BEA 10MATRIXIIS1224 Single-Channel Inductive Loop Detector – 12–24VAC/DC | Automatic Gate & Industrial Door Vehicle Detection

Commercial Vehicle Detection Controller | Automatic Sensitivity Boost | Dual Relay Outputs | Adjustable Presence & Pulse Detection | UL 508 Listed

The BEA 10MATRIXIIS1224 MATRIX Series Inductive Loop Detector is a commercial-grade, single-channel vehicle detection controller designed for automatic gates, parking barrier systems, industrial overhead doors, and commercial vehicle access applications.

Operating on 12–24VAC/VDC, the BEA 10MATRIXIIS1224 provides reliable vehicle presence detection through a properly installed inductive loop embedded in pavement or another suitable mounting surface.

Featuring Automatic Sensitivity Boost (ASB), adjustable detection sensitivity, programmable presence and pulse outputs, and two changeover relay outputs, the MATRIX Series offers flexible integration with a wide range of commercial gate operators and industrial door control systems.

The automatic sensitivity boost feature increases detection sensitivity after a vehicle is detected, helping maintain vehicle presence detection for high-clearance vehicles such as delivery trucks, commercial trailers, and industrial equipment.

The detector also supports presence detection, pulse on entry, and pulse on exit functions, allowing installers to configure the controller for specific vehicle detection and access control requirements.

With automatic loop tuning, adjustable operating frequencies, diagnostic LED indicators, and a compact plug-in design, the BEA 10MATRIXIIS1224 is ideal for warehouses, distribution centers, loading docks, parking garages, commercial gates, and industrial facilities.

Technical Specifications

How the BEA 10MATRIXIIS1224 Works

The BEA MATRIX detector monitors electrical changes in an inductive loop installed beneath pavement or another suitable surface.

Step 1 – Vehicle Approaches

A vehicle enters the area above the installed inductive detection loop.

Step 2 – Inductance Changes

The vehicle's metal mass changes the electrical characteristics of the loop.

Step 3 – Vehicle Detection

The MATRIX controller senses the change in inductance and determines whether it exceeds the configured detection threshold.

Step 4 – Relay Activation

The detector activates the appropriate relay outputs according to its programmed settings.

Step 5 – Gate or Door Operation

The connected gate operator, parking barrier, or industrial door controller receives the detection signal and responds according to its programmed operating sequence.

Step 6 – Vehicle Departure

When the vehicle leaves the detection area, the controller responds according to its configured presence or pulse mode.
