Optex OVS-02GT Virtual Loop Vehicle Detection Sensor

Advanced Vehicle Presence Sensor for Secure Gate and Access Control

The Optex OVS-02GT Virtual Loop 2.0 is a high-performance vehicle presence sensor designed for security gates, barrier arms, and access-controlled entry points. Using advanced FMCW radar (Frequency-Modulated Continuous Wave) technology, it detects both moving and stationary vehicles with precision—without the need for in-ground loop detectors. This above-ground, tamper-resistant solution preserves your site’s infrastructure while reducing installation time and cost. Built for perimeter protection, the OVS-02GT is ideal for commercial, industrial, and high-security environments where reliability, accuracy, and clean integration matter.

Key Features

• Above-ground installation eliminates cutting, coring, or trenching
• 7 to 26 ft detection range covers small vehicles to large trucks
• Customizable human filtering to minimize false triggers in mixed traffic zones
• Smartphone configuration via Bluetooth app (iOS & Android)
• IP66 and NEMA 4 rated with built-in heater for all-weather performance
• Dual relay outputs support safety and exit loop functionality
• Compatible with all automated gate and barrier operators

Versatile Functionality for Secure Gate and Barrier Operation

The OVS-02GT integrates easily with a wide range of gate systems - including barrier arms, swing gates, and slide gates - making it an exceptionally flexible solution for modern access control.

Configured as an exit sensor, it detects approaching vehicles and triggers the connected gate or barrier to open automatically - streamlining egress while maintaining controlled access. When used as a safety loop, it holds the gate or barrier open while a vehicle is in the path, preventing accidental closure and enhancing site safety. With two programmable relay outputs, the sensor supports both functions simultaneously or individually, adapting to your unique security layout.

By replacing in-ground loops with a clean, surface-mounted design, the OVS-02GT also reduces long-term maintenance and tampering risks - making it a trusted solution for secure entry management.
