The AES Global EL00C-V4 e-LOOP Commercial V4 is a surface-mounted wireless vehicle detection sensor designed for busy commercial and industrial gate applications. It provides an alternative to cutting a traditional inductive loop into the driveway by placing the detector directly on a suitable finished road surface and transmitting vehicle detection wirelessly to a compatible AES e-TRANS receiver or transceiver at the gate operator.
The Commercial V4 combines Exit, Presence, and Parking operation into one detector. This is an important change from earlier e-LOOP commercial generations where model selection depended more heavily on whether Exit Mode or radar-supported Presence Mode was required.
The EL00C-V4 senses changes associated with a vehicle entering its detection area and sends that information wirelessly to a compatible AES e-TRANS device. The e-TRANS then provides the relay interface used by a compatible gate or barrier control system.
Depending on the selected operating mode, the detector can be used to generate an exit trigger or provide vehicle-presence operation for suitable access-control applications.
The V4 Commercial e-LOOP supports three selectable operating modes:
Operating mode can be changed using the detector's magnetic setup controls or through the e-LOOP Connect smartphone app.
Presence Mode is a vehicle-detection function and must not be treated as a stand-alone pedestrian or personal entrapment protection device. AES specifically warns against using Presence Mode as a personal safety function.
Automatic gates must retain all required monitored photo eyes, safety edges, entrapment protection, emergency access equipment, and other safety devices required for the specific gate operator and installation. Never bypass a required gate safety device because an e-LOOP is installed.

The EL00C-V4 detector and the EL00C-V4-KIT should not be treated as the same package.
If the gate installation does not already have compatible receiving equipment, confirm whether the detector-only version or complete V4 kit is required before ordering.
The e-LOOP itself does not provide a hardwired gate operator relay at the driveway. It transmits wirelessly to a compatible AES e-TRANS receiver/transceiver located near the gate controller.
The current EL00C-V4-KIT is paired with the e-Trans 50-V4. The V4 e-Trans 50 provides N.O., COM, and N.C. relay terminals and operates from 12-24V AC/DC. Because V4 introduces a revised radio protocol and replay-attack protection, confirm receiver generation before pairing a new V4 detector with older installed e-TRANS hardware.
The V4 detector can be accessed using the e-LOOP Connect mobile application for supported Android and iPhone devices. The app provides access to advanced settings, diagnostics, and operating-mode configuration.
The detector can still be paired, calibrated, and configured through its magnetic setup points where supported, so basic setup is not dependent entirely on the mobile app.
The e-LOOP should be secured to a clean, flat, level surface in the vehicle path according to AES fitment instructions. The detector should be positioned centrally in the area most frequently driven by vehicles while avoiding unnecessary direct wheel traffic where practical.
Do not mount the detector directly beside high-voltage cables or other sources of strong electromagnetic interference because this can affect magnetic vehicle detection.
If a calibrated detector is physically moved, it must be recalibrated according to AES instructions.
Do not automatically replace an older EL00C or EL00C-RAD by part number alone without checking the installed e-TRANS receiver. V4 combines functions that were handled differently on earlier versions and introduces a revised radio protocol. Matching the loop generation and receiver generation before ordering avoids pairing and commissioning problems.
EL00C is the established AES Commercial e-LOOP product designation, while current Version 4 documentation and distributor listings also identify the updated detector as EL00C-V4. Confirm the label or purchasing SKU on the actual product before ordering a replacement.
The EL00C-V4 detector-only product should not be assumed to include an e-Trans receiver. The separate EL00C-V4-KIT is the package commonly listed with the Commercial V4 detector and e-Trans 50-V4 transceiver.
The EL00C-V4 combines Exit, Presence, and Parking modes in one detector. The mode can be configured through the detector setup controls or the e-LOOP Connect app.
No. AES specifically warns that Presence Mode is not a personal safety function. Required monitored photo eyes, safety edges, entrapment protection, and other gate safety devices must remain installed and operational.
Current V4 specifications identify four 3.6V 2700mA lithium battery cells, providing approximately 10,800mA combined capacity. AES publishes battery life up to approximately 10 years in Exit Mode, but actual service life depends on traffic, operating mode, radar settings, activations, and environmental conditions.
Yes. The Commercial EL00C-V4 is an above-ground surface-mounted detector. It should be securely installed on a clean, flat, level surface in the vehicle path according to AES fitment instructions.
The current complete EL00C-V4-KIT uses an e-Trans 50-V4 transceiver. If an older e-TRANS is already installed, confirm its generation and compatibility before ordering because V4 introduces an updated radio protocol and security features.
Yes. The V4 detector supports the e-LOOP Connect mobile app for advanced settings and diagnostics. Local pairing, calibration, and mode functions are also available through the detector's magnetic setup controls.
