Full Product Description — e-Loop Light Industrial Wireless Vehicle Detector

Purpose-Built for Australian Light Industrial Environments

Exit Mode, Presence Mode & Parking Mode Explained

One of the defining characteristics of the e-Loop Light Industrial is its support for three distinct operational modes, each tailored to a different vehicle management scenario:

Exit Mode delivers a single momentary trigger pulse to the paired e-Trans receiver when a vehicle enters the detection zone. This is the standard configuration for driveway exit sensors and vehicle exit detectors — signalling a gate or barrier to open as a vehicle approaches to leave a site. The gate then closes on its normal timer or safety edge signal. Exit Mode is the most common configuration for automated gate systems at industrial sites, warehouses, and logistics centres across Australia.

Presence Mode sends a continuous pulse and latches the relay output, holding the gate or barrier open for the entire duration that a vehicle is detected within the sensor's zone. When the vehicle clears the area, the relay releases, allowing the gate to close. This mode is ideal for loading dock management, where vehicles must be stationary for extended periods during loading and unloading, and the gate or door must remain securely open throughout. It is important to note that Presence Mode is designed for vehicle detection only and should not be used as a personal safety device for pedestrian protection.

Parking Mode operates on the same principle as Presence Mode — latching the relay when a vehicle is detected — but features slower latch and release speeds, making it better suited to lower-traffic parking and storage areas. It also consumes less power, extending battery life in applications with longer dwell times.

Modes can be changed at any time using the included magnet on the sensor's magnetic recesses or remotely using the e-Loop Connect mobile app, available free for both Android and iPhone devices. The app also enables access to advanced diagnostics, radar range adjustment, and confirmation mode — providing complete remote management without the need to physically access the sensor.

Wireless Technology & Secure Transmission

The e-Loop Light Industrial transmits over the 433.39 MHz FSK frequency band with a nominal output power of 14 dBm. All transmissions are encrypted with 128-bit AES encryption, preventing signal interception, cloning, or replay attacks — a critical feature for security-sensitive industrial sites. The system is compatible with the full range of e-Loop e-Trans receivers (e-Trans 20, 50, 100 and 200), which provide standard relay outputs for integration with existing gate controllers, access control systems and barrier operators commonly used across Australian commercial and industrial facilities.

Pairing with an e-Trans receiver can be performed in two ways: short-range coding by holding the magnet on the e-Loop's code recess while pressing the code button on the nearby e-Trans unit, or long-range coding for situations where the transmitter and receiver are already deployed at a distance.

Intelligent Auto-Calibration

The e-Loop Light Industrial features adaptive auto-calibration that continuously monitors and adjusts to the electromagnetic environment surrounding the sensor. This eliminates false triggers caused by changes in ground composition, nearby metalwork, or environmental drift, which commonly affect fixed inductive loops. After installation on a clean, flat, level surface, the sensor will automatically calibrate within approximately 5 minutes. If the sensor is relocated, a manual recalibration procedure is required using the included magnet — a simple three-step process that takes only seconds.

Optimal Mounting for Maximum Detection Performance

To achieve consistent and reliable detection, the e-Loop Light Industrial should be mounted centrally on the most frequently driven path, with the directional arrow facing toward the gate. The mounting surface must be clean, flat, and level — uneven terrain, debris, or rocks can compromise calibration accuracy and risk physical damage to the housing. The unit should not be mounted in areas prone to flooding without adequate drainage, near high-voltage cables, or in proximity to strong electromagnetic interference sources. The sensor must be firmly secured with the provided fasteners and must not move once installed.

Benefits of the e-Loop Light Industrial for Australian Businesses

Eliminate Costly Ground Works

Traditional inductive loop detectors require saw-cutting the road surface, embedding loop wire, filling and sealing the cut, and running conduit to a control panel. The e-Loop Light Industrial requires none of this — delivering significant cost savings on installation, particularly relevant for existing facilities in Australia where resurfacing work is expensive and disruptive.

Zero Operational Downtime During Installation

Because the e-Loop mounts above ground and requires no electrical connection to the site's power infrastructure, installation can typically be completed in under an hour without closing the facility or disrupting vehicle flow. This is particularly valuable for high-throughput logistics centres, warehouses and factories that operate around the clock.

Flexible Mode Selection for Multiple Use Cases

A single product model supports Exit, Presence and Parking modes — meaning one SKU can address multiple detection scenarios across your site. Modes can be changed remotely via the app, avoiding the need to replace hardware as operational requirements evolve.

Secure, Encrypted Signal Transmission

128-bit AES encryption on all wireless communications ensures that the vehicle detection system cannot be compromised by signal interception or spoofing — providing confidence for security-conscious industrial and commercial facilities.

Reduced Maintenance Burden

Set-and-forget auto-calibration means the sensor continually adapts to its environment without operator intervention, reducing the maintenance overhead associated with traditional inductive loop systems which are prone to detuning, wire breaks, and false triggers over time.

App-Based Remote Diagnostics

The e-Loop Connect app gives operators visibility of battery level, signal strength, current mode, and diagnostic data — enabling proactive maintenance and rapid fault identification without dispatching a technician to site.

Rugged Design for Australian Conditions

IP68 ingress protection and a −40°C to +80°C temperature range ensure the sensor performs in Australia's extreme and varied climate, from tropical humidity in Darwin and Cairns to summer heat in Western Australia and winter frosts in Victoria and Tasmania.

Installation Overview — How to Set Up the e-Loop Light Industrial

The e-Loop Light Industrial is designed for quick, straightforward above-ground installation. The following is a summary of the setup process. For complete step-by-step instructions, refer to the Instruction Manual.

1. Step 1 — Coding / Pairing with e-Trans Receiver: Use either short-range coding (hold magnet on CODE recess of e-Loop while pressing the CODE button on the e-Trans receiver until LEDs confirm pairing) or long-range coding (hold magnet until Yellow LED flashes, then activate the e-Trans CODE button) to wirelessly pair the sensor with its receiver.
2. Step 2 — Mounting: Clean the desired mounting location of all dirt and debris. Mount the e-Loop on a clean, flat, level surface in the centre of the most frequently driven path. Ensure the directional arrow faces toward the gate. Secure firmly using the included fasteners. Reinstall dust caps on all screw holes. Do not mount near high-voltage cables, on uneven terrain, in flood-prone areas without drainage, or on irregular or sharp ground surfaces.
3. Step 3 — Calibration: Remove all metallic objects from the vicinity. Hold the magnet in the SET recess until the Red LED flashes twice, then remove the magnet. The e-Loop will calibrate within approximately 5 seconds, confirmed by 3 Red LED flashes. If the sensor is moved after calibration, it must be recalibrated. Alternatively, the unit will self-calibrate automatically within 5 minutes if left undisturbed.
4. Step 4 — Mode Selection (Optional): The default mode is Presence Mode. To change to Exit or Parking Mode, use the included magnet on the appropriate magnetic recess or use the e-Loop Connect app. Refer to the instruction manual for the LED confirmation sequences for each mode.

Important Installation Warnings: Always install in accordance with the fitment notes in the instruction manual. Failure to do so may void the product warranty. The e-Loop Light Industrial should not be used in Presence Mode as a personal safety device — it is designed exclusively for vehicle detection.

Frequently Asked Questions — Wireless Vehicle Detector (Australia)

What is a wireless vehicle detector, and how does it work?

A wireless vehicle detector is a sensor that identifies the presence or movement of a vehicle and transmits a trigger signal wirelessly — without physical wiring — to a receiver or gate controller. The e-Loop Light Industrial uses a combination of radar sensing and magnetometer technology. When a vehicle enters the detection zone, the sensor detects the vehicle's mass and metallic signature, encrypts the trigger signal using 128-bit AES, and transmits wirelessly to the paired e-Trans receiver at 433.39 MHz FSK, which then activates the relay output to open a gate, barrier, or trigger an alert.

What is the difference between Exit Mode and Presence Mode on the e-Loop Light Industrial?

Exit Mode sends a single momentary pulse to the receiver when a vehicle is detected — ideal for triggering a gate to open as a vehicle approaches to exit a site. Presence Mode sends a continuous pulse and latches the relay, holding the gate open for as long as the vehicle remains within the detection zone — suited to loading docks and areas where the gate must stay open during vehicle dwell time. Parking Mode is similar to Presence Mode, with a slower latch/release and lower power consumption, making it better suited to parking and storage applications.

Does the e-Loop Light Industrial require any wiring or ground cutting to install?

No. The e-Loop Light Industrial is completely wireless and battery-powered, requiring no ground cutting, no trenching, and no electrical wiring. It mounts above ground using the included fasteners and communicates wirelessly with compatible e-Trans receivers. This makes it ideal for retrofitting existing driveways, loading docks or factory gates without disrupting the surface or operational flow.

Is the e-Loop Light Industrial suitable for outdoor use in Australian conditions?

Yes. The EL00LI carries an IP68 ingress protection rating — fully sealed against dust and continuous water immersion — and operates across an extreme temperature range of −40°C to +80°C. This makes it well-suited to Australia's varied climate conditions across all states and territories, including tropical, arid, alpine and temperate zones.

What is the wireless detection range of the e-Loop Light Industrial?

The radar detection system provides a 60° field of view with a default read distance of 1.8 m, a maximum range of 2.0 m, and a minimum read distance of 0.2 m. The magnetometer provides tiered detection sensitivity at 0.5 m, 1.0 m and 1.5 m ranges. Wireless radio transmission range between the sensor and the paired e-Trans receiver depends on site conditions and the selected e-Trans model.

How long do the batteries last in the e-Loop Light Industrial?

Battery life is influenced by daily activation frequency, activation duration, radar range setting, and environmental conditions. The unit is powered by 4 × 3.6V, 2700 mAh batteries with an extremely low standby draw of just 14 µA. At 50 activations per day, battery life is substantially longer than at higher activation frequencies, such as 300+ per day. The e-Loop Connect app provides real-time battery status diagnostics.

Can I change the operating mode after installation without removing the sensor?

Yes. Mode changes are made in two ways: physically using the included magnet on the sensor's magnetic recesses (no tools required), or remotely via the free e-Loop Connect mobile app for Android and iPhone. The app also enables radar range adjustment, confirmation mode configuration, and access to diagnostics — all without physically interacting with the sensor.

Does the e-Loop require recalibration if moved to a different location?

Yes. Once calibrated, the e-Loop requires recalibration whenever it is physically moved to a new location. Recalibration is performed using the included magnet on the SET recess in a simple three-step process. If the sensor is not moved, it will automatically self-calibrate within approximately 5 minutes of being powered on.

Is the e-Loop Light Industrial compatible with existing gate automation systems in Australia?

The e-Loop Light Industrial pairs with e-Loop's e-Trans receiver range (e-Trans 20, 50, 100 and 200), which provides standard relay outputs for integration with most gate automation controllers, barrier systems, and access control panels commonly used across Australian commercial and industrial sites. Always confirm relay output compatibility with your specific gate controller or automation brand before purchasing.

What applications is the e-Loop Light Industrial suited to in Australia?

The EL00LI is suited to a broad range of Australian applications including: driveway exit detection for industrial estates, loading bay presence monitoring, factory perimeter gate automation, service yard entry and exit control, logistics centre vehicle flow management, warehousing gate triggers, mining site access control, rural property gate automation, car park exit detection, and retrofit replacement of failed inductive loop detectors.

What is the model number of the e-Loop Light Industrial, and where can I find the instruction manual?

The model number is EL00LI. The full instruction manual is available for download in PDF format from Installation Manuals

Is the e-Loop Light Industrial compliant with Australian standards?

The e-Loop Light Industrial is tested and certified to EN 301 489-1 V2.2.3 (ElectroMagnetic Compatibility standard for radio equipment) and EN 55032 (Electromagnetic compatibility of multimedia equipment emissions).

Can the e-Loop Light Industrial be used as a pedestrian or personal safety device?

No. The e-Loop Light Industrial is designed exclusively for vehicle detection. It must not be used as a personal safety device for pedestrian protection. Presence Mode in particular — which holds a gate open while detecting mass — is not a substitute for safety edges, photocells or other certified personal safety devices required by Australian Standards for automated gate systems.
