Description

The e-Loop e-Trans 100 V4.0 is a high-capacity dual-channel wireless transceiver designed to integrate compatible e-Loop vehicle detectors and e-TX remote controls with automatic gates, boom gates, doors and access control systems.

Designed for medium-to-large commercial applications, the e-Trans 100 provides a significant step up from the smaller e-Trans models with support for up to 4 compatible e-Loops, up to 100 e-TX remote controls and 2 independent output channels.

The addition of Sequence Mode capability, e-Light compatibility and both AC and DC power supply support makes the e-Trans 100 an extremely flexible solution for more demanding automatic gate and access control installations.

📡 Advanced e-Loop Wireless Transceiver

The e-Trans 100 provides the interface between compatible wireless e-Loop devices and the automatic gate, door or access control system.

When a paired e-Loop detects a vehicle, the wireless detection command is received by the e-Trans 100.

The transceiver then activates the appropriate output channel according to the programmed configuration.

This allows compatible e-Loop vehicle detectors to communicate wirelessly with the gate automation system without requiring a detection cable between the roadway detector and gate controller.

Typical applications include:

Automatic sliding gates
Automatic swing gates
Boom gates
Automatic barriers
Commercial entrances
Industrial access points
Apartment complexes
Shared residential entrances
Vehicle free-exit systems
Vehicle presence detection
Automatic doors
Access control systems

🏢 Designed for Medium-to-Large Commercial Systems

The e-Trans 100 is designed for moderately demanding installations where greater device capacity and additional control flexibility are required.

It provides more capability than the e-Trans 20 and e-Trans 50 while remaining straightforward to integrate with conventional automatic gate controllers.

Typical applications include:

Commercial automatic gates
Apartment complexes
Business parks
Commercial car parks
Industrial entrances
Shared access systems
Staff vehicle entrances
Warehouses
Boom gates
Automatic barriers
Multi-detector installations

🚗 Supports up to 4 e-Loops

The e-Trans 100 can store and communicate with up to 4 compatible e-Loop vehicle detectors.

This allows several vehicle detection points to be incorporated into the same automation system.

Multiple e-Loops can be useful for applications such as:

Automatic free exit
Vehicle presence detection
Multiple driveway detection points
Entry and exit detection
Separate vehicle trigger zones
Long driveway layouts
Commercial access systems

The exact operation of each detector depends on the e-Loop model, selected operating mode and e-Trans configuration.

🎛️ Supports up to 100 e-TX Remotes

The e-Trans 100 can also store up to 100 compatible e-TX remote controls.

This allows vehicle detection and conventional remote gate operation to be combined through the same e-Trans platform.

The larger transmitter capacity makes the e-Trans 100 particularly suitable for:

Apartment buildings
Commercial properties
Shared residential gates
Staff access systems
Business premises
Multi-user automatic gates

Up to 100 compatible e-TX remotes can be managed by a single e-Trans 100.

2️⃣ Dual-Channel Operation

One of the major differences between the e-Trans 100 and smaller e-Trans models is the addition of 2 output channels.

Dual-channel operation provides greater flexibility when integrating multiple wireless devices with an automatic gate or access control system.

The two channels can be used to provide separate control functions according to the requirements of the installation.

Potential applications can include:

Main gate opening
Pedestrian opening
Separate access functions
Independent gate commands
Separate vehicle detection functions

The actual functions available depend on the connected gate controller and the programming of the e-Trans system.

🔄 Sequence Mode Capability

The e-Trans 100 introduces Sequence Mode capability for more advanced gate automation applications.

Sequence Mode allows compatible devices and output channels to operate according to a programmed sequence rather than functioning solely as basic individual relay triggers.

This provides additional flexibility for installations requiring coordinated control behaviour.

Sequence Mode can be particularly useful in more advanced commercial access control systems where multiple detection points or control functions need to interact.

⚡ AC & DC Power Compatibility

Unlike the e-Trans 20 and e-Trans 50, which require DC power, the e-Trans 100 incorporates both AC and DC power compatibility.

The standard operating supply range is:

10–36V DC
10–26V AC

This makes the e-Trans 100 considerably easier to integrate with a wide variety of automatic gate controllers.

Many gate operators provide either AC or DC accessory power, and the e-Trans 100 can accommodate both within its specified operating range.

🔌 Easier Gate Operator Integration

AC and DC compatibility means the e-Trans 100 can often be powered directly from the accessory output of the connected gate controller.

This can eliminate the need for the separate AC-to-DC converter required when installing an e-Trans 20 or e-Trans 50 on a controller that only provides AC accessory power.

The voltage available from the gate controller should always be checked before connection.

🔋 Low Power Consumption

The e-Trans 100 has been designed to operate with low power consumption.

Typical standard operating current is approximately 12mA.

An optional Low Drain Current configuration provides approximately 4.5mA operation for installations where minimising power consumption is particularly important.

Low current consumption can be beneficial for:

Solar gate systems
Battery-backed gate operators
Remote installations
Low-power access control systems

🚪 Automatic Free-Exit Applications

The e-Trans 100 can form the interface between a compatible e-Loop and the gate controller for automatic vehicle free-exit applications.

A typical sequence is:

A vehicle approaches the e-Loop.
The e-Loop detects the vehicle.
The detector transmits the command wirelessly.
The e-Trans 100 receives the command.
The programmed output channel activates.
The gate controller receives the opening command.
The automatic gate opens.

This allows vehicles to exit without requiring the driver to use a remote control, keypad or other access credential.

🅿️ Vehicle Presence Applications

The e-Trans 100 can also be used with compatible Presence Mode e-Loops.

Depending on the e-Loop and system configuration, vehicle presence detection can be used for applications such as:

Holding an automatic gate open
Holding a boom gate open
Vehicle presence monitoring
Commercial access control
Vehicle detection zones
Parking applications

The gate or access control system must provide an appropriate input and operating logic for the required function.

Vehicle presence detection should form part of a correctly designed automation system and should not replace required personal safety devices.

🚦 Multiple Vehicle Detection Points

Support for up to 4 e-Loops makes the e-Trans 100 particularly useful where several vehicle detection points are required around the same entrance.

For example, a commercial entrance could incorporate separate detectors for:

Vehicle approach
Automatic exit
Gate presence
Additional detection zones

The dual-channel architecture provides greater flexibility when assigning these detection functions to the connected automation system.

💡 e-Light Compatibility

The e-Trans 100 is compatible with the Microtech Designs e-Light monitoring system.

The e-Light provides a convenient visual indication of the condition of connected e-Loop devices.

When installed in a prominent location, the e-Light can provide warning indications for conditions such as:

Low e-Loop battery
Lost communication with an e-Loop
System status conditions

This can be particularly useful for commercial installations where vehicle detectors need to be monitored without individually inspecting each detector.

🚨 e-Light Relay Module Compatibility

The e-Trans 100 can also be used with the compatible e-Light Relay Module.

The module allows third-party warning lights or indicators to be incorporated into the e-Loop monitoring system.

This can be particularly useful for industrial and commercial installations where a larger or more visible status indicator is required.

🔍 Loop Fault Indication

The e-Trans 100 incorporates dedicated loop status indicators to assist with troubleshooting.

If communication with a programmed e-Loop is lost, the appropriate loop indicator can flash to identify the affected detector.

Low battery conditions can also be indicated, helping installers and maintenance personnel identify which e-Loop requires attention.

This provides an important maintenance advantage on installations using several vehicle detectors.

📡 External Antenna Compatibility

The e-Trans 100 is compatible with Microtech Designs external antenna options.

An external antenna can be used to improve wireless communication or extend operating range where installation conditions make reception difficult.

Compatible antenna options can include:

12dBi antenna
30dBi antenna
Flush mount antenna

External antennas are particularly useful when:

The transceiver is installed inside a metal enclosure
The e-Loops are positioned further away
Buildings obstruct the wireless signal
Additional wireless range is required
The transceiver is installed inside a plant room or control cabinet

📶 Extended Wireless Range

Using an appropriate external antenna can substantially improve the wireless performance of the e-Trans system.

This makes the e-Trans 100 suitable for larger commercial properties where vehicle detectors may be positioned further away from the gate controller.

Actual wireless performance depends on:

e-Loop model
Antenna type
Antenna position
Transceiver location
Buildings and structures
Metal enclosures
Electrical interference

e-Loop Post Mount detectors

The exact compatibility and available operating functions should be confirmed for the selected V4 detector.

🎮 Compatible with e-TX Remotes

The e-Trans 100 can store up to 100 compatible e-TX remote controls.

This allows the transceiver to function as both a vehicle detection receiver and a remote-control receiver within the same automatic gate system.

This can simplify installations by reducing the need for separate radio receivers.

🔧 Compatible with Multiple Gate Automation Brands

The e-Trans 100 interfaces with compatible gate automation systems through its control outputs.

This allows it to be integrated with many different gate operator brands where suitable control inputs are available.

Potential applications include compatible:

FAAC gate operators

For maximum reliability and service life, Microtech Designs recommends installing the e-Trans 100 inside a suitable weatherproof plastic enclosure.

A plastic enclosure protects the transceiver from environmental exposure while allowing wireless signals to pass through effectively.

If installation inside a metal enclosure is required, an appropriate external antenna should be used to help maintain reliable wireless communication.

🧰 Designed for Expandable Systems

The combination of 100-remote capacity, 4 e-Loops, dual channels and e-Light compatibility makes the e-Trans 100 well suited to systems that may expand over time.

A property can begin with a relatively simple vehicle detection installation and add additional:

e-Loops
Remote controls
Monitoring equipment
Detection points
Access functions

without immediately replacing the transceiver.

📈 Step Up from the e-Trans 50

The e-Trans 100 is particularly suited where the installation requires:

Up to 100 e-TX remotes
Up to 4 e-Loops
2 output channels
AC or DC power compatibility
Sequence Mode
e-Light monitoring
External antenna options
Medium-to-large commercial capacity

This makes it a strong choice for more demanding shared residential and commercial gate systems.
