VEK S4 / VEK S4C
4 CHANNEL LOOP DETECTOR FOR ACQUISITION
OF VEHICLE SPEED AND VEHICLE CLASS
– Detection of vehicle speed, vehicle length, classification
of vehicles with a double loop system
– Classification of vehicles and data transfer according
to the TLS-guidelines in 8 + 1 classes accuracy class 2
– Detection of vehicles in both directions
– 4 open collector outputs with selectable function
– Available as detector in plastic housing
(direct installation on DIN rail) or as 19“ board
– High reliability, extreme high MTBF rate
FEIG Induction Loop Detectors for traffic counting Additional features:
and management
› Communication via RS485 or CAN interface
A generally increasing volume of traffic, dynamic traffic flows
› Advanced settings with S4 COM software tool
and particularly enormously increasing peak loads on the
roads are the challenges for an optimally controlled flow of › High speed open-collector outputs
traffic.
› Automatic system adjustment directly after power on
The FEIG 4-channel traffic detectors VEK S4 are specially
› Galvanic isolation between loop and detector electronics
designed for use in traffic management systems and reliably
collect all the relevant vehicle data for a full evaluation: › Sensitivity adjustment independent of loop inductivity
speed, length, classification into 8 + 1 vehicle categories,
› Continuous readjustment of frequency drifts in order to
gap time intervals and loop status.
avoid environmental influences
FEIG also provides a settings and diagnostics program free of
› Quick response time
charge via RS485. All FEIG detectors are certified by the Federal
Highway Research Institute (BASt). › Power, com and synchronization of multiple VEK S4
detectors via flat ribbon cable
