EasyLoop D.6

The EasyLoop D.6 is a virtual loop vehicle detection sensor powered by FMCW (frequency-modulated continuous wave) 60 GHz radar technology. It replaces induction ground loops with an above-ground radar detection field. EasyLoop provides detection for barriers, parking systems, toll stations, and gates, distinguishing vehicles from pedestrians even in rain, fog, snow, and dust. Configuration is done via mobile app, enabling remote setup and troubleshooting.

FMCW 60 GHz radarVehicle/pedestrian detection

Key Features

FMCW 60 GHz millimetre-wave radar delivers reliable, precise vehicle detection in all weather conditions.
Virtual loop replaces ground induction loops — no excavation, surfacing, or loop installation required.
IP66 protection rating for high dust and water resistance in demanding outdoor environments.
Differentiates vehicles from pedestrians in accordance with EN 12453 Type D.
Uni- and bi-directional detection in a single sensor — prevents tailgating and unauthorised entry.
Customisable radar detection field: 9.8 ft wide × 5.2 ft high × up to 19.6 ft deep.
45° angled mounting mode expands field to 13.1 ft × 19.6 ft for direct barrier housing installation.
Power failure protection holds barrier in raised position if supply becomes unstable during passage.
Mobile app enables setup, sensitivity adjustment, firmware updates, and remote debugging.

Best Fit Applications

Car park and business park entry/exit barriers with ticket dispenser activation.
Toll stations requiring fast, accurate vehicle detection for high-volume traffic flow.
Sliding gate activation at industrial sites where pedestrian filtering is required.
Any installation where digging ground loops is impractical, costly, or structurally restricted.
Retrofitting existing barrier systems to eliminate aging or damaged ground loops.

EasyLoop's above-ground setup at 31.5 in. mounting height, combined with bracket options for pole or direct barrier housing mounting, makes it adaptable to virtually any access control layout.

Technical Specifications

Operating principle	FMCW radar — 60 GHz millimetre-wave
Protection class	IP66
Detection field (std)	9.8 ft W × 5.2 ft H × up to 19.6 ft D
Detection field (45°)	13.1 ft × 19.6 ft (W × L)

Mounting height	31.5 in. above ground
Mounting options	Pole (side), barrier housing (direct), bracket
Detection modes	Activation, presence detection
Configuration	Mobile app (sensitivity, range, mode, firmware)

Detection Modes

Mode	Description
Activation	Triggers barrier, gate, or ticketing system when a vehicle (or vehicle and pedestrian, operator-selectable) enters the detection zone; uni- or bi-directional recognition prevents tailgating
Presence detection	Safeguards barriers, straight arm, articulated/folding boom, advertising, and fence gate types — prevents accidental closure while a vehicle or obstacle is present

Installation Notes

Mount at 31.5 in. above ground on a pole (side installation) or directly on the barrier housing using the optional bracket.
Use 45° angled mounting mode when mounting directly on the barrier housing — software reconfigures the field to 13.1 ft × 19.6 ft automatically.
Download the EasyLoop mobile app to configure detection field, sensitivity, and operation mode during commissioning.
The sensor learns its surroundings automatically to suppress fixed background objects and reduce false alarms.
Power failure protection is active by default — no additional configuration required.

Refer to the operating guide for full wiring diagrams, app pairing instructions, detection zone adjustment, and firmware update procedures.

Typical Applications

Parking facility barriers and ticket dispensers at entrances and exits.
Toll station vehicle activation with high-volume traffic throughput.
Sliding gate activation with pedestrian filtering at industrial access points.
Retrofit of aging or failed ground loop systems without construction work.
