When we set out to develop e-Loop V4, our goal wasn't simply to release another version of our wireless vehicle detection technology.
We wanted to create a platform that solved the challenges installers face every day. Faster installations. Simpler commissioning. Stronger security. Greater reliability. And a system that's ready for the future of connected access control.
The result is our most advanced e-Loop platform yet.
Here's a closer look at what's changed and how those improvements can help make every installation easier.
Designed Around the Installer
Every minute spent troubleshooting, adjusting settings or returning to site costs valuable time.
That's why every enhancement in e-Loop V4 has been designed to simplify installation and reduce ongoing maintenance. Whether you're installing a detector on a residential driveway, commercial entrance or industrial facility, V4 helps you complete projects more efficiently while delivering dependable long-term performance.
Smarter Vehicle Detection
Reliable detection is the foundation of every automatic gate system.
e-Loop V4 features enhanced sensing technology designed to deliver more consistent vehicle detection across a wider range of applications. Improvements to the detection platform help provide dependable performance while adapting to changing site conditions, giving installers greater confidence that the system will perform exactly as intended.
From family homes to busy commercial premises, V4 has been engineered to provide reliable operation day after day.
Commission Systems from Your Smartphone
Programming a vehicle detector should be simple.
With the e-Connect App, installers can configure e-Loop V4 directly from their smartphone, removing the need for complex setup procedures.
Using the app, installers can:
Select the operating mode
Save configuration settings
Enable or disable Confirmation Mode
View diagnostics
Check firmware information
Disconnect the device once commissioning is complete
The result is quicker commissioning, easier adjustments and less time spent on site.
Choose the Right Detection Mode
No two installations are the same, which is why e-Loop V4 offers multiple operating modes to suit different applications.
Exit Mode
Ideal for opening gates as vehicles leave a property while helping maximise battery life.
Presence Mode
Designed to keep the relay active while a vehicle remains above the detector, helping prevent gates from closing unnecessarily during normal vehicle operation.
Presence Mode is designed for vehicle operation only and should not be used as a personal safety function for pedestrians.
Parking Mode
Suitable for applications requiring maintained vehicle detection with different operational behaviour to match site requirements.
Having multiple operating modes gives installers greater flexibility without needing additional hardware.
Intelligent Monitoring and Auto-Calibration
Every installation environment is different.
Changes in temperature, surrounding metalwork and site conditions can all influence vehicle detection performance over time.
e-Loop V4 has been designed with intelligent monitoring and automatic calibration to help maintain reliable operation throughout the life of the installation. Rather than relying on repeated manual adjustments, the system continually works to deliver dependable performance with minimal intervention.
For installers, that means fewer call-backs and greater confidence that the detector will continue performing as expected.
Stay Up to Date with Over-the-Air Updates
Technology is constantly evolving, and now your vehicle detection system can too.
e-Loop V4 introduces over-the-air firmware updates, allowing compatible devices to receive future software improvements without requiring physical access.
This not only simplifies maintenance but also helps ensure your installation benefits from future enhancements
as the platform continues to evolve.
Built for Modern Security
As wireless technology becomes increasingly common within access control systems, security has become just as important as performance.
e-Loop V4 incorporates 128-bit encrypted communication to help protect wireless transmissions between devices.
In addition, Replay Attack Protection helps prevent intercepted wireless signals from being reused to trigger the system without authorisation, providing another layer of protection against modern security threats.
Together, these technologies help installers deliver systems that customers can trust.
Built to Last
Wireless vehicle detection should reduce maintenance, not create more of it.
That's why e-Loop V4 has been engineered for dependable long-term performance, with battery life of up to 10 years on selected models, significantly extending maintenance intervals compared with previous generations.
Combined with robust construction, intelligent monitoring and improved load capacity across much of the range, V4 has been designed to perform reliably in demanding environments for years to come.
Faster Installation from Start to Finish
Traditional induction loops require cutting into road surfaces, laying loop cable and reinstating the finished surface before commissioning can even begin.
e-Loop V4 continues to eliminate that complexity.
With wireless installation, smartphone configuration and automatic calibration, installers can complete projects more quickly while reducing disruption, labour costs and installation time.
It's everything installers already appreciated about e-Loop, now refined into an even smarter platform.
The Next Generation of e-Loop
e-Loop V4 isn't just a product update. It's a complete evolution of the platform.
From enhanced vehicle detection and simplified commissioning to improved security, over-the-air updates and longer battery life, every enhancement has been developed with one objective: helping installers work more efficiently while delivering reliable access control solutions their customers can depend on.
As the V4 family continues to grow throughout the year, every new product will benefit from the same intelligent platform, delivering a consistent experience across the entire range.
