Description
The Optex OVS-02GT Virtual Loop Vehicle Detection Sensor is a high-precision, above-ground radar solution designed for secure gates, barrier arms, and access-controlled entrances. It replaces traditional in-ground loops with a surface-mounted design that preserves pavement and speeds deployment for commercial, industrial, and high-security sites.
- Above-Ground Design: Surface-mounted installation that eliminates cutting, coring, or trenching, preserving pavements and accelerating deployment.
- Detection Range: 7 to 26 feet to reliably cover everything from compact cars to large trucks with consistent accuracy.
- Vehicle Detection: Detects both moving and stationary vehicles for flexible gate and barrier control.
- Smart Human Filtering: Pedestrian-vehicle differentiation reduces false triggers in mixed traffic environments.
- Mobile Configuration: Bluetooth app for quick setup and diagnostics on iOS and Android.
- Weather-Ready Enclosure: IP66 and NEMA 4 rated with a built-in heater to maintain performance in extreme conditions.
- Dual Relay Outputs: Two programmable relays to support safety and exit loop functionality, independently or together.
- Broad Compatibility: Seamlessly integrates with all automated gate and barrier operators for versatile use.
- Power & Communications: 12–24V AC/DC power, 24 GHz microwave sensing, and BLE (2.4 GHz) for wireless configuration.
- Versatile Use Cases: Functions as an exit sensor to automate gate opening or as a safety loop to hold gates open during vehicle presence.
The Optex OVS-02GT delivers dependable vehicle presence data that enhances safety and traffic flow at entry and exit points. Its non-invasive, surface-mounted design avoids pavement disruption while offering precision detection across a wide range of vehicle sizes. Smart human filtering minimizes nuisance triggers, making it well-suited for busy driveways, secured parking lots, loading docks, and facility perimeters. Bluetooth-based configuration enables fast setup and field diagnostics, reducing downtime during installation and maintenance.
