suppression as specified by EN61000-4-5.

 

Not to be used in safety applications. 

 

IMPORTANT: 

This product is an accessory or part of a system.  Always read and follow the manufacturer’s

Product Overview 

  

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 
 

 
The CarSense 303 features advanced 3-axis, magnetoresistive sensing technology.  The sensor 
measures Earth’s magnetic field and responds to disturbances caused by ferrous objects.  The 
CS303  combines  this  exciting  new  technology  with  a  field-proven  hardware  platform  to 
produce a high-sensitivity, compact, cost-effective solution for reliable vehicle detection.  Three 
sensing  elements  provide  magnetic  field  measurement  in  the  X,  Y  and  Z  axes,  improving 
detection sensitivity. 

 

 

Three-dimensional  presence detection of vehicles 

 

Select X, Y and/or Z axis independently 

 

Stand-alone sensor with solid-state output 

 

Sensor stores ambient background and settings in non-volatile memory 

 

Remote control module for programming and additional relay contact output 

 

Fast response for high-speed detection 

 

Easy, low-cost installation

display indicates the sensitivity setting required to detect a vehicle 

 

Logic Interface available for extended detection, A/B directional logic and more 

 

Detect-On-Stop  (DOS®)  feature  will  allow  detection  only  when  a  vehicle  has  come  to  a 
complete stop on the sensor. This is a worldwide unique feature to EMX detectors. It is a 
major advantage if you want to ignore cross traffic in tight spaces.
