The VD909 Magnetic Ground Sensor provides a fast, reliable, and cost-effective solution for vehicle detection in automatic gate and barrier free exit systems. Designed to replace traditional induction loops, the VD909 eliminates the need for extensive groundwork, making installation quicker, cleaner, and far less disruptive.
Instead of cutting and laying loop cable, the sensor is simply installed into a 25mm drilled hole in the road surface, with a small channel cut for the pre-wired cable back to the controller. Once connected and backfilled, the sensor automatically self-calibrates for dependable vehicle detection with minimal setup required.
Ideal for residential, commercial, and industrial access control systems, the VD909 dramatically reduces installation time while delivering accurate vehicle sensing for free exit applications.
