Vehicle Detection Loop Detector Wiring Diagram
This video just want to show our traffic vehicle detector function and the loop inductive can be identification if you want to use it for traffic control app.
Vehicle detection loop detector wiring diagram. Loop detectors are used in conjunction with vehicle detection loops to detect vehicular traffic traveling or stopping overhead in a roadway these are commonly used to trigger traffic lights and you have undoubtedly traveled over thousands of them without even realizing it. 02 9475 4742 email. Nortech detection pty ltd tel. The marsh loop vehicle detector can be powered by either a 9 20vdc or 9 16vac.
However the power can be supplied by any external device and connected via the screw terminals provided inside the enclosure. Be sure that other loop wire is floating not connected. 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. The electronics unit applies alternating current electrical energy onto the wire loops at frequencies between 10 khz to 200 khz.
It is shipped with a underwriters laboratories approved class 2 plug in the wall 12 vdc power adapter. A buried coil of wire loop in the roadway vehicle detector electronic module. The incorrect type of wire will also leak to ground. 02 8977 4047 fax.
In general loop vehicle detectors from all manufacturers work under the same principle and will all work reliably if the installation is done. An insulated electrically conducting loop is installed in the pavement. Use a multi meter to measure the resistance from one loop wire to ground stick long nail in dirt if operator does not have ground. Inductance loops are available as direct burial or cut in.
Basics of vehicle detection loops. 3 wiring diagram pin designation 1 live 230v ac 50 60 hz 2 neutral 3 pulse relay normally open contact 4 pulse relay common contact 5 presence normally open contact 6 presence relay common contact. The proper installation and material is critical. 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.
Since asphalt is more flexible than concrete it is recommended that a heavier gauge wire be used for loop installations in asphalt. The wire should maintain its integrity under the pavement stress. Loop wire insulation and sealant. Vehicle detection loops called inductive loop traffic detectors can detect vehicles passing or arriving at a certain point for instance approaching a traffic light or in motorway traffic.
