Single Piece Buried Car Motion Sensor
Now with NEW SLIM design & Lower 1.5 mA Standby Current

The CarSense 202 is based on the well known CarSense 101 design. The single piece design provides the installer with a simple installation procedure.

The CarSense 202 is buried in the ground, so it will not be noticed by a potential intruder or vandals.

The CarSense 202 accepts a wide range of power input of 9 Volts to 35 Volts AC or DC. The low current con- sumption of 1.5 mA standby and 15 mA detected make the CarSense 202 Slim a great choice for solar applications.

APPLICATIONS 

Safety – detects moving vehicles in an industrial environment where there are blind areas along the driving path and actuates warning lights. 

Energy conservation – detects moving vehicles along a driving path in a warehouse and turns on lights only in the proximity of the vehicle. 

Security – detects approaching vehicles or an unauthorized movement of a parked vehicle and actuates alarms, video cameras, or vehicle enunciator.

Access control – “free exit” vehicle detector for gates, overhead doors and parking barriers.

INSTALLATION NOTES

The CarSense series of sensors use passive probe technology to detect changes in the earth’s magnetic field.
These changes are caused by movement of ferrous metal objects such as a car in the proximity of the probe.
The sensing area of each probe is in the shape of a 15 foot circle. The size of this sensing area changes with the mass and speed of the moving vehicle.

The CarSense 202 can be buried in the ground about 8-10 inches deep parallel to the driveway. It may also be placed 2 inches deep in asphalt or concrete under the path of the vehicle. In all cases the probe must remain totally motionless and be free of vibration to prevent false detects. The lead-in cable must be protected from any damage to its outer insulation. Refer to the installation guide supplied with unit for full installation instructions.
