Description

The e-Loop Mini V4 is a compact wireless vehicle detection system designed specifically for residential and light-duty automatic gate applications.

Designed as a simple alternative to traditional wired inductive ground loops, the e-Loop Mini detects vehicles without requiring a conventional loop cable to be saw-cut into the driveway. The compact surface-mounted detector communicates wirelessly with a compatible e-Trans receiver connected to the gate operator or access control system.

With its small 120 × 120mm footprint, battery-powered operation, automatic calibration and secure wireless communication, the e-Loop Mini provides an ideal solution for residential automatic gates where fast installation and minimal disruption to the driveway are important.

🚗 Wireless Vehicle Detection

The e-Loop Mini detects the presence or movement of a vehicle and wirelessly transmits the detection signal to a compatible e-Trans receiver.

The receiver then interfaces with the automatic gate controller to provide the required activation signal.

This allows the Mini to perform vehicle detection functions without requiring a traditional wired inductive loop beneath the driveway.

Typical applications include:

Residential automatic gates
Sliding driveway gates
Swing driveway gates
Automatic vehicle exit
Vehicle presence detection
Private residential entrances
Low-traffic access points

🏡 Designed for Residential Applications

The e-Loop Mini has been specifically designed for low-traffic single residential and domestic applications.

Its compact dimensions and simple installation make it particularly well suited to private driveway gates where a larger commercial vehicle detector is unnecessary.

Typical installations include:

Residential homes
Private driveways
Gated properties
Single-house access
Residential sliding gates
Residential swing gates
Low-traffic private entrances

For higher-traffic commercial or industrial applications, one of the heavier-duty e-Loop models should be considered.

📐 Compact 120 × 120mm Design

One of the key advantages of the e-Loop Mini is its compact housing.

At approximately:

120mm long
120mm wide
30mm high

the Mini occupies considerably less driveway space than larger commercial surface-mounted vehicle detectors.

Its low-profile design helps minimise visual impact while still providing wireless vehicle detection for compatible residential gate automation systems.

🛠️ No Traditional Inductive Loop Required

The e-Loop Mini eliminates the need to install a conventional wired inductive loop into the driveway.

Traditional vehicle detection loops generally require a large rectangular groove to be saw-cut into the driveway, with loop cable installed around the detection area and wired back to the gate controller.

The e-Loop Mini eliminates this conventional loop installation.

There is no requirement to:

Saw-cut a large induction loop into the driveway
Install conventional loop wire
Run loop cabling back to the gate operator
Trench across the driveway
Install a separate buried detection loop

This can significantly reduce installation time and disruption.

⚡ Quick Surface-Mount Installation

The e-Loop Mini is designed for above-ground surface mounting directly within the vehicle path.

The detector is secured to the driveway using suitable concrete fixings, eliminating the need for major excavation or extensive saw cutting.

The basic installation process involves:

Selecting the correct vehicle detection location
Installing the supplied lithium batteries
Pairing the e-Loop with the compatible receiver
Securing the detector to the driveway surface
Calibrating the detector
Testing vehicle detection and gate operation

This makes the Mini particularly useful for adding automatic vehicle detection to an existing gate system.

🚪 Exit Mode

Exit Mode allows the e-Loop Mini to be used as an automatic vehicle exit detector.

When a vehicle approaches the detector from inside the property, the Mini detects the vehicle and sends a wireless activation signal to the compatible receiver.

The receiver can then activate the dedicated opening input on the automatic gate controller.

This allows vehicles to exit the property without requiring the driver to:

Use a remote control
Enter a keypad code
Present an access credential
Press an exit button

This makes the e-Loop Mini particularly useful for residential properties where entry is controlled but vehicles should be able to exit automatically.

🅿️ Presence Mode

The e-Loop Mini is also available with Presence Mode for applications requiring continued vehicle detection.

Presence Mode combines vehicle detection with additional radar functionality to help maintain the detection signal while a vehicle remains within the detection area.

This can be useful for:

Holding an automatic gate open
Detecting longer vehicles
Vehicle presence monitoring
Preventing automatic closure while a vehicle remains detected

The exact operation depends on the detector configuration, compatible receiver and the functionality available from the connected gate controller.

Presence detection should form part of a correctly designed automation system and should not be considered a replacement for required personal safety devices.

🧲 Magnetometer Vehicle Detection

The e-Loop Mini uses magnetometer sensing technology to detect vehicles.

The detector monitors changes in the surrounding magnetic field caused by a vehicle entering its detection area.

Once a vehicle is detected, the Mini transmits a wireless signal to the paired receiver.

This provides vehicle detection without requiring a large wire loop beneath the driveway.

📡 Up to 50m Wireless Range

The e-Loop Mini provides a wireless communication range of up to approximately 50 metres when used with a suitable compatible receiver and installed under appropriate conditions.

This provides considerable flexibility when positioning the vehicle detector relative to the automatic gate controller.

Actual wireless performance can vary according to:

Receiver position
Buildings and structures
Electrical interference
Metal objects
Other radio equipment
Installation environment
Line of sight

The receiver should be positioned to provide reliable communication with the vehicle detector.

🔐 128-Bit Encrypted Communication

The e-Loop Mini incorporates high-security 128-bit encrypted wireless communication.

This protects the wireless communication between the vehicle detector and compatible receiver.

Secure wireless communication is particularly important where the detector is being used to automatically trigger an access control system or automatic gate.

🔋 Replaceable AA Lithium Batteries

The e-Loop Mini is powered by two standard 1.5V AA lithium batteries.

Battery operation eliminates the need to run electrical power to the roadway detector.

The batteries are replaceable, allowing the detector to remain in service without replacing the complete unit when the batteries eventually reach the end of their service life.

Lithium batteries should be used as specified by the manufacturer.

🔋 Long Battery Life

The e-Loop Mini is designed for long-term battery operation.

Battery life depends on the selected operating mode and the frequency of vehicle detection.

Typical maximum battery life is approximately:

Up to 4 years in Exit Mode
Up to 3 years in Presence Mode

Actual battery life can vary according to:

Daily vehicle activations
Detection duration
Operating mode
Environmental conditions
Wireless conditions
System configuration

The long battery life helps minimise routine maintenance requirements.

💪 2.5-Tonne Static Load Capacity

Despite its compact size, the e-Loop Mini is designed with a static load capacity of up to 2.5 tonnes.

This allows the detector to be installed directly within the vehicle path for suitable residential applications.

The detector must still be correctly mounted on a suitable, flat and stable surface according to the manufacturer’s installation instructions.

For applications involving heavier vehicles or demanding commercial traffic, a heavier-duty e-Loop model should be selected.

🌧️ IP68 Protection

The e-Loop Mini is designed for outdoor above-ground installation and features IP68 ingress protection.

This provides a high level of protection against dust and water ingress when the detector is correctly assembled and installed.

Its operating design makes it suitable for exposed residential driveway environments.

Correct installation remains important for reliable long-term operation.

🔄 Automatic Calibration

The e-Loop Mini incorporates automatic calibration to simplify setup.

Once installed in the required location, the detector establishes the normal magnetic environment and calibrates itself for vehicle detection.

This helps simplify commissioning and reduces the amount of manual adjustment associated with traditional vehicle detection equipment.

If the detector is physically relocated, it should be recalibrated for its new installation position.

🚧 Excellent for Retrofit Gate Automation

The e-Loop Mini is particularly useful when automatic vehicle detection needs to be added to an existing residential gate.

Installing a conventional inductive loop into an existing driveway can involve:

Saw cutting
Loop wire installation
Trenching
Cable installation
Driveway repairs

The e-Loop Mini provides a much simpler surface-mounted alternative.

This makes it particularly useful for:

Existing automatic gates
Finished concrete driveways
Existing residential properties
Gate automation upgrades
Automatic free-exit upgrades
Sites where trenching is impractical

🚘 Automatic Free Exit

One of the most popular applications for the e-Loop Mini is automatic free exit.

The detector can be positioned inside the property before the gate.

As a vehicle approaches the exit, the Mini detects the vehicle and transmits an opening command through the compatible receiver.

The gate can then open automatically.

Once the vehicle has passed through, the gate controller’s automatic closing function can close the gate according to its programmed settings.

For this type of application, the gate controller must have a suitable dedicated opening input and automatic closing must be appropriately configured.

🔧 Compatible with Multiple Gate Automation Brands

The e-Loop Mini communicates with the gate automation system through a compatible e-Trans receiver.

The receiver provides the interface between the wireless vehicle detector and the gate controller.

Because the receiver can provide a conventional control output, the e-Loop system can be integrated with many different automatic gate systems where a suitable control input is available.

This can include compatible:

FAAC gate operators
ATA gate operators
B&D gate operators
Centsys gate operators
Other compatible swing gate systems
Other compatible sliding gate systems

Compatibility should always be confirmed according to the control board and required operating function.

🧰 Low-Maintenance Vehicle Detection

The absence of a conventional buried loop eliminates many of the installation and maintenance issues associated with traditional inductive loops.

Traditional loops can potentially be affected by:

Ground movement
Damaged loop wire
Deteriorating saw cuts
Driveway resurfacing
Construction work
Cable damage

The e-Loop Mini remains accessible on the driveway surface, making future inspection, battery replacement or detector replacement considerably easier.
