Vehicle crossing detector COBRA-2
COBRA-2 is a loop type vehicle crossing detector which gives the electric signal at following situations:
- vehicle driving over the detector loop;
- vehicle moving in regard to the detector loop if located under the vehicle;
- detector loop mechanic crosscut.
The detector must be buried into the ground or road surface to avoid the wrong signals caused by detector loop mechanic moving due to unwanted circumstances.
With COBRA-2 it is easy to arrange not only the linear protection but if placed around the protected object or territory also the circular protection of the territory from the unwanted vehicles. It may be used for the protection of houses, stocks, camps, machines etc.
The COBRA-2 output relay maybe used to switch on either light or sound signal to inform the interested institutions or persons of arrival or departure the vehicles to the territory to be controlled. It cans also be used for vehicle activated road signs etc. If equipped with the additional module the sensor may send the SMS and call up to four chosen by the customer mobile phones. The message will inform about the activation of a sensor at a certain location.
