(DSP-13M) and a sensor (DSP-13S). The advanced sensor’s small size and high sensitivity make it ideally suited to vehicle detection applications. The DSP-13 Master uses a 10-pin Molex connector for connections. This can be plugged into a Diablo Controls RK- 1R or RK-3R rack.
The type of vehicle will determine the actual point of detection. Larger vehicles will be sensed further away. The following chart is based on an SUV. Figure 2: Detection Pattern and Range DSP-13 User Manual Page 5 of 24 DSP13_MAN_G...
Pulse on Entry Detection Presence Detection NOTE: If using the supplied RK-1-R to plug the DSP-13 Master in to, Output B will not be available. Contact Diablo Controls for the availability of other RK products that do support the use of Output B.
Care should be taken to ensure that the DSP-13 is not reset while any vehicles or objects are in or near the detection zone. These vehicles or objects may cause a permanent offset in the reference readings for the sensor and may impact correct operations of the sensor.
PRIOR MASTER FAILURE The DSP-13 is equipped with the ability to remember prior master faults that have occurred since the last power interruption or reset. The LED will flash off once for 150 milliseconds once every two seconds (one flash) and then repeat the sequence until power is cycled or the DSP-13 is reset.
NORMAL The LED is always on when the DSP-13 is in its normal state of operation with no prior failure in memory. Figure 5: Power LED Displays Detect LED – The red Detect LED is used to display the status of Output A, the detection zone, and reset information.
In this mode, the outputs are connected to DC common when the output is off and floating when the output is on. Both the A and the B outputs are affected by the operating mode. DSP-13 User Manual Page 12 of 24...

DSP-13M is in the normally open mode of operation. If the two LEDs flash opposite of each other, the DSP-13M is in the normally closed mode of operation. DSP-13 User Manual Page 13 of 24...
DSP-13M. Press the reset button on the DSP-13M with no vehicles in the detection area. Test for no detection of gate movement and proper detection of vehicles. Congratulations, you are now ready for operation. DSP-13 User Manual Page 14 of 24...
Connect power and the DSP-13S lead-in cable to the RK1-R. The DSP-13S is auto polarity sensing, so it does not matter which way the two wires are connected. The shield drain wire for the DSP-13S must be connected to an earth ground for best performance. DSP-13 User Manual Page 15 of 24 DSP13_MAN_G...
Installation Practices: The sensors can be installed in several different ways depending on the type of driving surface and if the site is new construction or existing. DSP-13 User Manual Page 16 of 24 DSP13_MAN_G...
Never use a continuous piece of backer rod over the sensor and cable, as this would prevent the sealant from encapsulating the sensor and cable. NOTE: Backer rod is available at most home improvement stores and in several sizes. DSP-13 User Manual Page 17 of 24 DSP13_MAN_G...
1” conduit. Now that the 1” conduit is sealed, fill the sleeve with sand (1” from the top if a sealant will be used to cap the sleeve). DSP-13 User Manual Page 18 of 24...
DSP-13 Master will be easily accessible for configuration and troubleshooting. Wiring: When the DSP-13 Master is plugged in to a rack, the rack will provide and identify the wiring connection points. This document will discuss using the Diablo Controls RK1-R that ships with the DSP-13.
5 will work well. If motorcycle detection is required, you may need to use a higher setting. One second after changing the sensitivity setting, the DSP-13 Master will automatically reset itself to implement the new sensitivity setting.
It should be noted that a power failure will always result in a fail-secure operation. Fail-safe operation is only available when a valid input voltage is applied to the DSP-13 Master. When an output is configured for pulse mode the output will always operate in the fail-secure mode.
No Power LED Use a meter to measure the voltage applied to the DSP-13 Master. The voltage must be DC and above 8 volts. If the correct voltage is applied and the power LED is not on, replace the DSP-13 Master.
Power LED Flashes Off Every Two Seconds These flashes indicate that the detection system has had a failure but is currently working correctly. There are three types of failures that the DSP-13 Master will remember: Flashes Remembered Failure Possible Corrective Actions DSP13M Failure Loose connection in circuit to DSP13S.
Adjust the sensitivity by one level higher at a time and recheck for proper detection. If the sensitivity is set to 9 and the red LED still does not come on, swap the DSP-13 Master between a working DSP-13 Master and the DSP-13 Master with the issue. If the problem follows the sensor, the sensor is the problem.
