ULT-MVP
™
Multi-Voltage Vehicle Loop Detector
Instruction Manual
The ULT-MVP vehicle loop detector allows for detection of metallic objects entering the field around an
induction loop. This detector automatically adjusts from 12 VDC up to 240 VAC which eliminates
the installer’s need to match available power to an appropriately rated vehicle detector.
The ULTRAMETER™ display feature makes set-up easy by displaying the optimum sensitivity setting
required to detect a vehicle positioned near the loop. Ten sensitivity settings allow for fine adjustment
of the detection level. The ULT-MVP provides relay contact outputs indicating vehicle presence and a
second set of relay contact outputs providing auxiliary functions. The second output can be used for
loop fault or pulse on entry/pulse on exit, or the EMX exclusive feature, Detect-on-Stop™ (DOS®).
The ULT-MVP features automatic sensitivity boost (ASB), delay, fail-safe/fail-secure and
infinite or normal (5 minute) presence. Four frequency settings provide flexibility in preventing crosstalk
in multi-loop applications.
This product is an accessory or part of a system. Install the ULT-MVP according to
instructions from the gate or door operator manufacturer. Comply with all applicable
codes and safety regulations.

1. Frequency Count / Reset Button
Press and release the frequency count button and count the number of
flashes on the red LED. Each flash represents 10 kHz. Following a frequency
count cycle, the detector re-initializes.
2. Sensitivity Setting
The 10-position rotary switch allows for adjustment of detection level.
The sensitivity level 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.

4. Power / Loop Fault Indicator (Green LED)
Upon power up, the detector
initializes by automatically tuning
to the loop. The green LED
indicates that the detector is
powered and operational.

The display shows the sensitivity setting required to detect a vehicle
near the loop. To use this feature, observe the display while a vehicle
is moving into position near the loop, note the number displayed, then adjust
the sensitivity setting to the displayed position. The display will adjust
from 9 for a weak signal to 0 for a very strong signal. During normal operation,
when a vehicle is not on or near the loop, the display is blank. The effects of
cross-traffic interference can be observed on the display when the
sensing area is vacant.
The DIP switch settings are explained on the next page.
