EMX CarSense101 Instruction Manual

Instruction Manual
The CarSense101 operates by detecting the movement of vehicles near the probe with an adjustable
detection range up to 12 feet at a minimum speed of 5 mph. The CS101 will only detect a moving
vehicle and will not detect a stationary vehicle. It may be used as a free exit sensor to allow gates
to open and guests to exit without the use of a key fob or passcode. The CS101 may also be wired
to notify a home automation system or security system that a vehicle is moving down a driveway. This
vehicle motion detector requires a probe that is ordered separately and available in 50, 100, or
150 foot lead lengths.

Cautions and Warnings

The CS101 is designed to detect moving vehicles. It is not suitable for use as a vehicle
presence detector such as a reversing loop for a gate or door.
The CS101 detects ferrous metals. It will not detect aluminum, but will detect any
moving ferrous metallic object.
The probe must be stationary to function properly.
