Description
The Cartell CP4 Free Exit System with 200 ft cable is a professional-grade vehicle detection solution engineered to provide dependable hands-free exit control for automatic gate operators. Utilizing advanced magnetometer technology, the CP4 detects moving metal vehicles and triggers gate opening without requiring loop detectors, pressure switches, probes, or above-ground sensing devices.
Designed specifically for free-exit gate applications, the CP4 offers a dedicated hard-wired solution that delivers reliable vehicle detection while minimizing installation complexity and maintenance requirements. The included 200 ft direct-burial cable makes this version ideal for installations where the sensor location is farther from the gate operator or control equipment.
Unlike traditional loop systems that require extensive trenching and pavement cutting, the CP4 installs quickly and easily while delivering exceptional long-term performance. Adjustable sensitivity settings allow installers to optimize detection performance for varying site conditions and vehicle types.
The weather-resistant sensor features a rugged IP68-rated enclosure designed for underground installation in demanding environments. Compatible with AC, DC, and solar-powered gate systems, the CP4 provides a versatile solution for residential, commercial, agricultural, and industrial applications.
