Nortech PD132 Single Channel Loop Detector

Product Overview

Nortech PD132 loop detector is a 230V AC single-channel inductive vehicle detector for gate, barrier, parking, and access control systems in Abu Dhabi. It detects vehicle presence through an inductive loop installed under the road surface, helping automatic barriers and motorised gates respond safely and accurately. The PD132 belongs to Nortech’s 3-Series single-channel detector range and is suitable for parking control, motorised door, and gate applications. It includes adjustable sensitivity, adjustable loop frequency, loop isolation protection, and relay outputs for vehicle detection control where reliable access automation is required.

Compatibility and Installation Notes

Nortech PD132 should be installed with a correctly designed inductive ground loop, suitable feeder cable, and a compatible gate, barrier, or access control panel that supports vehicle detector relay input. Loop size, cable resistance, loop frequency, nearby loops, cabinet wiring, and relay mode must be checked before commissioning. Professional installation is recommended because poor loop cutting, incorrect sensitivity, or wrong relay wiring can cause missed detection, false triggers, or unsafe barrier movement. For technical product details, check the Nortech 3-Series detector documentation.
