An Overview of the CarSense 101
The CarSense 101 vehicle motion detector consists of a control module with a standard 11-pin connector and a sensing probe that is easily installed along a roadway. The CS101 can be seamlessly integrated with security control boards, gate and door operators.
The CS101 provides a solution for many vehicle detection challenges, including:
- Safety – detects moving vehicles in blind areas along a driving path and actuates warning lights
- Security – detects approaching vehicles or unauthorized movement of parked vehicles and actuates alarms, video cameras or other annunciators
- Access control – acts as a free exit vehicle detector for gates, overhead doors and parking barriers
Features
- Controls and indicators are mounted on front panel
- Available in 9 – 41 VDC 6 – 29 VAC
- Low 2.5 mA standby current consumption, makes it an excellent choice for solar power applications.
- Housed in a small, relay-type housing
- Surge protection
