Product Details

 

Detect the presence of vehicles with high accuracy by using the next generation above-ground vehicle sensors with flexible range.

 

The OPTEX OVS-02 is the perfect sensing solution for automatic gates and barriers as it easy to install above-ground on a wall, pole or barrier housing, replacing the ground loop and functioning as a "Virtual Loop". This makes it suitable for almost any application. Especially when there is a difficulty in the installment environment like the type of road surface or restrictions due to legislation. The sensor can be for traffic management, vehicle protection, and security purposes. 

 

Reliable and flexible vehicle detection

The OVS-0GT presence and activation vehicle detection sensor for automatic gates, barriers and industrial doors offers excellent short- and long-range detection up to 8 meters and a wide-angle adjustment of 90º to 95º. It detects stationary or moving vehicles up to 35km/h of all materials and has a visible indicator light. It suits simple gate activation applications as well as being part of state-of-the-art parking systems and is available in black (standard) and grey (optional).

Easy above-ground installation

The above-ground installation makes it a less invasive solution for a variety of locations where a ground loop is not possible or even allowed. After simply mounting the sensor 50cm from the ground on a barrier housing, wall or pole, the setup can easily be performed via a dedicated app called "Virtual Loop" on a mobile device like smartphone or tablet with only a few buttons.

Excellent performance

The OVS-02GT is not affected by ground movement and is able to ignore pedestrian traffic to avoid unnecessary activations. The microwave technology, built in heater, and IP66 & NEMA4 rating ensure a reliable detection in cold or humid weather conditions and dust.

Vehicle protection

Due to the presence detection the sensor offers safety measures such as anti-hit protection where it can prevent a barrier hitting a car by closing before the vehicle is through

Location solutions

The OVS-02GT vehicle sensor is an ideal solution for many locations and can reliably replace the use of a ground loop in situations:

  • Where digging is not possible:
    Resin bound driveways, stone/brick pavements.
  • Where civil engineering is not possible:
    Public areas, post tensioned concrete, steel grating cover drains.
  • Locations where loop malfunctions are caused:
    Damaged surfaces, surfaces prone flood, malfunctions by ice or snow.

Applications

Automatic swing and sliding gates, barriers and bi-folding high speed doors can be activated easily with the OVS-02GT sensor. It provides above ground sensing technology for commercial sites, parking’s, secures car parks and residential applications. Due to the double output, it can also activate a ticketing machine or signalling light at the same time.

Gate Automation

Please select what type of automation you require for your gate/s. Double & Single Swing refer to motors which attach to the gate and pillar of a swing motion gate. Double & Single Underground refer to motors which lay beneath the ground which attach to the hinge end of swing motion gates. Choose Sliding if you require lateral moving gate automation and Wheeled if you require a motor which utilises a wheeled motor to drive your gate/s.

Motor Voltage

There are two types of power outputs to consider - 24v & 230v. If you need a higher number of operations (opened/closed more than 5-6 times in an hour) during peak periods such as the morning and evening, then you may wish to consider a 24v system.

24v systems are more suitable for higher operation levels as they tend to run cooler than 230v gate motors. However, they do cost more in relative terms, so if you only need to open or close the gate 1-5 times an hour then a 230v system might prove more cost-efficient.

24v motors tend to be used on commercial premises, whereas 230v tend to be used on standard domestic properties. The exception to this rule is sliding gate motors where the reverse is true - 24v sliding gate automation systems tend to be for domestic use, 230v for more intense use (commercial/communal).

24v systems can draw power from battery backup systems meaning they can still operate during any mains power cut (a 230v or 3 phase system would need to be opened with a manual release key).

24v systems can also utilise solar power units as a means of charging batteries, allowing you to site gate automation in rural and remote locations where mains power is unavailable.

Specifications can be found for each product from their datasheet. Each datasheet is downloadable from each product page on this website.

Weight of Gate

All electric gate motors operate up to a maximum weight. This is so the gate will operate in a reliable and safe manner. It is essential to know the weight of each gate leaf in order to choose the correct motor for you installation. If you do not know the weight of your gate/s, send us a photo along with the gate/s dimensions and we can advise.

Gate Width

As with weight, gate motors are designed for gates within certain dimensions. The most important dimension is the width of the gate. To ensure you select the right motor to operate your gate you must know the width of each gate that requires automation.

Opening Angle

Each motor has a maximum angle to which it can operate to. Therefore it is important to note how far the gate needs to open in order for a vehicle to enter/exit safely.

Daily Use

The amount of times your gate is used per day is a determining factor when deciding on the right motor for your usage. Motors are designed to operate within a certain capacity (operations per day) so choosing a motor compatible with your desired use is essential for its durability. Select from the options below the number of times (open & closure = 1 x operation) the gate/s will be operated on an average day.
