The unit provides diagnostic information by means of the Nortech DU100 and DU700 units. The PD17x provides 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 LEDs indicate whether a vehicle is present over the loop or if there is a fault on the loop.
Infinite memory retention of detector state on power failure (provided certain criteria are met refer to section 4.5). This function can be turned on and off via the Reset push button. 307UM0100_01 May 2016 PD17x User Manual Page 5 of 31...

3.1 Hardware setup The PD17x Series single channel parking detector is designed to be DIN rail mounted, with the controls and visual indicators at the front, and wiring at the rear of the enclosure. The power, loop and relay outputs are connected to the 11 pin relay base at back of the housing.
ON, Powerfail is now ON. The PD17x has a Powerfail function which has been designed to retain the memory of a vehicle on the loop in the event of a power fail situation. This is designed specifically for fail safe situations to retain the output state and prevent a glitch on the outputs, in the event of a power failure.

The Red Power LED indicates that the unit is powered and functional. The red LED is also used as a communication interface with the DU100 and DU700 to obtain diagnostics. 307UM0100_01 May 2016 PD17x User Manual Page 10 of 31...
DIP switches as indicated on the detector. Multiple sensitivity levels have been provided in the PD17x Series Detector, making it one of the more sensitive detectors available. The detection of small unwanted objects such as bicycles and trolleys may be eliminated by selecting lower sensitivity levels while high-bed vehicles and vehicle/trailer combinations will not lose detection by using Automatic Sensitivity Boost (ASB) option.
4.3 Types of Outputs The PD17x has one relay set to output presence on detect and the other to output a pulse on detect or undetect. When a relay is configured as a presence output, it will produce a continuous output during the presence of a vehicle over the inductive loop.
4.5 Powerfail The PD17x is designed with a Powerfail feature that allows it to remember its operating conditions and detect status in the event of power being removed. When power is restored, the unit continues operating from its saved conditions and status.
The PD17x Series parking detectors are rated to operate from -40°C to +80°C but the rate of temperature change MUST not exceed 1°C per minute. This system integrator MUST ensure that the housing used complies with this rate of temperature change requirement.
4. Running feeder cables in their own slots, separated by at least 300 mm. For additional information on Crosstalk refer to the section “Crosstalk Prevention” in the DU100 Diagnostic Unit User Manual Nortech Document No. 895UM0001. For information about resolving Crosstalk refer to the “Theory of Application” section in Diagnostic Unit DU100 User Manual Document No.
It is good practice at time of installation to construct adjacent loops with alternate three and four turn windings. For additional Information on loop geometry refer to the following documents: “INDUCTIVE LOOP VEHICLE DETECTION” – Nortech Doc. No. MKT0001. “TRAFFIC DETECTION” – Nortech Doc. No. MKT0002.
