Installing the Road Loop Antenna
A normal antenna installation should take about two hours using a
walk-behind concrete saw with an abrasive blade to cut asphalt. Two
1/8" blades with a spacer will be required.
The same antenna should take about three hours to cut in concrete
using a diamond cut blade. Two 1/8" blades with a spacer will be
required.
Step 1:
Confirm that the loop is correctly marked on the road
surface.
Step 2:
Lay out the 45-degree corner cuts. It is helpful to create a
template with the dimensions 3¼” x 3¼” x 4½” (Figure 26).
