Product Description e-Loop Wireless Vehicle Detector

Exit Mode, Presence Mode & Parking Mode

A key feature of the e-Loop Light Industrial is its ability to operate in three dedicated modes, each designed for specific vehicle control applications:
Exit Mode sends a single, momentary trigger to the paired e-Trans receiver when a vehicle enters the detection zone. This is the typical setup for driveway exit sensors and vehicle detection systems, prompting a gate or barrier to open as a vehicle approaches to leave the premises. The gate then closes via its standard timer or safety input. Exit Mode is widely used for automated gates in industrial facilities, warehouses, and logistics operations throughout Australia.
Presence Mode provides a constant signal and holds the relay active for as long as a vehicle remains within the detection zone, keeping the gate or barrier open. Once the vehicle leaves, the relay disengages and the gate can close. This setting is well suited to loading dock operations, where vehicles stay in place during loading or unloading and access needs to remain open. Note that Presence Mode is intended for vehicle detection only and is not suitable for pedestrian safety use.
Parking Mode works similarly to Presence Mode by latching the relay when a vehicle is detected, but it is designed with slower activation and release times. This makes it ideal for low-traffic environments such as parking areas and storage facilities. It also uses less power, helping to extend battery life in applications where vehicles remain stationary for longer periods.

Auto-Calibration

The e-Loop features auto-calibration that continuously monitors and adjusts to the electromagnetic environment surrounding the sensor. This eliminates false triggers caused by ground movement, nearby metalwork, or environmental change over time, which commonly affect fixed inductive loops. After installation on a clean, flat, level surface, the sensor will automatically calibrate within approximately 5 minutes. If the sensor is relocated, a manual recalibration procedure is required using the included magnet — a simple three-step process that takes only seconds.

Best Mounting Position for Maximum Detection Performance

For reliable and consistent detection, install the e-Loop in the centre of the area where vehicles usually drive, with the arrow pointing toward the gate. Make sure the surface is clean, flat, and level — uneven ground, rocks, or debris can affect accuracy and may damage the unit.

Avoid installing the sensor in areas that flood, near high-voltage cables, or close to sources of strong electrical interference. Secure the unit firmly using the supplied fasteners, ensuring it does not move after installation.

Installation Overview

The following is a summary of the setup process. For complete step-by-step instructions, refer to the Instruction Manual.
  • Step 1 — Coding / Pairing with e-Trans 50 Receiver: Option 1 short-range coding (hold the CODE button until the blue LED illuminates then relase CODE button. Hold the magnet in the CODE recess. e-Loop Yellow LED will flash & e-TRANS Blue LED will flash 3 times, this indicates a successful pairing) or long-range coding (Hold the Magnet in the CODE Recess of the e-LOOP. The Yellow LED will flash once. Now remove the magnet. The Yellow LED will illuminate solid. Go to e-TRANS 50, hold the CODE button until the e-TRANS Blue LED flashes 3 times and the e-LOOP Yellow LED flashes. Indicating a successful pairing. The LEDs will turn off returning back to normal operation) to wirelessly pair the sensor with its receiver.
  • Step 2 — Mounting: Clean the desired mounting location of all dirt and debris. Mount the e-Loop on a clean, flat, level surface in the centre of the most frequently driven path. Ensure the directional arrow faces toward the gate. Secure firmly using the included fasteners. Reinstall dust caps on all screw holes. Do not mount near high-voltage cables, on uneven terrain, in flood-prone areas without drainage, or on irregular or sharp ground surfaces.
  • Step 3 — Calibration: Remove any metallic objects away from the e-LOOP sensor. Hold Magnet in SET recess on e-LOOP, until the Red LED flashes twice. Then remove the magnet. The e-LOOP will take about 5 seconds to calibrate, once complete the red LED will flash 3 times.
  • Step 4 — Mode Selection (Optional): The default mode is Presence Mode. To change to Exit or Parking Mode, use the included magnet on the appropriate magnetic recess or use the e-Loop Connect app. Refer to the instruction manual for the LED confirmation sequences for each mode.
Important Installation Warnings: Always install in accordance with the fitment notes in the instruction manual. Failure to do so may void the product warranty. The e-Loop Light Industrial should not be used in Presence Mode as a personal safety device — it is designed exclusively for vehicle detection.

FAQs About the eLoop Exit Sensor

  • What is the e-Loop Light Industrial?
    The e-Loop Light Industrial is a wireless vehicle detector designed to trigger gates, barriers, and access systems when a vehicle is detected. It uses both radar and magnetic sensing to accurately detect moving and stationary vehicles.
  • How does the e-Loop detect vehicles?
    It combines radar technology (to detect movement and presence) with a magnetometer (to detect the metal mass of a vehicle). When a vehicle enters the detection zone, it sends a wireless signal to a receiver to activate a gate or system.
  • Does it require wiring or digging into the ground?
    No. The unit is completely wireless and battery-powered, so there’s no need for trenching, cabling, or cutting into the driveway. It mounts directly onto the surface.
  • What are the different operating modes?
    The e-Loop has three modes:
    • Exit Mode – sends a single trigger to open a gate
    • Presence Mode – keeps the gate open while a vehicle is detected
    • Parking Mode – similar to Presence Mode but slower and more energy-efficient
  • Can I change modes after installation?
    Yes. You can switch modes using the included magnet or via the e-Loop Connect mobile app, without removing the unit.
  • Is it suitable for outdoor use?
    Yes. It has an IP68 rating, meaning it is fully sealed against dust and water, and it operates in extreme temperatures from −40°C to +80°C—ideal for Australian conditions.
  • How long do the batteries last?
    Battery life depends on usage, but the unit is designed for long-term operation with very low power consumption. Higher traffic will reduce battery life, while lower usage extends it.
  • How far can it detect vehicles?
    • Radar detection range: up to 2 metres
    • Field of view: 60°
    • Magnetometer detection zones: up to 1.5 metres
  • Does it need maintenance or calibration?
    The sensor features auto-calibration, meaning it adjusts automatically to environmental changes. If moved, it will need to be recalibrated.
  • What applications is it best suited for?
    Common uses include:
    • Automatic gate exit detection
    • Loading bays and warehouses
    • Industrial sites and service yards
    • Car parks and rural properties
  • Is it compatible with existing gate systems?
    Yes. It works with compatible receivers that provide standard relay outputs, allowing integration with most gate automation systems.
  • Is it safe to use for pedestrian detection?
    No. The e-Loop is designed only for vehicle detection and should not be used as a safety device for people.
