BEA 10ELB EVOLOOP Bracket Compatibility and Mounting Details
The BEA 10ELB is a metal mounting bracket accessory developed for the BEA 10EVOLOOP virtual loop sensor. It provides an alternate support and mounting surface when the standard EVOLOOP base cannot be conveniently attached directly to an automatic barrier control cabinet.
The bracket helps position the EVOLOOP beside the barrier cabinet while maintaining the sensor alignment required for its radar detection field. The sensor must be installed so the cabinet, barrier structure, nearby metal, and other equipment do not obstruct the front of the sensor.
What This Bracket Does
The 10ELB supports the separately purchased EVOLOOP sensor and mounting base. It may be useful on barrier cabinets with limited flat mounting space, unusual cabinet geometry, protruding covers, or locations where the sensor needs to be offset from the cabinet surface.
This is a mechanical mounting accessory only. It does not contain radar electronics, outputs, wiring, relays, Bluetooth components, or programmable controls.
Compatible With
- BEA 10EVOLOOP virtual loop sensor
- Select automatic barrier installations using the BEA EVOLOOP mounting system
- EVOLOOP applications where the sensor base cannot be mounted directly to the barrier control box
Important Compatibility Warning
Confirm that the installed sensor is a BEA 10EVOLOOP before ordering. The 10ELB should not be assumed compatible with other BEA radar sensors, laser scanners, photo eyes, loop detectors, or access-control devices.
The bracket does not include the EVOLOOP sensor or automatically provide a complete protective enclosure. BEA offers separate protective-cover, housing, and combined bracket-and-housing accessories that serve different purposes.

Before Ordering Checklist
- Confirm that the installed sensor is a BEA 10EVOLOOP.
- Verify that a bracket is required instead of a protective cover or full housing.
- Check the barrier cabinet shape and available mounting clearance.
- Confirm that the bracket will position the sensor within the approved mounting-height range.
- Make sure the barrier cabinet will not obstruct the radar detection field.
- Verify that the existing EVOLOOP base is present and serviceable.
- Inspect the cable route and confirm the harness can reach the barrier controller.
- Check whether suitable mounting screws, washers, or cabinet hardware are available.
- Verify current package contents before beginning installation.
Installation and Positioning Notes
BEA instructs installers to mount the EVOLOOP base directly to the barrier control box or use the separately sold bracket accessory. When the 10ELB is used, the sensor should remain aligned with the control box so the cabinet does not mask or obstruct the detection field.
The EVOLOOP is normally mounted as low as practical within its approved mounting range. For protection or collision-reduction applications, sensor position relative to the barrier arm must also follow the current EVOLOOP instructions.
Fasten the bracket to a rigid surface and confirm that it cannot vibrate, twist, or move during barrier operation. Route the sensor cable so it is protected from sharp edges, moving parts, water intrusion, and vehicle contact.
Technician Note
The bracket changes the physical mounting arrangement, so the sensor position and radar field should be checked after installation. Nearby metal, cabinet corners, signs, bollards, and barrier hardware can mask part of the field or cause an incorrect teach-in.
After installing or repositioning the EVOLOOP, complete the required teach-in and test every programmed detection zone with appropriate vehicles before returning the barrier to service.
Professional Advisory
The 10ELB does not perform vehicle detection and does not replace required barrier safety devices. Never bypass photo eyes, safety edges, monitored inputs, emergency access equipment, warning devices, or other required protection circuits.
Barrier sensor mounting, wiring, teach-in, output assignment, and safety testing should be completed by a qualified gate or access-control technician.
Product Questions and Answers
Which sensor is compatible with the BEA 10ELB bracket?
The 10ELB is designed as a metal bracket accessory for the BEA 10EVOLOOP virtual loop sensor used with automatic barrier systems.
Is the BEA 10EVOLOOP sensor included with the 10ELB?
No. Article 10ELB is the bracket accessory only. The EVOLOOP sensor, base, wiring harness, protective cover, and barrier equipment are sold separately unless specifically stated.
When would the 10ELB bracket be used?
It may be used when the EVOLOOP base cannot be conveniently mounted directly to the barrier control cabinet or when the sensor needs additional clearance from the cabinet surface.
Is the 10ELB the same as the BEA 10ELHB?
No. The 10ELB is the bracket accessory, while the 10ELHB combines a bracket with a metal housing. Verify whether mounting support, enclosure protection, or both are required.
Does the 10ELB include a protective cover or anti-vandal housing?
No. The related 10ELPC is a metal protective cover, and the 10ELH is an anti-vandal housing. Those parts have different functions and are not automatically included with the 10ELB.
Does the standard EVOLOOP base mount to the 10ELB bracket?
The EVOLOOP instructions identify the 10ELB as the alternate bracket accessory used when mounting the sensor base instead of attaching it directly to the control box. Verify that the existing base is present and undamaged.
Are mounting screws included with the BEA 10ELB?
Exact bracket fastener contents are not fully confirmed in current public BEA documentation. Verify the package and provide suitable hardware for the barrier cabinet or mounting surface.
Does the EVOLOOP need to be programmed again after installing the bracket?
Yes, when the bracket changes the sensor position or angle, complete the applicable EVOLOOP teach-in and test all configured detection zones before returning the barrier to normal operation.
