Description
The Cartell CP4 Free Exit System is a professional-grade vehicle detection sensor designed to provide reliable, hands-free free-exit activation for automatic gate systems. Using advanced magnetometer technology, the CP4 detects moving metal vehicles without requiring loops, probes, pressure switches, or above-ground sensing devices.
Designed specifically for gate automation applications, the CP4 delivers dependable exit control by sensing vehicles as they approach the gate from the inside of a secured property. The self-contained underground sensor installs quickly and provides years of maintenance-free operation, making it an ideal solution for residential, commercial, agricultural, and industrial gate installations.
Unlike traditional loop detectors, the CP4 features adjustable sensitivity settings, allowing installers to fine-tune detection performance for a variety of site conditions. The system operates with both AC and DC powered gate operators and is equally suited for solar-powered gate systems.
The rugged weather-resistant sensor is built for long-term underground installation with an IP68-rated enclosure and durable direct-burial cable. With no moving parts and low standby current consumption, the CP4 offers exceptional reliability while reducing installation and maintenance costs.
