MD2010
METAL LOOP DETECTOR
Once complete, seal the loop slots with epoxy compound or bitumen filler. (It is recommended this is only done
after the detector has been connected and tested).
Outline of the Dip-switch setting options:-
Please note: The MD2010 must be reset (Dip 9 below) every time a setting change is made to the
dip-switches.
On initial power up the detector will also reset.
Dip-switch 1 – Freq. (Frequency):-
This setting is used in cases where two or more loop detectors and sensing loops have been installed. (The
sensing loops and detectors should be positioned at least 2m apart). Set one detector to HI frequency and the
other set to LO frequency to minimize the effects of crosstalk between the two systems.
OFF = Low frequency
ON = High frequency
Dip-switch 2 and 3 – Sensitivity:-
This setting determines the necessary change to the loop frequency to trigger the detector, as
metal passes across the sensing loop area.
2 OFF and 3 OFF = Low sensitivity 1% of loop frequency
2 ON and 3 OFF = Low to Medium sensitivity 0.5% of loop frequency
2 OFF and 3 ON = Medium to High sensitivity 0.1% of loop frequency
2 ON and 3 ON = High sensitivity 0.02% of loop frequency
Dip-switch 4 - Boost mode:-
If boost mode is ON the detector will immediately switch to high sensitivity once activated.
As soon as the vehicle is no longer being detected the sensitivity reverts back to what has been set on
dipswitch 2 and 3.
This mode is used when the height of the undercarriage of a vehicle increases as it passes over the sensing
loop.
OFF = No boost active
ON = Boost mode active
Dip-switch 5 – Permanent presence or limited presence mode:- (When presence mode selected.
See dip-switch 8)
