Description
The Cartell CP4 Free Exit System with 300 ft cable is a professional-grade vehicle detection solution designed to provide reliable, hands-free exit activation for automatic gate operators. Utilizing advanced magnetometer technology, the CP4 detects moving metal vehicles without requiring loop detectors, pressure mats, probes, or above-ground sensing devices.
Engineered specifically for free-exit gate automation, the CP4 delivers dependable vehicle detection while simplifying installation and reducing long-term maintenance costs. This version includes an extended 300 ft direct-burial cable, making it ideal for large properties, ranch entrances, commercial facilities, industrial sites, and other applications where the sensor location is significantly farther from the gate operator.
Unlike traditional loop systems that require extensive trenching and pavement cutting, the CP4 offers a streamlined installation process while maintaining exceptional detection accuracy. Adjustable sensitivity settings allow installers to fine-tune performance based on site conditions, traffic patterns, and vehicle types.
Built for demanding outdoor environments, the CP4 features a rugged IP68-rated sensor enclosure and weather-resistant cable designed for direct burial. Its low power consumption also makes it an excellent choice for solar-powered gate systems.
