EVOLOOP

Activation, presence and protection sensor for automatic barriers

Intended use

The EVOLOOP is an activation and presence sensor for automatic barriers with MoWa inside technology based on FMCW principles.

Protection

The EVOLOOP can be used as a safeguarding level D as described in EN 12453 (also called protectiondevice). The use of a protectiondevice on its own cannot guarantee compliance with the requirements of EN 12453, it shall always be used in conjunction with a system to limit the forces of the barrier (safeguarding level C).

For protectioninstallation, make sure that the test input of the EVOLOOP is connected, and that it is tested before every movement of the barrier. If the test input is not used, the proper functioning of the EVOLOOP shall be checked at intervals not greater than 6 months.

For protectioninstallation, make sure the EVOLOOP is positionned at maximum 50 cm from the boom (page 6 - point 3).

The sensor cannot be used for purposes other than its intended use.
The manufacturer of the gate system incorporating the sensor is responsible for compliance of the system to applicable national and international regulations and safety standards.
The installer must read, understand and follow the instructions given in this manual. Improper installation can result in improper sensor operation.
The manufacturer of the sensor cannot be held responsible for injury or damage resulting from incorrect use, installation or inappropriate adjustment of the sensor.

Mounting the sensor

	Remove the plastic or metallic protective cover. For the plastic protective cover, insert a screwdriver into the provided notch at the bottom of the product. Lever it up to remove the protective cover from the mounting support. For the metallic protective cover, unscrew and remove the protective cover.
	Remove the sensor from the mounting support. Push the product upwards and seperate it from the product base.
	If the sensor is used to detect, to reduce risk of collision or as a protection D device it is recommended to position the product at a maximum distance of 50cm from the boom.
	Position the sensor as low as possible , between 30cm and 70cm from the road ground. You can use the mounting template.
	*Mount the sensor on the cabinet or use the bracket accessory.** When using the bracket accessory, make sure the sensor is aligned with the cabinet to avoid obstruction of the detection field.
	Fix the mounting support according to your preference. The mounting support needs to be fixed firmly and securely!
	Prepare the cabling. Take the cable and pass the cable through the hole. Make the connector plug hang down 10 cm.
	Remove the sliding cover First lower the sliding cover, then, place your finger behind the cover and pull to take it off.
	Connect the plug. You can use a provided screw If needed use a provided screw to firmly fix the connector plug to the sensor.
	Place the sensor on the mounting support. First insert the top and then the bottom of the product. Make sure the product is firmly fixed in the mounting support.
	Rotate the sensor Depending on the mounting position and the traffic flow direction you can rotate the sensor. To do so, lift the sensor up and turn it accordingly.

Caution

It’s mandatory to follow the installation steps in order to correctly commission the sensor and ensure the good functioning of the barrier.

1. Sensor is mounted. 2. Sensor must be correctly wired. 3. Barrier must be opened

Initial State

When the sensor is out of the box or if it has been reset to factory values, the orange LEDs blink and outputs activated.

Before launching the teach-in, make sure the environment is clear of any objects and that you’re standing outside of the field.

Teach-in steps

	Caution
	Make sure to stop the traffic, clear and stand outside the detection zone during environment teach-in.

Environment teach-in

Launch the teach-in by using the app or press the button 1x. The first LED start blinking red-green.

When environment teach-in is succesfully done!

a. Boom teach-in : Closing
The sensor deactivates its outputs for 20 seconds to signal the boom’s closing. (2 LEDs red/green.)
b. Boom teach-in : Opening
The sensor reactivates its outputs for 20 seconds to signal the boom’s opening. (3 LEDs red/green.)

This procedure is always required.

	Caution
	Make sure to stop the traffic, clear and stand outside the detection zone during boom teach in.

	Note
	Boom and equipement fitted (skirt pendulum) are in good and functionnal state.

Edge teach-in

Once the boom teach-in is completed successfully, the product waits for you to indicate the length of the boom.

Stand in front of the sensor at a distance equal to the boom length or the road width. During the waiting period, the green LEDs blink.

Finish

Stand still the LEDs blink red to indicate the sensor has locked your position and the process is completed successfully.

Loop Teach in

	Caution
	It’s mandatory to follow the installation steps in order to correctly commission the sensor and ensure the good functioning of the barrier.
