M-Gage S18M vehicle detection sensor operates on magnetoresistive-based passive technology. It detects 3-D changes in the earth’s natural magnetic field when the presence of a large metal (ferromagnetic) object such as a car, truck or railcar is introduced, causing the sensor’s outputs to switch. Sensor features a completely self-contained design, functioning as the receiver and using the earth’s magnetic field as its signal source. On-board technologies let the sensor automatically learn its own environment, determining ambient background characteristics and storing them in the sensor’s non-volatile memory.
