Direct-Connect Vehicle Detection for Ramset Gate Operators
The Ramset RLD-24 Plug-In Loop Detector is a 24VAC vehicle detector designed to connect directly to Ramset gate operator circuit boards. Its plug-in configuration simplifies installation by eliminating the need for a separate external loop detector enclosure or additional detector wiring between the module and control board.
When connected to an in-ground inductive loop, the RLD24 detects the presence of a vehicle and sends the appropriate signal to the gate operator. Depending on the operator and connection used, the detector can support Exit, Reverse, or Phantom loop functions for vehicle access and traffic control.
The RLD-24 also provides adjustable sensitivity and inherent loop diagnostics, helping installers tune vehicle detection and identify loop-related issues during setup or service.
