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.
Vehicle detection loop detector wiring diagram.
In general loop vehicle detectors from all manufacturers work under the same principle and will all work reliably if the installation is done.
The wire gauge is not critical to proper operation of the loop detector.
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.
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.
Inductance loops are available as direct burial or cut in.
Since asphalt is more flexible than concrete it is recommended that a heavier gauge wire be used for loop installations in asphalt.
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.
Basics of vehicle detection loops.
The electronics unit applies alternating current electrical energy onto the wire loops at frequencies between 10 khz to 200 khz.
To check leakage disconnect loop from detector.
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.
Loop wire insulation and sealant.
Vehicle detection if no response should be an increased sensitivity to stall so repeated several times until the car seized stability for normal work.
A buried coil of wire loop in the roadway vehicle detector electronic module.
The marsh loop vehicle detector can be powered by either a 9 20vdc or 9 16vac.
An insulated electrically conducting loop is installed in the pavement.

The incorrect type of wire will also leak to ground.
The wire should maintain its integrity under the pavement stress.

The proper installation and material is critical.
It is shipped with a underwriters laboratories approved class 2 plug in the wall 12 vdc power adapter.
Be sure that other loop wire is floating not connected.
