3 Safety and warning information
WARNING
Intended use
The device may only be used for the purpose intended by the manufacturer. Please read the section on
proper use.
Availability of documents
The operating instructions must be available at all times. The instructions must be read and understood
before the device is used for the first time, and adhered to at all times.
Service only by trained electricians
All work on the device hardware (assembly, connection, commissioning, maintenance, servicing,
measurements and settings on the device) may only be carried out by qualified electricians with relevant
training on the prevention of accidents.
Improper use
The device is subject to the manufacturer’s guarantee conditions valid at the time of purchase. The
manufacturer shall not accept any responsibility for incorrect manual or automatic parameter settings
performed on a device or the inappropriate use of a device.
Improper repairs
Repairs may only be performed by the manufacturer. Failure to comply results in endangering the safety
of the device and renders the warranty null and void.
Permitted power sources
The power supply must meet the requirements for safety extra-low voltage (SELV).
Regulations on electrical voltage
Users of devices which come into contact with electrical voltage are required to comply with the valid VDE
regulations. These are in particular, but with no claim to completeness, VDE 0100, VDE 0550/0551, EN
60335 (VDE 0700), EN 60065 (VDE 0860), EN 50110 (VDE 0105), and the fire and accident-prevention
regulations DGUV.
Observe national regulations
All work on the device and its installation must be carried out in accordance with the specifications of the
national electrical regulations and local regulations.
Essential safety equipment
The device may not be used as a safety component as defined by the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EG,
the Construction Products Regulation 305/2011/EU or other safety regulations. Systems posing a threat of
danger require additional safety equipment.

Proper use
VEK MNH Operating Manual v1.3 en
13 | 56
CAUTION
Incorrect use
Impermissible alterations to the device and the use of spare parts and additional devices not sold or
recommended by the manufacturer of the device may result in fire, electric shocks and injury. Such
actions shall therefore result in an exclusion of liability and forfeiture of the guarantee.
Impermissible interference with the housing
The housing may not be opened. This jeopardises the function and leads to forfeiture of the guarantee.
4 Proper use
Induction loop detectors such as traffic detectors are operated in combination with various induction loops
and electronic controller, such as frequency converters and PLC controller.

WARNING
Comply with the technical data
The detector may only be operated with the prescriped supply voltages. Take note of the technical data
before installation.
WARNING
Protection from environmental influences
The device must be installed in a location where it will not sustain damage from heat, dripping water,
moisture or dust.
At the end of its service life, dispose of the product in accordance with the valid legal
specifications.

For loop inductances outside the recommended range, only one frequency level may be available.
For very small loop inductances, the maximum loop resistances are lower.
2) Current load of the relay contacts
The rigid gold plating on the relay contacts will be destroyed if the switching current exceeds 100
mA. Relays with contacts that are prestressed in this manner can only reliably switch currents over
100 mA!

6 Product description
Induction loop detectors such as traffic detectors are electronic sensors for inductive detection of metallic
objects. Using induction loops, for example, vehicles are detected, and depending on the device, their design
and direction of movement.
The traffic detectors are operated in combination with various induction loops and electronic controller, such
as frequency converters or PLC controller.
The areas of application are, for example, the detection, monitoring and counting of vehicles in the areas of
traffic engineering, door and barrier controller, parking and tunnel monitoring as well as traffic light systems.

NOTE
Facilities with high switching frequency
The use of detectors with digital outputs is recommended for facilities with a high switching frequency. Due
to a more limited switching cycle, the operational life of relay contacts is reduced.
6.2 Product characteristics
The traffic detectors have the following properties:
•1 loop channel (single-channel variants) or 2 loop channels (dual-channel variants)
•2 potential-free relay outputs with changeover contact (R24 variants)
•4 open collector outputs (O24 variants)
•8-pole DIP switch for configuration
•4-pole DIP switch for advanced configuration
•2 or 4 LEDs for the indication of detector and loop states
•USB interface for diagnostics and advanced configuration
•Connection for power supply (AC/DC)
•Galvanic isolation between loops and electronics
•Automatic adjustment of the device after switch-on
•Continuous adjustment of frequency drifts to suppress environmental influences
•Sensitivity independent of loop inductance
•Fixed hold times regardless of the loop coverage
•Direction detection based on two loop channels (dual-channel variants)
•Multiplexing prevents mutual interferences of the loop channels (dual-channel variants)
•Compact plastic housing for mounting on DIN rail in control cabinet
6.3 Product functions
The traffic detectors offer the following setting options:
•Switching between two frequency levels
•Output as presence or pulse signal or of loop faults (with Detector Tool)
•Response threshold adjustable in 255 steps with Detector Tool, in 4 steps with DIP switch
•Hold time adjustable from 1 to 255 minutes and infinite with Detector Tool, 5 minutes or infinite with
DIP switch
•Counter for loop occupation and travel direction with Detector Tool
•Minimum signal duration for output signal with Detector Tool
•Switch-in and switch-off delay adjustable with Detector Tool
•Hysteresis (drop in threshold value) adjustable from 20 - 80% on each channel with Detector Tool
•Detector channels can be switched off with Detector Tool
•Comprehensive diagnostic function with Detector Tool
Advanced functions of the dual-channel variants:
•Output as presence, pulse or direction signal (dual-channel variant) or loop faults (with Detector Tool)
