Also online at: www.dijonline.co.uk Automated Gates & Barriers SOLUTION The primary issue at the site is the unstable ground, making above-ground vehicle detection more suitable. Geran Handel B.V. has had positive experiences with our OVS-01GT, so there was no hesitation in introducing our recently launched OVS-02GT, which offers a larger and more accurate detection area for vehicle detection. The OVS-02GT also disregards pedestrian traffic to prevent unwanted gate and barrier openings. Mounting the sensor on the gate control housing and using the installation app for setting adjustments was a quick and straightforward process. The system was up and running again in no time, with only one party involved in installing the new sensor solution. RESULT By using the OVS-02GT above-ground vehicle sensor, the Van der Panne site’s exit now functions as intended, opening, and closing only when necessary for exiting vehicles. The gate and barrier combination is fully operational, preventing unwanted vehicles or pedestrians from entering the site. During installation, the exit remained accessible, and the brief setting adjustment period minimized inconvenience. CONCLUSION Implementing the OVS-02GT solution has satisfied Van der Panne as it quickly restored the site’s perimeter closure to its intended state. This solution proved to be an excellent alternative to the induction loop, as it is not affected by challenging ground conditions, such as areas prone to subsidence, flooding, or restricted groundwork in public areas. Geran Handel B.V. was highly content with the installation of the OVS-02GT, thanks to its swift mounting and installation process.
