Reno BX-3 Loop Detector – Single Channel 120VAC
120VAC Single Channel Loop Detector for Safe Traffic Control The EDI Reno BX-3 is a 120VAC single-channel loop detector designed to deliver accurate and consistent vehicle detection in secure gate, barrier, and traffic control systems. With support for TruePresence™ detection, dual relay outputs, and eight selectable sensitivity levels, this detector ensures precise detection for a wide range of access control environments. Built for durability and ease of integration, the BX-3 features independent relay output settings, four loop frequency selections to avoid cross-talk, and diagnostic LED indicators for real-time monitoring. Its conformal-coated circuitry and lightning protection make it suitable for both indoor and outdoor enclosure mounting. Designed for high-reliability access and traffic systems operating on 120VAC. For single loop configurations only. Harness sold separately. Key Features Single channel loop detector for 120VAC applications Dual relays with selectable output logic for entry, exit, or fault monitoring Eight selectable sensitivity levels for precise loop tuning TruePresence™ detection holds the call signal as long as a vehicle remains present 2-second output delay and automatic sensitivity boost options Four selectable loop frequencies to prevent interference Detect memory retains vehicle presence through short power interruptions LED diagnostics for power, detection status, and loop faults Designed for barrier arms, slide gates, and perimeter access systems Technical Specifications Model: BX-3 Power Input: 120VAC ±10% Current Draw: Approx. 50–80 mA Loop Frequency: 20–100 kHz (4 selectable bands) Sensitivity: 8 levels from 0.01% to 1.28% ΔL/L Relay Outputs: A & B (Presence, Pulse-on-Entry, Pulse-on-Exit, Fault) Detection Modes: TruePresence™ or limited presence Response Time: <250 ms Delay Option: 2 seconds (optional) Indicators: Power (green), Detect (red), Fail (red) Loop Inductance Range: 20–2000 µH Operating Temperature: -35°F to 165°F Surge Protection: 1000V discharge survivability Mounting: Surface or enclosure-based Dimensions: 3.00" H × 1.75" W × 4.30" D Weight: 8.8 oz Conclusion The Reno BX-3 is a rugged, reliable loop detector for 120VAC gate and traffic control systems. With flexible output logic, TruePresence™ detection, and field-tunable sensitivity, it ensures seamless operation in demanding access control environments. Download Specs Download Manual
