The OPTEX OVS-02 is the perfect sensing solution for automatic gates and barriers as it is easy to install above-ground on a wall, pole, or barrier housing, replacing the ground loop and functioning as a "Virtual Loop". This makes it suitable for almost any application. Especially when there is a difficulty in the installation environment like the type of road surface or restrictions due to legislation. The sensor can be used for traffic management, vehicle protection, and security purposes.
