Yes, unless you have an LRS-L(logic interface) or you can utilize the NPN output available from the FP/DB.
If you have the LRS-L, you will still need one controller for initial programming of the sensor.
Shapes the detection field to reduce sensitivity from objects in the direction of the OFF axis.
They default to all ON if all three are set to off.
If there is no car parked near the sensor, this means the sensor sees a disturbance from ferrous metal local to the sensor or the sensor itself has moved since the calibration with controller.
A hard sealant that wont flex as pressure is applied to it. If the sealant can flex, it may allow slight sensor movement which will cause false detections/lockups.
The sealant also shouldn’t extend above the roadway. If it does, vehicle weight may be applied directly to the sensor and cause false detect/lockups.
Yes, it is somewhat easier to mount the DB sensor using straps but either model (DB or FP) can be mounted above ground if they are secured in a way that ensures no movement.
