StrongArm Installation and Reference 38
Vehicle Detector Installation Options
The Smart Touch Controller provides a feature rich interface to four different vehicle detector inputs.
Standard box type 11 pin (24 Volt DC or 24 Volt AC) vehicle detectors may be connected in the
traditional manner, see page 38. HySecurity also offers a custom mini detector module that plugs
directly into the Smart Touch Control board. Not only is the field installation much faster, but there is also
a large performance benefit. The HySecurity HY-5A detector is controlled by the Smart Touch
microprocessor to achieve many benefits over common box type detectors*
a. Loop frequency is automatically set and monitored
by the Smart Touch Controller
b. Cross talk between multiple loops is impossible
c. The best operating frequency for each loop is
automatically chosen
d. Smart Touch can report the both loop frequency and
call strength on its LCD display
e. Smart Touch will report loop malfunctions and store
this data in its EEprom memory
f. Most detector or loop faults that could occur are
reported and displayed on the LCD display
There are four vehicle detector inputs available both on the main terminal strip and as direct plug in
modules. The vehicle detector inputs are for the following functions:
1. Free Exit Loop Detector
– “ELD”
2. Outside Obstruction Loop Detector – “OOLD” (this is the outside reversing loop)
3. Inside Obstruction Loop Detector
– “IOLD” (this is the inside reversing loop)
4. Reset Loop Detector
– “RLD” (this is used to trigger a Barrier Arm gate closed)
*A combination of HY-5A detectors and standard box detectors is acceptable
It is not mandatory to use the inner or outer obstruction detector inputs for a barrier arm.
The obstruction detector inputs are primarily used for sliding and swing type security gates. The primary
loops for most barrier arm systems are for the Reset Loop Detector and the Free Exit Loop Detector.
