Advanced Vehicle Detection for Parking and Access Control Systems The Northstar Controls NP3 Three-Channel Vehicle Detector is designed to deliver precise and reliable vehicle detection for parking access control systems. With 3 selectable sensitivity levels per channel and 4 frequency settings, the NP3 ensures accurate detection, even in high-traffic areas. The detector’s automatic sensitivity boost improves detection for larger or slow-moving vehicles, making it perfect for gated communities, commercial parking lots, and industrial properties. Its loop scanning technology prevents cross-talk between loops, providing optimal performance in complex setups. Key Features Three-Channel Detection: Optimized for open, safety, and exit loops in parking and access control systems. 3 Sensitivity Levels Per Channel: Adjust sensitivity for precise detection in various traffic conditions. 4 Selectable Frequencies: Prevent cross-talk with nearby loops, ensuring reliable detection. Automatic Sensitivity Boost: Enhances detection for large or slow vehicles. Loop Scanning Technology: Prevents cross-talk for smooth operation in multi-loop systems. Power/Fault and Detect Indicators: Easy-to-read indicators for quick diagnostics and monitoring. Technical Specifications Power Requirements: 10-30V DC, 5mA nominal. Sensitivity Settings: 3 selectable levels per channel (low to high). Frequency Settings: 4 levels per channel (high to low). Operating Temperature: -30°F to 180°F (-34°C to 82°C). Dimensions: 1.0” H x 3.0” D x 4.0” W. Conclusion The Northstar NP3 is an ideal choice for parking access control systems that require reliable detection across multiple loops. Its three-channel design, combined with selectable sensitivity and frequency settings, ensures accurate detection in gated communities, parking lots, and commercial properties. Whether you're managing access for a high-traffic area or a multi-loop system, the NP3 offers the precision and flexibility needed for efficient operation. Download Specs
