  • Page 5: Introduction

    The switches allow for different loop frequency settings, sensitivity settings and mode settings. The PD130 Enhanced Vehicle Detector provides visual output (LED) on the front of the enclosure and relay change-over contacts are taken on the 11 pin connector at the rear of the enclosure. The LED indicates the power has been applied to the unit, that a vehicle is present over the loop and if there is a fault on the loop.

  • Page 9: Operating Procedure

    OPERATING PROCEDURE Hardware Set-Up The PD130 Enhanced Vehicle single channel parking detector is designed to be shelf or 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 all connected to the single 11-pin plug, which is mounted at the rear of the enclosure.

    This condition can be restored by removing the power or by depressing the reset button. The green LED will also glow whenever a vehicle is detected passing over the inductive loop. 301UM0030_01 PD130 Enhanced Vehicle Detector User Manual Page: 11 of 29...
  • Page 12: Principal Of Operation

    The nature of the application determines the required sensitivity, which may be adjusted by means of the sensitivity switches on the front of the enclosure. Sensitivity levels of the PD130 Enhanced Vehicle Detector have been carefully optimised for parking and vehicle access control applications. The detection of small unwanted objects such as bicycles and trolleys can be eliminated by selecting lower sensitivity levels whilst high-bed vehicles and vehicle/trailer combinations will not lose detection by using Automatic Sensitivity Boost (ASB) option.
  • Page 13: Modes Of Operation

    The response time of the detector is the time taken from when a vehicle moves over the loop to when the detector gives an output. The response times of the PD130 Enhanced Vehicle Detector has been adjusted to prevent false operation in electrically noisy environments, but retain adequate response to vehicles in parking and vehicle access control applications.

  • Page 22: Du100 - Detector Diagnostic Unit

    DU100 – Detector Diagnostic Unit The DU100 Diagnostic unit is a hand-held test instrument that has been designed to operate with the PD130 Enhanced detector to provide installation / service personnel with positive verification of the correct installation and operation of the vehicle detector.
  • Page 23: Frequency Drift

    8.3.2 Frequency drift The PD130 Enhanced Detector can handle environmental conditions that cause the frequency to drift up to at a rate of approximating 1 %∆L/L per minute. If the Drift reading approaches this value the detector will have problems tracking the environmental change.
