Genie GE-113394.0001.S EMX VMD202-150 Vehicle Motion Detector
The Genie GE-113394.0001.S is the Genie-listed VMD202-150 vehicle motion detector/free-exit probe for select Genie gate operator applications. The VMD202-150 is commonly associated with the EMX VMD202 vehicle motion detector family and is used where a direct-burial driveway probe with a 150 ft lead is required.
This is a moving-vehicle detection probe assembly, not a vehicle presence detector. It should not be used as a reversing loop, shadow loop, monitored photo eye, safety edge, or required entrapment-protection device. Match this part by exact part number, lead length, operator accessory list, wiring requirement, and site layout before ordering.
Primary Use
- Vehicle motion detector/free-exit probe for select Genie gate operator installations
- Used to detect a moving vehicle approaching the gate from inside the property where free-exit operation is desired
- Direct-burial probe style detector with 150 ft lead length where VMD202-150 is specified
- Useful where saw-cut loop installation is not preferred and the site supports probe-style moving-vehicle detection
- Service replacement where the original accessory is marked, ordered, or cross-referenced as GE-113394.0001.S, 113394.0001.S, or VMD202-150
Compatible With
Use this detector only where the installed operator, accessory chart, or project documentation confirms the VMD202-150 / 113394.0001.S as the correct vehicle motion detector. Do not assume it fits every Genie gate operator or every gate control input.
- Select Genie gate operators where the accessory list shows Vehicle Motion Detector, VMD202-150, part number 113394.0001.S
- Select Genie residential and commercial gate operator applications where a compatible free-exit input is available
- Applications requiring a VMD202 probe with 150 ft lead length
- Driveway layouts where a moving-vehicle probe can be installed far enough from the moving gate and other metal movement
- Systems where the relay output, power source, wiring distance, and input behavior match the operator documentation
- Installations where a VMD202-R sensitivity remote is available or ordered separately if adjustment is required

Important Comparison With Similar Vehicle Detection Parts
Genie and EMX vehicle detection accessories can be easy to confuse because probes, loop detectors, loop racks, and sensitivity remotes are often used on the same gate systems. Confirm the exact part and function before ordering.
- GE-113394.0001.S / 113394.0001.S: Genie-listed VMD202-150 vehicle motion detector/free-exit probe with 150 ft lead.
- VMD202-150: Vehicle motion detector probe assembly. This is the detector probe, not the sensitivity remote.
- GE-113395.0001.S / VMD202-R: Sensitivity remote used to set up or adjust the VMD202 detector. This is related but not the same part.
- GE-113393.0001.S / ULTRA-PLG: Plug-in vehicle loop detector module. This uses a driveway loop and is not the same as the VMD202 probe.
- GE-113469.0001.S: Loop rack PCB assembly. This is the rack for plug-in loop detectors, not the VMD202 probe.
- VMD202-50 and VMD202-100: Related VMD202 probe versions with shorter lead lengths. They are not the same as the 150 ft lead version when cable length is critical.
- Photo eyes and safety edges: Monitored entrapment-protection devices that are not replaced by a vehicle motion detector.
- Reversing loop or presence loop: Not the same function. The VMD202 detects moving vehicles and should not be used as a true presence detector.

Technician Notes
- Confirm the job needs the 150 ft lead version before ordering. If the run is shorter, the 50 ft or 100 ft version may be a different item; if the run is longer, special lead lengths may be required.
- The VMD202 detects moving ferrous metal. It will not reliably detect a stationary vehicle, and it should not be used as a gate safety presence detector.
- Probe placement is critical. A probe installed too close to a moving gate, metal fence, drainage grate, road traffic, or other moving metal can false-trigger.
- The probe must remain stationary after burial. Loose mounting, shifting soil, unstable conduit, or vibration can cause unreliable detection.
- If the gate does not open from the exit probe, check power, relay wiring, operator input assignment, cable damage, sensitivity setting, probe location, and whether the VMD202-R remote is needed for adjustment.
- If the gate opens too early or false-triggers, reduce sensitivity only after checking nearby moving metal, gate movement, road traffic, wire routing, grounding, and probe placement.
- Do not use the VMD202-150 as a substitute for monitored photo eyes, monitored safety edges, reversing loops, shadow loops, or required entrapment protection.
- For solar gate systems, confirm standby current, accessory load, battery capacity, and charge source before adding vehicle detection accessories.
Before Ordering Checklist
- Confirm the exact part number is GE-113394.0001.S or 113394.0001.S.
- Confirm the detector model needed is VMD202-150.
- Confirm the installed Genie operator or project documentation lists VMD202-150 as a supported vehicle motion detector accessory.
- Confirm the 150 ft lead length is correct for the installation.
- Confirm whether the VMD202-R sensitivity remote is required and whether it is included or must be ordered separately.
- Confirm the detector is being used for moving-vehicle free-exit detection, not safety reversing or vehicle presence detection.
- Confirm the gate operator input, power source, relay wiring, conduit path, burial location, and probe location before ordering.
- Inspect the existing probe cable, splices, conduit, power, grounding, operator input, and nearby moving metal before replacing only the probe.
- Confirm whether conduit, splice kits, mounting accessories, sensitivity remote, instructions, or additional wire are included.
Professional Advisory
The VMD202-150 vehicle motion detector may be connected to gate operator inputs, free-exit circuits, access control systems, security panels, or low-voltage control wiring. Incorrect placement or wiring can cause false openings, missed detection, or unsafe gate behavior. Installation and troubleshooting should be handled by a qualified gate or access control technician when the system includes monitored safety devices, fire access equipment, solar power, unknown prior modifications, or recurring false activations. Do not bypass monitored photo eyes, safety edges, reversing loops, inherent entrapment protection, fuses, grounding, or operator control protections.
Product Q&A
What is Genie GE-113394.0001.S used for?
Genie GE-113394.0001.S is the Genie-listed VMD202-150 vehicle motion detector/free-exit probe used with select Genie gate operators where the accessory documentation confirms this part.
Is GE-113394.0001.S the same as VMD202-150?
Yes. GE-113394.0001.S is commonly listed by Genie as Vehicle Motion Detector, VMD202-150. Confirm the operator accessory list and supplier package before ordering.
Does this include the VMD202-R sensitivity remote?
Do not assume the VMD202-R sensitivity remote is included. Genie lists the VMD202-R as a separate setup remote under part number 113395.0001.S unless the supplier package specifically includes it.
Is the VMD202-150 a loop detector?
No. The VMD202-150 is a vehicle motion detector probe. A plug-in loop detector, such as ULTRA-PLG, uses an in-ground loop and is a different type of vehicle detection device.
Can the VMD202-150 detect a stopped vehicle?
No. The VMD202 is designed to detect moving vehicles. It should not be used as a vehicle presence detector, reversing loop, shadow loop, or monitored gate safety device.
What lead length does VMD202-150 refer to?
VMD202-150 refers to the 150 ft lead version of the VMD202 vehicle motion detector. Confirm the required cable length before ordering because VMD202-50 and VMD202-100 are different lead-length versions.
What should I check before replacing a VMD202-150 detector?
Check power, relay wiring, operator input assignment, probe location, cable damage, grounding, nearby moving metal, sensitivity setting, and whether the VMD202-R remote is needed before replacing the detector.
