MVP D-TEK™

Multi-Voltage Vehicle Loop Detector

Instruction Manual

The MVP D-TEK vehicle loop detector allows for detection of metallic objects entering the field formed
around an induction loop. This detector automatically adjusts to input power from 12 VDC up to 240 VAC

which eliminates the installer’s need to match available power to an appropriately rated vehicle detector.

The MVP D-TEK is made from anodized aluminum and all switches have gold plated contacts that are sealed
for protection. It features full loop diagnostic with frequency counter, 10 sensitivity settings, delay mode,
extend mode, fail safe/fail secure mode, automatic sensitivity boost, pulse and presence operating modes
and two output relays.

Cautions and Warnings

This product is an accessory or part of a system. Install the MVP D-TEK according to
instructions from the gate or door operator manufacturer. Comply with all applicable
codes and safety regulations.

Settings & Display

Extend Detect

DIP Switch

Extend Detect mode extends the detection after the vehicle

leaves the loop for the extension time specified by DIP switch 7
and 8. When the vehicle is no longer detected and the operator
enters the extended detection time period, the red LED will flash.

Automatic
Sensitivity Boost

DIP Switch 6

Automatic Sensitivity Boost mode increases the sensitivity to

maximum when detection occurs. This allows for the continual
detection of high bed vehicles that might otherwise not be
detected. The sensitivity returns to normal after the vehicle exits
the loop.

Filter

DIP Switch 5

Filter mode inputs a momentary delay into the detection circuit to

verify that a vehicle is present in the loop for a minimum time
period before activation occurs.

Fail Safe/
Fail Secure

DIP Switch 4

Fail Safe mode activates the presence output in the event of a

loop failure. Fail Secure mode will not activate the presence
output in the event of a loop failure and the detector will not
change states on power loss or power up. In Fail Secure mode
relay 2 will trigger if a loop fault occurs. Do not use Fail Secure
for reversing loop applications.

Fail Secure

Presence

DIP Switch 3

4 Minute presence mode causes the output to reset after 4

minutes. Infinite presence mode causes the output to remain in
detection mode as long as the vehicle remains near the loop.

Do not use 4 Minute presence mode for reversing loop
applications.

Relay 2
Pulse Mode

DIP Switch 2

When in pulse mode (DIP switch 1 is off),
DIP switch 2 determines when the pulse occurs.
When DIP switch 2 is on, Pulse on Un-Detect,
relay 2 will pulse when the vehicle exits the loop.
When DIP switch 2 is off, Pulse on Detect, relay 2
will pulse when the vehicle enters the loop.

DIP Switch 1

DIP Switch 1 toggles between assigning the
relay 2 outputs to Presence or Pulse mode.

Sensitivity Setting

The 10-position rotary switch allows for adjustment of the detection level.
The sensitivity threshold increases from position 0 (lowest setting) through
9 (highest setting). Typical applications require a setting of 3 or 4. The rotary adjustment
must be set to a specific/whole number. There are no half settings.
