Vehicle Motion Detector VMD202 with 15m Cable and VMD202-R Sensitivity Remote

Overview of The VMD202 Vehicle Motion Detector

The VMD202 is the most advanced single-piece vehicle motion detector on the market today. The probe and its electronics are housed in a slim design that is buried next to a driveway. The VMD202-R sensitivity remote makes installation and fine-tuning simple.

Program the VMD202 vehicle motion detector’s 10 sensitivity settings with the VMD202-R and the setting is retained in non-volatile memory. Then the VMD202-R can be removed and used for multiple installations, or left in place if tampering is not a concern.

The VMD202 vehicle motion detector accepts a wide range of power inputs – 12-39 VDC or 12-27 VAC.

The low standby current of 70uA is suitable for solar power applications.

The VMD202 vehicle motion detector is supplied with a 15M cable. The sensitivity remote is included in the kit.

VMD202 Wiring Diagram

IMPORTANT: EARTH GROUND CONNECTION

The VMD202 contains protection devices to guard against damage and false triggering due to electrical transients caused by lightning or other sources. Always provide a good earth-ground connection to the green wire of the VMD202 remote control in standard applications or the black wire of the VMD202 probe in solar applications. A 20cm copper rod or metal cold-water pipe provides a sufficient earth-ground connection.

SOLAR NOTE: The probe consumes only 70 uA when no vehicle motion is detected and draws a higher current for 5 seconds when detecting vehicle motion. This table provides an average current draw based on an estimate of how many cars per day may activate the VMD202. Connect the remote to the probe to adjust the sensitivity, then remove the remote and power the probe directly from the operator (the remote draws extra current). A 12 VDC battery is recommended for solar applications (a 24 VDC battery can be used as well).
