NorthStar NP2 Manuale utente
Single Channel - Dual Relay Vehicle Detector
Model NP2 Features:
• 10 selectable Sensitivities
• 4 selectable Frequencies
• Wrong voltage protection
• Output Timing – Extend & Delay
• Selectable Presence times
• Selectable Pulse lengths
• Separate Power, Detect and
Fault Indicators
• Automatic Sensitivity Boost
• Available in: 240VAC, 120VAC,
24VAC, 24VDC or 12VDC
The NP2 has been specifically designed and engineered for use in the Parking/Access
Control industries. With standard operations including programmable pulse and
presence options, fail-safe or fail-secure operation, compatibility with all radio controls,
timing features and more, the NP2 covers your detection needs.
The NP2’s wide inductance range allows for use with small loops sometimes found in
the Parking/Access Control industries (for recommended loop sizes please consult the
Northstar Loop Information Guide).
Separate indicators for power on, detect relay 1, detect relay 2 and fault provide for
quick visual verification of proper operation. Loop diagnostics are easily viewed with the
front panel fault indicator, differentiating between current and historical faults thus
facilitating troubleshooting.
Small size and full list of features lend the NP2 to any Parking/Access Control use from
simple presence detection to configured pulse/presence lengths with output extensions
and/or delays.
Reliable operation and long field life are key engineering goals in every Northstar
product.
NP2 Specifications
Rear Panel DIP Switch selections
Relay 1
Extend – switch 1 is for extending the detector output after
the vehicle has left the loop. Switch 1 in the OFF position
provides no extension. Switch 1 in the ON position provides
a 5 second extension once the vehicle leaves the loop. This
extension applies to relay 1 only.
Delay – switch 2 is for providing a 2 second delay, detector
will ignore the vehicle until the vehicle has been present over
the loop for 2 seconds. Switch 2 in the OFF position
provides no delay. Switch 2 in the ON position provides for
the 2-second delay. This delay applies to relay 1 only.
Presence Time – switch 3 provides for either a 1 hour
presence or permanent presence. Switch 3 in the OFF
position provides for 1 hour of presence. Switch 3 in the ON
position provides for permanent presence. The above
presence settings apply to relay 1 only. (Other options are
available).
Relay 2
Pulse Length – switch 4 provides for either a 250mS pulse
length or a 500mS pulse length. Switch 4 in the OFF position
provides a 250mS (standard) pulse length.
Switch 4 in the ON position provides a 500mS pulse length.
Operating Mode – switch 5 and switch 6 determine the
operating mode for Relay 2. The four modes are as follows:
Switch 5 and switch 6 OFF provides pulse-on-entry.
Switch 5 ON & switch 6 OFF provides pulse-on-leaving.
Switch 5 OFF & switch 6 ON provides for presence.
Switch 5 and switch 6 ON provides a fault output.
Front Panel Selections
Sensitivity – controlled by front panel rotary switch.
• 0 = Low sensitivity
• 9 = High sensitivity
Medium sensitivity is used for most applications; this is a
setting of 4 or 5. Always use the lowest sensitivity setting
that detects the desired vehicles.
Frequency – four separate settings controlled by front panel
DIP switches.
• 2+1 = High
• 2+0 = Medium High
• 1+0 = Medium Low
• 0+0 = Low
Reset – front panel reset performs a hard reset of the
detector.

Relay 1 – Red, solid during detect.
Relay 2 – Red, solid during detect.
Fault – Yellow, solid during current fault, flashing for
historical fault.
Sensitivity Boost – automatic during detect except in the
highest sensitivity setting (9).
Factory Options:
Presence lengths of 15, 30, 60 minutes or permanent.
Pulse lengths of 250mS, 500mS, 1, 2 or 4 seconds.
