    3. Features and Functions Solid-State Output The DSP-19 has one solid-state (open-drain) output. Solid-state outputs have several advantages over relay outputs: • Allows for a smaller form factor • Lower power consumption • Outputs do not have to be debounced (relay contact bounce when closing) •...

    The factory default is five (5). Like most inductive loop vehicle detectors, the DSP-19 directly measures the change in frequency of the loop and from there, calculates the change in inductance when a vehicle interacts with it. The change in inductance is measured as %ΔL/L (reads as “percent delta L over L”).

    Loop / Magnetometer (DIP Switch 3) The DSP-19 is capable of operating with either a standard inductive loop in the presence mode or the new mini- loop (magnetometer) in the pulse on entry mode. In the magnetometer mode of operation the detector will only hold a detection for 2 seconds.

    Fail-Safe / Fail-Secure (DIP Switch 6) On the DSP-19, the option for fail-safe or fail-secure only applies to the main output when in the inductive loop mode. In general, a fail-safe detector will activate the output when the loop circuit is failed. This is useful on a safety loop to prevent accidental closure of a gate on a vehicle.
  • Page 12: Output Connector

    Output Connector The DSP-19 connects as typical through its rear 9-pin connector. That is, loop inputs and power inputs. However, the main output is through the 2-pin connector located on the top of the detector. The connector is a typical Euro style screw terminal block.

    Wiring: If plugging the detector in to the operator, you should be certain that the operator pin-out for its connector is the same as that of the DSP-19 detector and that the voltage supplied to the detector is between 10 and 30 volts DC.

    Mini-Loop in half and does not allow for different sensitivites for the two Mini-Loops. The second is to use another DSP-19 with it’s own Mini-Loop installed on the opposite side of the roadway. In this configuration both Mini-Loops have full sensitivity and their sensitivities are individually adjustable.

    If you have a single loop, using a megohm meter to check the health of the insulation of the loop wire is the best test to verify that the loop needs to be replaced. A reading of less than 50 megohms is indication that your loop is having problems and needs to be replaced. DSP-19 User Manual Page 22 of 24 DSP19_MAN_A...
