VD959 Adjustable Diablo Ground Vehicle Sensor

The VD959 Adjustable Diablo Ground Vehicle Sensor is a market-leading ground vehicle sensor designed for reliable free exit vehicle detection in automatic gates, barriers, and access control systems. Offering a fast and cost-effective alternative to traditional induction loops, the VD959 significantly reduces installation time and groundwork by eliminating the need to cut loops into concrete or tarmac.

Designed for use with Diablo Controls free exit probes, the VD959 delivers accurate vehicle detection using advanced self-setting technology. Its intelligent, switchless design automatically adapts to most installations, providing true plug-and-play operation with no manual configuration required. Simply connect the sensor and it’s ready to operate, making it a popular choice for professional gate installers.

The detector features adjustable sensitivity, allowing precise vehicle detection in challenging environments where standard settings may not be suitable. Its compact, low-profile design enables discreet installation in a wide range of automatic gate and barrier applications, while fail secure operation helps maintain site security by keeping the gate in a secure state should a fault occur.

Designed for maximum efficiency, the VD959 operates over a wide low-voltage range and is ideally suited to solar-powered gate systems and other low-power installations. Supplied with a durable 22-metre cable, it offers excellent flexibility for installations where the control panel is positioned further from the detection point.

Unlike conventional induction loop systems, the VD959 requires minimal excavation, will not interfere with adjacent loop detectors, and provides a reliable solution for residential, commercial, industrial, and agricultural gate automation projects.

Important Notice

The VD959 Adjustable Diablo Ground Vehicle Sensor is designed exclusively for free exit vehicle detection and vehicle activation applications. It provides a pulse output when a vehicle passes over the sensor and must not be used as a safety loop or vehicle safety detection device. Where vehicle safety detection is required, a dedicated safety loop system should be installed in accordance with the gate manufacturer’s recommendations and current safety standards.

The VD959 Adjustable Diablo Ground Vehicle Sensor provides installers with a reliable, easy-to-install alternative to traditional induction loop systems, delivering accurate vehicle detection, reduced installation costs, and dependable long-term performance for automatic gate and barrier installations.
