EMX LRS-DB-50 Direct Burial Vehicle Sensor with 50 Ft. Lead for Loop Replacement System (LRS)
Direct burial style sensor used in the EMX LRS vehicle detection system. Compact, round design that can be easily and quickly installed vertically with one saw cut. Sensitivity range to 5'.
The EMX LRS-DB-50 Sensor is the direct burial version of the sensor used in the LRS system. This round sensor can be installed vertically in pavement or concrete with a single saw cut. It's compact design makes it easier to install than traditional inductive loops.
LRS Direct Burial Sensor Specifications and Details:
See documents under "Manuals" for more information
How is the Direct Burial Sensor installed? For vertical installation, drill a 7" x 1.5" hole in the surface with a 5/16" x 2" deep saw cut exiting the cutout for the communications /power cable. Backer rod should be placed at a minimum of every 10-14". Hard epoxy pavement sealant should then be used to fill the cable and sensor cavities. Make sure pavement sealant does not extend above roadway surface.
What is LRS? The Loop Replacement System (LRS) features advanced 3-axis, magnetoresistive sensing technology. The sensor measures Earth's magnetic field and responds to disturbances caused by ferrous objects. Three sensing elements provide magnetic field measurement in the X, Y and Z axes, improving detection sensitivity. The LRS's exciting new technology provides a high-sensitivity, compact, and cost-effective solution for reliable vehicle detection. The small size of the LRS allows for easy installation in pavement (below grade) with a single saw cut. It provides cost savings on labor and materials when compared to the multiple cuts and corner reliefs required for the installation of inductive loops. The rugged sensor is also suitable for above grade installations, making it ideal for use in confined areas or hidden in non-ferrous architectural components for security purposes.
