Description
The e-Loop In Ground V4 is a discreet wireless vehicle detection system designed for automatic gates, boom gates and access control applications where a clean, flush-mounted installation is preferred.
Installed directly into the driveway or roadway surface, the e-Loop In Ground sits flush with the surrounding surface while providing wireless vehicle detection without the large saw-cut loop and extensive cabling required by a traditional inductive ground loop.
Built on the latest e-Loop V4 platform, the In Ground model combines advanced vehicle detection, Exit and Presence operating modes, automatic calibration, secure encrypted wireless communication, smartphone-based configuration and long battery life in a compact concealed installation.
It is particularly well suited to premium residential properties, commercial developments and other installations where reliable vehicle detection is required without a large visible surface-mounted detector.
🚗 Wireless In-Ground Vehicle Detection
The e-Loop In Ground V4 detects vehicles and wirelessly communicates with a compatible e-Trans receiver connected to the gate operator, boom gate or access control system.
The receiver converts the wireless detection signal into the appropriate control input for the connected automation system.
This allows the e-Loop to perform many of the functions traditionally handled by a wired inductive ground loop without requiring a large loop cable to be installed beneath the driveway.
Typical applications include:
- Automatic gate exit activation
- Vehicle presence detection
- Holding an automatic gate open
- Boom gate activation
- Commercial access control
- Residential driveway gates
- Premium property entrances
- Commercial developments

🕳️ Flush In-Ground Installation
The defining feature of the e-Loop In Ground is its discreet flush-mounted design.
Rather than sitting above the driveway surface, the detector is recessed into a purpose-drilled opening so that the top of the detector sits flush or slightly above the finished surface.
Once installed, only the top of the compact detector remains visible.
This provides a clean and professional appearance that is particularly suitable for:
- Architectural driveways
- Premium residential properties
- Decorative driveway surfaces
- Commercial developments
- High-end automatic gate installations
- Sites where surface-mounted equipment is undesirable
✨ Clean & Unobtrusive Appearance
The compact in-ground installation allows vehicle detection to be incorporated into the driveway without a large surface-mounted detector.
This makes the e-Loop In Ground particularly attractive where the appearance of the entrance is important.
The flush design also reduces physical obstruction within the vehicle path and provides a neat finished installation.
For high-end automatic gate projects, the In Ground model provides vehicle detection without detracting from the appearance of the driveway or entrance.
🛠️ No Traditional Inductive Loop Required
Although the e-Loop In Ground requires a small opening to be drilled into the driveway for the detector itself, it eliminates the large saw-cut loop normally required for traditional inductive vehicle detection.
A conventional inductive loop typically requires a large rectangular groove to be cut into the driveway, loop cable installed around the complete detection area and wiring returned to the gate controller.
The e-Loop significantly simplifies this process.
There is no requirement to:
- Saw-cut a large rectangular induction loop
- Install conventional loop wire
- Run loop cable back to the gate operator
- Trench across the driveway
- Install a separate loop detector module
- Repair extensive saw cuts after installation
Only the compact detector mounting location needs to be prepared.
⚡ Simplified Installation
The compact In Ground detector is designed to be installed into a drilled opening in the driveway surface.
The detector is secured so that its upper surface remains flush or slightly above the surrounding driveway.
The basic installation process involves:
- Selecting the correct vehicle detection location
- Preparing the required mounting hole
- Pairing the e-Loop with the compatible e-Trans receiver
- Installing the detector flush with the driveway surface
- Configuring the required operating mode
- Calibrating the detector
- Testing vehicle detection and gate operation
This provides a substantially simpler installation than a traditional wired inductive loop.
🚪 Exit Mode
Exit Mode allows the e-Loop In Ground V4 to operate as an automatic vehicle exit detector.
When a vehicle approaches the detector from inside the property, the e-Loop detects the vehicle and wirelessly sends an activation signal to the compatible e-Trans receiver.
The receiver can then activate the gate operator’s opening input.
This allows vehicles to leave automatically 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 properties where entry is controlled but vehicles are permitted to leave automatically.
🅿️ Presence Mode
The e-Loop In Ground V4 also supports Presence Mode.
Presence Mode allows the system to maintain a detection signal while a vehicle remains within the monitored detection area.
This can be useful for applications such as:
- Holding an automatic gate open
- Holding a boom gate open
- Vehicle presence monitoring
- Commercial access control
- Preventing automatic closure while a vehicle remains detected
The exact response depends on the e-Loop configuration, compatible e-Trans receiver and the inputs and programming available on the connected gate or access control system.
Presence detection should form part of a correctly designed automation system and should not be treated as a substitute for required personal safety devices.
🧲 Advanced Vehicle Detection
The e-Loop In Ground uses advanced sensing technology to detect vehicles within the required detection area.
Rather than relying on a large wire loop embedded throughout the driveway, the compact detector monitors changes associated with a vehicle entering its detection zone.
The latest V4 platform incorporates enhanced vehicle sensing technology designed to improve detection performance and long-term reliability.
🔄 Intelligent Auto-Calibration
The e-Loop V4 platform incorporates intelligent automatic calibration.
Once correctly installed, the detector establishes its normal operating environment and calibrates its detection system accordingly.
This helps simplify commissioning and reduces the amount of manual adjustment normally associated with conventional vehicle detection systems.
If the detector is relocated or installation conditions change significantly, the system should be recalibrated.
📱 Smartphone Configuration
The V4 platform introduces smartphone-based setup, configuration and diagnostics.
