EMX USB-LP-2 Manual

Low-voltage vehicle loop detector with usb functionality and two loop channels

Quick Links

The USB-LP-2 vehicle detector senses metallic objects near connected induction loops. The detector is
able to simultaneously monitor two vehicle detection loops and provide vehicle presence indication for
each loop separately. Each loop channel has two configurable relay outputs (four total) that can be used
to transmit vehicle presence status to a gate/door operator. The USB-LP-2 also has a USB communication
interface that can be used to change settings and receive vehicle detection information in real time. The
detector has mounting holes to attach the provided DIN rail mounts for easy and seamless mounting.

Summary of Contents for EMX USB-LP-2

  • Page 1 Each loop channel has two configurable relay outputs (four total) that can be used to transmit vehicle presence status to a gate/door operator. The USB-LP-2 also has a USB communication interface that can be used to change settings and receive vehicle detection information in real time. The detector has mounting holes to attach the provided DIN rail mounts for easy and seamless mounting.
  • Page 2 DIP switches or USB. This will flip which terminals are normally open and closed. USB Connector The USB-LP-2 has a single USB Mini-B connector located to the left of the screw terminals. This USB interface can be used to receive real-time detection status and reprogram settings/sensitivity. For more information on USB communication, go to page 7.
