Optex OVS-02GT Above Ground Vehicle Detection Sensor

AES EL00IG-K E-Loop In-Ground Commercial Kit with 50 Transceiver for Exit Mode

The OVS-02GT is a microwave-based virtual loop vehicle detection sensor designed for automatic gates, barriers, and industrial doors. Positioned above ground, it detects vehicles moving at speeds between 2 and 35 km/h as they approach and come to a halt. This detection relies on a combination of microwave and ultrasonic waves, making it a viable alternative to ground loop sensors or video-based systems.

Features and Benefits

The above-ground vehicle sensor requires no civil engineering work. It utilises a combination of FMCW (microwave) and ultrasonic technology, serving as a vehicle presence and activation sensor for gates, barriers, and industrial doors. It can detect vehicles moving at speeds ranging from 2 to 35 km/h.

The vehicle sensor detects both small and large vehicles from 1.5m to 8m without requiring civil engineering work, ensuring a non-disruptive installation. It’s an ideal alternative to induction loops in challenging areas like resin driveways and public spaces. Calibration is easy, with simple adjustments for distance and sensitivity.

The OVS-02GT car sensor employs hybrid technology that combines microwave and ultrasonic sensors. Its microwave component uses FMCW (Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave) technology to detect vehicle presence, ensuring reliable operation regardless of lighting conditions, unlike video-based detection systems.

The OVS-02GT activates automatic gates, barriers, or industrial doors using relay output. It reliably detects vehicles in harsh conditions like dust, rain, and snow, and features a built-in heater for operation down to -30 degrees Celsius.

First Fence has a full range of gate automation products and accessories for you to choose from, including loop cables and detectors, safety edge components and gate control panels, as well as a huge range of access gates, including palisade, mesh, railings, and specialist and custom offerings.
