One Technology. Two Installation Options.
Barrier Stop offers two wireless vehicle detection solutions built on proven wireless sensing technology, allowing customers to select the installation method best suited to their facility.
In-Ground Wireless Loop Detector
The In-Ground Wireless Loop Detector is installed flush with the pavement, providing a clean appearance while protecting the detector from vehicle traffic.
Using advanced sensing technology, it accurately detects vehicles and wirelessly communicates with the receiver for reliable gate and barrier operation.
Features include:
- Flush-mounted installation below pavement level
- Advanced vehicle sensing technology
- Long battery life of 6–10 years (traffic dependent)
- IP68 waterproof enclosure
- Wireless communication range of up to 50 yards
- Designed for permanent installations and high-traffic entrances
Recommended Applications
- New construction
- Commercial entrances
- Industrial facilities
- High-traffic access points
- Permanent automated gate systems
Surface-Mounted Wireless Loop Detector
The Surface-Mounted Wireless Loop Detector installs directly on existing pavement, making it an excellent solution where trenching or pavement cutting is not practical.
It is available in both Exit Mode and Presence Mode, providing flexible vehicle detection for a variety of applications.
Features include:
- Surface-mounted installation with minimal site preparation
- No core drilling or trenching required
- Exit Mode and Presence Mode options
- IP68-rated waterproof housing
- Operating temperature range from –4°F to 176°F
- Wireless communication range of 50–200 m (depending on transceiver model)
- Heavy-duty housing designed for demanding environments
Recommended Applications
- Retrofit projects
- Existing parking facilities
- Temporary installations
- Asphalt or concrete surfaces
- Locations where underground utilities prevent trenching
How It Works
Each detector monitors changes within its sensing area using integrated detection technology. Once a vehicle enters the detection zone, the unit securely transmits a wireless signal to the connected gate or barrier controller.
The system can be configured to:
- Activate gate opening when vehicles approach
- Hold gates open while vehicles remain in the detection zone
- Prevent premature gate or barrier closure
- Support both moving and stationary vehicle detection
Wireless communication eliminates most underground wiring while providing fast and dependable system response.
