Description
The e-Loop Wired V4 is a direct-connected vehicle detection system designed for automatic gates, boom gates and access control applications where reliable vehicle detection is required without installing a traditional full-size inductive ground loop.
Unlike the wireless e-Loop range, the Wired V4 connects directly to the gate or access control system, eliminating the need for a separate wireless receiver. The compact detector combines magnetic field and radar sensing technology with a hardwired 12–24V AC/DC power supply and direct control output.
Designed for residential and commercial applications, the e-Loop Wired V4 provides a practical alternative to traditional induction loops while retaining the reliability and simplicity of a direct wired connection.
🚗 Direct Wired Vehicle Detection
The e-Loop Wired V4 detects vehicles and provides a direct wired connection to the gate operator, boom gate or access control system.
Rather than transmitting the vehicle detection signal to a separate wireless receiver, the Wired model connects directly to the automation controller.
This makes it particularly suitable for installations where cabling between the vehicle detection point and gate controller is practical and a hardwired connection is preferred.
Typical applications include:
- Automatic sliding gates
- Automatic swing gates
- Boom gates
- Automatic barriers
- Residential driveway gates
- Commercial entrances
- Vehicle free-exit systems
- Vehicle presence detection
- Car park entrances
- Access control systems
🔌 No Separate e-Trans Receiver Required
Unlike the wireless e-Loop models, the e-Loop Wired connects directly to the gate control board.
This means a separate e-Trans receiver is not required for normal vehicle detection operation.
The direct connection provides a simple interface between the vehicle detector and automation controller while also supplying power to the e-Loop.
This makes the Wired model an excellent choice where:
- A cable path already exists
- The gate controller is relatively close to the detector
- A hardwired system is preferred
- Battery replacement is undesirable
- High-frequency vehicle detection is required
⚡ 12–24V AC/DC Power
The e-Loop Wired V4 operates from a 12–24V AC/DC power supply.
Power can typically be provided from a suitable accessory output on the gate controller or from a separate compatible power supply.
Because the detector receives continuous external power, there are no roadway sensor batteries requiring periodic replacement.
This makes the Wired model particularly suitable for higher-use installations where long-term operation with minimal routine maintenance is required.
🧲 Magnetic Field Vehicle Detection
The e-Loop Wired uses magnetic field sensing technology to detect vehicles.
The detector monitors changes in the surrounding magnetic field caused by a vehicle entering the detection area.
When the required vehicle condition is detected, the e-Loop provides the appropriate output to the connected gate or access control system.
Magnetic vehicle detection allows the compact e-Loop to replace the much larger wire loop normally installed beneath a driveway.
📡 Radar Assisted Detection
The e-Loop Wired platform can also incorporate radar detection for applications requiring vehicle presence monitoring.
Radar works alongside magnetic field sensing to provide additional confirmation that a vehicle remains within the detection area.
This is particularly useful for Presence Mode applications where the system needs to maintain a detection output while a vehicle remains over or near the detector.
🚪 Exit Mode
Exit Mode allows the e-Loop Wired to operate as an automatic free-exit detector.
When a vehicle approaches the detector from inside the property, the e-Loop detects the vehicle and provides an activation signal directly to the gate controller.
The gate can then automatically open without requiring the driver to:
- Use a remote control
- Enter a keypad code
- Present an access credential
- Press an exit button
- Contact security personnel
This makes the e-Loop Wired ideal for properties where vehicle entry is controlled but free exit is permitted.
🅿️ Presence Detection
Presence detection can be used where the gate or barrier needs to know that a vehicle remains within the monitored area.
With the appropriate configuration, magnetic field and radar detection work together to maintain the required vehicle presence output.
Typical applications include:
- Holding an automatic gate open
- Holding a boom gate open
- Vehicle presence monitoring
- Car park access control
- Commercial vehicle entrances
- Preventing closure while a vehicle remains detected
The exact operation depends on the detector configuration and the functionality available from the connected gate or access control system.
Vehicle presence detection should form part of a correctly designed automation system and should not be considered a substitute for required personal safety devices.
🎛️ Three Selectable Operating Modes
The e-Loop Wired V4 provides three selectable operating modes, allowing the detector to be configured according to the requirements of the installation.
This gives installers greater flexibility when using the same vehicle detection platform across different gate and access control applications.
The appropriate mode should be selected according to whether the detector is being used for vehicle activation, presence detection or another supported control function.
🛠️ Simplified Alternative to a Traditional Inductive Loop
Traditional inductive vehicle loops normally require a large rectangular or square groove to be saw-cut into the driveway.
Loop cable is then installed around the complete detection area and returned to a separate loop detector or compatible control board.
The e-Loop Wired provides a much more compact alternative.
Instead of cutting a large loop around the vehicle detection area, only a simple cable route between the compact detector and gate controller is required.
This can significantly reduce:
- Saw cutting
- Installation time
- Driveway disruption
- Loop wire requirements
- Surface repair work
- Installation complexity
✂️ Single Cable Route
The Wired e-Loop is designed to simplify cable installation.
Rather than creating the complete perimeter cut required for a traditional induction loop, the installer only needs to provide a cable route from the detector back to the gate or access control system.
Depending on the installation, the cable can be:
- Installed within a simple saw cut
- Installed through an existing conduit
- Protected using a suitable cable cover
- Incorporated into a new driveway installation
This provides considerably more flexibility than a conventional induction loop.
🏗️ Multiple Installation Options
The e-Loop Wired can be installed in several different configurations depending on the required operating mode and site conditions.
Installation options include:
- Surface mounting
- Flush mounting
- In-ground installation
- Concealed installation where supported
This allows the detector to be adapted to both new and existing gate automation projects.
Surface mounting can provide the fastest retrofit installation, while flush or concealed mounting can provide a cleaner finished appearance.
👁️ Concealed Installation
Where supported by the selected operating mode, the e-Loop Wired can be installed completely concealed beneath the finished surface.
This allows vehicle detection to be incorporated into the driveway without leaving a visible detector above the surface.
Concealed installation can be particularly useful for:
- Premium residential entrances
- Architectural driveways
- Commercial developments
- New driveway construction
- Sites where visible roadway equipment is undesirable
The installation method must comply with the manufacturer’s requirements for the selected operating mode.
💧 Fully Potted Construction
The e-Loop Wired detector is fully potted to provide a high level of environmental protection.
Potting encapsulates the detector electronics and helps protect the internal components against moisture and harsh external conditions.
This is particularly important for a detector designed to operate directly within or adjacent to a driveway surface.
🌧️ IP-Rated Outdoor Protection
The e-Loop Wired is designed for demanding external vehicle detection applications.
Its sealed construction provides protection against water and environmental exposure when correctly installed.
This makes the detector suitable for permanent outdoor installation around automatic gates, barriers and commercial vehicle entrances.
Correct installation remains essential, particularly for flush, in-ground and concealed applications.
🚚 Heavy-Duty Construction
The e-Loop Wired is designed to withstand vehicle traffic when correctly installed.
Its robust construction makes it suitable for residential and commercial vehicle access applications where the detector may be exposed to repeated vehicle movements.
The installation surface and mounting method must still be appropriate for the expected traffic and site conditions.
🏢 Suitable for High-Operational Sites
Because the Wired model receives continuous external power and provides a direct connection to the gate controller, it is particularly well suited to sites with frequent vehicle movements.
Typical applications include:
- Commercial gates
- Industrial entrances
- Business premises
- Staff car parks
- Apartment entrances
- Warehouses
- Service yards
- Residential communities
- Automatic barriers
- High-use driveway gates
The absence of detector batteries also reduces routine maintenance requirements in frequently used applications.
🔄 Automatic Vehicle Detection
Once installed and configured, the e-Loop Wired continuously monitors the detection area for the required vehicle condition.
When a vehicle is detected, the appropriate control output is provided to the connected gate or access control system.
This allows automatic vehicle detection without requiring driver interaction.
📱 V4 Configuration & Diagnostics
The V4 platform has been developed to simplify configuration, commissioning and system diagnostics.
Wireless connectivity remains available for compatible diagnostic and configuration functions even though the primary connection between the detector and gate controller is hardwired.
This allows installers to benefit from the advanced configuration capabilities of the e-Loop platform while maintaining a direct wired connection for normal gate operation.
🔐 Secure Wireless Diagnostic Connection
Although normal gate activation is provided through the direct wired connection, the e-Loop platform incorporates secure wireless technology for compatible configuration and diagnostic functions.
High-security 128-bit encryption helps protect compatible wireless communication.
The hardwired operating connection remains independent of the wireless diagnostic functionality.
🔄 No Detector Battery Replacement
Because the e-Loop Wired receives continuous power from a 12–24V AC/DC supply, there are no detector batteries requiring periodic replacement.
This provides an important advantage for:
- High-traffic sites
- Commercial installations
- Difficult-to-access installations
- Concealed installations
- Sites where routine maintenance needs to be minimised
Once correctly installed, the detector can remain continuously powered from the gate automation system.
🚧 Excellent for Retrofit Applications
