DIABLO CONTROLS DSP-55 Loop and Mini Loop Vehicle Detector
Loop and Mini-Loop Vehicle Detector
- The DSP-55 is a compact vehicle detector that will operate on any voltage from 8 to 35 volts DC. The low voltage range is ideal for solar applications.
- The DSP-55 can be connected to a standard inductive loop or one of Diablo Controls mini-loops. The Diablo Controls mini-loop is a small “pipe shaped” device approximately 4-1/2” by 1” and is designed to be buried in the ground to detect vehicles.
- The DSP-55 can be used as either a safety loop or free exit loop detector. It should not be used as a safety loop if used with a mini-loop. It also has the flexibility to be either “fail-safe” or “fail-secure”.
- The DSP-55 has three solid-state FET outputs called A, B and -B outputs. The two B outputs are “normal” and “inverted”. These combinations of outputs allow for the DSP-55 to be easily interfaced to a wide variety of control boards.
- The DSP-55 has 10 selectable sensitivity settings and uses a 10-position DIP switch to configure the detector. This includes delay or extension timing functions and pulse on entry or pulse on exit features.
- This makes the DSP-55 very flexible and versatile for those installations that need a little more than a standard detector.

ʻIke Huahana
The DSP-55 Loop and Mini-Loop Vehicle Detector is a compact vehicle detector that operates on a wide voltage range of 8 to 35 volts DC, making it suitable for various installations including solar applications. It can be connected to standard inductive loops or Diablo Controls mini-loops, offering flexibility in detectionmethods. The detector features three solid-state outputs, fail-safeor fail-secure operation modes, and separate Power/Fail and Detect LEDs for easy monitoring.
Hoʻokomo
- Connect the DSP-55 to the desired loop configuration based on your installation requirements.
- Ensure proper power supply within the voltage range of 8 to 35 volts DC.
Hoʻonohonoho
- Use the 10-position DIP switch to set sensitivity levels and customize delay or extension timings.
- Adjust the sensitivity switch to accommodate different loop sizes or mini-loops.
Nā hoʻonohonoho puka
- Configure the solid-state outputs A, B, and -B based on your control board requirements.
- Output B can be set to presence, pulse on entry, pulse on exit, or loop fail modes.
Nānā
- Monitor the operation using the Flicker display that shows occupancy of the detection zone in pulse mode.
- Use the separate LEDs for Power/Fail and Detect status indication.

Hoʻololi noʻonoʻo:
This detector has a 10-position rotary sensitivity switch. The unit is shipped in the 5 position which is the normal sensitivity level. Sensitivity can be adjusted up or down from this level to accommodate different loop sizes or mini-loops.

Hana ʻole:
In fail-safe, the detector will output a detect when the loop circuit is failed. In fail-secure, the detector will not output a detect when the loop circuit is failed. Set DIP switch 3 to off to operate in fail-safe mode. Set the switch to on to operate in fail-secure mode. Note: Never use a fail-secure detector for a safety loop.
