Description
The NP2 ES PLUS Plug-In Loop Detector from Northstar Controls delivers precise, reliable vehicle detection for automated gate and access control systems. Designed for installers and facility managers, it provides fast, accurate tuning and robust performance in multi-loop installations.
- Plug-In Design: Installs directly into standard loop detector racks as a compact, rack-mounted plug-in module, streamlining retrofits and new installations.
- EZ-TUNE Technology: LED-guided sensitivity adjustment enables quick, accurate tuning for varying vehicle sizes and loop geometries, reducing commissioning time.
- Multi-Frequency Selection: Multiple selectable frequencies prevent interference and crosstalk in multi-loop configurations, enhancing reliability in busy entrances.
- Power Supply: 24V AC/DC operation ensures broad compatibility with common gate controllers and access control systems.
- Detection Method: Inductive loop vehicle detection delivers robust, low-false-signal performance across diverse vehicle types and loop layouts.
- Operational Modes: Fail-Safe and Fail-Secure modes maintain appropriate safety and security during system faults or power issues.
- Presence Detection: Permanent and Timed Presence Detection configurable for free-exit logic and precise control sequencing.
- LED Indicators: Red, Yellow, Green LEDs provide real-time status, sensitivity feedback, frequency state, and fault alerts for quick diagnostics.
- Configuration & Fault Monitoring: 6-position DIP switch controls plus continuous monitoring of open and shorted loops reduce downtime and troubleshooting time.
- Delay & Extend Functions: Customizable response timing lets you tailor detector behavior to gate speed, traffic patterns, and site-specific requirements.
The NP2 ES PLUS is ideal for automated gates, access-controlled entrances, parking barriers, and multi-loop installations where reliable vehicle detection and quick setup matter. Its kit of features—ranging from LED-guided tuning and multi-frequency protection to configurable presence logic and robust fault monitoring—helps you reduce commissioning time, minimize false detections, and maintain safe, secure operation across busy sites. By combining plug-in simplicity with flexible timing and durable performance, it provides a practical, long-term solution for modern access control ecosystems.
