Spike Systems Loop Detector - EC-LMA-1150

The Spike Systems EC-LMA-1150 Loop Detector is engineered for accurate vehicle detection in automated gate and traffic control systems. It supports a broad voltage range and allows fine-tuned sensitivity across ten adjustable levels for optimal performance in varied conditions. A bright LED display provides real-time feedback for sensitivity, frequency, and loop faults, while built-in surge and lightning protection guard against power fluctuations. With configurable Fail Safe or Fail Secure operation and support for all major access controllers, the EC-LMA-1150 is an ideal choice for precise detection in security, parking, and industrial entry systems.

Specifications:

• Voltage Range: LMA-1150-LV operates on 12VDC, 24VDC, and 24VAC; LMA-1150-HV operates on 120VAC and 240VAC
• Loop Inductance Range: 20 to 2500 micro Henries
• Sensitivity Levels: Ten adjustable levels (0 to 9) via front panel UP/DOWN buttons
• Deflectometer: 7-segment LED display provides feedback for sensitivity, frequency, loop faults, and timing functions
• Sensitivity Meter: Displays loop performance; optimal sensitivity reading is 5 for accurate vehicle detection, including motorcycles and high-bed vehicles
• Frequency Meter: Displays 2-3 digit loop frequency after power-up or reset; maintain 5 KHz separation between loops to prevent crosstalk
• Loop Fault Monitoring: Continuously checks for open loops, shorted loops, and sudden 25% inductance changes
• Loop Fault Memory: Non-volatile memory stores and displays current and previous loop faults; data retained through power loss
• Call Output Memory: Retains call state for power interruptions lasting 4 seconds or less
• Delay and Extension Timing: 2-second call delay; selectable 2, 5, or 10-second call extension
• Frequency Levels: Four selectable frequency channels
• Configuration Options: Fail Safe and Fail Secure modes
• Protection Features: Automatic tuning with lightning and surge protection
• Indicators: Separate color-coded LEDs for operational status and loop conditions
• Compatibility: Works with all radio controls and remote openers
• Sensitivity Boost: Ensures reliable detection of all vehicle types
