BD Loops E-Z Detector Checker
The E-Z Detector Checker is a fully functional loop that fits into your hand used for servicing gates. The E-Z Detector Checker checks if the loop is being properly energized, the harness wiring, and the detector itself. The device does not require batteries and is encased in tough PVC. Comes with lead-in with a fuse attached that store in the back of the unit. Small, compact and easily fits in your truck.
It is the only device of its kind that can pinpoint what is wrong with a gate system.
When the E-Z Detector Checker is hooked up to a detector in place of an in-ground induction loop, it will show a green light if the detector is properly energizing the loop. By pushing the button just behind the green light, the detector should trip just as a vehicle would have caused a trip when passing over an in-ground loop.
Features:
• Small Compact Design That Fits In Your Hand
• Color-Coded Clip/ Test Leads Store in Base of Unit
• Green LED Lights Up When The Detector is Properly Energizing the Loop Circuit
• Push RED Button Test to See If Detector Is Picking Up Loop Trips
• Eliminates the Need for a Mega OHM Meter
• Allows For Harness Wiring Check from Detector to Loop Terminals within the Gate Operator
• Eliminates the Need to Stock the Field Service Truck with So Many of the Different Types of Detectors
• Saves Valuable Time While Trouble Shooting In the Field
• Reduces the Chance of Cutting in a New Loop When the Problem Was In the Detector Circuit, Not the Loop Itself
• Never Needs Battery Replacement
• Protective Fuse to Safeguard Unit If Connected To 110V
• Allows the Opportunity to Increase Your Profits by Reducing Your Servicing Time and Reducing Repeat Service Calls

Loop Detectors and Loops
Loop Detectors are a device that is connected to a wire loop burred in the center of your driveway. A set of contacts and closes a circuit when a vehicle passes. The detector itself is a small box and has a universal connector (11 pin connector) or operator specific connector (custom connector). Both types of units do the same job. The universal type can be substituted for dedicated units. The dedicated units are convenient because they plug directly into the specific operator they are designed for, thus saving installation time. The detector acts similar to a metal detector in how it functions.
Loops are one of the most common sources of problems in automatic gate systems. Because the wire loops are buried beneath the roadway and are subject to adverse conditions and should be installed carefully. Always use recommended loop wire or loop assembles (pre-formed loops). Make sure connections and splices are in accessible boxes, preferable above grade. It is always a good idea to solder the connections.
Most loop detectors have sensitivity adjustments to accommodate larger high height vehicles. They also have a frequency adjustment. This is used primarily when using more than one detector to prevent RF (radio frequency) interference between the units. Always set the frequency differently when using more than one detector.
The detectors are commonly used to open the gate for exiting vehicles (exit loop) and to prevent the gate from closing on vehicles in its path (safety loops). Sometimes they are used to open a gate from outside as well (entrance loop). An installation may have two-way traffic with a desire to keep the gate closed as much as possible, such as keeping farm animals in. Another common scenario for an entrance loop is a gate that opens automatically upon entry, but is time controlled to prevent entry after hours. In that scenario the entrance loop detector is connected to a seven day timer.
Wand type vehicle detectors are an alternative that can be used as a vehicle exit detector. It is not recommended that they be used as safety detectors (safety loops). These are not recommended on wide roads, (no wider than 14’) due to their limited detection range. These units are buried shallowly by the side of the road and offer ease of installation. They come as fully self contained (single unit) and with detector/wand option (two piece). The two piece units offer the same options as regular detectors with frequency and sensitivity adjustments.
