loop to communicate with the gate operator.
No. AES eLoop products are vehicle detection and access-control devices and should not be used as the sole safety device. Keep required monitored photo eyes, safety edges, entrapment protection, warning devices, fire access, and emergency access equipment installed and working.
This EL00PM-RAD model is the post-mount presence/radar style. It is not the same as the surface EL00C-RAD, in-ground EL00IG-RAD, or domestic mini EL00M exit-only detector.
Loop-only versions require a compatible AES eTrans receiver-side device to provide the relay output to the gate operator. Choose the transceiver by relay count, device capacity, display/setup needs, range, and wiring requirements.
Check the battery, eLoop calibration, transceiver power, coding/pairing, relay wiring, operator input, antenna position, distance, and site interference. If the operator wiring or safety circuit is unclear, have a qualified gate or access-control technician inspect the system.
It may replace a wired loop in select applications where wireless range, mounting location, relay function, and gate operator input are suitable. It is not a direct replacement for every saw-cut loop, plug-in detector, or safety loop setup.
