Loop Detector Cross-Talk and False Calls 

The actual loop operating frequency (in KHz) is a function of the frequency DIP-switches on the loop 
detector. A common problem with loops are when they are positioned too close to each other and 
their detection fields overlap. If the loops are on similar frequencies, this can cause “cross-talk” 
between the loops and “false calls” can occur in the loop detector. Changing the frequency of 

one

 

loop (switching it’s frequency as far away from the other loop’s frequency as possible) will eliminate 
the “false calls”. Switching the frequency of a loop 

WILL NOT

 affect the loop’s detection height. 

Detection Field Around Loops

It is important that the loops are installed far enough away from all moving metal 
objects (gate) to keep the loop’s detection fields clear. The 1/2 to 2/3 the length 
of the short leg of the loop will determine a detection field limit. Do not install the 
loop closer to the gate than the short leg of the loop otherwise the movement of 
the gate will interfere with the loop’s detection field and the loop detector will 
give a “false call” and reverse the gate’s direction in mid-cycle. 

A simplified 

solution is to place loops AT LEAST 4 feet away from each other or the gate.

When loop detection fields do not overlap, 
loop detectors can be on similar frequencies. 

When loop detection fields overlap, loop detectors 

MUST

 be on 

different frequencies or they will “cross-talk”. (See below)
