EDI Reno BX-LP Loop Detector, Solar-Friendly

The EDI BX Series is a low-power, single-channel loop detector designed for reliable vehicle presence detection in access control, parking, and perimeter security applications. Featuring TruePresence® technology, the BX maintains detection during brief power interruptions and supports dual output channels, sensitivity boost, and selectable loop frequencies to reduce cross-talk in multi-lane setups. Its ultra-low power consumption makes it ideal for solar-powered gate systems, as well as traditional hardwired installations. Models are available with relay or solid-state outputs to meet a variety of system configurations.

Key Features

• Dual output channels with selectable detection modes
• TruePresence® detection maintains presence while a vehicle remains
