Description
The NP2 Plus Loop Detector by Northstar Controls is a compact, reliable inductive loop detector designed for automated gates, traffic control systems, and parking access points. It delivers precise vehicle detection with adjustable sensitivity, robust diagnostics, and dual-relay outputs for dependable operation.
- Low Voltage Operation: Operates on 12–24V AC/DC with a low current draw, ideal for remote installations and power-limited sites.
- Dual Relay Outputs: Primary and secondary relays support both normal and fail-safe operation for reliable gate control and system redundancy.
- Adjustable Sensitivity: Front-panel controls allow fine-tuning for vehicle size and site conditions to optimize detection accuracy.
- Multi-Frequency Modulation: Uses multiple modulation frequencies to minimize cross-talk and interference with adjacent loop systems.
- Advanced Diagnostics: LED indicators and a 7-segment display provide real-time status and quick fault identification.
- Extended Lead-In Support: Compatible with loop lead-ins up to 2,500 feet, enabling longer cable runs without loss of detection.
- Wide Operating Temperature: Designed to perform from -30°F to +180°F (-34°C to +82°C) in demanding environments.
- Inductance Range: 20 µH to 1500 µH ensures compatibility with a broad range of inductive loops.
- Electrical & Physical Specs: 12–24V AC/DC, 1 VA max, up to 60 mA draw; 11-pin Amphenol-style socket; dimensions 3.25" x 3.75" x 1.375".
Whether powering automated gates, coordinating facility access, or managing vehicle flow at a busy site, the NP2 Plus delivers dependable detection with clear diagnostics and flexible integration. Its dual-relay design supports both normal operation and fail-safe scenarios, helping you maintain control even in power-related events. The adjustable sensitivity and multi-frequency modulation keep detections accurate across different vehicle sizes and environmental conditions, while the extended lead-in compatibility and wide operating temperature range ensure performance in challenging environments. Real-time status indicators enable quick troubleshooting, reducing maintenance time and downtime. This detector is well-suited for commercial properties, campuses, warehouses, and other entry points where reliable, low-maintenance vehicle detection matters.
