Instead of cutting concrete or asphalt for an in-ground loop, the OVS-02GT uses 24GHz FMCW microwave detection to sense vehicles from the side of the lane and provide activation or protection signals to the connected gate or barrier operator.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis sensor is built for applications where clean installation, vehicle presence detection, and reduced pavement work matter. It can be used for barrier gate activation, barrier protection, slide gate activation and protection, swing gate activation and protection, and swing gate shadow detection. With a configurable 7 to 26 ft detection range, two relay outputs, smartphone app setup, and programmable human detection behavior, the OVS-02GT gives installers a flexible virtual loop solution for access control and perimeter security layouts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe OVS-02GT is also designed for outdoor gate environments. Its IP66 and NEMA 4 rated housing, built-in heater, wide angle adjustment, visible status indicator, and 12–24 VAC\/DC power input make it suitable for commercial entrances, gated communities, parking facilities, secure driveways, and industrial access points where vehicle detection must continue through changing weather and traffic conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAbove-ground virtual loop vehicle detection sensor for gates and barriers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUses 24GHz FMCW microwave technology for vehicle presence detection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEliminates saw-cutting, coring, or trenching for traditional in-ground loop installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdjustable 7 to 26 ft detection range for different lane and gate layouts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports barrier gate, slide gate, and swing gate applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan be used for activation, protection, and swing gate shadow detection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProgrammable human detection or human cancellation based on site requirements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo outputs support flexible gate or barrier control configurations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmartphone app setup through BLE communication\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIP66 and NEMA 4 rated housing for indoor or outdoor installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt-in heater supports stable operation in cold weather\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with single gang box mounting and Optex mini posts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Optex\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e OVS-02GT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Surface-mount vehicle detection sensor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTechnology:\u003c\/strong\u003e Microwave FMCW\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMicrowave Frequency:\u003c\/strong\u003e 24GHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBLE Communication Frequency:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.4GHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication:\u003c\/strong\u003e Barrier gate activation and protection;
