BEA 10ELH EVOLOOP Anti-Vandal Housing Compatibility Details
The BEA 10ELH is a metal anti-vandalism housing accessory for the BEA 10EVOLOOP virtual loop sensor. It provides an additional protective enclosure around the compatible sensor assembly in automatic barrier installations where the equipment may be exposed to routine contact, unauthorized handling, or physical damage.
This accessory does not perform vehicle detection and does not contain radar electronics, relay outputs, Bluetooth programming components, or wiring. The complete 10EVOLOOP sensor is sold separately.
What This Housing Does
The 10ELH surrounds and protects the exterior of the compatible EVOLOOP sensor while leaving the required sensing area available for normal operation. It is intended to provide more physical protection than the standard sensor housing alone.
The term anti-vandalism describes the manufacturer's intended accessory function. It should not be treated as completely vandal-proof, impact-proof, or tamper-proof under every installation condition.
Compatible With
- BEA 10EVOLOOP virtual loop sensor
- Select automatic barrier installations using the matching EVOLOOP sensor housing and mounting system
- EVOLOOP applications where added exterior sensor protection is required
Important Compatibility Warning
Confirm the complete sensor part number before ordering. The 10ELH is specifically identified for the BEA EVOLOOP family and should not be assumed to fit other BEA radar sensors, laser scanners, photo eyes, loop detectors, or barrier accessories.
The 10ELH is the housing accessory only. It does not include the separate 10ELB mounting bracket. For an installation requiring both a bracket and protective housing, verify whether the BEA 10ELHB combined bracket-and-housing accessory is the correct part.

Before Ordering Checklist
- Confirm that the installed sensor is a BEA 10EVOLOOP.
- Determine whether the installation requires a housing only or a bracket and housing.
- Do not order the 10ELH when the 10ELHB combined accessory is required.
- Inspect the EVOLOOP sensor, mounting base, cable, and connector for damage.
- Confirm that the housing will not interfere with the barrier cabinet or moving arm.
- Verify that the sensor can remain within its approved mounting-height range.
- Check whether suitable mounting fasteners are available.
- Verify current package contents before beginning installation.
Installation and Service Notes
Install the housing according to the current BEA EVOLOOP instructions and accessory arrangement. Do not drill, bend, weld, or modify the housing in a way that could block the radar field, cover the sensor indicators, damage the wiring harness, or prevent access for service.
Keep the front sensing area clean and unobstructed. Nearby metal plates, cabinet corners, signs, bollards, or improvised guards can mask part of the radar field and cause unreliable detection.
After installation, confirm that the housing and sensor are securely mounted and cannot vibrate or move during barrier operation. Check the cable route for sharp edges, pinch points, water entry, and contact with the moving barrier mechanism.
Technician Note
A damaged or missing housing may indicate that the sensor assembly has been struck. Inspect the EVOLOOP base, connector, harness, housing, sensor angle, and barrier cabinet before replacing only the protective accessory.
If the sensor position or angle changes during installation, repeat the applicable EVOLOOP teach-in. Test every programmed virtual loop with vehicles of different sizes before returning the barrier to normal service.
Professional Advisory
The 10ELH does not change EVOLOOP wiring, programming, output logic, environmental rating, or safety-device approval. It also does not replace required barrier photo eyes, monitored protection devices, safety edges, warning devices, or emergency access equipment.
Barrier sensor mounting, wiring, output programming, teach-in, 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 10ELH housing?
The 10ELH is designed as a metal anti-vandalism housing accessory for the BEA 10EVOLOOP virtual loop sensor.
Is the BEA 10EVOLOOP sensor included with the 10ELH?
No. The 10ELH is the housing accessory only. The EVOLOOP sensor, mounting base, cable harness, and barrier equipment are sold separately unless specifically stated.
Does the 10ELH include the BEA 10ELB mounting bracket?
No. The 10ELH is the housing only. The 10ELB is the separate bracket accessory, while the 10ELHB combines a bracket and housing.
What is the difference between the 10ELH and 10ELPC?
The 10ELH is an anti-vandalism housing accessory, while the 10ELPC is a metal protective cover. They provide different styles of protection and should not be treated as the same part.
When should the BEA 10ELHB be ordered instead of the 10ELH?
The 10ELHB should be considered when the installation requires both a mounting bracket and a protective housing. The 10ELH provides the housing function without the separate bracket.
Are mounting screws included with the BEA 10ELH?
Exact fastener contents are not fully identified in current public BEA documentation. Verify the packaged contents and provide suitable mounting hardware when required.
Can the 10ELH be used with other BEA radar sensors?
Compatibility should not be assumed. The 10ELH is specifically identified for the EVOLOOP sensor family, and other sensors may have different dimensions, mounting points, and detection-field requirements.
Does EVOLOOP require a new teach-in after installing the housing?
A new teach-in may not be required when the sensor remains in the same position and angle. Complete a functional test and repeat the applicable teach-in if the sensor moved or its detection field changed during service.
