AES EL00C-RAD – Wireless vehicle detection system with radar and magnetometer

The AES EL00C-RAD system is one of the most advanced wireless vehicle detection solutions available for automation systems. Designed for automatic gates, road barriers, industrial entrances, car parks and residential access points, it completely replaces traditional magnetic loops buried in the ground.

Unlike conventional inductive loops, which require the asphalt to be cut, cables to be laid and the pavement to be restored, the e-Loop sensor is simply secured to the ground using concrete fixing bolts. This allows extremely fast installation and drastically reduces installation and maintenance costs, as well as the risk of failures caused by ground movement.

The system uses a 3-axis magnetometer sensor that detects approaching vehicles and communicates by radio with the dedicated receiver. Once a vehicle has been detected, the integrated radar is also activated, allowing the system to continue detecting the vehicle even when it remains stationary above the sensor.

This “presence” mode is particularly useful for:

• industrial automatic gates
• automatic car park barriers
• residential access points
• industrial automatic doors
• logistics entrances
• systems where the gate must remain open for as long as the vehicle occupies the area

The bidirectional radio protocol ensures extremely reliable communication between the sensor and the receiver, with continuous confirmation of the operating status and 128-bit AES encryption for a high level of security.

The sensor housing is made of highly impact-resistant plastic, has an IP68 protection rating and can withstand static loads of up to 10 tonnes. This makes the device suitable for industrial environments and areas with heavy traffic.

Power is supplied by replaceable high-capacity lithium batteries, which can provide up to 6 years of operation depending on the number of daily activations and the operating conditions.
