M-GAGE® S18M — Vehicle Detection Sensor
Approved Applications
The M-GAGE sensor provides a direct replacement for inductive loop systems, and needs no external frequency controller box.
Unique mounting solutions allow an M-GAGE sensor to be replaced easily without disrupting or re-cutting the pavement.
Car Wash Entry/Exit
The Banner M-GAGE vehicle detection sensor will reliably
detect vehicles in and around car wash bays. It will
reliably detect the presence or absence of a vehicle to
provide collision avoidance at the exit of a conveyorized
tunnel, provide an entry or exit-door trigger, or trigger an
undercarriage wash.
Overhead Door
The Banner M-GAGE sensor can be used to trigger the
opening and closing of high-traffic internal overhead doors.
Mounted in the floor, it will reliably detect forklifts or trucks
as they approach the doors. Banner’s applications engineers
are available to help determine proper sensor placement for
specific door-trigger applications.
Drive-Up Kiosk
The Banner M-GAGE sensor reliably detects vehicles at
drive-through systems or other drive-up kiosks. It will
reliably detect a vehicle to trigger personnel that a vehicle
is present, and to initiate a timing system.
Loading Dock
The Banner M-GAGE sensor provides multiple advantages
for loading docks. It will reliably detect the presence of
a vehicle as it backs into a dock, triggering a light on the
interior of the building to notify the dock attendant that a
vehicle is in position for loading/unloading. The M-GAGE
can also be used to trigger dock/ramp leveling systems.

Procedure
Figure 2. Below-grade installation
Procedure
1) Lay out 2" (or 1.5") PVC in the desired configuration. For
the best sensor performance, the sensing location (located
at the end of the conduit run) should be 6" below the final
surface. Provide an access point where the PVC comes
above grade (where the sensor and flex conduit can be fed
in or pulled out, as required).
1) Mount the PVC electrical conduit from the sensing point
to the control panel. Plastic conduit should be used for at
least the first 6.1 m (20') from the sensing point; metal or
flexible conduit may be used the remainder of the distance.
2) Thread the S18M sensor into the threads of the SMP2
conduit plug.
3) Feed the fishtape into the conduit, from the control panel
towards the sensing point.
4) Pull the sensor cable back through the conduit, until the
sensor almost reaches the end of the plastic conduit. Do
NOT pull sensor into conduit.
2) Secure the end cap to the PVC, at the sensing location.
3) Measure the overall length of the PVC run, from the
sensing location to the control panel.
5) Apply a small amount of silicone adhesive to the outside of
the conduit at the sensing point end.
4) Cut a section of ꢀ" flex conduit to span the total distance
from the control panel to the sensing location.
6) Press the conduit plug into the end of the conduit.
5) Thread the sensor into the SMP1 conduit plug. Feed the
sensor cable into the flex conduit, until the sensor and plug
are snugly seated in the end of the flex conduit.
7) After the sensor is configured (see following section), wire
the sensor into the control device and power supply per the
wiring diagram on page 8.
6) Feed the flex conduit by hand, sensor-end first, into the
PVC access point until the sensor reaches the PVC end cap.
7) Secure the remaining flex conduit from the access point to
the control cabinet.
8) After the sensor is configured (see following sections), wire
the sensor into the control device and power supply per the
wiring diagram on page 8.

M-GAGE® S18M — Vehicle Detection Sensor
Sensor Configuration
For most applications, configure the M-GAGE sensor remotely, via the DPB1 Portable
Programming Box, which provides programming access to an underground or
otherwise inaccessible sensor. For optimum performance, the sensor must be fixtured
so that it will not move either during or following configuration.
Configuration using the sensor’s built-in push button is useful primarily for
demonstration and troubleshooting purposes.

Configuration via the DPB1 Portable Programming Box
Set Background Condition (No Vehicle Present)
Push Button
Wire the M-GAGE sensor to the DPB1 as shown in Figure 4. Remove all vehicles and all other
metal objects temporarily in the sensing area, before setting the background condition.
Configuration
• “Click” the DPB1 TEACH push button once.
Result
• Sensor learns background.
• Output indicator LED flashes
approximately 12 times, while
background is taught.
• Sensor returns to RUN mode.

Set Sensitivity Level (6 sensitivity levels; level 1 least sensitive, level 6 most sensitive)
Configuration
• “Double-click” the DPB1 TEACH push button.
Result
• Output LED flashes every 2 seconds;
sensor is at sensitivity level 1.
(When using the DPB1, the sensor
always reverts to sensitivity level 1.)
• To increase the sensitivity in increments,
“click” the push button again;
continue until desired
• Output LED will flash from 1 to 6
times every 2 seconds to indicate
sensor’s sensitivity level (e.g., twice
to indicate level 2).

• “Double-click” push button
to save setting.
• Sensor returns to RUN mode
• Drive a vehicle past/over sensor to trip the
output; verify Output LED comes ON as
expected. Use a small/light vehicle to ensure
larger vehicles will be detected later.
• Adjust the sensitivity as needed.
• Disconnect DPB1 and hardwire sensor to
permanent power supply/output device (user-
supplied). See page 8.

Excess Gain vs Sensitivity Level
(Assumes Level 5)
Excess Gain

Excess Gain Multiplier
Typical Target Excess Gain Curves
Once the sensor has been securely mounted and is configured, it is ready to operate.
The following two example applications show typical responses for the M-GAGE
sensor.

0.33
0.4
3
0.5
Example 1 describes mounting the M-GAGE 1 meter above the ground to sense an
automobile; see Figure 5. The graph in Figure 5 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.
4
0.66
1.0
5*
6
1.3
*Factory default setting
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.
Example 2 (see Figure 6) illustrates a typical vehicle passing over a sensor mounted
underground. Note that excess gain is greatest when the bulk of the vehicle (the rear
axle) is positioned directly over the sensor.
