The OVS-01GT from OPTEX is designed to reliably detect the presence of a stationary or moving vehicle while also having the ability to ignore most human traffic. It also eliminates the hassles associated with the installation of a ground loop. No more concrete cutting required. The OVS-01GT can be mounted 2 to 3 feet off the ground and can detect both small and large vehicles.
Key Features
- Vehicle Virtual Loop
- For moving or stationary vehicles, ignores human traffic
- Installs above ground, no concrete cutting required
- Connect directly to operator
The OVS-01GT is designed to detect the presence of a vehicle. In applications for gates and barrier arms, it is installed above ground and near the gate operator. It can be mounted on a pole or post. Its detection area can be customized with 8 range settings, 5 sensitivity settings and one-touch calibration. In security gate applications, it is important that the sensor only detect vehicles and ignore human movement. The OVS-01GT has 5 selectable menu setting options to ignore human movement
Microwave detection patterns (blue above) are adjustable from 6.56 to 18.04 feet. The Ultrasonic Sensor is for close range detection (purple). The OVS-01GT also features 5 sensitivity settings.
With the OVS-01GT there is no need to stop traffic through the driveway during installation. It mounts quickly, easily and wires directly to the gate operator. No additional loop detector is required. No need for special programmers. A simple to use menu with visual indicators provides a simple and quick installation.
The OVS Vehicle Presence Sensor Series from OPTEX is designed to reliably detect the presence of a stationary or moving vehicle while also having the ability to ignore most human traffic. It eliminates the hassles associated with the installation of a ground loop, omitting the need for concrete cutting. With 8 adjustable microwave and ultrasonic (for OVS-01GT) detection pattern settings to customize the detection area, 5 sensitivity settings to ignore human movements, and one-touch calibration, the OVS-01GT can reliably detect both small and large vehicles for a multitude of applications.
The OVS-01GT can be mounted and installed quickly without impeding traffic flow, and wires directly to the operator without the need for any additional loop detectors or special programmers. A simple-to-use menu with visual indicators aids in an easy and fast installation process. Once mounted, the OVS-01GT also allows for full adjustment without the need for lifts or ladders.
