1. OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS

Crosstalk
Two loop sensors installed next to each other can cause interference crosstalk and false
detects.
This can be eliminated or reduced by selecting different frequencies (dipswitch 1 OFF=HIGH,
ON=LOW) and not having a spacing of less than 1 meter between loops.
Reinforcing
Reinforced steel below the loop sensor (steel mesh beneath the road surface) can reduce
Sensitivity.
In this case, one or two additional turns of wire should be added to the loop.
2. INSTALLATION
Loop wire
It is recommended to use silicon insulated wire with diameter 1.5 mm and should have no
joints along its length.
The sensing loop should have 3 turns of wire.
The sensing loop feeder should be twisted at least 30 twists per meter and run separately from
other wires and be short as possible.
Loop installation
Slots cut into the road should be 3 - 4 cm deep.
The sensing loop should be rectangular in shape with the longest side covering the road
width.
A 45° crosscut should be made at the corners of the rectange, reducing the chance of damaging
the cable.
After the wire has been seated into the bottom of the slots, the slots and wire must be sealed in
tight so they cannot move with silicon or bitumen seal.
WARNING: to avoid reducing the sensitivity of the magnetic field generated, do not pass
the wire inside the pipes or sheaths.
3. LOOP DETECTOR SETUP
Select functions on 9 way dipswitch as required.
Apply power: after 5 seconds the unit will beep once and red status led DL1 will flash.
The unit will beep for the first 10 detections.
