In addition, the detection zone of the device may fluctuate due to changes in the local magnetic environment. • Failure to follow these procedures may result in serious injury or death. • All vehicles should approach doors at speeds that allow the operator to ensure the door is operating properly and in an open position. WARNING: • Do not use this device for personnel protection • Using this device for personnel protection could result in serious injury or death. • This device does not include the self-checking redundant circuitry necessary to allow its use in personnel safety applications. A device failure or malfunction can cause either an energized (on) or deenergized (off) output condition.

The sensor measures the change in the Earth’s natural magnetic field (the ambient magnetic field) caused by the introduction of a ferromagnetic object. The Q7M sensors provide an alternative to inductive loop systems. Mount the Q7M above-ground . Figure 1. Baseline Magnetic Field Theory of Operation The sensor uses three mutually perpendicular magnetoresistive transducers. Each transducer detects magnetic field changes along one axis. By incorporating three sensing elements, maximum sensor sensitivity is achieved. A ferrous object will alter the local (ambient) magnetic field surrounding the object. The magnitude of this magnetic field change is dependent both on the object (size, shape, orientation, and composition) and on the ambient magnetic field (strength and orientation). During a simple programming procedure, the Q7M measures the ambient magnetic field. When a large ferrous object (for example, a truck, automobile, or rail car) alters that magnetic field, the sensor detects the magnetic field changes (anomalies). When the degree of magnetic field change reaches the sensor’s threshold, the sensor’s discrete outputs switch. A. Baseline magnetic field, with slight disturbances caused by permanent ferrous-metal Sensor Field of View and Range objects within or near the sensor. The sensor range depends on three variables: 1. The local magnetic environment (including nearby ferrous material) Figure 2. Introduction of Large Steel Object 2. The magnetic properties of the object to be sensed 3. Sensor settings The Q7M can detect changes in the ambient magnetic field in all directions. As with other sensors, the range will depend on the target. The strong disturbance of a large ferrous object decreases as the distance from the sensor increases, and the magnitude and shape of the disturbance is dependent on the object’s shape and content. The sensor can be programmed to react to magnetic field disturbances of greater or lesser intensity using two adjustments: background condition and sensitivity level. Once background condition and sensitivity level are set, the sensor is ready to detect the target object. Both settings are stored in non-volatile memory. Note: The Q7M will continue to sense a vehicle in its sensing field, even when the vehicle is stopped. B. After a large steel target object is introduced, the sensor detects the differential (magnetic strength and orientation) between fields A and B. If the differential is greater than the sensitivity threshold, the sensor’s outputs conduct. Tip: Sensor may be mounted inside a non-ferrous architectural detail for cosmetic or security reasons. It is important that, wherever it is mounted, the sensor is securely attached during configuration and all later use. If the sensor moves after being taught, detection errors may occur and sensor must be re-taught. If a sensor appears to lose its taught settings, it may be a result of having shifted position after setup. 2 www.bannerengineering.com - Tel: + 1 888 373 6767 P/N 117172 Rev. F M-GAGE Q7M Flat-Pak Installation The Q7M is non-directional, and can be mounted in any position. The sensor may be mounted inside a non-ferrous architectural detail for cosmetic or security reasons. The end caps provide mounting holes at either end of the sensor. The sensor can be mounted to any desired surface (for example, cement or metal). Select a location as close as possible to the vehicle(s) to be detected. Figure 3. Installation using the mounting holes in the sensor's end caps In applications where the sensor is mounted to the side of the vehicle traffic lane (for example, in a kiosk, menu board, or gate control box), consideration must be made for movement of metallic objects within a few feet of the sensor on the opposite side of the traffic lane, even if the activity is not visible (for example, behind a wall or inside a building). Consult Banner Applications Engineer for further information. When mounting a QD-cable model, it is recommended to route the cable through conduit for protection from environmental conditions. The integral cable does not need such protection. Verify the sensor is securely attached during configuration and operation. If the sensor moves after being taught, detection errors may occur and the sensor must be re-taught. If a sensor appears to lose its taught settings, the sensor may have shifted position after configuration. Install the Sensor Above Ground Restriction: The models listed in this datasheet are not intended to be installed below ground because of inherent installation and environmental variability. Contact Banner Engineering for models designed for below ground installations. Installation Placement Considerations Figure 4. Example good sensor placement P/N 117172 Rev. F Good Placement Figure 4 on p. 3 shows an example of appropriate MGAGE sensor placement for vehicle detection. The sensor is placed at the edge of a traffic lane to detect the vehicle in the near lane. This type of placement is often used for a kiosk, menu board, or gate control box. www.bannerengineering.com - Tel: + 1 888 373 6767 3 M-GAGE Q7M Flat-Pak Figure 5. Example bad sensor placement Bad Placement Figure 5 on p. 4 depicts a potential problem installation. While mounting the sensor at the side of a lane may be successful, this mounting location increases the potential for detection problems. To reliably detect a vehicle from the side, the sensor sensitivity must be increased in order to see objects further away in the lane of interest. Unfortunately, this enables the sensor to also detect another object operating behind the sensor or vehicles in adjacent lanes, which will cause false counts. Place the M-GAGE sensor at the edge of a traffic lane only if there is no possibility of other objects being detected by the sensor. A good practice is to ensure that no vehicles will be within 3.05 m (10 ft) of the sensor on the non-traffic side. Sensor Configuration The sensor is configured via its gray Remote wire. The gray wire is always active and the sensor may be re-configured at any time. For optimum performance, secure the sensor so that it will not move either during or following the configuration. Power blue ON LED (common) wire with a normally Programming pulses may be executed by connecting the sensor's gray wire to the sensor's open mechanical button connected between them, or as a low (< 2 V DC) signal from a programmable logic controller (PLC), or Configuration/ using the model DPB1 Portable Programming Box, as shown. When a PLC is used for configuration, theOutput pulses ON LEDare acknowledged via the sensor output signal. Push Button When the DPB1 is used, the pulses are accomplished by clicking the DPB1 TEACH push button (0.04 seconds ≤ click ≤ 0.8 seconds). The sensor's output status is reflected by the DPB1 Output indicator LED. Figure 6. Sensor features Figure 7.

The following example application shows typical responses for the M-GAGE™ sensor. This example depicts mounting the M-GAGE™ 1 meter (3.3 ft) above the ground to sense an automobile. The graph shows the excess gain for a typical car. Excess gain is a measure of the amount of extra signal detected by the sensor over and above the Level needed to detect the target. This example assumes a Level 5 sensitivity threshold. The table at right compares the change in excess gain if the sensitivity Level changes. If the sensitivity is at Level 6, then the excess gain at a given distance would be 1.3 times larger than for a Level 5 sensitivity. Conversely, if the sensitivity threshold is Level 1, then the excess gain would be one third as big as for Level 5.
