ULT-PLG™ Operating Instructions 2

Document no. 10180904

Cautions and Warnings

CE REQUIREMENT: Use EMX pre-formed loops with built-in surge

suppression for CE compliance. Connect shield on lead in wire to

earth ground.

CE REQUIREMENT: Use CE rated power supply for CE compliance

providing suppression as specified by EN61000-4-5.

Not to be used in personal safety applications.

When more than one loop detector is used, set each one to a different

frequency.

Refer to DIP switch diagram for frequency settings.

IMPORTANT:

This product is an accessory or part of a system. Always read and follow the manufacturer’s

instructions for the equipment before connecting this product. Comply with all applicable codes and

safety regulations. Failure to do so may result in damage, injury or death.

Product Overview

The ULT-PLG vehicle loop detector is compatible with most gate operators. The ULT-PLG may be used

in Center, Safety and Exit loop positions. The UltraMETER™ display feature makes set-up easy by

displaying the optimum sensitivity setting required to detect a vehicle positioned on the loop. Ten

sensitivity settings allow for fine adjustment of detection level. The Detect On Stop (DOS®) feature

allows detection only when a vehicle has come to a complete stop. Output B switch allows

configuration of output 2 for FAIL, PULSE ON ENTRY, PULSE ON EXIT, or SAME AS OUPUT A. Four

frequency settings provide flexibility in preventing crosstalk in multi-loop applications.

The ULT-PLG is compatible with a wide variety of gate operators including:

Advanced Access Automation/FAAC CSL2000, CSW2000, RSW1000

All-O-Matic SL100-DC

Apollo 4300, 4500

Chamberlain/Elite SL3000,CSW200

Intelligate Systems IQ500, IQ5000

Linear (OSCO) with APeX controller

PowerMaster operators with PowerMaster controllers

Rotary Gate Systems models SL1000C, SL1000I, SL1000R

SECOM Late model operators with 10 pin Molex connectors

TyMetal TYM 1000,TYM 2000

Viking Access Models L-3, F-1, T-21, H-10, B-12, Q-4

ULT-PLG™ Operating Instructions 4

Document no. 10180904

Operation

Power up

Upon power up the detector initializes by automatically tuning to the loop. The green LED

indicates that the detector is powered and operational.

Frequency setting

The operating frequency of the loop is a function of the specific loop inductance and DIP

switch settings 1 and 2. The primary purpose of the frequency setting is to allow the

installer the ability to set different operating frequencies for multi-loop installations,

recommended to prevent crosstalk/interference from adjacent loops. After changing the

frequency setting, press the Frequency Count switch to re-initialize the detector. To check

the operating frequency of a loop, refer to the Frequency Count section. To determine

whether crosstalk between adjacent loops is occurring, refer to the UltraMETER™Sensitivity

Display section.

UltraMETER™ Sensitivity Display

The UltraMETER™ sensitivity display simplifies the installation process by displaying the

sensitivity setting required to detect a vehicle on the loop. To use this feature, observe the

display while a vehicle is moving into position on the loop, note the number displayed, then

adjust the sensitivity setting (rotary switch) to the displayed position.

During normal operation, when a vehicle is not on the loop, the display is blank. The

effects of crosstalk or other interference can be observed on the display when the loop is

vacant. Interference or crosstalk will cause the display to indicate a level, typically 8 or 9. It

may be necessary to observe the display for a minute or so to see this effect. Change the

frequency setting to prevent crosstalk.

Sensitivity setting

The 10-position rotary switch allows for precise adjustment of detection level. The sensitivity

level increases from position 0 thru 9 with position 0 being the lowest sensitivity. Typical

applications require a setting of 3 or 4. The UltraMETER™sensitivity display simplifies the

installation process by displaying the sensitivity setting required to detect a vehicle on the loop.

To use this feature, observe the display while a vehicle is moving into position on the loop, note

the number displayed, then adjust the sensitivity setting (rotary switch) to the displayed

position.

ULT-PLG™ Operating Instructions 5

Document no. 10180904

Operation (continued)

Frequency Count / Reset

Press the Frequency Count switch and count the number of flashes on the red LED. Each flash

represents 10kHz. To help to prevent crosstalk when multiple detectors are used for adjacent

loops, perform a frequency count on each detector to confirm the operation frequencies are

different. Following a frequency count cycle, the detector re-initializes

Automatic Sensitivity Boost

The Automatic Sensitivity Boost causes the sensitivity to increase following initial detection.

This feature is useful to prevent dropout when detecting high-bed vehicles. The sensitivity

returns to its normal setting after the vehicle exits the loop. Decimal point on the display

indicates ASB on.

Presence output

The Presence settings provides two selections, the output can be set for Infinite Presence

or Normal Presence. Infinite Presence causes the output to remain in detect mode as long

as the vehicle remains on the loop. Normal Presence causes the output to reset after 5

minutes. DO NOT USE THE NORMAL PRESENCE SETTING UNLESS THE OPENING IS

PROTECTED BY A SECONDARY SAFETY DEVICE SUCH AS THE IRB-4X.

Detect-on-stop (DOS™)

The detect-on-stop affects B and /B (inverted B output). This function requires that a

vehicle come to a complete stop on the loop for the output to activate. This feature is

useful in cases where cross-traffic causes the detection.

Output B

Output B settings allow Pulse on Entry, Pulse on Exit, Detect-On-Stop (DOS®) and Loop

Fault. The Detect-On-Stop feature requires that a Vehicle must come to a complete stop

over the loop for a minimum of 1 second (typical 1-2s) before Output B activates.

Fail Safe / Fail Secure

Fail Safe setting causes the ULT-PLG to activate the Presence output in the event a loop

failure. Fail Secure setting will cause the ULT-PLG not to activate the Presence output in the

event a loop failure.

Loop Installation

NEW SLAB POUR

Ty-wrap 1-1/4” PVC pipe to the top of the

rebar in the size and configuration of the

loop (ex. 4’ x 8’). Then ty-wrap the loop to

the top of the PVC frame. This stabilizes the

loop during the pour and separates it from

the rebar.

SAW CUT EXISTING SURFACE

Cut 1” deep into the existing surface, place

a 45° cut at the corners to prevent sharp

edges from damaging the loop wire. Notch

out for the “T” connection where the lead

wire connects to the loop. Remove all

debris from the finished cut with

compressed air. Place the loop into the

saw cut. Place backer material into the saw

cut over the loop wire and pack tightly.

Place a high-quality sealer over the saw cut

to seal the surface.

RESURFACE ASPHALT

Saw cut the existing surface ¾” deep and

place a 45° cut at the corners to prevent

sharp edges from damaging the loop wire.

Remove all debris from the finished cut

with compressed air. Place sand over the

loop wire to the surface and pack tightly.

Lay new asphalt.

General Installation Guidelines

Use EMX Lite Preformed loops for quick, reliable installations and for CE compliance.

Lead-in wire (wire from loop to detector) must be must be twisted a minimum of 6 turns/ foot

to avoid the effects of noise or other interference.

Detection height is approximately 70% of the shortest side of the loop. Example: detection

height for an 4’ x 8’ loop = 48” x .7 = 33.6”
