Cautions and Warnings
Never use the CS101™ as a safety reversing or presence detection system.
The CS101™ requires that a vehicle be moving for detection. This product is
an accessory or part of a system. Always read and follow the manufacturer’s
instructions of the equipment before connecting this product. Comply with
all applicable codes and safety regulations. Failure to do so may result in
damage, injury or death.
DO NOT INSTALL PROBE IN HOT ASPHALT
PROVIDE AN EARTH GROUND CONNECTION USING GROUND ROD PER
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
DO NOT EXCEED POWER SUPPLY VOLTAGE RATING 41VDC or 29VAC
ALLOW 5 MINUTES AFTER POWER UP FOR STABILIZATION
CS101 is sensitive to metal objects that move through its field, including
bicycles, horses, small vehicles or metal in shoes. Reduce the sensitivity as
required to eliminate detection. In areas with high pedestrian traffic, the
probe may be buried up to 24” deep to prevent triggering the detector by the
metal in shoes.
Product Overview
The CS101™ is a compact vehicle motion detector that operates by detecting changes in the earth’s
magnetic field that occur near the probe. These changes are produced by the movement of ferrous
materials such as cars or trucks within the probe’s range. The CS101 uses the CS101 series direct
burial probes placed adjacent to a roadway or buried in a concrete or asphalt roadway.
The probe features a 12ft. detection range that is dependent on the speed and size of the vehicle. The
probe is available in a wide variety of cable lengths.
The CS101 features adjustable sensitivity and output “on” time. A green LED is indicates that power is
applied to the unit while a red LED indicates detection. The output consists of form C relay contacts
(N.O, N.C., C).
The CS101 may be used as a free exit sensor in both commercial and residential applications.
The detector is not for use as a presence detector.
When presence detection is needed, use the EMX
D-TEK series detectors and inductive loop.
