Description
Meet the Diablo Controls XLP-8 Vehicle Detector—the ultra-low power solution for reliable vehicle detection in access control and traffic management systems. Designed for solar-powered and battery-backed installations, it delivers dependable performance with minimal energy use, ensuring gates, parking systems, and driveways stay responsive without draining power.
- Ultra-Low Power Consumption: Draws less than 1 mA in non-detect mode for sensitivities 1–6; 1.60 mA in non-detect mode for sensitivities 7–9; and up to 30 mA in detect mode.
- Dual Compatibility: Works with standard inductive loops and Diablo Controls' magnetometer-based probes for versatile installation options.
- 9-Position Adjustable Sensitivity: Nine user-selectable settings to tailor detection to vehicle size, speed, and traffic conditions, reducing false triggers.
- Compact Form Factor: Size 2.36” (H) x 2.01” (W) x 0.87” (D) (60 mm x 51 mm x 22 mm) for tight spaces; durable, impact-resistant plastic housing.
- Configurable Fail-Safe and Fail-Secure Modes: Choose the detector’s behavior to maximize safety or security based on site requirements.
- Diagnostic Mode: Built-in troubleshooting mode provides quick maintenance insights and status checks.
- Voltage & Relay Output: Operating range 8–40 VDC or 8–28 VAC; Relay Output rated at 1 A @ 125 V AC or 60 V DC.
- Loop Inductance Range: Compatible with 20 µH to 1500 µH loops (including lead-in) for broad installation compatibility.
- Operating Temperature: Wide range from -35°F to 165°F (-37°C to 74°C) to perform in diverse environments.
- Durable Enclosure: Built with an impact-resistant plastic housing designed for outdoor and harsh environments.
- Versatile Applications: Ideal for residential gate access, commercial parking, and light industrial vehicle control deployments.
- Easy Installation: Designed for straightforward integration with existing access control systems and site wiring.
The XLP-8 Vehicle Detector stands out through its combination of ultra-low power consumption and flexible sensing options. Its ability to run on solar power or battery-backed power sources makes operating costs predictable while expanding where you can deploy reliable vehicle detection. Dual compatibility with inductive loops and magnetometer-based probes means a single detector can cover multiple site configurations without hardware changes. Nine sensitivity settings let you dial in precise vehicle recognition, minimizing false alarms in varying traffic patterns. The compact design, robust enclosure, and diagnostic mode simplify installation and ongoing maintenance, while configurable fail-safe and fail-secure modes ensure safety and security meet your environment’s needs. For modern access control and parking management, the XLP-8 provides a dependable, scalable solution that combines energy efficiency with practical, real-world performance.
