Loop Detector Cable Installation

Loop vehicle detector the proper installation and material is critical.

Loop detector cable installation.

Vehicle detector loop installation guide an inductive loop vehicle detection installation consists of three components. A field is created around the wire. Vehicle loops and loop detectors are used to detect the presence of a vehicle to open a gate or as a safety device to prevent the gate from closing on a vehicle in its path. Inductance loops are available as direct burial or cut in.

Before sealing the loop groove it is recommend ed to provisionally install the loop lineas and to measure the inductivity. The inductive loop the inductive loop is simply a coil of insulated copper wire. Dld1 24 dld2 24 or by means of an appropriate measuring device. Do not use any other method for connection.

The induction of a loop can be measured with the the help of a loop detector with an integrated measuring function e g. A vehicle passing near the wire will change the field. It consists of a number of turns of wire connected to a loop detector. The distance between the loop and the detector can safely be extended to 300 feet with proper extension cable however check with the vehicle detector manufacturer for confirmation.

A buried coil of wire loop in the roadway vehicle detector electronic module controlled device such as roller door or boom gate 1. In general direct burial loops are placed below the surface prior to application of asphalt or concrete while cut in loops are installed within a slot sawed into.
