LOOP
Elsema stocks pre-made loops for easy installation. Our pre-made loops are suitable for all types of installations.
Either for cut-in, concrete pour or direct hot asphalt overlay.
see www.elsema.com/auto/loopdetector.htm
Loop1200 : 1.2 x 1.2 metres -- 3 metres Lead-in plus 3 metres twisted wire.
Loop1500 : 1.5 x 0.8 metres -- 3 metres Lead-in plus 3 metres twisted wire.
Loop2000 : 2.0 x 1.2 metres -- 3 metres Lead-in plus 3 metres twisted wire.
We can also make custom size loops. Please contact us for your custom loop size.
Detector position and installation
Install the detector in a weatherproof housing.
The detector should be as close to the sensing loop as possible.
The detector should always be installed away from strong magnetic fields.
Avoid running high voltage wires near the loop detectors.
Do not install the detector on vibrating objects.
When the control box is installed within 10 metres of the loop, normal wires can be used to connect the
control box to the loop. More than 10 metres requires the use of a 2 core shielded cable. Do not exceed
30 metres distance between control box and loop.
Troubleshooting
Symptoms Solution
If the detector is not working Press reset
If red led indicator is not fully lit Check for power supply
If green led
indicator:
Blinks slowly It maybe because the loop is short circuit or the no: of turns is not
enough.
Blinks faster It maybe because the loop is open or the no: of turns is too many.
If no: of turns is not enough Lower the frequency (if the frequency is still too high, you must add
more turns).
If no: of turns is too many Higher the frequency (if the frequency is still too low, you must
remove some turns).
