Description
Meet the OPTEX OVS-01CC Vehicle Presence Sensor — a reliable, above-ground detector that accurately identifies both moving and stationary vehicles, ideal for parking management, access control, and car counting. Its non-intrusive, above-ground installation eliminates ground loops and concrete cutting, enabling quick setup on poles or posts about 20 inches off the ground.
- Detection technology: 24 GHz Microwave (Doppler Shift & FMCW) delivers robust vehicle detection with minimal interference across changing environments.
- Non-intrusive installation: Above-ground mounting on poles or posts—no ground loops or trenching required, reducing installation time and disruption.
- Adjustable detection range: Configurable from 3 to 26 feet with 5 sensitivity levels to match site conditions and vehicle types.
- Advanced pedestrian cancellation: Smart filtering reduces false detections from pedestrians in mixed traffic areas, enhancing presence accuracy.
- Weatherproof with built-in heater: IP65-rated housing with automatic heater supports reliable operation from -22°F to 122°F (-30°C to 50°C) in harsh conditions.
- Vehicle speed range: Optimized to detect vehicles moving between 1.2 and 37 mph, accommodating diverse sites from parking lots to drive-thrus.
- Power & outputs: 12–24 VDC power with dual relay outputs (N.O./N.C.), rated up to 30VDC at 0.3A for gates, barriers, or controllers.
- Mounting & accessories: Compatible with OVS-MP Mini Post and OVS-Cover anti-vandal cover for tailored installations and added protection.
- Designed use: Ideal for access control gates, parking management systems, car counting, drive-thru service points, and traffic monitoring.”
The OVS-01CC is built to simplify vehicle detection across a range of applications. Its above-ground design minimizes installation complexity and ongoing maintenance while delivering reliable presence data and counts for integration with existing controllers and barriers. With precise sensitivity, flexible mounting, and robust weather performance, it provides a clear, actionable view of vehicle activity at your site—without compromising road surfaces or workflow.
