Centurion Traffic Barrier SECTOR II Boom 3m Rectangular Loop Det +Pole (Yellow)
Precision Vehicle Detection Meets Robust Barrier Control
Engineer flawless entry and exit sequencing with the Centurion SECTOR II 3m Rectangular Loop Detector System. This complete barrier kit integrates a vehicle-optimized rectangular loop detector with a heavy-duty 3m mild steel boom and pole to create a traffic management solution where timing, safety, and reliability are critical. Perfect for applications requiring exact vehicle positioning and controlled movement through access points.
Why This Rectangular Loop System Delivers Superior Traffic Management:
Advanced Rectangular Loop Detection: Unlike standard square loops, the included rectangular loop detector provides elongated detection coverage—ideal for ensuring vehicles are completely clear of the barrier path before descent and for triggering opening at the precise approach moment.
Complete Ready-to-Install Kit: Everything needed for a professional installation: 3m mild steel boom, mounting pole, rectangular loop detector kit with pre-measured wire, and all hardware.
Optimized for Traffic Flow: The rectangular loop shape matches typical vehicle approach patterns, reducing false triggers and providing more reliable "vehicle-present" signaling for both entry and exit sequences.
Enhanced Safety Configuration: Allows for two-zone detection within a single loop layout—enabling "advanced warning" and "occupancy" zones for sophisticated barrier timing and safety interlocking.
Professional-Grade Components: Heavy-duty mild steel construction designed for durability, with the loop system engineered to Centurion's rigorous standards for reliability in high-cycle applications.
Perfect For:
High-Security Facilities requiring precise vehicle clearance verification
Toll Plazas & Parking Garages with defined vehicle stopping positions
Industrial Plants & Distribution Centers with specific vehicle positioning requirements
Car Rental Return Lanes & Vehicle Inspection Stations

Component Specification Operational Advantage Loop Configuration Rectangular (typically 2m x 1m or custom) Extended detection zone matches vehicle approach/departure path. Boom Length 3 meters Standard single-lane coverage. Detection Logic Presence & Pulse Counting Can differentiate between vehicles stopping vs. passing through. Loop Sensitivity Adjustable Tunable for different vehicle sizes—from motorcycles to trucks. Output Options N.O./N.C. Relay + RS-485 Flexible integration with barrier operators and access control systems. Weather Rating IP67 Detector Housing Waterproof and dustproof for reliable buried installation. Wire Included High-Temperature Cross-Linked PE Durable, moisture-resistant wire suitable for direct pavement burial. The Rectangular Loop Advantage:
1. Optimized Detection Geometry:
-
Longitudinal Coverage: The rectangular shape (e.g., 2m x 1m) provides detection along the vehicle's direction of travel, ensuring the vehicle is fully within the protected zone before allowing barrier movement.
-
Reduced False Triggers: Less susceptible to activation by adjacent lane traffic compared to square loops.
-
Directional Sensing: Can be configured to detect approach versus departure based on loop placement.
2. Installation Flexibility:
-
Multiple Layout Options: Can be installed as:
-
Entry Loop: Placed before the barrier to trigger opening
-
Safety Loop: Under the barrier to prevent lowering on vehicles
-
Exit Loop: After the barrier to confirm departure
-
-
Custom Sizing: Wire length allows for various rectangular dimensions to suit specific lane layouts.
3. Advanced Traffic Management Features:
-
Vehicle Counting: The extended shape allows for better counting accuracy as vehicles pass through.
-
Speed Estimation: Can provide approximate vehicle speed based on detection timing across the loop.
-
Queue Detection: Multiple rectangular loops can be ganged to detect vehicle backup.
Compatible Systems:
-
Centurion SECTOR II Barrier Operators
-
Centurion DTS & Quantum Access Controllers
-
Third-party PLC and traffic management systems via dry contact or RS-485
Professional Application Insight:
The Centurion SECTOR II 3m Rectangular Loop Detector System represents a specialized traffic management solution for applications where precise vehicle detection directly impacts safety, throughput, or security. While requiring more careful installation than standard systems, it delivers superior performance in controlled traffic environments where vehicle position and movement timing are critical to operational efficiency.
When your barrier needs to know exactly where vehicles are—not just that they're nearby—deploy the precision detection of the rectangular loop system.
