PRODUCTOVERVIEW
The UltraV DTEK™ vehicle loop detector is compatible with most gate operators. The UltraV DTEK™ 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. 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 Ultra V-2 is compatible with a wide variety of gate operators including:
•Chamberlain/Elite SL3000,CSW200
•Advanced Access Automation CSL2000, CSW2000, RSW1000
•All-O-Matic SL100-DC, SL 150DC, OH 200DC, SW 300DC, SW350DC
•Intelligate Systems IQ500, IQ5000
•Linear (OSCO) SL & SW Series with APeX controller
•SECOM Late model operators with 10 pin Molex connectors
•Viking Access Models L-3, F-1, T-21, H-10, B-12, Q-4

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.
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.

Delay
The Delay setting provides a 2 second delay before activating after a vehicle enters the loop, for
both Presence and Output B.
Output B
Output B settings allow Pulse on Entry, Pulse on Exit, Output B same as Presence and Loop Fault.
Fail Safe / Fail Secure
Fail Safe setting causes the UltraV to activate the Presence output in the event a loop failure. Fail
Secure setting will cause the UltraV 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”
