Overview
What it is
EasyLoop D is a virtual loop sensor: a 79 GHz frequency-modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar that creates a configurable detection box in front of a boom barrier or gate. It does the job of an induction loop without cutting the road surface.
What it is used for
It activates barriers and ticket machines at car parks, toll lanes and site entrances, and it can also run as a presence sensor that holds a barrier open while a vehicle or person is under the boom. Bircher states conformity with EN 12453 Type D for the presence function.
Key features
- Two functions in one device: activation (motion) or safety (presence detection).
- Detection zone of 6 x 3 m at 90° mounting, or 6 x 4 m in 45° mode.
- Uni- or bidirectional detection with a single sensor.
- Sensitivity can be set to react to vehicles only or to vehicles and pedestrians.
- Setup, field adjustment and firmware updates through the EasyLoop mobile app over Bluetooth.
- If power becomes unstable while a vehicle is under the barrier, the radar signals the barrier to stay open.
Buying considerations
Choose EasyLoop D when one sensor must both trigger and safeguard the barrier. For presence detection only, EasyLoop S is the simpler model. Supply is 9 to 24 V DC, so check the barrier controller can provide it.
Installation considerations
Bircher specifies an installation height of 650 to 800 mm, on a post or directly on the barrier housing. The optional EasyLoop mounting bracket (article 487135) allows horizontal adjustment and 45° mounting. A 1.2 m, 10-pin cable with plug is supplied.
Compatibility
Relay outputs (NO and NC) connect to the loop or safety inputs of standard barrier and gate controllers. RS485 is also provided.
Features
In use
It activates barriers and ticket machines at car parks, toll lanes and site entrances, and it can also run as a presence sensor that holds a barrier open while a vehicle or person is under the boom.

Questions about this product
Does EasyLoop D need any cutting of the road?
No. It is mounted above ground on a post or the barrier housing at 650 to 800 mm and uses a radar field as a virtual loop, so no ground loop is installed.
What is the difference between EasyLoop D and EasyLoop S?
EasyLoop D can work as an activation sensor or as a presence (safety) sensor and supports 45° mounting. EasyLoop S is for presence detection only, according to the Bircher data sheets.
How is the detection area set?
With the EasyLoop mobile app over Bluetooth. Depth and width per side are adjustable within the ranges on the Bircher data sheet.
