Frequently Asked Questions - ELVOX ZR02 Vimar

How to install the ELVOX ZR02 loop detector?

Install the loop in a trench of appropriate depth (see guide). Use a twisted cable (at least 15 twists/m) with a cross-section of 1.5 mm². Connect the loop to the 11-pin connector according to the diagram. Ensure that the connecting cable does not exceed 100 m and is securely fixed. For the double loop, respect the recommended spacing (1 m between loops for directional mode).

What to do if the red LED flashes slowly (0.5 Hz)?

A slow flash (0.5 Hz) indicates a short-circuited or non-oscillating loop. Check the wiring of the affected loop: look for a short circuit, break, or bad connection. If the problem persists, replace the loop or cable.

How to adjust the detector sensitivity?

Use the sensitivity potentiometer (SENSIBILITE) located on the housing. It allows a linear adjustment from 0.005% to 0.5% (ΔL/L). Turn the potentiometer clockwise to increase sensitivity, counterclockwise to decrease it. For optimal truck detection, activate the ASB option (Dip switch #4 ON) which multiplies sensitivity by 8 during detection.

How to configure pulse mode?

To configure pulse mode, set the dip switches: DS#5 to ON (pulse on relay A), DS#6 for direction (entry/exit), DS#7 for relay B (presence or pulse), DS#8 for relay B direction, and DS#9 for duration (100 ms or 500 ms). Consult the configuration table in the manual for exact settings according to the desired mode.

What is the difference between independent mode and combined mode?

In independent mode (Dip switch #10 OFF), each loop controls its own relay independently. In combined mode (Dip switch #10 ON), both loops work together: relay A indicates presence detection and relay B gives the direction of movement (directional or non-directional depending on DS#6). Combined mode is used for direction detection.

How to wire the 11-pin connector?

Pinout of connector 86CP11: Pin 1 and 2: power supply (12-24 V AC/DC); Pin 3: Relay B (NO); Pin 4: Relay B (COM); Pin 5: Relay A (NO); Pin 6: Relay A (COM); Pin 7: Loop A; Pin 8: Common loop and ground; Pin 9: Loop B; Pin 10: Relay A (NC); Pin 11: Relay B (NC). Caution: do not remove the grease from the connector pins.

What to do if the detector does not work (green LED off)?

The green LED off means the controller is not powered. Check the power supply (voltage and frequency). Ensure that the wiring of pins 1 and 2 is correct. If the power supply is good, the controller may be defective; contact after-sales service.

How to adjust the loop frequency?

Use dip switches #1 and #2 to adjust the frequency. For a single loop: DS#1 and DS#2 adjust the frequency of loop A (see table: OFF/OFF = high, ON/OFF = medium high, etc.). For a double loop: DS#1 adjusts loop A, DS#2 adjusts loop B. Four possible positions. After each change, the controller automatically restarts the learning procedure.

Can the detector detect trucks?

Yes, thanks to the ASB (Automatic Sensitivity Boost) option activated by dip switch #4. During detection, sensitivity is automatically multiplied by 8 (limited to maximum sensitivity) to improve detection of high-ground-clearance vehicles like trucks. It is recommended to activate this option for better reliability.

How to clean and maintain the ELVOX ZR02 detector?

Before any operation, disconnect the device from the power supply. Clean the housing with a dry or slightly damp cloth (without solvents). Periodically check the connections and the condition of the loops. Do not obstruct the ventilation openings. In case of a fault, do not modify the device; entrust it to an approved center.

DESCRIPTION OF THE SENSOR

LOOPS INSTALLATION TIPS

A. CABLE SPECIFICATIONS FOR LOOP AND FEEDER

1.5mm² cross section area
Multi-strand cable
Insulation material : PVC or Silicone
- For the feeder cable, the wire must be twisted at least 15 times by meter
- Feeder for long runs used for foil screened cable is recommended (earth at equipment end only)
- The feeder cable must be firmly fixed to avoid any false detection (max length : 100 m)
- Waterproof cable junction box is required

B. LOOP GEOMETRY

• With two adjacent loops connected to a dual channel sensor, it is possible for these loops to share a common slot, if so required. As the channels are multiplexed, no interference will occur
• Avoid large loops or long feeder (max 100 m), the sensitivity will be affected

Frequency adjustment for loop A for single loop detector
Dip Switch #1	Dip Switch #2	Loop frequency
OFF	OFF	High
ON	OFF	Mid High [High -20%]
OFF	ON	Mid Low [High - 25%]
ON	ON	Low [High - 30%]

LED SIGNAL

• 1 Green LED shows when the module is powered
  2 Red LEDs give

the corresponding loop detection state in normal situation
- the value of the oscillation frequency measurement or an error message on power ON

In normal situation the red LED stays ON as long as the loop detects any metallic object.

On power ON the sensor measures the oscillation frequency of each loop. The result of this measurement is displayed using

the corresponding red LED. The amount of blinking indicates the tens value of the frequency. For example 4 short flashes correspond to a frequency between 40kHz and 49kHz . After this message the LED goes back to normal display.

If the loop oscillation frequency falls outside the limits set between 20kHz and 130kHz the red LED displays an error

message and the sensor activates the corresponding relay. The blinking frequency shows the type of error according to the

next table. The sensor will stay in this state until the problem is cleared and the frequency goes to the right range.

Remark : The sensor launches automatically a learning process if the oscillation frequency changes more than 10% in

comparison with the measurement value.

Loop frequency error LED d	splay
Oscillation frequency too LOW or loop open	LED blinking at 1Hz
Oscillation frequency too HIGH LED blinding faster at 2 Hz	blinking faster at 2 Hz
Loop shorted or no oscillation LED blinding slower at 0.5 Hz	blinding slower at 0.5 Hz

TROUBLESHOOTINGS

SYMPTOM PROBABLE CAUSE CORRECT ACTION
The loop detector will not workThe green LED is off	There is no power supply to the loop detector	Check power supply
The loop detector will not workThe red LED is flashing slowly (0.5 Hz)	The corresponding loop is shorted	Check the loop cable
The loop detector will not workThe red LED blinks at either 1Hz or 2Hz	The frequency of oscillation falls outside the allowed range	Adjust frequency with dip switches or change loop turns
The loop LED is detecting properly but the contact is not made	Bad connection of the relay contacts	Check relay connections
Dip switches 5 to 8 are not responding properly	Their function varies according to dip switch #10 setting	Check the appropriate loop mode required and adjust dip switch #10

C. DETERMINATION OF THE NUMBER OF LOOP TURNS

WARNING:

For conformity reasons, in any situation, the antenna factor defined as the loop surface multiplied by the number of turns should not exceed NA = 20

For example, if L = 2m , Ea = 1m and the number of turns = 4 , then the NA = 2 × 1 × 4 = 8 < 20 .

Find hereafter the recommended values for the turns :

Area Number of turns
< 3 m2	4

6 - 10 m2	2
