INSTALLING VEHICLE DETECTORS AND
LOOPS
A vehicle detector passes a small current ow
through the “loop” which then becomes an
inductive coil. When a vehicle passes over the
loop, the detector senses resultant drop in
inductance and actuates detector output.
Loop Congurations:
Congurations differ depending on application. In
parking applications, a loop may be as small as 4 x
6 ft (122 x 183cm). In trafc applications employing
one of our swing or slide gate operators, the
smallest loop should not be less than 6 x 6 ft (183
x 183cm) in order to detect high bed vehicles.
Rules to Follow for Security Gate Applications:
Side of the loop closest to the gate must be
located at least 4 ft from the line of travel.
1. Shortest side of loop should be between 6 and
8 feet (1.8m and 2.4m) in length. Longest side
of loop should be between 6 and 20 feet (1.8m
and 6.1m) in length. For applications that need
to span a wide area, use several smaller loops.
Do not connect more than 200 square feet
(18.6sq. m) of loop area to a single detector.
2. In applications with multiple loops, keep each
loop at least 6 ft (1.8m) apart. This avoids
“cross talk”. It is possible to have loops closer
together by selecting different frequencies. An
advantage of using HySecurity model Hy5B
detectors is that problematic “cross talk” is
not possible.
3. For greater sensitivity and less chance of
false calls caused by the motion of the gate,
it is better to use multiple smaller loops,
connected in a series circuit, to one detector
instead of a single large loop.
4. To avoid interference, keep loops at least
2-inches (5cm) above any reinforcing steel. Do
not route loop wires with, or in close proximity
to, any other conductors, including other
loop leads, unless shielded lead-in cable is
used. Never route high voltage circuits in PVC
conduit near a loop.
