Description
The e-Loop Light Industrial V4 is a wireless vehicle detection system designed to replace traditional wired inductive ground loops in automatic gate, boom gate and access control applications.
Designed specifically for demanding light industrial environments, the e-Loop detects vehicles without requiring saw-cut loops, trenching or signal cables to be installed across the driveway. The sensor mounts directly to the roadway and communicates wirelessly with a compatible e-Trans receiver connected to the gate or access control system.
With intelligent vehicle detection, automatic calibration, secure encrypted wireless communication and selectable operating modes, the e-Loop Light Industrial V4 provides a fast and practical vehicle detection solution for warehouses, factories, service yards, commercial driveways and other frequently used access points.
🚗 Wireless Vehicle Detection
The e-Loop Light Industrial detects the presence of a vehicle and wirelessly sends the detection signal to a compatible e-Trans receiver.
The receiver can then provide a trigger to the connected gate operator, boom gate or access control system.
This allows the e-Loop to perform many of the same functions traditionally handled by an inductive ground loop without requiring a physical wire loop to be cut into the driveway.
Typical applications include:
- Automatic gate exit activation
- Vehicle presence detection
- Holding an automatic gate open
- Boom gate activation
- Commercial vehicle access
- Warehouse entrances
- Loading bays
- Factory entrances
- Service yards
- Logistics facilities
🛠️ No Saw Cutting or Ground Loop Wiring
One of the major advantages of the e-Loop system is the elimination of traditional inductive loop installation.
Conventional vehicle loops typically require the driveway surface to be saw-cut so that a loop cable can be installed and connected back to a loop detector.
The e-Loop eliminates this process.
There is no requirement to:
- Saw-cut a conventional loop into the driveway
- Install loop wire
- Run signal cabling across the driveway
- Cut long cable channels back to the gate controller
- Repair saw cuts after installation
This can significantly reduce installation time and disruption, particularly when retrofitting vehicle detection to an existing driveway.
⚡ Fast Surface-Mount Installation
The e-Loop Light Industrial is designed for above-ground installation directly in the vehicle path.
Installation is substantially simpler than a traditional wired inductive loop.
The basic installation process consists of:
- Pairing the e-Loop with the compatible e-Trans receiver
- Securing the e-Loop to a suitable clean, flat and level surface
- Calibrating the sensor
- Testing the required vehicle detection function
Once installed and calibrated, the sensor is ready to detect vehicles passing through the detection area.
🧲 Intelligent Vehicle Detection
The e-Loop uses vehicle sensing technology to identify the presence of a vehicle within its detection area.
Rather than relying on a large wired induction loop embedded into the driveway, the compact sensor detects changes associated with a vehicle entering the detection zone.
The system is designed to provide reliable detection while reducing the installation complexity associated with traditional ground loop systems.
🚪 Exit Mode
Exit Mode allows the e-Loop to be used as a wireless automatic gate exit device.
When a vehicle approaches the sensor from inside the property, the e-Loop detects the vehicle and sends a wireless activation signal to the receiver.
The receiver can then trigger the gate operator’s opening input.
This allows vehicles to exit automatically without requiring the driver to:
- Use a remote control
- Enter a keypad code
- Present an access credential
- Press an exit button
Exit Mode is ideal for free-exit applications where access into the property is controlled but vehicles should be able to leave automatically.
🅿️ Presence Mode
Presence Mode allows the e-Loop to maintain a vehicle detection signal while a vehicle remains within the detection area.
Instead of simply sending a momentary activation command, the system can hold the associated receiver relay while the vehicle remains detected.
This can be useful for applications such as:
- Holding a gate open while a vehicle is present
- Boom gate safety
- Vehicle presence monitoring
- Access control systems
- Preventing automatic closure while a vehicle remains in the detection zone
The exact response of the automation depends on how the e-Trans receiver is connected and how the gate or access control system is configured.
🔄 Automatic Calibration
The e-Loop V4 incorporates automatic calibration technology designed to simplify setup and maintain dependable vehicle detection.
Once installed in the required location, the sensor establishes its normal operating environment and adjusts its detection system accordingly.
This set-and-forget approach reduces the amount of manual adjustment normally associated with vehicle detection equipment.
If the sensor is physically moved to another location, it should be recalibrated for the new environment.
📱 e-CONNECT App Configuration
Version 4 introduces smartphone-based configuration and diagnostics through the compatible e-CONNECT App.
The app can connect to the e-Loop to provide access to advanced configuration and diagnostic functions.
This makes system setup and troubleshooting more convenient for installers by allowing compatible settings and information to be accessed from a smartphone.
🔐 Secure Encrypted Wireless Communication
The e-Loop V4 incorporates encrypted wireless communication between compatible system components.
This helps protect the wireless detection signal against unauthorised interference while providing dependable communication between the roadway sensor and receiver.
Secure communication is particularly important in commercial and access control environments where vehicle detection forms part of the property’s automated entry and exit system.
📡 Up to 50m Wireless Range
The e-Loop Light Industrial system provides a wireless communication range of up to approximately 50 metres under suitable installation conditions.
This provides considerable flexibility when positioning the vehicle detector in relation to the gate operator or access control equipment.
Actual wireless performance can vary according to:
- Installation environment
- Buildings and structures
- Electrical interference
- Receiver location
- Metal objects
- Other radio equipment
- Line of sight
The receiver should be positioned to provide reliable communication with the e-Loop sensor.
🔋 Long-Life Battery Operation
The e-Loop Light Industrial is battery powered, eliminating the need to run electrical power to the roadway sensor.
This is another major advantage compared with hardwired vehicle detection systems.
The Light Industrial model is designed to provide long-term operation from its replaceable lithium batteries, with battery life dependent on activation frequency, operating mode, environmental conditions and system configuration.
Battery-powered operation allows the detector to remain completely wireless at the roadway.
💪 Designed for Light Industrial Traffic
The Light Industrial model is specifically engineered for applications requiring greater durability than a basic residential vehicle detector.
Its robust housing is designed for installations experiencing regular vehicle movements.
Typical applications include:
- Warehouses
- Distribution centres
- Factory entrances
- Industrial estates

🚚 Designed for Vehicle Drive-Over Applications
The compact surface-mounted housing is designed to withstand vehicle traffic when correctly installed.
The Light Industrial version is specified with a static load capacity of approximately 6 tonnes, making it suitable for many light industrial vehicle detection applications.
The sensor should be installed centrally within the required vehicle path and mounted to a suitable clean, flat and level surface.
Installation in irregular terrain, locations prone to flooding or unsuitable surfaces should be avoided.
🌧️ IP68 Environmental Protection
The e-Loop Light Industrial is designed for outdoor roadway installation and features an IP68 ingress protection rating.
This provides a high level of protection against dust and water ingress for demanding external environments.
The sensor is designed to operate across a broad temperature range, making it suitable for a wide variety of Australian environmental conditions.
Correct mounting remains essential for reliable long-term operation.
🚧 Ideal for Retrofit Installations
The wireless design makes the e-Loop particularly useful when vehicle detection needs to be added to an existing automated gate or access control system.
Installing a conventional inductive loop into an existing driveway can require substantial work including saw cutting, cabling and surface repairs.
With e-Loop, the detector can instead be mounted directly to a suitable existing surface.
This makes it ideal for:
- Existing automated gates
