INSTALLING STANDARD 11-PIN BOX TYPE VEHICLE DETECTORS
Installing Standard 11-Pin Box Type Vehicle Detectors
If standard 11-pin box type vehicle detectors are to be used, perform the following procedure.
1� If there is sufficient space, install the sockets in the control box; if not, then install them in a separate
external housing. Figure 14 is for general reference only.
Carefully consider your peripheral
connections. Any peripheral device
required for safe gate operation
should be attached 24VDC in case of
an AC power outage. Additionally,
box detectors with relays require
five times more power than HY5B
detectors, therefore UPS battery
life will be extended if using HY5B
detectors.
2� Connect 24 Volt power to the detector. Connect Pin No. 1 to a 24VAC or 24VDC terminal and Pin No.
2 to common. (You must provide your own power supply if 24VAC is required.)
3. Connect output Pin No. 6 to the Common Bus and output Pin No. 5 to one of the four detector
terminal inputs (depending upon the detector function required) on the SmartDC Controller.
4� If multiple detectors are used, route the power wires and common wire from socket to socket (daisy-
chaining) rather than individually running each wire to the same location. See Figure 14. The only
wires that are separate are the output wire to the SmartDC Controller and the detector loop input
wires.

Always keep the detector loop wires
well twisted at all places beyond the
area of the loop. The lead in portion
sealed in a saw cut does not need
to be twisted so long as the wires
are encapsulated in loop sealant
and cannot move. Refer to Installing
Vehicle Detectors and Loops.
