Overview
What it is
ProLoop Lite is Bircher’s compact standard loop detector, described in the Sensorama brochure as the compact version of ProLoop2. It evaluates a wire loop in the road and switches relays when a metal vehicle is over the loop.
What it is used for
Opening sliding gates and barriers, triggering ticket machines and presence checks at car park entries where the full ProLoop2 feature set is not needed.
Key features
- LCD display and two push buttons, same operating concept as ProLoop2.
- Inductance range 20 to 1,000 µH, ideal 80 to 300 µH, with isolation transformer.
- Sensitivity 0.01 to 1.00% in 9 steps and Automatic Sensitivity Boost.
- Hold, on-delay, off-delay and pulse on entry or exit modes, 0.1 s to 99 h.
- Relay outputs rated 240 V AC, 2 A (AC-1) or 30 V DC, 1 A (DC-1).
Buying considerations
Supply options are 24 V DC or 230 V AC at 50 Hz; check that this suits your mains supply. The data sheets do not list the power-fail memory or alarm relay found on ProLoop2, so choose ProLoop2 when those are required.
Installation considerations
IP20 device for a cabinet or barrier housing, -20 to +60 °C. 11-pin versions plug into an ES12 base. Each channel needs its own induction loop.
Compatibility
Works with Bircher pre-assembled loops and site-laid loops within the stated inductance range, and with any barrier or gate controller that accepts a relay contact.

Questions about this product
What is the difference between ProLoop Lite and ProLoop2?
Bircher calls ProLoop Lite the compact standard version of ProLoop2. The Lite data sheets offer 24 V DC or 230 V AC only and do not list the alarm output or power-fail memory of ProLoop2.
Is there a 2-channel ProLoop Lite?
Yes, in DIN rail housing: 2.24DC and 2.230AC. The 11-pin versions are 1-channel only.
