AES EL00PM-RAD Wireless Post Mount Vehicle Detector

Wireless Post-Mount Vehicle Detection for Gate Open Inputs The AES EL00PM-RAD Post Mount Wireless Vehicle Detection System is an e-LOOP vehicle detector designed for gate and door access applications where a post-mounted detector is preferred over buried loop work. It detects the presence and movement of vehicles using a 3-axis magnetometer with radar confirmation, then sends a wireless signal to a nearby compatible transceiver. This detector is used for entry, exit, presence, and parking-style vehicle detection depending on setup mode and site configuration. It is commonly used with automatic gate systems where the controller has a dedicated open input and auto-close enabled. Once the detector identifies a vehicle, the paired transceiver can trigger the gate or door controller input. The EL00PM-RAD mounts to a post approximately 23.6 inches, or 600 mm, above ground. Its compact enclosure, IP68 ingress protection, 128-bit AES encrypted radio communication, and lithium battery operation make it suited for outdoor access control environments where trenching, saw-cutting, or permanent in-ground loop installation is not practical. This device is for vehicle detection and access input control. It is not a monitored entrapment protection device and should not be used as a substitute for required gate safety devices.
