Description

The e-Loop Post Mount V4 is an advanced wireless vehicle detection system designed for automatic gates, boom gates and access control applications where installing a detector into the driveway is difficult, undesirable or simply not possible.

Unlike conventional inductive ground loops and surface-mounted vehicle detectors, the e-Loop Post Mount installs directly onto a gate post, wall or suitable structure beside the vehicle path. This eliminates the need to cut, drill or trench into the driveway while still providing reliable vehicle detection.

Combining magnetic field and radar sensing technology, three selectable operating modes, automatic calibration, secure encrypted wireless communication and battery-powered operation, the e-Loop Post Mount V4 provides an extremely flexible vehicle detection solution for both new and existing gate automation systems.

🚗 Vehicle Detection Without Ground Installation

The major advantage of the e-Loop Post Mount is that the vehicle detector does not need to be installed within the driveway.

Instead, the detector is mounted beside the vehicle path on a suitable:

Gate post
Fence post
Wall
Column
Bollard
Existing structure

This makes it an excellent solution where installing a conventional ground detector would be difficult or disruptive.

🚧 No Cutting, Drilling or Trenching Across the Driveway

Traditional inductive vehicle loops require a large loop to be saw-cut into the driveway, while many other vehicle detectors still require equipment to be physically mounted within the vehicle path.

The e-Loop Post Mount eliminates the need for either approach.

There is no requirement to:

Saw-cut an induction loop into the driveway
Install conventional loop wire
Trench across the driveway
Install a detector in the roadway
Drill a mounting hole into the driveway
Run detection cable across the vehicle path

This makes installation particularly attractive on completed or decorative driveway surfaces.

🛠️ Ideal for Existing Gate Installations

The Post Mount V4 has been specifically developed for retrofit applications and sites where ground installation is difficult.

It can be added to an existing automatic gate without extensive civil works around the driveway.

Typical retrofit applications include:

Existing automatic gates
Finished concrete driveways
Decorative concrete
Asphalt driveways
Paved entrances
Sites with underground utilities
Commercial entrances
Existing boom gates
Access control upgrades

The detector can simply be mounted to an appropriate structure beside the vehicle path.

🧲 Dual Sensor Technology

The e-Loop Post Mount combines two vehicle detection technologies:

Magnetic field detection
Radar detection

The magnetic sensor detects changes in the surrounding magnetic field associated with a vehicle, while radar provides additional confirmation of vehicle movement and presence.

Combining these technologies allows the Post Mount to detect vehicles from beside the driveway rather than requiring the detector to be positioned directly underneath the vehicle.

📡 Radar Vehicle Detection

Radar technology allows the Post Mount to monitor the area adjacent to the detector and identify vehicle movement and presence.

This is particularly important for a post-mounted system because the detector is positioned beside the vehicle path rather than directly underneath the vehicle.

The combination of radar and magnetic detection provides a versatile platform for multiple vehicle detection applications.

🎛️ Three Operating Modes

The e-Loop Post Mount V4 provides three operating modes:

Presence Mode
Exit Mode
Parking Mode

This allows the same detector to be configured for different vehicle detection applications depending on the requirements of the site.

The required mode can be selected during system commissioning.

🚪 Exit Mode

Exit Mode allows the e-Loop Post Mount to operate as an automatic vehicle free-exit detector.

When a vehicle approaches the detector from inside the property, the Post Mount identifies the vehicle and sends a wireless activation signal to the compatible transceiver.

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

This allows vehicles to exit without requiring the driver to:

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

Exit Mode is ideal for sites where vehicle entry is controlled but vehicles should be able to leave automatically.

🅿️ Presence Mode

Presence Mode allows the Post Mount to monitor whether a vehicle remains within the detection area.

The combination of magnetic field and radar sensing allows the system to maintain vehicle detection according to the selected configuration.

Presence detection can be useful for applications such as:

Holding an automatic gate open
Holding a boom gate open
Vehicle presence monitoring
Access control
Commercial vehicle entrances
Preventing an automatic closing sequence while a vehicle remains detected

The exact operation depends on the configuration of the e-Loop system and the functionality available from the connected gate or access control controller.

🅿️ Parking Mode

The Post Mount V4 also provides a dedicated Parking Mode.

This additional operating mode expands the Post Mount beyond conventional gate activation and allows it to be used for suitable vehicle parking detection applications.

Parking Mode can be useful where the system needs to monitor a defined vehicle position rather than simply detecting an approaching vehicle.

The correct installation position and system configuration should be selected according to the requirements of the parking application.

📏 Up to 3m Line-of-Sight Detection

When correctly installed and configured, the Post Mount V4 can detect vehicles within an approximately 3 metre line-of-sight detection area.

This allows the detector to be positioned beside the vehicle path rather than directly underneath the vehicle.

Correct positioning is important to ensure that vehicles pass through the intended detection zone.

The actual detection area can be influenced by installation height, detector orientation, vehicle type and surrounding environment.

📐 Recommended Mounting Position

The Post Mount is designed to be mounted beside the vehicle path on a suitable vertical structure.

A typical installation positions the detector approximately 600mm above ground level.

The detector should be oriented towards the intended vehicle detection area and installed where passing vehicles can be reliably detected.

Correct positioning is particularly important when configuring:

Exit detection
Presence detection
Parking detection

Installation should always follow the manufacturer’s positioning and calibration requirements.

⚡ Fast Installation

Because no roadway excavation is required, installation can be completed significantly faster than a traditional inductive ground loop.

The basic installation process involves:

Selecting a suitable mounting location
Mounting the detector to the post, wall or structure
Pairing the detector with the compatible transceiver
Selecting the required operating mode
Configuring the detection area
Calibrating the detector
Testing vehicle detection
Confirming correct gate operation

The Post Mount can be fully operational without cutting or trenching the driveway.

🔄 Intelligent Auto-Calibration

The e-Loop V4 platform incorporates intelligent automatic calibration to simplify installation and commissioning.

Once correctly positioned, the detector establishes its operating environment and calibrates the vehicle detection system.

This reduces the amount of manual adjustment normally associated with conventional vehicle detection equipment.

If the detector is repositioned or the installation environment changes significantly, the system should be recalibrated.
