Product Overview
Nortech PD132 Vehicle Detector is an enhanced single channel inductive loop detector designed for parking boom gate control, vehicle access control, motorised gates, doors, and industrial control systems. It detects vehicle presence through an inductance change when a vehicle passes over a wire loop buried under the road surface. The official Nortech PD132 version is listed as a 240V AC model with advanced diagnostic capability, permanent presence selection, loop protection, frequency indication, and dual relay outputs. It is a practical solution for Abu Dhabi parking entrances, controlled access lanes, and automated barrier systems requiring reliable loop-based vehicle detection.

Compatibility and Installation Notes
Nortech PD132 Vehicle Detector is compatible with inductive loop vehicle detection systems that require a 240V AC single channel detector with presence and pulse relay outputs. Installation requires a correctly designed buried loop, proper wiring to the 11-pin connector, suitable frequency selection to reduce crosstalk, and correct sensitivity adjustment for the site conditions. Professional installation is recommended because loop geometry, grounding, relay wiring, and safety integration directly affect barrier performance and vehicle protection. For wiring, switch settings, and technical setup guidance, refer to the official technical details.
