INTRODUCTION
The PD160 Enhanced Series Single Channel Inductive Loop Vehicle Detector is a microprocessor
based detector designed specifically for parking and vehicle access control applications. It is suited
primarily to complex multilane access control and counting applications. Using the most up-to-date
technology, the PD160 has been designed in order to meet the requirements of a vast number of
parking applications (in terms of operating conditions and options available to the user).
The primary function of the detector is to detect vehicle presence by means of an inductance change
caused by the vehicle passing over a wire loop buried under the road surface.
The detector has been designed for ease of installation and convenience. With the on-board
diagnostics and automatic frequency selection to assist with installation, as well as customisable
outputs, the product is easily configurable to suit most applications.
With the introduction of the easy to operate LCD menu system, settings can be changed for
frequency, sensitivity, presence modes, as well as configurable and interchangeable output
combinations. The menu also provides access to a host of diagnostic and statistic information.
Over and above the LCD menu system, the PD160 provides additional visual outputs (LED’s) on the
front of the enclosure to provide an indication of the state of the channel as well as the detector itself.
The channel LED indicates whether a vehicle is present over the loop or there is a fault on the loop
while the power LED indicates that the unit has been powered and is operational or whether the
channel has recovered from a fault.
The unit has relay change-over contacts on the 11 pin connector at the rear of the enclosure, for
providing outputs as selected through the menu system.
