DU800

'No more DIP switch setting - Wifi configuration and diagnostics using a smartphone'

The DU800 is a hands-free, WLAN diagnostic unit and is compatible with Nortech’s latest 8 series parking detectors. The DU800 provides a wireless communication channel with the parking detector, thereby allowing complete detector configuration and installation verification.

Product features & benefits

The unit attaches to the front of any of the latest 8 series parking detectors and transfers data to and from the detector via the USB connection. A Nortech Diagnostic App, Integr8, is available for download for both iOS and Android smart devices from their respective stores.

Data between the smart device and parking detector is sent over a WLAN link to the Integr8 App that displays the detector configuration and installation information. Data displayed includes graphical and text-based representations of loop excitation frequency, loop frequency drift, minimum and maximum loop frequency deviation and all detector configurations.

Changing configuration parameters within Integr8 will update the settings on the parking detector accordingly and the installation feedback will be updated. Integr8 has the capability of generating PDF reports based on the installation information gathered by the DU800 Diagnostic Unit. These reports may then be used for site sign off and future reference.

Smartphone-Based Wireless Configuration and Diagnostics for 8-Series Detectors

The DU800 transforms 8-Series detector installation and maintenance from a time-consuming process into a streamlined smartphone-controlled operation. This compact WLAN diagnostic unit eliminates the need for technicians to physically access DIP switches or squint at status LEDs in poorly-lit equipment cabinets. Simply attach the DU800 to any 8-Series detector, connect via the free Integr8 app, and configure every parameter from up to 20 metres away.

For parking operators managing multi-level facilities, traffic engineers commissioning roadside detection systems, or maintenance teams troubleshooting intermittent faults, the DU800 provides unprecedented visibility into loop performance. Real-time graphical displays show loop excitation frequency, frequency drift, and inductance deviation—data that previously required expensive loop analysers. The built-in PDF report generator creates professional installation sign-off documentation, capturing all configuration settings and loop measurements for site records. This capability proves invaluable during warranty discussions, handover procedures, and fault investigations where accurate historical data determines outcomes.

Frequently asked questions

Which 8-Series detectors are compatible with the DU800?

The DU800 is compatible with all 8-Series detectors including: PD182/PD184/PD282/PD284 (parking), TD182/TD184/TD282/TD284 (traffic), and all P-suffix opto output variants.

What smartphone platforms does the Integr8 app support?

The Integr8 diagnostic app is available for both iOS and Android devices, downloadable free from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.

What information is displayed in the Integr8 app?

Integr8 displays loop excitation frequency, frequency drift, minimum/maximum frequency deviation, all detector configuration parameters, and real-time vehicle detection status in both graphical and text formats.

How is the DU800 powered?

The DU800 is USB-powered (5V, 150mA), drawing power directly from the 8-Series detector when attached. No separate power supply or batteries are required.

What is included in the PDF installation report?

Generated reports include all detector configuration settings, loop inductance measurements, frequency analysis data, and installation verification results—providing comprehensive documentation for site handover and future reference.
