CarSense 202
Vehicle Motion Detector
Instruction Manual
The CarSense 202 is a compact, single-piece, vehicle motion detector that operates by detecting
changes in the earth’s magnetic field that occur near the probe with a fixed detection range of 12ft. at
a vehicle speed of 5 mph. The CS202 will only detect a moving vehicle and will not detect a stationary
vehicle. The CS202 may be used as a free exit sensor to allow gates to open and guests to exit without
the use of a key fob or passcode. The CS202 may also be wired to notify a home automation system or
security system that a vehicle is moving down a driveway. This vehicle motion detector is available in
50, 100, or 150ft. lead lengths.
The CS202 is designed to detect moving vehicles. It is not suitable for use as a vehicle
presence detector such as a reversing loop for a gate or door.
The CS202 detects ferrous metals. It will not detect aluminum but will detect any
moving ferrous metallic object.
The probe must be stationary to function properly.

IMPORTANT: EARTH GROUND CONNECTION
The CS202 contains transient protection devices to guard the sensitive electronic circuitry from
damage and false triggering due to electrical transients caused by lightning or other sources. Always
provide a good earth ground. An 8ft. copper rod or metal cold-water pipe provides a sufficient earth
ground connection.
When using AC power, connect the CS202 green common relay and earth ground wire to the
operator.
When using DC power, connect the CS202 black power (–) wire and the operator’s ground, common
or power (–) lead to the earth ground.
