The Diablo Controls PROBE-100 is the 100 ft free-exit probe only, used with compatible Diablo detector electronics to create a vehicle detection point below the driving surface. It is a good fit for installations where the detector module is located in a gate operator cabinet or access-control enclosure that is farther away from the vehicle sensing area. The longer lead length helps reach the cabinet without splicing or changing the planned detection location.
This probe belongs to Diablo Controls probe / mini-loop sensing family. It is not the same as a standard cut-in roadway loop and it is not a complete vehicle detector by itself. The probe must be connected to a detector model that supports Diablo probe operation. Once connected and configured, the detector can provide the output to a gate operator, access-control panel, parking system, or traffic-control input.
A 100 ft probe is commonly used for free-exit vehicle detection at automatic gates, but the installer still needs to confirm the application. Probe-based detection is different from monitored obstruction protection, and it should not be used to bypass required safety devices. Detection reliability depends on correct placement, road width, burial method, detector setup, and the type of vehicles expected at the site.

Use the 100 ft probe when the cabinet-to-detection-point distance requires the longer lead. Do not coil excess lead near noisy power wiring or assume a probe-only item includes detector electronics.
This listing is for the probe only. It does not include the DML-9LP, DSP-55, XLP-8, or other detector module.
For buried probe placement, detector troubleshooting, or gates with unsafe movement, have the installation reviewed by a qualified gate or access-control technician.
No. It is the 100 ft probe only and must be used with a compatible Diablo detector.
Common probe-capable Diablo families include DML-9LP, DSP-10, DSP-19, DSP-22-1, DSP-22-2, XLP-8, and DSP-55.
The 100 ft lead is used when the detector cabinet is farther from the sensing point than a shorter probe allows.
Yes, when connected to a compatible Diablo detector and wired to the correct free-exit input on the control system.
No. It is a vehicle detection probe and does not replace required monitored safety devices.
